Kubota ZD321/ZD326/ZD331

Adjustable Front Axle (Oscillating/Rigid)

A steel front cover lifts up providing access to Adjustable Front Axle. Front axle can be easily changed from rigid to oscillating with the use of two pins. A rigid front axle is recommended for a more even cut while mowing rough terrain, while the oscillating front axle provides a smoother ride and oscillates with the terrain.

Control Panel

The ergonomically angled control panel is easy to view and access controls and indicators, including speed controls, fuel and oil gauges, the all-new cutting height adjustment dial (1"-5" in increments of 1/4"), the locking PTO lever and more.

Hands-Free Hydraulic Deck Lift

Kubota's advanced hydraulic deck lift pedal system allows the operator to easily raise and lower the deck with foot pedals, so easy access and quick response is never a problem.

Flexible Discharge Chute

The mower deck's discharge chute is crafted from a flexible, but sturdy material, which helps reduce damage to trees and bushes when mowing around these obstacles. The discharge chute is also 27% wider than before for better dispersion of clippings.

Dual Fuel Tank

Fuel capacity is maximized with two fuel tanks, holding 11.9 gallons total. This feature allows the operator to work longer and more efficiently without stopping to refuel. With approximately 30% greater fuel efficiency than gas-powered engines, diesel fuel also results in lower fuel costs.

Large Diameter Rear Tires

The ZD-300 series features large diameter, sturdy rear tires for improved stability, durability and handling. The ZD331, ZD326 with 60"/72" decks and ZD321 with 60" deck come standard with 26x12.0- 12 rear tires. The ZD321 with 54" deck is equipped standard with 26x10.5-12 tires.

Operator Speed Control Levers

The ZD-300 series includes newly designed operator speed control levers that include extra padding for a more comfortable mowing experience. The levers are also adjustable 19 degrees forward and backward, and their height can be increased or decreased by an inch, giving the operator more leg room, better reach and increased comfort.

Wide Deluxe Suspension Seat

The high back deluxe suspension seat is wider than before and includes four adjustable controls as standard: 1) back angle reclining 2) lumbar support 3) armrests 4) weight/suspension, plus forward/back adjustment, so every operator can get a custom fit. The back of the seat also features a handy net-type storage pocket.

Flat-free Front Caster Tires

The ZD331/ZD326P include flat-free (semi-pneumatic) front caster tires as standard equipment. These tires have been specifically designed to absorb impact with the rigidity of their structural thickness rather than merely with a cushion of air. Additionally, this means less down-time changing flat tires and increased productivity.

Full-Flat Operator Platform

The ZD-300 series features a full-flat operator's platform with curved front footrest that enables the operator to maintain a comfortable posture at all times. The operator platform is also wider than before to accommodate the wider deluxe suspension seat and providing more leg room, resulting in a more comfortable operating experience that reduces stress and fatigue.

Air Cleaner Indicator

The ZD-300 series features an air cleaner indicator that indicates when it's time to change or clean the filter, to help maintain maximum airflow capacity.

Cup Holder

The handy cup holder is a standard feature on the ZD-300 series. The cup holder is large enough to hold a large mug or bottle of water, and is conveniently located within easy reach from the operator's seat.

PRO Commercial Mower Deck

To ensure superior cutting performance, Kubota's newly developed shaft-driven mower with deeper deck and flat design, plus unique new baffling system, forces grass through all three cutting blades faster. Deck sizes available are 54 in., 60 in., and 72 in.. All decks are constructed of heavy 7-gauge steel. These fabricated decks are 6.5 inches in depth (60 in./72 in.) and 6 in. (54 in.) and are designed to allow faster cutting - even in tall, thick, and wet grass. Swivel anti-scalp rollers are included on 60 in./72 in. decks. Spindle bearings and pulleys provide maximum strength and support.

Dual Element Air Cleaner

The dual element air cleaner not only reduces the frequency of required maintenance, but also more effectively prevents entry of debris which contributes to extending engine service life.

Not only are they exceptionally durable, these fuel efficient Kubota diesel engines are engineered for clean emissions and low noise, making them environmentally friendly while providing high output along with high torque rise.

Hands-free Parking Brake

The parking brake is engaged and disengaged all by pressing or depressing a pedal. A hands-free operation, the pedal is conveniently located directly in front of the operator on the angled footboard for easy access.

Maintenance Hatch

The ZD-300 series includes a new maintenance hatch on the full-flat platform with built in storage pocket (ideal place to store operator's manual), for easy access to the upper mower, gearbox case and universal joint parts.

Transmission/Engine Access

Maintenance has never been so easy. The seat lifts up and forward for easy access to transmission and the hood opens to full access of engine for inspection and maintenance.

Deck Maintenance Lift System

For routine maintenance underneath the mower, Kubota's unique two-pin, tilt-up lift feature allows the front of the ZD-300 to be easily raised without having to remove the mid-mount mower. The system includes locks for the front tires to ensure safety. It's like having a built-in jack right there when you need it.

Large Radiator and Integrated Screen

The ZD300-series mowers feature a 20% larger radiator than previous models to improve cooling performance and prevent the engine from overheating. Additionally, the radiator screen is now integrated into the hood for better sealing performance and less likelihood of grass clippings finding their way inside the screen.
