Designed to offer maximum support and comfort, you'll work longer
and with less fatigue when riding on our standard deluxe, link-type
suspension seat with armrests.
HYDRAULIC LIFT AND CUTTING ADJUSTMENT
DIAL
The mid-mount mower is easily raised and lowered hydraulically,
while cutting height is adjusted quickly with just a twist of the
height adjustment dial. Both controls are within easy reach from
the driver's seat.
Whether it's a hot cup of coffee or an ice-cold beverage,
the essential cup holder lets you bring along either one.
TILT-UP MECHANISM
The industry's first. Kubota's unique tilt-up feature allows the
front of the ZD-Series to be easily raised to perform periodic maintenance
without having to remove the mid-mount mower. It's like having a
built-in jack right there when you need it.
A quick-adjusting, foldable Roll-Over Protective Structure
comes standard. It may be folded from 180º to 90º
without tools, and allows you to pass under areas with height
constraints. It's the perfect size for easy garage storage.
TRANSMISSION
Superior durability of the entire driveline was of utmost importance
when we decided to incorporate an integral-type, twin hydrostatic
transmission as part of the ZD-Series. The hermetically sealed structure
(hydrostat and final drive) requires no maintenance except for an
occasional fluid change. And no belt replacement is necessary.
To reduce downtime, the ZD-Series is equipped with a wear-resistant,
wet-type, multi-disk PTO clutch that allows you to work longer,
but not harder. With unsurpassed durability, it will smoothly
transfer power with absolute efficiency. For safety, the PTO
clutch is also equipped with an internal brake, which can
stop the mower blades just seconds after disengagement.
CONTROL PANEL AND LEVERS
For convenience, the operator's control panel with throttle, PTO
lever, hydraulic lift lever, hour meter, and start switch are all
located to the right of the operator, within easy reach.
The amazingly durable and fuel-efficient, water-cooled diesel
engines on our ZD-Series exceed the high expectations of professional
users by being able to take on heavy mowing jobs for extended
periods. No matter which horsepower you choose - 18, 21, 25
or 28 - these engines are all built for the long haul.
FULL-OPEN HOOD EASY MAINTENANCE
For enhanced maintenance, the full-open hood provides easier access
to the engine and its vital components.
With operator safety in mind, we've designed a safety
start system that will only allow the engine to be started
when the operator is seated, the parking brake engaged, the
PTO is in neutral and the neutral lock is engaged. If, at
any time while the engine is running you leave your seat,
the engine will automatically shut down. So when the unexpected
happens, you'll be protected.
DURABLE MOWER (ZD18F)
We've increased the durability of our 54" low-noise, mid-mount
mower by adding a multi-belt system that includes cast-iron pulleys.
This system is shaft driven and is currently being used on other
Kubota commercial mowers. To reduce operator fatigue and to make
your job more enjoyable, it has reduced noise levels to a minimum
while still delivering a high quality cut.
(for ZD21F and ZD28F, see ZD-PRO Mower Deck).
Time is money, and you'll make more of it, thanks to
our new fabricated mower deck. The fabricated design allows
you to cut faster—even in tall, thick, wet grass—with
our extra-deep 5.5" deck.
SHAFT DRIVE
No belts. No pulleys. The direct transfer of power from our shaft
drive is smooth. Plus, our shaft drive's low-maintenance operation
makes it the most dependable choice.
To prevent unsightly turf damage, we equipped our mower deck
with two independently functioning, anti-scalp rollers that
rotate a full 360 degrees.
7-GAUGE STEEL MOWER DECK
Thanks to our mower deck's fabricated design—which allowed
us to construct it from heavy-duty, 7-gauge (4.5mm thick) steel—it
also offers incredible strength and durability. It's high-grade,
commercial caliber, all the way!
For a higher quality cut and enhanced performance, we equipped
our ZD-PRO zero-turn mowers with sharper blades that hold
their edges longer.
EASY-TO-ATTACH/DETACH MULCHING KIT (OPTIONAL)
Not satisfied with your mulching results? Then our pro mulching
system was made for you. Made from thick, strong, 10-gauge steel,
our high-performance, dedicated mulching system produces super-fine
mulch. Plus, it lets you mow faster while using less power.
Forged from high quality steel, our mulching blades are incredibly
sharp and hold their edges longer.
FLAT MOWER DECK
Faster cutting is nothing if it doesn't look great. That's
why, to ensure a superior cutting performance even at faster speeds,
our mower deck utilizes both a flat design and our new baffling
system, which forces grass through all 3 cutting blades as opposed
to just one.
Patent pending baffle design ensures grass of being repeatedly
cut before flowing into the second blade.
Unique baffling when forces grass clippings into the second
and third blade, where it will be cut and re-cut before being
evenly discharge.
A smaller discharge opening forces grass to be re-cut by the
third blade prior to final discharge.
