Cub Cadet re-establishes a commitment

Cub Cadet’s new PRO Z line is a sign that Cub Cadet wants to make a splash in the landscape contractor’s world.

“This is a re-commitment to the commercial space,” says Dave Mullen, vice president of product marketing for Cub Cadet. “It’s about a healthy dealer network who can provide a variety of products.”

The PRO Z line has a triple-7-gauge deck on the market, and is available in 54-, 60- and 72-inch cutting widths. The steel cutting deck has three layers of 7-gauge steel, a rolled leading edge and side reinforcements, making it the thickest, strongest steel deck in the industry.
Landscape contractors were also involved in the development of this series.

“It was extremely important to involve the professionals who operate the equipment day in and day out. With their help, Cub Cadet has developed a commercial zero-turn mower that not only meets expectations, but exceeds them,” Mullen says.

The full lineup consists of the PRO Z 100, 500, 700 and 900 Series, designed to meet the needs of different-sized landscape crews.

The industry’s only triple-7-gauge deck features three layers of 7-gauge steel, plus ¼-inch leading edge and 5/16-inch side reinforcements. The full length, laser cut steel frame, the 5/16-inch steel rear bumper and the cutting deck are protected with e-coating – a precise, multi-stage process that provides automotive-grade corrosion defense.
