ZD1211 Rear Wheel Weight Help

[lostcreekranch]

I wanted the extra 6hp ZD1511 but the Tier4 BS kept me away.

I'm old school & can work on basic stuff.

I'm WELL PLEASED with my ZD1211 & ESPECIALLY with my 72" REAR DISCHARGE DECK

This is my 4th RD mower & id NEVER go back to a SD lol

The new seat on ZD1211 is just as good as the air ride seat on my JD 4720 tractor FYI. No Joke.
Salesman said their leap years ahead of the old ZD331 seats.

I'd guess Atlanta Kubota still has their ZD1511 72" RD still on the floor because everyone wants SD deck for some crazy reason.

I guess I need to go take a ride on a ZD1211 again.

I mowed my STEEP Bank today with the 4wd tractor & forgot how nice it was not having wheel
Spin
The Turf Tires are truly amazing with all 4 tires 90% fluid filled !!!

I have a zd1211 with air ride seat. You can have your dealer order one and put it on. It is pricey though. Worth every penny

I知 still trying to buy a ZD1511, 72? Rear discharge ..... since October 2017 when dealer told me that Kubota had ceased shipping them until March 2018. So ... stopped by my closest Kubota dealer that I致e done business with for 12+ years. Sat down with owner and he told me that Kubota was still not delivering ZD1511s and that it (ZD1511) had been put back to Kubota Engineering for DEF issues. He is sending them an email to get a current update. Anyone else heard anything about this?

If Kubota would put the air ride seat on the ZD1211.... I壇 go buy one tomorrow.

Pricey? How much?

To avoid hi-jacking this thread, I’ve started a new one on my recent ZD1211 purchase.

I fluid filled both my rear tires today for better traction
Keep in mind I don't live in a Subdivision lol
Made a big Difference.

They held 13gals per tire = 100lbs & the xtra weight isn't on the mower or axles.

I’ll be watching this BD. The extra load will be on the wheel motors. I don’t have any real steep areas other than mowing two dams.

What Fluid did you use?

The Kubota has a "Transmission" with internal pumps unlike cheesy separate External Pump Motors on each drive wheel that all the Competitors use .

I used Water with Antifreeze Mix.
