Our verdict
Cub Cadet PRO Z 754 S
This is the rare zero-turn that is genuinely better on a hill, and the reason is the steering wheel. Synchro-Steer turns the front wheels as well as driving the rears, so you keep steering when a rear wheel starts to slip. That is why Cub Cadet rates it to 20 degrees where most lap-bar machines stop at 15. Underneath sits a 27 HP Kawasaki, a triple-7-gauge deck and maintenance-free spindles, with three years of warranty and no hour limit. It costs commercial money and it is dealer-sold. If you have real slopes and want to stay on a rider, this belongs near the top of your list.
