  • I've teased it for a while, but it's finally here! Took delivery of my new 2024 Kubota Z412KW-48 Zero Turn Mower. In this video, we do a full overview of the Z411/Z412, as well as info on the Z421/Z422 and Z242. I'll also cover my purchasing logic and sales experience.

    Great walkthrough of your new amazing Kubota zero-turn, congrats Chris 👍🏻. It's a sweet looking machine 🤤😂. I'm glad to see Kubota cut out an opening for the oil change. I watched Don @Don before dawn and he has the Toro zero turn and he did an oil change on his last video and he had to buy a 2ft piece of tubing to get the oil to flush in a bucket. Congrats again Chris and have a great Sunday 👍🏻🙋🏼‍♂🙂

      Thanks for watching Luc. I agree on the oil change. There was no way to change the oil on the Toro Timecutter that I just sold without making a God-awful mess! I am really loving this thing so far! Cheers! 🍻👍😎

    Congrats, Chris! That is a really nice machine. I like lots of the features - like the ability to see/add hydraulic fluid, the heavy duty deck with easy height adjustment. 4 year, 500 hour warranty is amazing! If I were you- I'd use that Kubota only on clean/dry days. Keep it clean by using the TIMECUTTER for wet and muddy mowing. :)

      Thanks Chad. So far, I love this thing! I really enjoyed my little Toro for the 17 years I had it, but holy cow, there's just no comparison. (Which you'd expect, of course, based on age, specs and price.) I listed the Toro on FB Marketplace and had about 50 responses in 24 hours. A guy drove all the way up to Richmond from Raliegh, NC to buy it! So...clean, dry days it is! 😉👍😎

    Great overview - I have the exact machine bought last year. I added a custom seat cover, trickle charging adapter to the battery, ball/chain loop tow mount, thick rubber floor mat and a Kubota maintenance lift jack to mine. I really enjoy using it, more than my tractor mower.

      Heck, my uncle bought a Scag belt drive 36" walk behind mower in 1989 because my cousin kept destroying riding mowers. That old Scag mower is still going, on the original Kohler Command 14HP engine and original transaxle, but its also gear drive not hydro....its been used hard too, cutting grass, weeds, blackberry bushes, brush, etc. on pretty steep hills and its still going. I put new blades and belts on it a couple years ago, and did a full tune up on it as well....then took it out and mowed a 3 acre pasture with it....took a while, but it did great.
      Spending a little more money on quality machine is the key to longevity, that and keeping up with regular maintenance.

    Very nice presentation Chris . I have been looking at zero turn mowers for some time. I looked at several brands and levels of mowers from residential to full out commercial. The one I decided on is the very mower you bought, the Z412 -48 . I like you have a relatively small yard. I don’t need it but I want it. Your video is just one more reason to pull the trigger. Thank you

    I have the Kubly’s GR2120 diesel lawn tractor.
    Mine has the 54 inch deck.
    Kubota has a very unique feature on that lawn tractor.
    They call it Glide Steer.
    It is a rod on each side that runs from the front axle to a clutch in the rear axle.
    When you make a tight turn, these rods will disengage the inside wheel and allow the 4 wheel drive from the front wheels to turn the tractor around in a very tight circle, actually making it a 3wd.
    It is a feature that works amazingly well.
    I think Kubota should be blowing their own horn much more over that feature.
    Brilliant design.

    • @watershedoverlook
      @watershedoverlook  Před měsícem

      Thanks for watching Gary. That steering sounds crazy! What a cool idea. You're right...seems like that's a system worth some horn-blowing!

    • @wildbill23c
      @wildbill23c Před měsícem +1

      I've seen some of those mowers, nobody really sells them in my area, dealers can order them but they don't stock them because nobody here is interested in a $13,000+ riding mower...they go sub-compact tractor, compact tractor, or zero turn LOL.
      The glide steer feature keeps you from tearing up the yard in a tight turn, great setup they came up with for that. Although, if I need 4WD to mow a lawn the landscaping needs to be redone LOL.

    • @watershedoverlook
      @watershedoverlook  Před měsícem +1

      I've probably got about 10 hours on it, and as far as I'm concerned it cuts fantastic. I've cut some tall stuff, as well as lawn grass and been happy with both. Like with any "tall stuff" (i.e. at the Overlook when I hadn't been there in about 5 weeks, grass was literally 24" tall in some places) you need to make a couple of passes because the grass just lays down. On "normal" cutting...it's miles ahead of my old Toro. I'm planning on a review once I've got a bit more hours under my belt.
