Have owned for 2.5 years and has been in shop several times a year. Ignition switch, pto engagement switch, crank case oil leak, hydroaulic oil leak, bad carburetor and so on, was told that the Briggs motor is junk..... buyers beware!!! Every time I try to depend on this mower it leaves me stranded.

I purchased the Z125s 54" deck. So far so good with this mower, it has power, mows through tough, long kikuyu, buffalo and couch that we have on our property. It throws the grass out far and I haven't had a issue mechanically since purchase. Previous owners had a 48" Big Dog and it took them about 6 hours, this one I can get the job done in less that 4! It's comfortable, the LED lights are a great and bright when mowing into dusk, and it feels smooth and responsive on the turns. Goes fast when you need it too, turns on pin and I wouldn't go back to a standard ride on mower..ever.

It had 16 hours on it when I finally told them to keep it. I used it 5 times, and it broke down 3 of those times. The transmission would lock up and the drive belt broke 3 times in 16 hours. They were able to sell me junk without any issue, but when I refused to pay anymore on it they destroyed my credit. I paid $708 in payments to use this mower 5 times. I had to use my 7 year old Craftsman because the Kubota was always broke.

Please buy something else, not Kubota, and not from Rucker Kubota in Palestine, TX.

I have had this mower for a little over a year now with 84hrs on the clock as I have a 5 acre block to mow, I love it as its quick and manoeuvrable and I haven't had any issues as yet, in fact the wife and I fight over who gets to do the first stint of mowing as its that good to use compared to the Toro zero turn that we had previously. Its pretty rough in places and the Kubota keeps soldering on through thick and thin. I cant say much about the after sales as we haven't needed anything but the salesman at the dealership really made the whole process simple and a pleasure to deal with.

My Z122E has 113 hrs on the meter. We have 5 acres of all lawn-- really easy going. So far it has been to the dealers workshop 5 times. The mechanic has been out to us 4 times. The main issue has been loss of power, backfiring etc which was eventually traced to a fuel supply issue.The crankshaft seal also failed causing a major oil loss.Every time it breaks down I drag out the old (14 years) Cox and finish the job. I paid extra for a so called quality brand which was a complete waste of money.

I almost overlooked the Kubota, sure glad I didn't it is the best finished, has by far the most comfortable seat and can be used for long periods without feeling smashed. This machine does a great job and is a breeze to use. This is a vast improvement on my Cox.

Bought the mower zg122 unit to mow a slopey 5 acre block with cow pasture up to a meter tall. Can mowing the lawn be fun? Apparently it can, wife can't wait to get back on it, she's now mowing more than me! Cuts great once the grass has been kept quite low, otherwise needs 2 goes at it to a lower enough point, once to first trim it down and the second to finish it off, if that's what you want. It's what you would expect though with grass this tall!

The only thing I don't like about it is frequent servicing requirements, and I wish it was fuel injected - still it isn't bad on fuel, the entire paddock in around 15L so far. As it is still new I haven't got much else to say just did the first oil change, was easy.
