Frustrated with Kubota Z125

published
Date PurchasedMay 2015

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.

Lemon Worst lawnmower made!!! Lemon

published

This lawnmower started out great & the second time I mowed it thru a belt off. Belt replaced then it happened 9 more times in the first year I owned it. On top of that the starter went bad, pulleys went bad, then the spindle went bad too. Talked to Kubota dealership and the company asking for another unit or money back and of course they refused saying I had the best lawnmower on the market. Complete garbage!! Used a Troy Bilt for 8 years to mow 3 acres and never had these problems. Please DONT BUY a Kubota!! Buy another brand that the company will stand behind. Now back in for service after there campaign upgrades and for the second time in shop for problems after they fixed with now more problems and as normal Kubota is of NO Help!!

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.

Happy with my purchase

published

Zero Turn is far superior to my Kubota B6200 with under slung mower in terms of speed and comfort. Uses a fair bit more fuel when the grass is long. I have done 105 hours in about 10 months with little maintenance required apart from oil change, clean air filter and a new set of blades (my block is still a bit rough). Also Zero Turn is great fun to drive.

Kommader z122e 48" Briggs and Stratton,great zero turn mower

published

The mower has a 48 inch cut and is very well made,Hills District Farm Equipment were helpful and professional in handling my purchase. The mower is very comfortable and easy to operate with a foot operated deck lift system. The v-twin Briggs is ultra smooth and has plenty of torque. I highly recommend this product for residential mowing.

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.

Continual belt problems

published

Had my z121s for a couple years now and has less than 100 hours on it. The deck belt has come off 12 to 15 times. They say a piece of pine cone or stick gets in the pulley. Thats actually happened 3 Times. Belt broke at about 75 hours for no apparent reason. Apparently poor design with the pulley system. Switch had to be replaced but it was warranteed (thank you, dealer!). I'd like to get rid of it, but guess I'm stuck. No more Kubota mowers for me. I have a Kubota tractor 7 years I love...no problems. Stick to tractors, Kubota!

Mower belt coming off, engine is running ruff, missing.

published

Very disappointed for a mower to be in the shop 2 times with only 49 hrs on it .And the dealer, my cousin Woodlee Kubota McMinnville Tn. of all things saying it had a stick on the mower belt causing the belt to come off, and bad gas causing it to run bad.Hi, I didn't just come off the boat .Belt has came off 4 times.I put it back on .The Dam thing shakes like a out of ballence dryer at low speed, The Dealer told me to run it wide open and then turn on the mower belt. And all gas is bad. Use gas treatment. What a bunch of crap.

Terrible

published

Worked great when new, now after 100hrs it backfires and is incredibly noisy and throttles up and down on its own. Serviced correctly but now the dealer says it needs new valves and other repairs....given what I paid that amounts to about $100 per mow. Stay away from this junk.

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.
