I LIKE THS SNOW, I LIKE THE SNOW 🥴🤣👌 Ho boy, a molar tooth, that worth much more 🤣🥴👌You daughter as a Great sence of humor about the speed 👌🤣 She is a great comedian artiste 😉👍 Slow win the race SIr 👍😉👌 keep up your OUTSTANDING DADDY WORK Cheers 🍻
Oh yeah, I’ve had enough of the snow. I’m sure the banks in front of your house are still well over your head still. Brielle is a crazy kid and of course she knows everything at her age. 🤪🤪 Keep on tractoring!
Your daughter is a good sport! I love how you were making her apart of it and waiting for her to be as excited as you lololol… you bought it for you haha. I do the same with my wife and daughter😂
Very Cool.. I hope you have some green grass soon and the white stuff is done for the season. Your daughter is very funny.. She looks to be about the same age as my son (10).
Really happy for you. You're going to love using that zero turn mower! And it looks like you found a really nice one. Can't wait to see your future zero turn mowing videos.
Your going to enjoy it I went to a zero turn in 2017 and never went back I love it good choice in the engine my has a Kawasaki engine I have a gravely proturn 52
Looks brand new, Jon! We are searching for a new mower. Wife wants a traditional lawn tractor instead of a zero turn. She’s the primary mower operator here. I think you found the perfect sized machine! Congrats!
Thanks Ed, this is the first time I've ever downsized in terms of mower width but I know the speed and maneuverability will make up for it. I'm hoping my wife will enjoy mowing with it, and eventually get Brielle trained in on it as well. Keep on tractoring!
That mower will do a great job in your yard. It looks like it has been well cared for. We put the deck back on the BX yesterday. Mowing season is only a few days away. You sure have some good entertainment/help hanging around in garage with you 🤣. She’s such a happy kid! Good luck!
I've noticed things are really greening up in your latest videos. We've got a few weeks to go I think. It's been colder here than normal. I sure am looking forward to some warmer weather. Keep on tractoring!
Hi Jon! Looks like a very fine machine you have there! 200 hours and it still looks like new. Of course you know Briel stole the show from you this time. She adorable! Keep on Zero Turning!
It’s a nice looking machine. When I bought my zero turn 4 years ago it was between that exact machine or the scag liberty z. I ended up with the scag but that was the machine I wanted. It has heavier duty hydros on it and a bigger motor. I think you will be happy. I ended up with the scag basically because of availability. At the time the kubota was new to the market and they couldn’t really tell me how long it would take to get so I went with the scag and took delivery 2 days later. For a homeowner machine anyone in that class is nice and you can’t really go wrong.
Nice looking mower, I got one about 3 years ago and it takes me half the time to mow, I have 5 acres, I don't mow all of it but it really saves me a lot of time, take care.
Thats a nice rig! We have a poulan (husqvarna) ride on and I hate it lol We dont have a sustainable yard for a ride on lol we really need a zero turn haha
Awesome video, I Thoroughly enjoy each and every one of your videos Jon. I almost fell on the floor when you said “someone needs to shoot that ground hog” 😂😂 That artillian bucket holder is gonna be your most used attachment to your ROPS! Def use it! It’s very very handy on mowers too pick up trash/debris, and any other types of things you find when your out mowing. Can’t wait to see it in action it looks like a VERY nice machine for the money you paid 👍🏻
Hey Mike, yes I'm quite happy with this find. Now if it would only warm up some I could practice my driving skills. It'll be quite comical watching me learn how to drive it. I think you're right about the bucket attachment. Keep on tractoring!
I am on year 3 with my Z421, pretty rock solid mower so far. I have the 48 inch deck and wished I had the 54 inch instead. The deck does not stick out far enough for edging and I have ruined 1 left side tire already. Motor is strong although more HP would be nice but not necessary. As fast as I get done now vs a normal lawn tractor, I find myself doing more areas of my property than I had done before. Parts can be ordered online from about anywhere and are very reasonable. Enjoy!.
