Cub Cadet Ultima ZTXS4 60

If you've got a lot of ground to cover and a yard that doesn't cooperate — hills, uneven terrain, tight spots — the ZTXS4 60 was built with that in mind. The 60-inch deck handles large properties efficiently, while Cub Cadet's Synchro-Steer™ 4-wheel steering system gives you control on slopes that would have a standard zero-turn sliding or pulling off course. If you've been hesitant about zero-turns on hills, this one's worth a closer look.

Most zero-turns use lap bars. The ZTXS4 60 uses a steering wheel with an adjustable tilting column, which feels natural if you're coming from a traditional riding mower. The Synchro-Steer system coordinates all four wheels, giving you stable, straight-line tracking on hillsides up to 20 degrees — something conventional zero-turn steering struggles with on side slopes.

The 26 HP Kohler KT745 Pro 7000 Series V-twin keeps up with the wide deck without strain, and dual Hydro-Gear ZT 3100 hydrostatic transmissions deliver up to 8 MPH forward. On a large property, that speed adds up to real time savings.

The deck is 10-gauge steel with 2-gauge reinforcement — heavier construction than you'll find on residential-grade machines. The frame is a continuous 1.5" x 3" tubular steel design with a triple-guard corrosion defense e-coat system, which matters in the Pacific Northwest where wet seasons are long and rust starts early. A lifetime limited warranty on both the frame and deck shell backs up that construction.

The 4-year/800-hour warranty covers residential and commercial use — one of the stronger coverage packages in this class.

The ZTXS4 60 comes standard with Turf Master tires, which are designed for maintained lawns. If your property has consistently muddy sections or soft ground, those tires won't get you through it — that's just the honest truth about turf-style tread in wet conditions. This mower is at its best on established grass, even on challenging slopes. If mud is a regular part of your mowing season, come talk to us about what makes more sense for your property.
