Default ULTIMA ZT1 50" blade question
I just got a new Ultima ZT1 50" ride on mower. I got under and looked to see if I have star or s blades and can't tell without taking off the blade. The bolt blocks the area so I assume it is a star. If it was S couldn't I see that? I don't want to have to take the blade off just to see what I have unless I have to. I will be adding mulching blades to run year round.

Any suggestions or ideas on finding out if its star or S blades?

Love the mower on my 4 acres.

Thanks in advance.

Tom

Welcome to Only Cub Cadets Tom.

I tired looking on eBay and it lists both blade types for your mower. You can take your model number and serial number and look it up on Cub Cadets part site.
I probably would just take one off and see, just to remove all doubt.

Thank you. This all seems crazy to me....lol I am sure there is a reason but it would be nice if this was standardized.

The S shaped blades on my SLX50 XT2 are for the quick attach blades.
Nice idea, but the grass and dirt gets up around the piece you push down to be able to turn the blade. Usually remove the deck scrape the stuff off of the shoulder of the quick attach and smack with a hammer a few times to change the blades. Great concept, not a good idea. Definitely not faster than zipping a bolt out with an impact.

Thank you

My suspicion is that I will see the ones setup on the mower are star. The mulching kit and extra blades provided to me are S....Gonna have to return the S for the Star is my guess. Will take the blade off today or tomorrow and take a look.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
