Attached is a picture of my Z-Force S commercial with a 48 inch deck and recently added sun canopy. I bought the machine in May and posted a brief review about it in the Cub Cadet L& G forum. One thing I didn't mention in that post was, I wasn't sure Cub Cadet could build a sturdy machine but, after watching it mow a 5 acre picnic grounds last year, which has some terrain like mine (hilly & rough) I was convinced it could handle my 3.5 acres with no problem and it has.
Another thing that impressed me was how well it performed after I found out who operated it. Initially, I thought there was one or two guys who mowed the grounds but was told by a member, being they're a volunteer organization, multiple folks use the Z-force S. He said some of them respect the machine and some don't and the ones who don't really used the Z-Force S to the max last year. But, it held up and didn't need anything other than the foot pedal repaired which was fixed by the dealer at no cost.
He said the JD zero turn they used to have cost them a bundle to fix each year before the mowing season started. He said so far, they're very pleased with the Z-force S and would recommend it to anyone thinking about buying one.
