Did your mower come in yet ?

Yes. Yesterday I think. Needing to go pick up a trailer on Monday and then try to find some time to get it. They have it ready and parked inside a covered barn to keep it out of the sun. I think it still needs the canopy installed. It's going to be nice having a smaller trailer again

Completely Satisfied Customer

Rear discharge had slower blade speed was one of the biggest negatives I could find but that might not be a negative ...

The 60" RD BTS is much slower at 16k.
The 72" RD BTS Is 18k rpm & really cuts a lot finer cut.

I am truly Amazed with my ZD1211 72" RD

Rear Discharge Decks exhaust THICK TALL Grass Clippings so much faster than a SD Deck slowing you down for clippings to be processed into thick clumpy windrows.

72" Rear Discharge Blades 2.5" wide with 1-1/8" center hole :

K5698-97530 is OEM replacement box of 3
K5698-34340 is a single blade OEM
70000-25013 is a single blade "High Lift" & EXACTLY the SAME Blade as the OEM stock replacements.

Kubota must be changing part #'s

K5975-34460 is the curved looking mulching blade.

The new style side discharge blades are 3" wide, flatter cutting edge with a bigger center hole than the RD uses.

Just a little FYI for you Tech Guys