Gonna love zturn . So much easier and faster to mow. I went zturn several years ago and never go back. They get stuck easy so if you have any wet areas beware. Sounds like you got a good deal.
How cool!! I got this same mower before last summer and have a full season of mowing with it now. You’ll get used to the stick driving before you know it. Seems weird and awkward at first, but that goes away quickly. I’m no expert, obviously, but it was my first ever 0-turn and got comfortable on it pretty quickly. I can say it’s pretty tough! I accidentally pulled a tarp into the blades and it shut off. I was able to get it back to the garage, but the blades no longer turned. I got a jack and was able to pull all the tarp from around the blade shafts. There was no damage to any of the mower parts! Just something to be aware of. Careful around them hidden objects! A lift or jack is a great addition for maintenance. Have fun!!!
Thanks, I'm really looking forward to it drying up so I can practice my skills. I'll make sure no loose tarps are flying around. I bet that was quite a mess. Thanks for the comment. Keep on tractoring!
He has a Kubota BX, and hopefully with pallet forks, that makes for a great lift LOL. I just have a lawn tractor and have a Mo-Jack for mine, works great for blade changes and deck maintenance.
I narrowed my choice down to three Z-turns, .......... Bad Boy Maverick 60 inch, Kubota Z422Kw 60 inch, Scag Patriot 60 inch. it was a tough decision. All great machines. I went with the closest Dealer to the house and got the Scag Patriot, love it. the Kubota 421 is a machine to be proud of, it will give you dependability for years
I have a 726x and have had no issues in 3 years of use, best advice on mowing hills is to go up and down rather than side hilling especially if the grass is damp or wet. They tend to slide down the slope depending on how steep it is. You can adjust the control levers so they don't interfere with your legs and for the best comfort level, lever control will come quickly and you won't even think about it. Take care... Your daughter is a hoot lol...
We have a zero turn here at the ranch. I believe it's an Aaron's with a bagger system. It does a really good job a little cold blooded but runs well. Sorry I don't have much for info for ya to help you out on yours other than you're going really like mowing with it. Take care Jon. ✌
We bought our z421 60” four years ago and it has 128 hrs. The only difference between the 54” and 60” besides the deck is the size of the back tires. We mow 2.5 acres at a time. Maintenance is very easy. The only issue we’ve had is the starter solenoid went out. You will enjoy it.
I have been driving zero turns over twenty years, my only advice is keep it blown off after every use. Contrary to Brielle, that was a good deal. Good luck, you will love it.
I'm usually pretty good about cleaning the mower deck off of my BX each time. I'm hoping this will last me a long time. Thanks for the comment. Keep on tractoring!
Great video jon, it’s better because you got Brielle giving it laughter , I don’t know how you stand it in the same house with both of the spunky girls. Glad you got a zero turn my daughter bought a x mart from previous owner ,I believe it’s a 55 inch cut I’ll be trying it out soon
All the girls in my house drive me NUTS!!! I don't how I stand it either. Thank goodness I have the garage to escape to, but sometimes they find me. 😂 Keep on tractoring!
Very Nice Like the idea of a tool bar I want to add a holder for my weed eater Also yo will want to add if not on yours already is a ball hitch for a wagon so you can carry or pull a sprayer for weeds or to water your plants from the seater position Other than that they are east to work on Only problem I’ve ever had was my Badboy would not start because the wires came loose from safety switch Easy fix but poor design on mine The only thing I would change now is to update from my elite to the Rogue because of the size of my property and for a better riding experience. P.S. they are great for the GO Pros can get many cool video shots Great purchase you and the family will love it Be careful on wet hills ! Won’t turn over but sliding and spinning are a real challenge ! Phil PFON
When we got our zero turn around 20 years ago, I could not get my wife to let me mow. It changed a 4 hour mow job into about a1-1/2 hour job. My wife says it drives just like a shopping cart.
