The lights are always on because they’re LED, whether they’re on or off is inconsequential. You’ll never make up for the effort and cost of putting in a switch. You do a great job on video presentation.
@@DoMorewLess yep same unit?? Just smaller deck. You’ll love it. Just know its limits. I have the 54 but I have the tractor with 50. I think the 50 deck mow better as in smoother lawn. But I’m a pain in the azz bout my yard. lol thanks for watching
I use a 50 year old cub cadet to cut grass every week. Yours might b just a little faster and better. Lol. Thinking about upgrading to a zero turn. Great video.
I have this exact model. Any advice why exactly the left and right levers for forward and reverse don’t match up off about 1/4 of an inch even after using the fine adjustments if I make them dead even the same then it pulls one way or the other
I have fiddled with that same problem lol. I have messed with that adjustment on the handles with no luck. Im thinking there are cable adjustments down under the machine maybe right before they attach to the hydraulics. Haven’t got under it yet to look. It’s on my todo list. Manual doesn’t say much about that.
Great job showing and telling, I am restoring my old club got it all a part. I did it to check everything on it to see what I need for new parts or not. Rebuilding the motor it used to much oil , well wish me luck on everything working right and well see ya next time see ya bye.
I have a old sears lawn tractor that basically use for chores, etc. Doesnt mow as to slow but it has that Rev. 1,2,3 gears in high and low.. pretty cool...Good luck on your project..
Man that's a great idea with the lights, I have the 42 with 85hours 1yr. That seat falling forward drove me crazy at first, I did a thing on mine lol. I also have 2005 ZTR 50 Cub with the Briggs V twin 475hrs not as fast or comfortable as the Big Brother but it still cuts awesome! and the Briggs engine is very strong. If this ZT1 last as long as the ZTR I'm pleased! Great review
Don’t blame ya. Nice seat just to let fall into the floor plate. Lol.. hasn’t drove me to the point of modification yet but eventually It most likely will..
It is a good lawn mower to start off with for your business depending on how many properties you mow would not recommended long-term we have one in our lawn care business we're going to keep it as a backup or upgrade and sell it overall ours has done well if you have any questions about the industry be happy to try to help this will be my wife's and mine six years in the business
I have the newer model ZT1 54" with the "S" Blades (490 110 C194) which are very expensive. I would like to swap out the 3 "S" spindles (618P09236) for the Star Spindle which offers a better selection of Blades at a much lower price. Like the Oregon 3 gator blade. They don't make any for the "S" blades. Any one know of a switch over spindle that will work?
Is it normal for there to be black smoke on startup when the choke is applied? Runs like a champ with no smoke when once I take it out of choke position.
When you choke it your basically feeding the carb a bunch of extra fuel. As soon as it starts pull it into the high idle detent out of choke. Pretty normal, black smoke is extra fuel. White smoke is not good.

I would doubt it as they are leds.. so low draw anyway.. I just dont like the idea of using a light....any light when you dont need it.. guessing it was a safety thingy.. kinda like the cut off switches in the seats etc.. thanks for the comments and watching...
I bought it for my “good” yard. Most lawn tractors and zero turns are not ment for “field” type work. They just wouldn’t hold up over time. That being said I have used mine out in hay field to trim around fence posts etc. if you mean light duty as not a commercially used mower? I think there could be better choice nut for what this was designed to be used for ……does a good job
Also might add this is my experience with this mower BUT I take exceptionally good care of all my equipment so that can play into anything one buys and owns.
@@sneezeacres5240 just looked on a local dealer website, shows it in fact does not come with a hour meter. It’s not a deal breaker but is annoying for the price you pay.
I just purchased my ZT1 42in 3 weeks ago. It did NOT have an hour meter. I purchased one at Tractor Supply and installed it. Easy to do. My only problem now is from the moment I installed the meter it say's "LO pressure"! I wouldn't have known a thing if I didn't install the meter! I'm hoping it's just because it is new and only has 3 hrs on it. IMO these mowers should come stock with the hour meter!
Use the star hand bolt under your seat and put it on your front deck plate .so you can remove it toolless .I did.

Old school I guess ya shut lights off when no need lol
i have been on the bubble
for weeks on deciding which one to buy, it think the 50" CC Zero has me
sold

@@sneezeacres5240 yes sir, id go 54" also but my atv trailer is 5ft wide, 50" no brainer for me..rmrmrber to wear your hearing protection..

Hey thanks for watching. I used hammydowns for years until I got the 50” lawn tractor. Then the zero after zero wondered what took me so long. Lol
You can also remove the plastic seat bumpers and replace with 3 inch motorcycle seat springs barrel type. Much more comfortable.

@@sneezeacres5240 I did couple videos also on my unit.
Nice video, I think we have finally decided on getting the cub. Should be picking it up tomorrow. Excited to get mowing with it.
I love mine. Hope you have the same experience. Let me know if you have any questions and want to know what you think of it after you mow couple times
Don't you change the oil filter also?
I do but that’s not in this video. This one’s a review only. Oil changes in different one
on mine front adjustment rod for deck came loose, deck came way out of level. outer nut came off, no biggie, really like mine 👍
Good to know.. thank you for giving us a heads up..
June 2022 purchase is going strong maintenance is easy yes motorcycle springs under seat are more forgiving. I am happy with.
Hoping to start a Lawn Care Business using this Lawn Mower, all the reviews seem very positive and helpful. Thank You
Good luck to you and your new business!

@@andyslawnsheretoserveyou2041привет, какие у нее проблемные места?
Italian Saying BONA UGO. Piece of Rottame..
Some people can tare up anything and hird hands are the worst and will put you out of business fast
Take what you can do and you’ll be better off
42 hours on mine , nothing but trouble , been to dealer twice , warranty worthless!
Why are the lights on? It's called liability.
Great handles on that mower !!
I usually just spray the heck out of my bagger tube with WD40 every time I empty the bags. Seems to help.
Check out new video on that very thing with different approach lol

Can you just swap out for regular spindles like what I have?
@@sneezeacres5240 Not sure if they will fit. Trying to avoid buying a bunch of spindles that may or may not fit. Just don't want the "S" blades.
I love mine…❤
Yep most do I believe
Thanks for watching
Nice man! Your rig is really clean. 👍
Thank you. And for watching
What is a rig?

turning lights off may overcharge the battery????m

Everyone on yt reviewing this model appears only to use it in the most light duty manor

Do yourself a favor, and spend a little bit more money and buy the Altima ZT2 or ZT3
Well I haven’t had any issues with this in the 4 years so…. It mowed circle around my neighbors bad boy mower and mows smoother too
Also might add this is my experience with this mower BUT I take exceptionally good care of all my equipment so that can play into anything one buys and owns.
where did you get the wing nuts and what size??
Ace hardware. Your talking for the front weight or catcher bag. Either way math wing up to the bolts your using
Great 👍🏽 review!
Glad you liked it!
People in Home Depot reviews are saying the new models don’t come with an hour meter? Is this true?
I have no idea. I bought at tsc when I got mine if that’s true that’s really dumb idea. IMO.
@@sneezeacres5240 just looked on a local dealer website, shows it in fact does not come with a hour meter. It’s not a deal breaker but is annoying for the price you pay.
There are vids about adding one. Their not that expensive.
@@sneezeacres5240 yea I just seen that, not too bad to install.

Great vid but I don't understand why you would ever need to turn the lights off.
Point is why do you want them on when 99.9 % of time your mowing in the daylight.
Does yours have the excessive vibrating that everyone seems to be concerned with on the ZT1?
No I haven’t had that issue it has to be a adjustment out or something simple.
