Good Product, Bad Service!
By Vincent G.

Purchased 05/18/2016 |
Review Posted 12/07/2018
I have nothing negative to say regarding the product however, the product arrived missing a protective cap for one of the front wheels. I called customer svc numerous times to get the cap sent to me but my efforts proved to be futile. Between the mower, pressure washer and mower lift, I'd just spent over $3800.00 and for whatever reason, they couldn't manage to send me the missing plastic cap. That was spring of 2016. I haven't been a customer since.

Has 2 Hours & Now Won’t Start. I’m Contacting Mowers Direct
By Robert S.

Purchased 09/03/2018 |
Review Posted 11/11/2018
Won’t start after 2 hours. Also, I noticed from the first attempt to start it had trouble. Not sure what issue is. Hopefully Mowers Direct will fix the problem with no issues.

Expert Response
Thank you for taking the time to follow-up on your experiences with your new Cub Cadet Zero Turn and we are sorry to hear about the unfortunate circumstances.
From the sounds of it, it may be as simple as checking the spark plug and air filter. Often, the spark plug is poorly adjusted and not entirely connected when new, so please make sure to check the plug and that it’s nice and snug. Also, if you have a spark plug gauge, measure the gap to ensure it’s adjusted to your Owner’s Manual. Additionally, we encourage you to check the air filter to ensure that it’s properly intact as a dislodged air filter will cause startup issues.
If it’s not an air filter or spark plug issue, we suggest giving Cub Cadet a call at 1-(877)-428-2349 for additional remote troubleshooting. They will be able to determine if it’s appropriate to take your machine into a service center under warranty.
Unfortunately, we don't see anything in your order notes about reaching out to us for remote troubleshooting, however, your business is greatly appreciated and we are always available to help if you would like to contact us directly for help.

I’m extremely impressed and satisfied with this purchase. I would highly recommend this site for your mower needs. I did experience missing hardware from my order but I called and they sent me out more than enough replacement hardware.

Perfect Right Out Of The Box!

The mower went right to work on an overgrown lawn. Thanks to the standard high lift blades it did not leave wheel tracks or grass clumps on the finished job.

Good Mower For Price
By Trevor L.
Sunman, Indiana
Purchased 09/03/2018 |
Review Posted 10/05/2018
Perfect size for a 1 to 3-acre lot. It's not an oversized deck that causes an extremely bumpy ride and its still big enough to not take all day. It shaves about 30 minutes of time off compared to my riding Cub Cadet. I'd recommend this to someone who's never owned a zero turn before.

Great Mower

Review Posted 08/15/2018
I like this mower. Especially like the steering on it. Mower cutting time has been cut by hours- I have a large lot. I only run it at about 3/4 speed and still get done fast. Real good lawn mower, so far. The blades don't last, only got two cuttings out of the blades.

Gets The Job Done!

Review Posted 08/06/2018
I bought the RZT L54 to tackle 4 acres of manicured lawn with a steep hill in the backyard and 67 hardwood trees to mow around. I also purchased the mulching kit. Before using this mower, I had a Cub garden tractor with a steering wheel that was really difficult on the shoulders. The RZT L54 gets the entire job done inside of 2 hours whereas it was closer to 3.5 hours before.
I’ve read that several others were disappointed in the fuel economy, however, I fill mine up with 93 ethanol free and have enough gas in the tank to get my entire property done. Overall, this zero turn has met all of my expectations. I have been using it weekly for the last 4 months and it hasn’t lost any of the performance that it had on the first pass. As far as delivery, I wound up having to pick mine up at the distribution center, for fear that I wouldn’t be available for the scheduled delivery- didn’t want to leave it at the end of the driveway and risk someone stealing it. I
It comes crated up and I read that the trucks used are semis with a standard dry cam on the back - I live at the end of an oil top road in a cup-de-sac, so didn’t figure that the truck would be able to make it down my driveway to drop off inside my shop. Unboxing this mower is made much easier with the help of a Sawzall, just cut the crate out from around the mower and roll it off the back. Hope this info helps!