How's she goin'? Congrats on getting the zero turn. I think these mowers are pretty slick. I have never driven one or even had a close look at them, but they sure look like a great way to mow the lawn!!! Take care!!!
I would have liked to get a Toro, I've been in contact with them but I got tired of waiting and this was too good of a deal to pass up. Keep on tractoring!
Make sure you make 3 point turns instead of just spinning around when changing directions otherwise you will tear up your lawn because the inside wheel will actually spin backwards and leave a nice divot in the grass
Congratulations brother! You will love it once you get used to! I used a Ferris at work was a big one and mows at jogging speed on ligh stuff. Careful of low branches with the ROP, scares the hell out of you when you hit one.
Will be very useful if your yard is soft. Sometimes after rain mine is too soft for my BX2380. I only have a push mower to use in that situation. Not a lot of fun.
Every so often we get enough rain where the BX is too heavy to mow with and I end up waiting for things to dry up. The zero turn will be nice to finally have a dedicated mower. Keep on tractoring!
I think Brielle has a much better thought on that bucket holder. All that crap mounted to that zero turn when you do flip it over, the thing rolling over on you won't be what kills you, it'll be everything flying off that tool rack, out of the bucket, and all the garden tools you land on top of. Should have just bought a lawn tractor. Unless you have a nice smooth lawn, you really aren't gaining anything with a zero turn, they ride really rough, and not as controllable on hills...oh and as someone else mentioned they don't have brakes.
I have a Ferris on order. Had enough of the BX at 3-4 mph on 4 acres. Coworker let me use his Bad Boy and it cut better, and took less then half the time.
Just remember to keep both rear wheels moving otherwise you will tear up the turf. The easiest way to do this is via three point turns at the end of each line. Once you practice you will get very fast at turning around, basically make a Y at the end, pull direction you want to go and then reverse back the other way and end up back going the other way. If you drag a wheel like making a 180 degree turn with a wheel stopped it will leave a big divot in the grass. The other thing is make sure you wear the seat belt if you have the rops up and don't wear the seat belt if the rops is down. I have Hustler Super Z Hyperdrive and they are heavy and will tear things up if you don't make proper turns.
While your waiting to thaw out…..limb up the trees, edge and mulch them once you can get a shovel in the ground, and decide your mowing plan so you’re moving forward most of the time. Remember the front end is light when dealing with hills.
They might be fast, but they ride horribly if you have a rough yard, which most think they got a nice smooth yard till the first time they go flying across it on a zero turn and that mower is everyway but smooth.
Nice machine, congratulations! It looks like you are missing your belt guards on top of the deck, from a safety point, should order new ones. Be careful on hills, zero turns not so good on hills.
The deck is like the wings and the hand controls go forward and back like an airplane yolk. It's practically the same thing. 😂😂 Oh and the blades are like propellers. *Keep on tractoring!*
Not nearly as big of a deal as putting gas in a diesel...and I'm willing to bet its a matter of time before that ooops happens on the BX now that he's got that zero turn LOL.
It gos to fast that's why I don't like zero turn mower. I have driven one it went to fast for me you can't plow with it. I like kubota bx tractors. It's easy for me to drive. The mower deck is easy to put on . I been doing every spring . So it's easy. I know you said it's hard to put on . You have a 60 deck not a 54 mower deck. In are family we have a kubota bx and my uncle has a kubota bx I have a kubota bx1880 with rck54 mower deck. It's easy to put on because the rck54 mower deck is easy. To put on and take off. I think the rck54 mower deck would been easier for you not the 60 mower deck . I been happy with the rck54 mower deck when I was buying a kubota bx1880. I was think what mower deck to buy I thought the rck48 mower deck but I would been mower for a while. So I heard when you buy a kubota bx1880 with a rck54 mower deck the price would be cheaper when you bought it. I said rck54 mower deck would do they said I your sure you want the rck54 mower deck I said yes because we have kubota bx with rck54 mower deck and it would be quicker cut the grass. I love my rck54. Mower deck. Last summer. I mow the grass with it I love it cut the leaves in the fall. Did great. Better than cub cadet xt2. Dose pick up leaves I hate it because it doesn't chopped the leaves up in the bagger. The kubota bx1880 bagger does chopped leaves it bigger than cub cadet bagger 2 bags kubota bags 3 bags the kubota bagger fit more leaves in it than cub cadet bagger you have to dump them more.
