Kubota ZD 1511-72 Fuel Economy

[Brown Dog]

I wanted the ZD1511 for the HP but I'm COMPLETELY SATISFIED with my ZD1211-72RD
It has plenty of power cutting around my Hilly poultry farm in thick grass.

I dislike keeping the radiator clean so the Temp stays under control but wouldn't dare own a SD deck.

If the ZD1211 was offered with the ZD1511 air ride seat I’d probably go with a ZD1211.

I tried both and my back told me Air Ride or no ride.

I did read some where that a dealer can order an air ride seat but, they’re over $2K.

I'm saving 10-12gals of fuel each week with my ZD1211.
The 66hp 4wd JD Hydro eats fuel bad but I still have to use it on my steep banks.

BTW, Atlanta Kubota had a new ZD1511-72RD sitting in their showroom w/o a scratch a few wks ago - just saying.

I have a 1211 and love it. I suspect you will love the 1511 as well. Enjoy!

Yeah 72" deck. Side discharge. Just looking for more opinion on the overall machine. Seems pretty smooth operating. Only drove around parking lot. I have a 331 with 3000 hrs and it's quite different than that. Loaded with air seat and other options!!
