Kubota zero turn mower review - Z122R 42 

when you check the oil, Don't screw the dipstick down to get the correct oil reading. says so in the owners manual and on the dipstick itself. Cheers!

I’ve been looking for a new zero turn. This has to be one of the best reviews I’ve seen. Well done keep up the great work.

Excellent little user guide! I’m just waiting for mine to be delivered!!

Bought my first riding lawnmower (Kubota) and this was so incredibly helpful. Thank you!

Outstanding review on kubota 0 turn 42 inch mower

Good morning family. Thank you very much for the valuable information and for your time 🙏

Great review!!! Everything you need to know in just few min..

Awesome! Just bought it used and I love it! Thank you for the help!

Best time saving thing I ever bought.

Excellent review. Thanks

Nice review well done!

That looks like a great mower and it have a Kawasaki engine on it. I have both a John Deere, and Cub Cadet and they have that brand engine on them, and I love it. The John Deere is the best though and perform better and is the oldest mower.

Very helpful video 👌

Great comprehensive review Mark. I just bought one and get delivery in two days. Can't wait to try it out and your review makes it look easy to operate as you do with one hand! Looked at several different brands at Lowes for a lot cheaper but they don't appear to be nearly as well made as the Kubota brand. I have a friend who has had his Kubota for over 10 years and cuts 5 acres and has had no problems except to replace a battery from time to time. He said he wouldn't own anything else.

I made mistakes when we first moved into our 7 acre property trying to rely on experience maintaining a small yard, about .5 acres. You get used to spending $400 to $700 on a really good push mower but moving up to a zero turn takes balls of steel. I spent about $5,700 on our ZG127S back in 2014 and at the time that was a massive amount of money to spend on yard equipment. We have 4.5 acres of mowable area and it's got slopes everywhere, including around the pond. There's also an area at the bottom of one of these slopes that is very marshy until July, when the summer heat is able to evaporate the pool of moisture. But usually by this time, I have to use a walk behind bush hog to get it back under control before I can use the zero turn. The slopes are the kryptonite of this machine, pure and simple. It just doesn't have the low center of gravity to stay straight and no brake means I go where the mower takes me. Pulling back on the handles helps a little bit but it really needs to have a brake for slopes. So after 8 seasons and 250 hours later, I moved up to a 726X and it really should have been my 1st pick. If you have a flat yard like in the review, the 200 series (the 100 series are now the 200 series) will be perfectly fine, but if you have hills or slopes, avoid it. Some people have ditches they like to mow the interior sides and this mower will fail you if you try, especially if the ditch has water in it because you are going to either overturn it and drown or you will need to pull it out when you get stuck.

Thank You

Good review, it looks like your in to a little bit of everything just like us .

Im thinking about getting one of these, there is a huge kubota dealer nearby. I was going to go to home depot and buy a cub cadet or toro ztr but after learning that the kubota dealer can repair and get parts quickly I may go that route .

Just bought one today

I bought the Kubota Z411 " 48" about 3 wks ago. Hell of a mower.

I live in the Northern climate where we get pretty good snows in the winter, will it take a snow plow so I can utilize its use all year round?

when you take off the mower, do you hear squeaking noise from the rear wheels? I have Z122 RKW, and I hear an apparent squeaking noise from the both of rear hydro gear transmission or the rear wheels.

How does this compare to a Gravely ZTX, or Hustler Raptor Limited in a residential application? Wondering at what point cost outweighs reality of normal homeownership use.

What is the length of the machine with the front wheels swung back like when its moving forward? Thanks

The 42" has a total width of how much? And does this 42" Kubota have a bag? Thanks in advance.

How well does it lay a stripe?

Is there any way that you can add fluid to the hydrostatic transmission on this unit??

I love my 45 inch Kubota zero turn mower. However, 3 weeks ago I broke the bolt holding one of my blades to sharpen my blades. The bolt breaking was my fault, but I took my deck to the Kubota dealer, they are super folks, Evens Equipement, to get fixed. They told me they would need to change out the gear box where the bolt brokd. That was 3 weeks ago and they are still trying to get the part from Kubota. They also have another mower waiting for parts they can't get, and they still can't tell me when they will get the part. I have to mow every 5 days, and my 3 acres is very hard to mow for a 70 year old man with a walk behind mower in thick grass. If I had known my dealer would have such problems getting parts of this national brand, I probably would have gone with another brand. I really like my dealer but they only handle Kuboa and Sthil products. I am very unhappy right now with Kubota. The dealer sold 3 mowers like mine to people who I knew and told how happy I was with my mower. It is

Mark, nice review. You mentioned a hose to attach to the oil drain. Is this an accessory or something you just have to find like in a hardware store or something? Also, my storage barn only has a 60" high door. Can the roll over protection bar be easily removed and reinstalled? Do you need a lift to change out the blades, i.e., going back and forth between collection/discharge and mulch kit? I see this only has two blades, would it be better to go with the 48" deck to get the three blade system and have some overlap on the cutting path? Do you know how well the collection system works or were you not able to check that particular configuration? Thank you again for the excellent review and thanks in advance for the requested info.

