The original mower belt on my 1989 Gravely tractor, only lasted 30 years with use 9 months out of every year.
The Kubotas look well built and simple.
Equals less headaches!

Bought one of these to cut commercial properties all day, it’s incredible.

I just picked up a 421/54". These things are built like a tank with the typical Kubota quality. And you're right on the blades, about twice as thick and heavy as my old mower. Nice video

I bought the z411 3 years ago, very fine mower...

I like the 24hp Kawasaki and the zt3600 hydros.

Like to see your stand on mowers, and great job showing and telling. Yes I’ve been thinking to go with a stand on, hair oldest son buys a stand on from y’all. And I am thinking to go with a stand on, I have never had a zero turn mower. But I have tried the set down zero turn for a 4 or 5 minutes first one a cub cadet then dads toro then bad boy. But never a stand on I like working my legs much has I can, so show some good deals on them stand on mowers. I need a change from riding on mowers that you set on cause I feel tired more setting, so fix me up on a stand on.well thanks again for showing telling and we will see you next time have a great day see ya bye.

A simple thing to make this a quieter mower is to put a rubber mat over the foot platform. Makes a huge difference.

Nice intro to the 422 series. I'm waiting for stock to arrive and ready to purchase.

Thanks for the vids on the z200 and z400 mowers.

First thing I did is remove the shute spring and attach a cord to flip it up to get past tight places.
Second, the deck had a harmonic vibration. The belt tensioner setup has too much play. It wobbles up and down and made a hell of a racket. I removed the pivot bush and filed a bee's width off it's height. Lubricated the pivot and bolted down. Now it's firmer, but still moves but only in direction it should and alot less noise and vibration.

These 400 series mowers have pros and cons. They are probably not what you want for commercial mowing…just not heavy duty enough. I use mine that way, but only part time. The frame flexes, the mower deck gauge wheels are not well supported and will bend and wear out; the Kawasaki FS engines are OK but don’t have a great air filtration system; the seat looks nice but has zero suspension without the added option. On the positive side, it’s relatively quick for a low end transaxle, and the deck and parking brake operation is great. The phone holder works well. The “low profile” tires do better on side hills, combined with the fuel tank below the seat. The sight glass fuel gauge isn’t ideal but better than nothing. The blades are durable, but the spindles are not. I’ve replaced two bearings already with only 350 hours on the machine. Cut quality is good, but the high lift style blades generate a ton of dust. The deck height adjustment system is terrible, just like on the small Kubota tractors with belly mowers. The knob steps easily get clogged with debris and it won’t turn. So I like it? Yes, and it’s worth considering that it’s half the money of a full commercial unit. See Z700 series for an upgrade although it looks like they have the same chassis.

I’m seriously considering pulling the trigger on a Z412.

[carlhunt]

I have a kobota 412 seems it leaves a strip not at times. And back fires in reverse and one going forward. Like the machine

[KUBBI]

I can afford kubota tractor but not zero turn lol! Orange look hot!

[dwightandrews]

good video just bought one learned something new about it.

[bman]

For the $6k I paid for mine, I’m a bit disappointed that there’s no fuel gauge… I think Kubota gets a bit cheap on their control panels because I also have their RTV (utility vehicle) and that also does not have a fuel gauge and I paid 9K for that unit….

[cenzofrisina]

great review ! I've got a 422 54 inch in Australia, the largest deck size is the 54 inch which is a shame. the 60 would be have been my first choice. i may go for another brand which us a shame because I really like kubota .

[dwoodog]

I was hoping you'd cover what the difference between the KW and KWT was. But good review.
