Product Description
Cub Cadet PRO Z 972SD EFI 72-Inch Commercial Zero-Turn Mower
The Cub Cadet PRO Z 972SD EFI is a heavy-duty commercial zero-turn mower built for demanding properties, professional crews, and challenging terrain. This unit features a 72-inch triple 7-gauge fabricated steel cutting deck with top, bottom, and side reinforcements for long-lasting durability.
Powered by a 38.5 HP Kawasaki FX1000V EFI engine and paired with a 16cc Hydro-Gear 5400 transmission, the PRO Z 972SD EFI delivers strong performance, smooth operation, and reliable power. Cub Cadet’s Synchro-Steer steering wheel control technology provides added confidence and control, especially on slopes up to 25 degrees or 46% grade.
Dual rear wheels, weighted front rims, electronic power steering, electronic power deck lift, and maintenance-free spindles make this mower a serious option for commercial mowing and steep-slope applications.
