Belt or Pulley Problem again!

published

Less than 60 hours and down again for the fifth time with belt/pulley problem.
Very frustrating as Kubota will not recognize they have a problem. Do not recommend! Kawasaki engine cranks excessive before it starts.

A great mower

published

Bought a Z122R in late 2016, 42' Deck, Kawasaki powered FR651V 21.5 Hp. I'm not sure about all the noise on belt issues but to me it must be abuse. You should not mow at greater than half throttle and pick up big sticks from the surrounding gum tree please. Engaging the Blades at high speed is not recommended.
If your wanting Original engine parts, like filters etc or non Genuine Blades I recommend

Save some dollars and postage is quick.

This mower is a great investment, solid deck, heaps of power, Zero turn.

Great mower

published

This is my second year of use. Its the first zero turn mower Ive owned and was very easy to learn to operate. Only a couple of minor issues. Mine requires no choke in summer and floods at times even in winter. The two front tyres are very thin and both punctured with cat heads in the first week of use. Otherwise brilliant, and makes mowing fun. The local dealer delivered to my home, provided excellent instruction and ensured I was familiar with safe use. I note other reviews complaints re belt issues. The advice I was given was not to wash under deck. I use a blower after mowing, scrape build up out every now and then and hand wash to keep the rest of mower clean. Mower would suit residential and small acreage.

Purchased in October 2021.

If you want to save time, choose it.

This mower is a 26hp 3cyc diesel that gets better mileage than 8 got on my old 18 hp gas. It has almost unlimited power, mows fast, smooth with power steering, brakes, hydraulic drive. It never bogs down in heavy grass, blades are indestructible and mowers a beautiful smooth flat lawn and is just fun to drive. Would never buy anything else’s.

Love this machine

published

Easy to start, and operate. Love the many cutting hieght selections. Purchased last Fall. Started immediately after long hibernation. Just completed 8.0 hour oil and filter change. Found the oil drain location a tad inconvenient.
Very comfortable, but I added arm rests...
I have an acre and this machine cuts much faster, although there are a few steep hills, so I take it slow on those.
I read many reviews and hesitated to buy... I sure am very pleased with my purchase. This replaced a Troy Bilt that lasted 20+ years.

This mower rocks

published

After buying a couple of 2nd hand tractor style ride ons which fairly promptly failed, I took the plunge and bought the Kubota Z122R brand new. Does everything I could expect of it, mostly just around the house on fairly level ground but also a bit of hairy staff near the front gate where it tackles a decent slope with ease.

Belt keeps jumping off pully

published

My Z122R throws the belt and I even broke one. They have a belt tension kit to fix this problem but on back order. They replaced my belt and said they don't have anymore because they to are back ordered. Any part I needed for my new mower has been back ordered. Thinking about going back to Toro.

Love the mower, but it seems our Kubota dealer has problems getting parts from Kubota themselves!

Belt problems

published

Cut grass one time with no problems. Went to cut it the second and the belt came off, along with a large spring. I made the first payment yesterday. I asked the dealership if this is a common problem and was told it wasn't. Now after a little research it seems to be.

Worst lawnmower I ever had!!

published

Knew friends with kubota tractors and they loved them. So I figured their lawnmowers would be as good. WRONG.
This thing has given me sooo much trouble. Belts and pulleys. Had it 2 yrs. and it's been in the shop 7 times and of course belts are not covered under the warranty. And the labor is always at least 150$ -200$ or more. The belts come off EVERY TIME we mow!!. Could of bought a used mower and had better luck. Bought a new mower so we wouldn't have to work on it. No stars... It's junk, a moneypit, undependable, useless. Had to put one star cause it wouldn't submit with zero stars. Someone should report kubota to the BBB. Then maybe they would make good on all this junk stuff.

Sounds as if it is low on hydraulic fluid. Check the reservoir to see if has the correct level.

When the foot pedal is pushed down, there is a rotary dial to your right, turn this to get the desired height
