Tough lawn tractors, agile zero-turns and serious mowing performance — backed by local advice, setup and servicing from STIHL SHOP Te Awamutu.
Local dealer support for Cub Cadet lawn tractors and zero-turn mowers.
Options for residential lawns, lifestyle blocks and demanding larger properties.
Servicing, maintenance and repair support from our workshop at 424 Ohaupo Road.
Powerful engines, strong cutting decks and comfortable machines designed to cover ground efficiently.
When there’s a lot of grass to mow, the right machine can make a big difference.
Cub Cadet builds lawn tractors and zero-turn mowers around the things that matter on larger properties: strong engines, durable cutting decks, responsive handling and operator comfort.
The range gives you plenty of choice too.
Go with a conventional lawn tractor for familiar steering and all-round mowing, choose a dedicated catching tractor when a clean finish matters, or step into a zero-turn when speed and manoeuvrability are the priority.
At STIHL SHOP Te Awamutu, we’ll help you choose based on your property rather than simply pointing you toward the biggest mower in the showroom.
Tell us how much you’re mowing, what the terrain is like and what you want your next mower to do better.
From tough pressed-steel decks through to heavy-duty fabricated designs, Cub Cadet offers cutting systems built for regular mowing across larger properties.
Selected Cub Cadet models use Kawasaki V-Twin engines to provide dependable power for longer grass and bigger mowing areas.
Tight-turning lawn tractors and true zero-turn models make it easier to work around trees, gardens and other obstacles.
High-back seating, hydrostatic drive systems and thoughtfully positioned controls make longer mowing sessions easier on the operator.
From versatile lawn tractors to high-capacity catching and zero-turn machines, these four models cover very different mowing requirements.
The right choice depends on your property, terrain, access, desired finish and how much time you spend mowing.
A strong all-round lawn tractor for larger residential sections and lifestyle properties, combining straightforward steering, a tight turning radius and dependable Kawasaki power.
The dedicated catching option for larger lawns and lifestyle blocks — powerful, comfortable and designed to collect clippings as you mow for a clean, tidy finish.
A compact true zero-turn for larger residential lawns where manoeuvrability matters, with a fabricated deck and responsive lap-bar control for efficient mowing around obstacles.
A serious step up for larger properties and demanding workloads, combining a commercial-grade 48-inch fabricated deck, heavier-duty drive system and high levels of operator comfort.
Specifications shown are indicative of the current New Zealand models and may change between model years. We’ll confirm current specifications, availability and pricing when you enquire — and if another mower better suits your property, we’ll tell you.
Specifications can tell you how wide the deck is and what’s under the bonnet.
They can’t tell you how the mower feels to drive on your property.
Talk to our team about comparing Cub Cadet models and arranging a demonstration where available. We’ll help you look at the things that actually matter — access, terrain, obstacles, cutting width, comfort and how much mowing you need to get through.

Tell us a little about your property and we’ll help narrow down the options.
What customers commonly want to know before choosing between a Cub Cadet lawn tractor and zero-turn.
It comes down to how your property is laid out and what matters most to you.
A lawn tractor gives you familiar steering and is a strong general-purpose option for larger lawns. The XT2 1023 also gives you integrated grass collection if catching is important.
A zero-turn such as the Z2 42 or ZTX5 48 offers much tighter manoeuvrability and can save considerable time where you have a larger area or plenty of trees, gardens and obstacles.
Tell us about the property and we’ll help you compare both.
Both are 42-inch lawn tractors, but they’re designed around different priorities.
The XT1 18/42 is a versatile side-discharge lawn tractor with an 18HP Kawasaki engine and hydrostatic transmission.
The XT2 1023 steps up to a 21.5HP Kawasaki engine and incorporates a large 320-litre rear catcher, making it the stronger choice where collecting clippings and leaving a tidy finish are priorities.
A wider deck isn’t automatically better.
A 48-inch mower such as the ZTX5 48 can cover open areas with fewer passes, while the 42-inch Z2 is easier to fit through tighter access and can make sense on more landscaped properties.
Start with your narrowest gateway, the amount of open mowing area and how many obstacles you work around.
That depends on what the block actually looks like.
For open general mowing, the XT1 can be an excellent straightforward option. If catching is important, look at the XT2 1023. For properties with lots of obstacles or where reducing mowing time is the priority, a Z2 42 or larger zero-turn may make more sense.
Terrain is just as important as total land area, so talk to us before making the decision.
Suitability depends on the exact mower, slope and ground conditions.
Current NZ specifications for these models set maximum slope limits, but that shouldn’t be treated as a target operating angle. If your property has banks or significant slopes, show us the terrain and we’ll help you determine which machine is appropriate.
Yes. That’s one of the advantages of buying through STIHL SHOP Te Awamutu.
Our workshop can provide servicing, maintenance and repair support for suitable Cub Cadet mowers, so you have local backup after the machine leaves the showroom.
Talk to us about the mower you currently own when you’re considering a Cub Cadet.
We can assess the machine and discuss the options available as part of your upgrade.
Come in and compare the range, or talk to our team about what you’re mowing and what you need your next machine to do.