Nice "Overview".. I'm looking for a Review of the product

Are the anti scalp wheels adjustable? I have the 122e it's not here atm so I can't check mine but are the kommander adjustable as. One scrape gauges at 2" and lower

Mark I bought a 2019 Kubota Z122R in an auction. It works great except … It whines when I take corners left or right. PS - What is the overhead bar for? Rollovers? Anything else???

Very nice review, my only complaint is the rops doesn't fold other than that machine looks great

How do I start a z222a zero turn

Does this mower have the safety switch on the seat, so it shuts off when the driver stands up?

I really like that mower, It has everything that I would need and it’s sturdy well built. I like to know the price? Frank

Good mower. It seems to be loud with a slight vibration.

Is there a port to attach a hose to wash under the deck?

Great "overview" of the features, but not a "review" in which you would give your personal opinions of such things as build quality, durability, servicability, warranty, pros and cons, etc.

I don’t like the gas fill being right next to all the controls.

Mark my mower won't move it starts up and was moving 2 days ago now it won't what could it be???

Yours starts better than mine. I've only used mine about 4 times, but it has always taken a long time to start. Today it won't start at all. I think something is wrong with it. Should have tried to start it when it was delivered but didn't do it. That or I should have bought another John Deere.

does it have a hitch? I’d like to get this machine to replace my old lawn tractor mower, but I use it to pull a little trailer to pick up sticks, and a seeder/fertilizer as well.

Do u get many hours out of a full tank

Can you recommend a quality aftermarket rear double bagger for the Z122R. Kubota wants $833!!! 🙄

Can you check oil in transmission

Are these any better built than say a Cub Cadet ZT1? Seams like I would be paying a $1000 more premium for a Kubota. I’m sure the higher end models are better. What’s your take? Great thorough video. Thanks

how do you make blades start cutting

What transmission? Serviceable?

Is this considered a commercial grade?

where is the opening for replacing oil in hydralic linkage

which is better kubota or cub cadet 42 inch or 46

Hi, how much dose this Kubota start at price wise?

Can you buy a 48 " deck and bolt that on?

What's the price of the more

What the price tag on that 42in deck ?

Price?

What does one cost?

For what it's worth, this isn't a "review". This is a overview of the features and operation. A review would contain user experience feedback, service quality feedback, pros and cons, etc. Since you've had it a year now, please come back and provide your thoughts on it now that you've used it. I notice that there is no provision for a hose connection to perform a washout. Is this something you now wish it had?

Any one using these mowers as contractors

traktor mowet KUBOTA RD 85

Great mower BUT DON'T buy a mulching kit for this as they dont cut good at all. Mower is too fast leaves uncut lines. Have to go super slow or cut lawn twice with mulch kit......

I’ve bought and sold a few of these. They are always wore out with low hours. I’d stay away from Kubota low end commercial mowers. Just cheaply made. The bearings on the front wheels and deck wear out way faster than they should. It’s easy to tell they are not made from quality parts. I assume they source them from China

I have the 124.. NOTHING but problems ! JUNK !

RU-vid friends, I NEED YOUR HELP!! Thanks for watching my video. If you enjoyed watching this video please subscribe to my channel. RU-vid has made it tougher for new channels like my self and I need your support more than ever.. Please subscribe and thank you!

I would not recommend this mower. I had this mower for 3 years and their safety switches are horrible and expensive. When you need your mower to start it never does.

Instructional video......not review

Dude!?!? Are you gonna review this ....or show mE how to start it?WTF

Nagyon sok pénz az ára. 🙄😢

Good description, but not a review in any sense

Junk.... 20hrs and wheel motor goes out.

Looks cheap

STAY AWAY FROM THIS MODEL, HYDROSTATIC TRANSMISSION IS NON SERVICEABLE , MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE TO CHANGE THE FLUID WITHOUT TAKING HALF THE MOWER APART!!!!!!

HOW MUCH MONEY THIS IS ?
