Finally got a ZTR...

[TeamZero]

After mulling it over for 2 years finally picked up a Cub ZTS2 54in . This to replace my Simplicity 2011 46in rider. Should be a nice upgrade! Has the 24hp Kohler on it, and ZT 2800 diffs

I like it! I like the open frame design. Easier to work on. Its got headlights! I've been know to mow until i could barely see. If the headlights are bright enough, that would be great to have.

I like how it looks better than my toro.

Are the steering units serviceable?

My ZT3400s have filters on them and you can change the oil...2800s should be the same.

 

[TeamZero]

Are the steering units serviceable?

Yep....with filters also.

Did your Simplicity mower die or did you just want a new mower? Simplicity has made some excellent machines over the years, if not recently.

Nope still works great....wanted something bigger/faster

I’ve got the non-steering wheel version with the 50” deck and Kawasaki engine. Mine has the ZT-2800 drive units, Cub later switched to Tuff Torque TZ 350’s on those. Love my mower, less than an hour to do 2 acres!

Cool! How is the throttle actuated on that?

I have a Gravely ZTXL with the ZT-2800s.

What oil will you run?

I decided on M1 15W-50 to simplify things since that’s what the hydros call for.

Awesome!

I’m running a mulching kit on mine.

Came in handy last fall with the leaves.

You doing traditional side discharge or mulch?

Well.....not sure yet. My old rider used to cut grass pretty fine, so just did side discharge. I'll have to see how this does, only cut once so far. Works sooooo well and is way more comfortable
