Hard to believe I had this mower 5 years. The wake up had me realize that the oil probably was changed only once. Has 279 hours on the clock. My bad. So today it got the full treatment with fuel filter, oil filter, oil, air cleaner cleaned, and new spark plugs. I just ordered a Mojack lift to...

When I bought my ZT last year, the dealer installed a mulching kit. I have all the parts that were replaced and would like to remove the kit, restoring it to the original configuration. Any ideas where info like that could be found? Thanks.

First oil change coming up for my Z123 -48 Kubota. I'm thinking of using Mobile1 10-30 oil. Any thoughts on why not, or other oil brand/w?

Would like to perform my own maintenance. U-tube instruction would be nice....or written instructions.

I've mowed with my new Komannder a few times and now have some limited experience. 1 - As reported in another post, I removed the very dangerouse roll bar. No need for detail here. 2 - The cut is better than my old Wheelhorse tractor. I run a 48" mulch deck. Just after mowing the lawn looks...

I posted earlier that the roll bar on my Kommander looked like a dangerous thing. It has the ability to catch low hanging branches and flip the mower over backwards. To that end I chainsawed all likely looking branches that I though would pose a problem (quite a pile). All except one !!! That...

The horz air intake on the Kubota ZT gets leaves sucked to the grille. Some get sucked into the fan, while others get picked off by me. I haven't looked inside (I guess this can be done) to see if anything is collecting. A wire screen a few inches above the intake would be a help since there...

I completed the first mow. Was pretty ragged at first. By the time I finished, the controls felt better. I did better at cutting closer to things with my old Toro Wheel Horse tractor. The Kubota will probably improve with my getting better with the controls. The 15* bank was a bit hairy. With...

The rig was delivered yesterday and it has been raining ever since.:frown: I checked things out in the garage and ran into adjustment limits on the deck height. The deck hangs close to a half inch lower than the dial setting. I adjusted the 'stop bolts' to their end and got the right height...

I bought a Kubota ZG123S today. I scratched around a lot of brands, coming down to the Kubota and Exmark. A mulch rig is on order which will take a couple of days. One stumbling block was the Kolher Courage engine problems. In fact, it almost killed the deal. I have been lead to believe that...

The roll bar (ROPS?) on Kubota Kommander looks like it could be a serious hazard. I have many low branches to mow around and under. If a branch were it block the bar, I envision it tipping the machine back on the drive wheels causing a rearward tip-over. My better sense dictates that it should...

Looking to get info on the Kubota Kommander s123. Already read disturbing stuff on the Kolher engine being junk. That may be a deal killer for me.
