My setup was 16,000
No snow yet so just go to the grasshopper site or look for videos on you tube.
Going to try to use without a cab or Electrci lift

I have a really clapped out 3 cylinder kabota gas on my 1990's grass hopper, the whole machine was wore out years ago. I love it.
But I am in need of a hydro unit now. I would not hesitate to own another. Although I did pick this one up for $500 about 8 years ago.

That must have been used hard commercially or not taken care of to be worn out. I have a late 90's that is running like new. What happened?

That sounds like a nice new setup you have. I'm sorry to hear the Kubota was leaving ruts everywhere. Have any pictures you could share with us?

It was a commercial mower trade in, then used again for commercial then I bought from my brother that traded 5 ricks of firewood for it.
Really rough shape, bearings shot, rust but I still use it. Needs a hydro, deck wheels, tail wheels, deck spindles etc...

No photos but over the spring my yard was really rough from the weight of the Kubota. In areas along fence or buildings that require to drive in the same location to cut close I had 1" deep tracks from both back tires. I think the ZD 26 weighs 1800 lbs with 60" deck, grasshopper is 1400.
Kubota is great for dry yards but my place stays very wet until July.
