    Beleive it or not I haven’t pulled the trigger on a unit yet. Local dealer just had a zd1211 show up last week. Finally got to see it today. I will say one thing…the Kubota is built infinitely better than the competition. It’s not even close. Like a tank. The dealer is telling me he won’t sell...

    Anyone know if there dealers will willingly install the air seat on zd1211. I asked this one and said they are not authorized to do it. They can special order it but want nothing to do with the swap out… I’ve seen videos where people are ordering them with the air ride seat.

    Honestly it’s not just the diesel that has me leaning Kubota. The build quality seems a lot better than the competitors. Most machines are using belts, hoses, and pulleys. I don’t know…most units seem kluged together with whatever they can find in the garage. Like incomplete. The Kubota has...

    Do rear discharge cover the machine. Possibility of over heating?

    What’s the difference if grass is fanned out over the grass or is left in rows by a side discharge? I would think the rows look worse? I’m definately not bagging.

    You guys recommend side discharge or rear discharge? Rear discharge is probably better for horsepower. Grass evacuates faster. Side discharge keeps grass off the machine. But it will be throwing it into gardens and pool.

    Is the are ride seat a factory option from Kubota. I don’t see it on the website when I configure a mower?

    How much does the zd1211 with 72” bog down? Is it adequately powered? I mow weekly. How is emission system on the zd1611? Is it fixed? 5-6k for more power and the same size mower deck is a tough pill to swallow.

    We have a truck and trailer…granted not as cool as yours. It has boat duty…

    I have thought about that…but finding a good clean used zero turn is hard. Plus Kubota financing is hard to beat on new units. I’m leaning towards the zd1211 72” now. Ferris 3300 look nice with suspension but that gas engine meh… Grasshopper look nice too. But dealers are in the next state...

    I don’t doubt they climb hills. For my the awd advantage was for snow and clearing my hilly driveway. Which ain’t happening with a zero turn

    I received landscaping quotes. It’s a no go. $300 a week is nuts. I’d make that back in a few seasons. Mowing is 7-8 months here. Plus…it gives me reason to buy some more toys!!!

    You guys haven’t done me any favors this weekend… So I’m buying a big diesel zero turn, a big diesel tractor for a bat wing mower, anything else? 😵‍💫
