The operator sets the preliminary cut line, and the PRO Z SurePath units will perform straight cutting paths with an auto-zero-turn at the end of each pass. By utilizing high-precision GPS technology, SurePath Auto Steer reduces overlap and cuts perfect stripes, allowing the operator to complete a property in less time while producing superior cut quality.
“SurePath Auto Steer technology is the ultimate efficiency tool,” said Josh Sooy, director, professional business management, Cub Cadet. “In addition to greater overall productivity and efficiency for landscaping businesses, SurePath Auto Steer technology lowers the risk of turf damage and unhappy customers and enables even the most inexperienced operators to quickly rival and even surpass the speed and cut quality of experienced landscaping professionals.”
Post-pandemic labor shortages have been particularly challenging for landscaping businesses. The semiautonomous nature of the Auto Steer technology, every single operator — from new hires to skilled operators — can deliver consistent quality cuts and efficient operation when using a PRO Z SurePath unit.
Built on the trusted PRO Z 960 S and PRO Z 972 S platforms, the SurePath units are outfitted with 16CC transmissions, 26-inch rear tires and a high-performance FX1000v Kawasaki engine, and are backed by a three-year, no-hour-limit warranty or a five-year 1,750-hour limited deck warranty.
Cub Cadet PRO Series PRO Z 960 S and 972 S SurePath units will be available at dealers in select markets starting in Spring 2022.
