Top to bottom, front to back, and inside and out, Kubota’s new ZD Series of zero-turn mowers are engineered for quality. Built in the United States, these premium mowers incorporate the best of Kubota’s advanced technology in every detail and function to ensure both superior mowing performance and supreme operator comfort. No matter how you measure quality, the ZD Series delivers.

Choose between five models across the ZD commercial series, ranging from 19HP with a 54″ deck to a 29HP machine with a 72″ deck.

Kubota ACS (Aerodynamic Cutting System)

Improved air flow. 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.

New spindle shaft. New larger durable spindle shaft creates a better airflow inside the deck. It is also more durable.

Improved work efficiency. An improved airflow ensures better cutting efficiency. That means you can get the job done faster and with up to 27% better work performance.

Operator Comfort

New suspension seat 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 that will keep them comfortable and productive all day long.

New large and bright LCD panel (ZD1200 only). 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. A new hour meter lets the operator know when maintenance or service is required.

New, thicker platform mat. Thicker and more durable, the redesigned platform mat also helps reduce noise and vibration for more comfort during mowing tasks. The mat’s grip pattern also has been improved to make getting on and off the mower easier than before.

New and bigger storage box and cup holder. Store personal items as well as two beverage cups in the handy storage box and cup holder beside the seat.

Hydraulic deck lift. 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.

Outstanding stability. The ZD Series’ feature a low center of gravity to help improve the weight/balance and provides stability on slopes and uneven ground. When combined with the ZD Series’ long wheelbase wide, large-diameter rear tires, and fuel tanks mounted above the tires and below the seat, the result is outstanding stability on a variety of terrains.

Safety & Maintenance

Easy mower and engine access. 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

New foldable ROPS. The new ROPS is now compliant with not only OSHA standards, but also ISO standards. The ROPS conveniently folds for easier storage and transportation of the mower.

Maintenance lift. 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
