- Is the Cub Cadet Z246S good for a homeowner with about an acre?
- Yes. Its 46-inch deck and zero-turn steering make quick work of an acre or more of open lawn. It is a residential machine, not a commercial one, so heavy daily use is beyond its design.
- How does the Z246S differ from Cub Cadet's Ultima ZT1?
- The ZT1 line uses heavier fabricated decks and offers more comfort features. The Z246S has a stamped 46-inch deck and a simpler feature set, which suits lighter residential use.
- What engine does the Z246S use?
- It uses a 24 hp Kohler twin-cylinder engine. Owners report easy starts and enough power for tall grass and moderate slopes.
- Can the Z246S handle slopes?
- It manages gentle to moderate slopes, but zero turn mowers lose traction on steep or wet hills. Mow slopes up and down rather than across for safety.
- Does the 46-inch deck fit through a standard gate?
- A 46-inch deck fits through most 48-inch and wider gates but not through narrow 36-inch openings. Measure your gate before buying.
- What comes in the box with the Z246S?
- It ships as a mower with its 46-inch deck, engine, hydrostatic drives and lap bars. Assembly of the steering arms and some setup are typically required.
