Cub Cadet PRO Z 500 (60-in)
The PRO Z 500 is where Cub Cadet's commercial line gets serious, sitting above the homeowner machines and below the flagship 700 and 900. The headline is the deck, a triple-7-gauge fabricated unit reinforced top, bottom and sides that shrugs off work a homeowner deck could not, driven by a 27 HP Kawasaki and Parker commercial transaxles good for 12 mph. You choose steering sticks or a steering wheel, maintenance-free spindles cut downtime, and a suspension seat keeps long days bearable. A three-year, no-hour-limit commercial warranty backs it. It is dealer-sold at a commercial price. For a landscaper or a large property that wants Cub Cadet build rated for real hours, it is a strong, well-priced commercial option.
