My New Kubota ZD1211 Mower

[lostcreekranch]

I finished cutting Rear Rubber Deflector Flaps on RD Deck.
I left them 1" length from top on both sides.

I cut 1" off the center flap & 1" off the metal deflector behind it.

Headed out to mow .....

I’m interested in feedback on that BD.

I’m interested in feedback on that BD.

Now the grass clippings are evenly scattered & much thinner

Before : it left Three Heavy Windrows that would kill the grass.

I don't know why it's took me 107hrs of use to do this lol

Brown Truck just dropped off my Oregon Gator Blades

They cut great. Leaves a light windrow in center cutting Thick 8" Grass.

I Didn't have any normal height grass to cut lol

They have about 1.5" longer cutting edge than OEM blades which is good & the cutting edge is completely flat which I like.
The stock Kubota blades are kindly curled up.

1/2" wider & Heavier than stock with 1.5" longer sharpened edge

Doh! Didn’t read carefully. Sorry!

Glad you’re pleased.

Are you noticing any difference, in grass getting up to front of your radiator, after trimming off your vinyl rear deflectors?

So far it hadn't sucked anymore clippings than before cutting the deflectors.
I'm thinking the blades blows the clippings OUT the back much faster, further & harder Not hanging around to be sucked up into the radiator draft .... I may be wrong tho.
I'll know next week when I start all over cutting lol

Found an error in the owners manual when doing my first oil change today. My mower is a ZD-1021, so the error may not be in your ZD-1211 manual...but just in case:

In the Oil Change section they have a drawing showing the location of the drain plug...the arrow points to the drain plug for the hydraulic fluid instead of the motor oil. If you're doing your first oil change, and not giving it full attention, could be a costly mistake.

You guys have probably changed you oil many times, but just in case someone new reads this thread, thought I'd point it out.
