Mower test & Review of the Cub cadet Pro z 972 sd (aka the Billy Goat)

What happens here

The mower features dual fuel tanks with a combined capacity of just under 15 gallons, designed to distribute weight evenly for balance. These tanks are dual-feed, meaning both can be open simultaneously for consistent fuel flow, or one can be shut off to act as a reserve. A full air-ride seat with thick padding and a high back is standard, incorporating an air compressor to adjust cushioning for operator comfort. Iso-mounts are also present under the seat to further dampen vibrations and improve ride quality.

Goal: Understand the fuel system and advanced operator comfort features.

builtin stripe. Oh, wow. Okay. Dual fuel tanks. I mean, that's for balance, right? It is a little bit for balance. Yeah, this these fuel tanks will hold just shy of 15 gallons. They are dual feed though. Okay. So, we have valves set up on this on this uh tank setup. You can do it either way if you want to dual feed this tank. So it gets a little bit of an even flow on it. You can just open both of these valves up. If you want to mow and have some reserve, you simply shut one off. So you can kind of uh keep control of your fuel that way. This is a full airride seat. Very thick padding, very high back air. Airride. So there's actually an air compressor in this seat. As you can see, if you listen very closely, you'll hear it kick in. Is that standard? that's standard on this unit. And then those same ISO mounts that we talked about on the front end, we actually have on the seat. So you've got some ISO mounts right here on the seat. Y that are going to isolate some of that vibration. So your suspension on the seat's going to give you good movement up and down, but then those ISO mounts are going to give you good control side to side. So there's one last thing I want to show you. So usually when you get a lot more stuck, you do one of two things. you get underneath the unit, crack the valve loose on the transmission, pull it out in a proper manner so you don't damage the transmissions. But a lot of times we're in a hurry. We don't want to get in the mud and crack that valve loose. So we'll hook a tow strap up to the front of the unit onto another mower or