I have the same exact mower and I have had zero problems thus far . Have owned it for two years now .
Good to know, I’ve heard only good things about this model. I can’t believe how much faster I can mow with it.
Keep on tractoring!
Me too, 200 hours only maintenance done
Your Daughter is a riot! Lol 😂
I LIKE THS SNOW, I LIKE THE SNOW 🥴🤣👌 Ho boy, a molar tooth, that worth much more 🤣🥴👌You daughter as a Great sence of humor about the speed 👌🤣 She is a great comedian artiste 😉👍 Slow win the race SIr 👍😉👌 keep up your OUTSTANDING DADDY WORK Cheers 🍻

Your daughter is a good sport! I love how you were making her apart of it and waiting for her to be as excited as you lololol… you bought it for you haha. I do the same with my wife and daughter😂
I think I was definitely more excited and I’ve still yet to teach her how to drive it. Thanks for the comment!
Keep on tractoring!
Very Cool.. I hope you have some green grass soon and the white stuff is done for the season. Your daughter is very funny.. She looks to be about the same age as my son (10).
Brielle will be 9 in May. She knows everything already!! 😂😂
Keep on tractoring!
Picking up a new one tomorrow. Anxious to get it and use it. Good video.
Nice Zero Turn, Jon! Looks pretty darn new! I love my Bad Boy Rebel 61". You will have it dialed in and driving it like a pro in no time!
Thanks, I'm hoping I can figure it out quickly and not look like a fool for too long.
Keep on tractoring!
Really happy for you. You're going to love using that zero turn mower! And it looks like you found a really nice one. Can't wait to see your future zero turn mowing videos.
The first few zero turn videos from me should be quite humorous until I get the hang of the controls. I'm looking forward to it.
Keep on tractoring!
Your going to enjoy it I went to a zero turn in 2017 and never went back I love it good choice in the engine my has a Kawasaki engine I have a gravely proturn 52
yeah kubota gas and diesel engines are great
That’s one of the best made. I’ve had one for 5 years and I love it. Heavy built, sturdy, I really like mine.
I think you're right. I'm hoping it holds up well for me also. I plan to keep it a long time.
Keep on tractoring!

Hello from Our local Minnesota CZcams Channel. My Toro Zero Turn mower has cut my mowing time in half! You will figure it out in no time.
Turns are awesome. I have a JD Zturn that is over 10 years old. I need to do some work on it. but it still keeps going. You will enjoy this machine.
Heyhey Jon that looks like its gonna be fun Take care my friend
Thanks Mike! Hope things have started to thaw out for you by now.
Keep on tractoring!
Hi Jon! Looks like a very fine machine you have there! 200 hours and it still looks like new. Of course you know Briel stole the show from you this time. She adorable! Keep on Zero Turning!
Thanks Martin, it run very nicely as well. I'm looking forward to mowing with it. Brielle needs her own channel.

Thanks for the reassurance, I'm hoping it is exactly what I needed.
Keep on tractoring!
Hey John congrats on the new mower. Your going to like it they are great mowers. Welcome to the club as well
Hey there Ethan! Hoping to cut my mowing time in half. I was tired of putting mowing hours in the BX.
*Keep on tractoring!*
Nice looking mower, I got one about 3 years ago and it takes me half the time to mow, I have 5 acres, I don't mow all of it but it really saves me a lot of time, take care.
