Kubota Zero Turn Comparison: The Z726X vs The Z781i

[@reggiemurphy5555]

We have a 781 it’s a awesome machine it just keeps going through tall grass and is fun to operate

[@4rubberzaday]

How’s it cut? Heard they’re similar to the laser Z but everyone saying so doesn’t actually own one

[@earlbaker3996]

Kubota pay once cry once 😢 Kubota is the " Toyota " of small power equipment $$$ 😊

[@LegendLength]

I tried a Toro mx3400 and the throttle would creep back towards 80%. With my Kubota it clicks into place at full throttle, a nice feature.

A FX850V is 27HP not 29. But they are wonderful machines

Seems like they keep replacing the lifting rods or arms or what ever lifts and raises when pedal is pushed down. They never once replaced under warranty because they said it wasn’t covered or due to hitting something. They always have an excuse and I end up paying. I think the dealer is taking me here in Dothan Al. Maybe because I am elderly and handicapped.

[@humphreysoutdoorpower]

You might try another dealership.

[@JimmyT995]

I’m dealing on both now and can’t make up my mind they are 2400$ difference is the EFI that much better For the money ? Is the power difference noticeable? But the efi one does have tweels that’s a costly option so figure 1600$ difference minus the difference in wheels ???

[@humphreysoutdoorpower]

You will notice the power difference in heavy grass, and yes you'll want to consider the cost of the twills. The other questions are subjective, I would ask to demo them if the option is available. The good news is you really can't make a wrong decision. Thank you for watching!

[@CC-ky6ch]

Just get the 422 honestly or go diesel if you need more power

[@triple6758]

I know this won't help you sell new mowers,but maybe some used ones... I am so thankful I bought a lower hour 326P 7 years ago. You can purchase them for half the cost of one of these units. I did buy mine at local Bota dealer. Money well spent.

[@dannybonnette3237]

I have the z726 60 inch mower. I have had nothing but problems with it the 3 years I have owned it. First year I mowed 3 acres. Last two years I mow only 1 acre . My problem is the deck. It cost me hundreds of dollars a year to have them fix it. The pedal gets so hard to push down and adjust. Design problem is my guess. I grease it after every mowing because the dealer told me to do that but it don’t help..

[@humphreysoutdoorpower]

Man, I'm sorry to hear that. We haven't had any issues like that especially on such low acreage. We routinely sell them on 10+ acres or in commercial application with no issue.

[@sullie35]

I'm sorry but I'm a commercial guy and we won't reliability over tech. That management screen is something that is a added failure point.

[@humphreysoutdoorpower]

Usually we would agree, however it has not been a pain point in this model or the ZD1211 diesel which has been out longer. Ultimately time will tell though. Thank you for watching!

[@Efffshams]

The efi will still work jus no screen.

[@leobiggie9216]

You left out the price

[@humphreysoutdoorpower]

That was by design as prices fluctuate from region to region and based on what promotions are running at the time. We figured sticking to the specifications would provide more lastingly accurate information.

[@KoleBryson-s9m]

Yeah but most good commercial mowers use 7 gauge metal

[@LegendLength]

decks are a bit overrated, by the time you put a hole in it you'll want a newer mower anyway, unless you still mow with a machine from the 1990s

[@jackbraga2506]

Terrible build quality on my small zero turn mower. The cables, especially the choke are ridiculously stiff . Not because of lack of lube, but just poor design of the clips that hold the cables, actually pinch them in a way that makes them difficult to move. The design looks like something out of a cheap lawn mower from the 50s. The Japanese use to make quality products so I thought I'd be getting honda-like quality for the crazy money they charge.

[@kevinc8026]

It's practically free lol

[@USCGCoasttoast]

I wish I looked at different mowers before buying a Kubota Z726X what a pos this mower turned out to be. Only has 300.3 Hours on it and I have changed two coils, the Fuel pump, Starter, and one spindle. Cost me over 12k and I was going to trade it in and they were only going to give me 4300.00 for it. Never again Kubota for a lawn mower-Love my L3901 Tractor the mower sucks.

[@manbearpig-zh8ey]

Right 😂

[@humphreysoutdoorpower]

Im sorry to hear that! We've sold hundreds and rarely have any issue! Glad you like your L3901 though! Thank you for watching!

[@manbearpig-zh8ey]

@humphreysoutdoorpower My z726xkw-60 is amazing, and I don't know what this guy is talking about. And the 12k in work doesn't add up to me.

[@dannybonnette3237]

I love mine too but the deck has always been my issue. Seems like a very poor design and I am residential and not commercial by any means. Less than 10O hours on mine and every summer it has to hold in and lifting arms get replaced.

[@manbearpig-zh8ey]

@dannybonnette3237 makes no sense to me at all. Sorry about your luck. Not much to the mower or the deck.
