Kubota ZD Series Zero-turn Mowers

Engine and Transmission

With over 25 million engines produced since 1922, Kubota engines are recognized around the world for their proven quality and reliability. Powerful yet clean and quiet, the ZD Series’ rugged diesel engines give you unparalleled performance, productivity, and economy.

The ZD Series’ dependable engines let you power through tough mowing jobs with ease and efficiency. These technically advanced engines are also environmentally friendly, thanks to excellent fuel economy, enhanced combustion efficiency, and low vibration and noise levels.

Kubota’s original hydrostatic transmission offers faster, smoother response under all loading conditions. Except for an occasional fluid change, the hermetically-sealed structure requires no maintenance and has no belts to change.

Mower Deck

Aerodynamic Cutting System (ACS) pro deck is designed to maximise cutting performance with smoother airflow and more powerful rotation. The airflow inside the deck has been optimized for faster, more efficient cutting and discharge by preventing clippings from clumping, sticking to the walls of the deck, and recirculating to be cut again. The improved airflow also results in reduced power consumption, better work efficiency, and increased fuel efficiency.

Without drive belts and pulleys, the drive shaft smoothly transfers power from the engine to the deck. Shaft drive also requires less maintenance and provides greater dependability.

A 2-pedal hydraulic deck lift system keeps you mowing in spite of obstacles by letting you easily raise and lower the deck with your foot.

Choose from two front-axle setups to optimize mowing comfort and performance: adjustable for a smooth ride, or rigid for an even cut while mowing on rough terrain

Comfort and Safety

A more comfortable seat means less operator fatigue and greater productivity. With dual adjustable armrests, higher backrest, and lumbar support, the ZD Series’ fully padded and reclining bucket seat ensures a high level of comfort. The seat can be adjusted upward, forward and backward to let operators of all body types find the perfect position.

The large LCD meter—the biggest in its class—shows all of the key indicators you need to maximize cutting performance and operability, including engine oil pressure gauge, water temperature gauge, fuel level, and voltmeter.

For faster operation and better ergonomics, all of the mower deck controls are grouped on the right side within easy reach of your right hand, letting you quickly and easily adjust the cutting height.

The ROPS conveniently folds for easier storage and transportation of the mower.

Pro Features

The ZD Series is designed to keep you on the job longer between maintenance stops. When maintenance is needed however, you can be assured of quick and easy maintenance of all the critical parts and functions. The engine hood protects the engine, yet is simple to open and offers easy access to the engine for maintenance tasks.

A special maintenance hatch under the platform mat provides fast access to the upper mower, mower belt, gearbox case, universal joint and oil filter.

Routine maintenance underneath the mower is quick and simple, thanks to Kubota’s innovative two-pin, tilt-up maintenance lift. A simple operation raises the front of the ZD Series even with the mower deck still attached.