You’re gonna enjoy it I have A Husqvarna with the 54 inch cut and A Kawasaki engine bought it new last August
I was also looking at one of those because I've heard good things about them. Glad you're happy with it.
Keep on tractoring!
Thats a nice rig! We have a poulan (husqvarna) ride on and I hate it lol We dont have a sustainable yard for a ride on lol we really need a zero turn haha
RULE BREAKER!!!! Nice machine buddy!!
I can't do anything right, she's not even a teenager yet. 😂 I'm in trouble all the time.
Keep on tractoring!
Nice purchase Jon I hope that means the weather will warm up soon. I am going Nutty 🤪sitting inside the house!!! Thanks for the video!!!
I'm getting sick of this gloomy weather also, it's time for it to warm up! Bring on the sun!
Keep on tractoring!
Awesome video, I Thoroughly enjoy each and every one of your videos Jon. I almost fell on the floor when you said “someone needs to shoot that ground hog” 😂😂 That artillian bucket holder is gonna be your most used attachment to your ROPS! Def use it! It’s very very handy on mowers too pick up trash/debris, and any other types of things you find when your out mowing.
Can’t wait to see it in action it looks like a VERY nice machine for the money you paid 👍🏻
Hey Mike, yes I'm quite happy with this find. Now if it would only warm up some I could practice my driving skills. It'll be quite comical watching me learn how to drive it. I think you're right about the bucket attachment.

We bought our z421 60” four years ago and it has 128 hrs. The only difference between the 54” and 60” besides the deck is the size of the back tires. We mow 2.5 acres at a time. Maintenance is very easy. The only issue we’ve had is the starter solenoid went out. You will enjoy it.
Thanks, I've heard others mention about the starter solenoid. I might one to have an extra one on hand just in case.

Brielle you are awesome in this video! Great job
Thanks Nana! Come home soon, we miss you!
Keep on tractoring!
Great research and purchase Jon.Take care, stay safe and enjoy.
Found a good deal at the right time. I'm hoping it works out well for us.
Keep on tractoring!
I think the biggest thing is to remember they dont have brakes! If you are mowing downs hills take it slow untill you are comfortable! Nice purchase!
I have been driving zero turns over twenty years, my only advice is keep it blown off after every use. Contrary to Brielle, that was a good deal. Good luck, you will love it.

Jon your fun to be with I am sure
Very Nice
Like the idea of a tool bar
I want to add a holder for my weed eater
Also yo will want to add if not on yours already is a ball hitch for a wagon so you can carry or pull a sprayer for weeds or to water your plants from the seater position
Other than that they are east to work on
Only problem I’ve ever had was my Badboy would not start because the wires came loose from safety switch
Easy fix but poor design on mine
The only thing I would change now is to update from my elite to the Rogue because of the size of my property and for a better riding experience.
P.S. they are great for the GO Pros can get many cool video shots
Great purchase you and the family will love it
Be careful on wet hills ! Won’t turn over but sliding and spinning are a real challenge !

When we got our zero turn around 20 years ago, I could not get my wife to let me mow. It changed a 4 hour mow job into about a1-1/2 hour job. My wife says it drives just like a shopping cart.
my kubota has sale on them gas and diesel zero turns wich sold out all ready
How's she goin'? Congrats on getting the zero turn. I think these mowers are pretty slick. I have never driven one or even had a close look at them, but they sure look like a great way to mow the lawn!!! Take care!!!
It's a one trick pony but it does that one trick really really well. I'm looking forward how to use it.
Keep on tractoring!
Great video! Except that part where you mentioned shovels…. I avoid those if at all possible! 😂👍
Awesome man.
Thanks for the visit, I'm going to mow so much faster now!
Keep on tractoring!
Great purchase! I have a Toro Zero Turn with the Kawasaki motor, and it's fantastic. Good price too.
I would have liked to get a Toro, I've been in contact with them but I got tired of waiting and this was too good of a deal to pass up.
Keep on tractoring!
