Kubota zd1211 s/d 72” blades

[turbo246]

I purchased a new zd1211. Cuts great but I’m just not impressed with the striping and “lift” from stock blades. Doesn’t seem to distribute thick grass or have the airflow/suction in the deck like my other diesel scag. Are there replacement blades that fit the new acs deck for 72” s/d?
I’m not really interested in mulching blades, but have read the older pro deck blades will fit if the hole is drilled out.

Any input ? Thanks

I have the 1211 also and am quite disappointed with the quality of cut compared to my front mount. I was hoping someone would chime in with some ideas.

I’m very surprised to hear this. I have a ZD326 and it mows awesome! Did they change blade profile on new mowers?

I put some low lift blades on my ZD326 by mistake and it mowed terrible. I’m wondering if new mowers blades don’t have enough lift.

The new blades on acs deck are a very low lift. Deck just doesn’t have the suction with these blades Maybe a blade off an older zd will fit ?

Kubota's big selling point on the new decks is they take less horse power. Probably do but the result is a poorer cut. I was considering selling my front mount for another ZD but until I can find blades that will do the job I will be keeping the old FM.

My mowers bite off more than they can chew before they run out of power. I really wouldn’t care how much power they save. I like having my front mount around. It does a better job than my ZTRs at the expense of trailer deck space.
