Kubota Zero Turn Maintenance - What You Need to Know

Basically everything maintenance related on this mower expect for the parking brake adjustment and fuel filter replacement.

[@xtalvt]

WOW .. awesome video! I am a bit of a maintenance fanatic ... I always change my oil on time ... always fix anything that is broken so it is ready to go next time. I have never had a zero turn mower. Just found a ZD28 that I am putting an offer in on tonight. The neighbor has one and I know for a fact he has not done half of what you said to do. I know this unit has not been used much in the past for years and I am sure it will need everything you talk about in the video. Thanks so much !

Can’t believe these knowledge is shared to us for free lol great clean work

Got the zd21 , an absolute beast , 5k hours still runs like top , and honestly we abuse it , it runs 8 hours full blast none stop ,

[@mchagoya83]

Keep the videos rolling on this machine, please! I have a Kubota zd21 and there's no videos on it. Thanks for taking the time to make this. Wish I had that lift

[@n8300n]

Miguel Chagoya, I have a ZD21. Great machine. Are you having trouble with yours? Mine has 747 hours on it.

[@dan243811]

Same here, I just got one and the brake isn't working so I'm searching for videos and info on it

[@lukefenech]

Excellent video. Great help for me. Just bought one of these with very high hours on it so I will be going over it very thoroughly before using.

[@stf2400]

I don’t even own one of these, yet I was very interested in how you take care of your equipment. Great video

[@edb402]

I have a mower just like this I bought new in 2005. It’s a great mower with only about 1500 hours. Wasn’t cheap but I think I would have gone through two cheap mowers during this time. Previously I had a cheap John Deere with a two cylinder gas motor. It’s amazing the smaller amount of diesel fuel required as compared to the gas I poured though that John Deere.

Good luck, changing that drive belt. I ended up pulling it on the trailer and carried it to the shop. I just had mine pm'd for the season, used it twice when the drive belt broke. Its a pain in the ... to change it.

[@ryleepage3321]

CLEAN CONCISE THANK YOU

[@tazwowe]

Great video. Very thorough Looks like I've missed half of the grease nipples in my regular maintenance

[@Chris-Fennimore]

That looks like the same frame as my ZG23. Even the Main fuse that is dangling off the engine is the same. Yep, just change fluids per the schedule and it should be the last mower you need to buy. Mine has 1200 hrs on it.

[@michaelmactavish1728]

we have a 326 and takes me only 30 mintues wich the old cubcudet zero turn had at first it was a pain in the butt and night meirror wich takes 3 days for serviceing it wich kubota we got now makes life soo easy :)

[@johnnyeriksson2408]

Thank you for very useful information 😀😀

[@abelmendez8603]

Excellent work Dan!

[@autumnchaney976]

I was able to talk our seller into leaving his ZD28. I love this machine, but I’m lost on how to maintain it. Thank you for this informative video. Can you please do a video one a ZD28? Please show or specify all fluids used!

[@spoefa]

you did an excellent job.

[@winstonsaxonsdad]

I know the question has been asked before, but I didn't see any reply--what is the name of lift you used? I have tried to find something like it online but don't see any thing like yours....Thanks

[@danielscott6787]

Always enjoy your video's. Very informative- especially the Ford- video's.

[@chriswarrick6538]

nice video

[@ralphwitt9975]

i think the fuel filters there are two and they are plastic. think that was the fuel pump you were looking at

[@medjoolmaker]

Nice video A follow up showing how to detail/ clean it would be nice

[@pennsylvaniacitizen138]

Excellent video. Thanks.

[@coreythefam6455]

I remember that one video where u put diesel in a gas zero turn lol

[@neilmellon4397]

Excellent information thanks

[@moersmoers]

what make/model is the lift you have? great video! thanks!

[@yellowdogfarm]

great video

[@allanlawson5888]

Not bad for a first timer:-) I do small engine repair on the side and would love to know what kind of lift you have and how much it set you back to buy it?

[@ralphfolden3273]

Thanks, Similar to my ZD326.

[@mexluthor7227]

Great detailed video. Where did you get that lift?

[@MrGwdvideo]

I would also like to know about the lift - looks really nice

[@hphillips7425]

Good video 👍this is the type mower I wish I would have got my 21 hp Kawasaki is a pain in the ace 👍

[@maodell6361]

I have a zg227 54 and need to know how to change or bypass the brake safety switch

[@roddaniels1809]

Great video. I have the same machine and currently having trouble starting it sometimes. It appears that there is something amiss with the control arms that have to be extended outward on start. I have to jiggle arms in and out the get the motor to kick and run. Is there a simple solution or at least something I can check out?

[@ZZCPA1]

Do you by chance have a video that covers where the safety switches are on this mower? Thanks.

[@pamwhited8671]

Whts the black know with numbers for

[@julianrivera20]

I own the dz28 will the be a difference in amount of fluids and did you use transmission/hydraulic fluid in both transmission and final drives??

[@stanpatterson5033]

I'm guessing that this is a customer's machine, but maybe I'm wrong. Anyways, once a fellow has made the jump to a diesel-powered mower, is there ever a reason to want to go back to a gas-powered setup ? They used to say "Once you go black, you'll never go back", but now I hear them saying that orange is the new black. Every so often I get feeling a little green about it all, but those JD's are so expensive....

[@keithmarshall2129]

Was that a JOHN DEERE fuel filter?

[@louisf4467]

right thumb always tears on my glove also...lol

[@scgamer2442]

Out of topic comment, wheres the excursion?! did you sell it??

[@truthhurts7529]

How do you suggest getting under the mower if you do not have an awesome electric lift like you have? Carjack?

[@cmdrrgh]

R Nicodemus I have a ZD 28 and I use a car jack to lift it up and than use two six by six blocks about two feet long to lower the wheel on, than put the blocks of wood under the wheels and lower the Jack and you can go underneath the machine

[@FishFind3000]

So you don’t write the hours/miles on filters?

[@paulburgess8033]

Fill those filter

[@craigherriman236]

What about the transmission screen ,?

[@craigherriman236]

Possible My ZD 21 Vs ZD 18 , has a screen that showed the left hydro failed internal ?2060 hours 2100 dollars 2006. Question if I should have purchased new ! Diesel has been quite easy handling 14 years.

[@jasminem9059]

You missed the blades...

[@chadharmon5716]

Yea I'll just stick with my regular cheap gas riding mower lol

[@pamwhited8671]

Knobby seat for

[@andybub45]

Its a nice mower but maintinance looks like a pain in the ass.

[@mrpaulgrimm6129]

My 42 z mulcher Kit sucks. Waste of money