@@ritterjon I'm going to be replacing my Toro with a Kubota. But I have to go at least 60". I spend 5 hours a week cutting my lawn.
Make sure you make 3 point turns instead of just spinning around when changing directions otherwise you will tear up your lawn because the inside wheel will actually spin backwards and leave a nice divot in the grass
Congratulations brother! You will love it once you get used to!
I used a Ferris at work was a big one and mows at jogging speed on ligh stuff. Careful of low branches with the ROP, scares the hell out of you when you hit one.
Also they suck if you get bogged. Like to spin in a circle.
Nice chainsaw holder, would be great on my Koti 26 10.
Its missing the spindle covers just fyi sir. Nice mower!! Love my z412 kawi!
Took them off for transport so they didn’t fly off.
Keep on tractoring!
@@ritterjon solid advice!! I'd never thought about that even when I brought her home lol. Definitely earned a sub
Will be very useful if your yard is soft. Sometimes after rain mine is too soft for my BX2380. I only have a push mower to use in that situation. Not a lot of fun.

While your waiting to thaw out…..limb up the trees, edge and mulch them once you can get a shovel in the ground, and decide your mowing plan so you’re moving forward most of the time. Remember the front end is light when dealing with hills.

*Keep on tractoring!*
Compared to your BX they really suck the fuel. They are fast and fun to mow with.
They might be fast, but they ride horribly if you have a rough yard, which most think they got a nice smooth yard till the first time they go flying across it on a zero turn and that mower is everyway but smooth.
Nice machine, congratulations! It looks like you are missing your belt guards on top of the deck, from a safety point, should order new ones. Be careful on hills, zero turns not so good on hills.
Oh yes, I have those in the back of the truck, didn't want them flying off during transport.
Keep on tractoring!
Maybe you can get a plow for it.
Many zero turns can be fitted with a plow, if not they bought the wrong zero turn LOL.
Like an airplane? That's a new one. Could you please explain?
The deck is like the wings and the hand controls go forward and back like an airplane yolk. It's practically the same thing. 😂😂 Oh and the blades are like propellers.

Well you can sell your BX now, your zero turn will take up all your time mowing lawns for everyone. The only plus is you got a Kubota.
My only advise is even though its orange ..... don't put diesel in it.
That is good advice, I'm going to have to remember that for sure. I sure hope I don't mess that up.
Keep on tractoring!
Not nearly as big of a deal as putting gas in a diesel...and I'm willing to bet its a matter of time before that ooops happens on the BX now that he's got that zero turn LOL.
It gos to fast that's why I don't like zero turn mower. I have driven one it went to fast for me you can't plow with it. I like kubota bx tractors. It's easy for me to drive. The mower deck is easy to put on . I been doing every spring . So it's easy. I know you said it's hard to put on . You have a 60 deck not a 54 mower deck. In are family we have a kubota bx and my uncle has a kubota bx I have a kubota bx1880 with rck54 mower deck. It's easy to put on because the rck54 mower deck is easy. To put on and take off. I think the rck54 mower deck would been easier for you not the 60 mower deck . I been happy with the rck54 mower deck when I was buying a kubota bx1880. I was think what mower deck to buy I thought the rck48 mower deck but I would been mower for a while. So I heard when you buy a kubota bx1880 with a rck54 mower deck the price would be cheaper when you bought it. I said rck54 mower deck would do they said I your sure you want the rck54 mower deck I said yes because we have kubota bx with rck54 mower deck and it would be quicker cut the grass. I love my rck54. Mower deck. Last summer. I mow the grass with it I love it cut the leaves in the fall. Did great. Better than cub cadet xt2. Dose pick up leaves I hate it because it doesn't chopped the leaves up in the bagger. The kubota bx1880 bagger does chopped leaves it bigger than cub cadet bagger 2 bags kubota bags 3 bags the kubota bagger fit more leaves in it than cub cadet bagger you have to dump them more.
One BX for you and one zero turn for her 😅
