Cub Cadet professional-grade
Kawasaki®engine is built for
long life, extended durability
and commercial-grade
performance. (RZT 50, 54)
(Kohler®engine on RZT 42, Briggs
& Stratton® engine on RZT 50VT)
Heavy-duty front caster
wheels provide a steady
ride for maximum comfort
and are easier on turf.
CLEANER CUT
The pivoting front axle and floating deck follow the contours of the
ground for superior cutting, providing a smoother and more uniform look.
EASIER CLEAN-UP
The bagger attachment is easy to
use and keeps your yard looking great.
SMARTER TECHNOLOGY
The dual transmission utilizes the
full potential of both the engine and
transmission. With no hoses between
the pump and motor, there’s more power
for the deck.
