Kubota ZD-Series Zero-Turn Mowers

Kubota Diesel Engines Kubota diesel engines are known for their durability, high performance, energy efficiency, and reliability. Kubota diesels offer many advantages over gasoline engines: as much as 30% more fuel efficiency, higher torque, fewer emission, and quieter operation, among others. Kubota engines can aggressively take on heavy mowing jobs for extended periods. And, whether it is our 21, 26 or 31 horsepower engine, it will exceed the high expectations of the commercial landscaper.		Safety Start System Talk about covering your back, our Safety Start System will only allow the engine to start when the driver is seated, the parking brake is engaged, the PTO is in neutral and the neutral lock is engaged.
	Moreover, if the driver leaves his seat for any reason, the engine will automatically shut down.

Dual-Element Air Cleaner		Large Fuel Tank
Kubota ZD-300 series mowers come equipped with a dual-element air cleaner which features a vacuum sensor to monitor intake and help prevent clogging. This makes it easy to keep the mower clean and running smoothly. Large Radiator The radiator on the ZD-300 mower is built to improve cooling performance and prevent the engine from overheating.		Kubota has increased the fuel capacity for the ZD-300 series to 11.9 gallons by including two fuel tanks. This allows the operator to work longer and more efficiently without stopping to refuel. This feature is especially handy for those big jobs.

Durability
The ZD-300 series is extremely reliable, thanks in no small part to the new Kubota integral-type HST transmission system. It's designed with strong components and the high capacity an HST system needs to assure outstanding commercial mowing performance and productivity.

Durability		PTO Clutch
Kubota's HST transmission system is comprised of high-strength components for exceptional durability. With a copper metal cylinder block, a stronger rear tire axle, and a sturdy, lightweight casting axle cover, the HST system is designed and built to last a long time.		Thanks to a wear-resistant, wet-type, multi-disk, hydraulic PTO clutch, the machine will work longer, but not harder. That's because it smoothly transfers power with maximum efficiency. For safety, the PTO clutch is also equipped with an internal brake, which stops the mower blades quickly after disengagement.

Semi-Pneumatic (Flat-Free) Front Caster Tires		Shaft Drive
(Standard with ZD326/331 models) The ZD-300's flat-free caster tires were specifically designed to absorb impacts with the rigidity of their structural thickness. This feature enables mowing operations to continue without the worry of downtime from flat tires.		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.

Comfort
The ZD-300 series brings comfort to the workplace. Kubota's development team has created a mower loaded with creature comforts. From the deluxe, high-back seat to the ergonomically engineered control panel, the comfortable design and practical convenience of the ZD-300 makes it easier to boost productivity.

High-Back Deluxe Suspension Seat
Outstanding comfort is what you'll feel with Kubota's standard deluxe link-type suspension seat with adjustable armrests. The extra-wide seat features weight adjustment, adjustable armrests, and much more to give the operator a custom fit.

Lumbar Support
A day of hard work won't be hard on your back. Thanks to the 3-position lumbar support offered by the zD-300, your back will get all the support it needs.
Suspension Seat Adjustment Lever
There's no need to get up to make changes to your seat's suspension strength - you simply reach down in front of you and pull a convenient lever to make adjustments while you're working.
Reclining Dial
Lean back and get to work in the ZD-300's reclining seat. Just reach to the side and turn the handy reclining dial to adjust your seat to the perfect position.

Panel	Parking Brake (Hands-free)	Full-Flat Operator Platform
With a new, ergonomically angled control panel, you'll have an improved view of and easier access to the controls and indicators, including speed controls, fuel and oil gauges, the all-new 1/4" cutting height adjustment dial, the locking PTO lever and more.	Parking you mower doesn't need to be a multi-step process. With the ZD-300, you don't need separate levers or special switches; you only need to depress a simple pedal. It's conveniently placed directly in front of you on the angled footboard for easy access.	The wider, full-flat deck offers more legroom and improved comfort. With no humps to straddle, your feet can remain free of obstacles.

Maintenance
Kubota has made maintenance of the ZD-300 unbelievably simple. Thanks to a unique maintenance lift system, a tilt-up seat for quick and thorough access to the HST, and a new maintenance hatch on the full-flat platform for easy access to the PTO shaft, work can be completed on every key component without difficulty.

Maintenance Lift

For routine maintenance underneath the mower, Kubota's unique two-pin, tilt-up, lift feature allows the front of the ZD-300 to be easily raised without having to remove the mid-mount mower. The system includes locks for the front tires to ensure safety. It's like having a built-in jack right there when you need it.

Radiator Screen		Air Cleaner Indicator
Kubota has now integrated the radiator screen into the hood for better sealing performance and less likelihood of grass clippings finding their way inside the screen.		The ZD-300 features an air cleaner indicator that indicates when it's time to change or clean the filter, and help maintain maximum airflow capacity.

Engine Coolant Alert		Tie Down
The ZD-300 emits a warning alert to indicate when engine coolant temperatures run too high. It's another practical feature that helps keep this commercial mower running smoothly.		This strong and durable tie down is ideal for securing and loading the ZD-300 onto a flatbed truck, making transportation a breeze.

Mower Deck
You're a professional, and your equipment should meet your high, exacting standards. This is why the ZD-300 zero-turn mowers are equipped with the kink of powerful, rugged, commercial-grade mower deck you want and your business demands. It's everything you need to reach a higher level of performance.

	Deep Mower Deck Kubota's extra-deep, 6.5-inch (6" on 54" deck), fabricated mower deck design allows for faster cutting - even in tall, thick, and wet grass. The discharge chute is 27% wider, to dispense clippings more evenly across the ground.
	Swivel Anti-scalp Rollers To prevent unsightly turf damage, we've equipped the 72" and 60" mower decks with independently functioning anti-scalp rollers that rotate a full 360 degrees.

New Blade		Spindle Bearings and Pulleys
The ZD-300 features a new blade design that generates an ideal vacuum and straightens grass during cutting. Combined with a deep mower deck for expanded clipping capacity, the new blade provides a higher quality, beautiful-looking cut.		Kubota has improved the durability of the mower pulley holder bearings to provide maximum strength and support.

Hands-Free Hydraulic Deck Lift
Kubota's advanced hydraulic deck lift pedal system allows the operator to easily raise and lower the deck with foot pedals, so easy access and quick response is never a problem.
Large-Diameter Rear Tires
The ZD-300 features large-diameter, sturdy rear tires for improved stability, durability and handling. The ZD331, ZD326 and the ZD321 with 60" mower deck come standard with big 26x120-12 tires, while the ZD321 with 54" mower deck is equipped with 26x10.5-12 tires.

1/4" Increment Cutting Height Adjustment		Mower Lift Link
Cutting height can be easily changed, from 1" to 5" in 1/4" increments, with the 1/4" adjustment dial. Located conveniently on the control panel, the adjustment dial is easily accessed to increase or decrease cutting height.		The ZD-300 mowers feature stronger lift link components, including an enhanced lift shaft, a thicker lift arm, and a wider shaft diameter.
