Questions answered
FAQ
What size yards is the Z2 42 built for?
The 42-inch AeroForce™ fabricated deck and 21.5HP Kawasaki® twin are ideal for lawns from 1 to 3 acres. At 7 MPH it cuts mowing time roughly in half compared with a 42-in lawn tractor.
Will it fit through my backyard gate?
Yes — the 42-inch deck is the most gate-friendly size in the Ultima Series™ Z lineup and clears most standard backyard fence openings.
Does it come assembled?
Cubcade coordinates delivery of this unit through its dealer network. Your local dealer preps the mower — fluids topped, battery connected and charged, tire pressures checked, warranty registered — and delivers it fully assembled and ready to mow.
How tight does it turn?
0-degree turning radius. Dual Hydro-Gear® EZT 2200 transmissions with lap-bar steering let you pivot around trees and beds without trimming afterward.
What's the warranty?
3-year unlimited-hour residential warranty, plus a lifetime limited frame warranty and lifetime limited fabricated deck shell warranty.
Can I bag or mulch?
Yes. A bagger and an Xtreme® mulching kit are available as accessories (sold separately).
