Im looking at a ZG 327 with 500 hours that has the Kabota with a KGZ 770? Have you heard anything about this gas kubota model engine good or bad...? Thank you
I have no idea if it is any good. Orangetractortalks.com has a lot about different models. I know the Kubota/ Subaru motor in my sidekick is total junk. Thanks for watching.
Love the "FJB" badging. Whatever your take is, on it, I know what mine is. Very surprised by the hydraulic oil fill and fuel fill looking quite similar. How long before someone confuses the two? Fuel in the hydraulic tank, would be a problem for sure. I enjoy your videos. Be well.
I put them on every vehicle we own. Had enough of him. With the seat down it would be hard to confuse. Good to haave then visible should a leak ever develop. Thanks for watching.
Great looking property! I feel your pain about cleaning up that tree - we had an ice storm here in Texas this past winter and it took out lots of large limbs. I was very sore after the cleanup. Love the content, thanks!
Thanks. We had major wind storms this spring and many of my EAB killed ash trees are laying in the woods. I have been cleaning up for weeks. I lost all my muscle mass after my second covid vaccine and can't build it back so bending over with a chainsaw is very painful now. I justtake my time. Thanks for watching.
Hi Ed. Zero turns really are time savers. I have halved my mowing time in half. I'm 75 and would rather spend more time in doing other things (RECLINER?) than additional time mowing lawns. I have a JD Z545R with 60" deck. I had been using a tractor and groom 60" mower. The zero turn lower center of gravity makes it less apt to tip over on side hills. Also, it cuts down considerably on tractor hours use for additional longevity, frequency of maintenance, etc. Other than the cash outlay (and having to maintain and store two machines (but at twice the interval times), for me it is a win situation. .... As a side note: (in our prior discussions) my Beelink is still doing exceptional, so much so that I bought a twin for bedroom smart tv. Hope you and your family are all doing well.
Definitely speeds the top up but have found it's no good for the hill or bottom section that's always wet. Still need the BX for those areas. Front casters reallly can make it squirrely on the hill when one wheel slips. My Beelink box still works great and I have been thinking about another to upgrade my cnc plasma machine if I can find a good usb to parallel port adapter thats compatible with mach 32. The old xp box wouldn't boot up thr other day. Thanks for watching.
From one un-employed Red-Neck to another- If you have a warranty claim, the entity honoring the warranty is the manufacturer. I recommend you follow the manufacturer's warranty and not your "dealer's advice". Changing the oil after 8 hours is needed to get the engine hot so the assembly grease, preservative elements, and any other contaminants are removed from the internal engine parts. All of the greases and fluids used in the assembly of the engine are entrained within the engine oil so they want you to drain and refill with clean oil. The filter traps particulates including metal shavings, carbon, sand, etc. It doesn't trap the substances entrained in the oil, so that's why you don't need to remove and replace the filter at 8 hours.
I have always changed the filter when changing the break in oil. Really wonder why Kubota doesn't call for it while other manufacturers do. If dealer says for longest life change it because there's break in oil in the filter that will contaminate the new oil I do. Thanks for watching
@@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023 I'm a airplane mechanic with FAA inspection authorization. There are two types of piston engine oil: Ashless dispersant and mineral oil. Mineral oil is used for break-in and allows the rings to seat to the cylinder walls and the bearings to conform to the races. Ashless dispersant contains additives that increase lubricity and prevent wear. If you used AD oil to break in, the rings and cylinder walls would take much longer to properly seat to one another and you would not get the power/performance. Manufacturers that say to change the filter at break-in probably want to make money along with the dealers on filter sales and don't want to answer phone calls asking "why not change the filter?" I got lazy about 35 years ago and took the Toyota dealer up on their "free first oil change". They wrote on the repair ticket that they changed the filter. When I looked over their work, they hadn't changed the filter. When I asked them why, the Service Manager showed me in the Toyota manual where Toyota says to change only the oil at break in. Then he said it's easier to write on the repair ticket that they changed the filter because the customers ask why they didn't change the filter.
You are correct about the oil for a Kaw I got the whole kit for my JD X570 Kaw motor as the kit was $89,00 but you get the oil, oil filter, air filter, gas filter and 2 spark plugs. Would been a bit more at the JD Dealer. So I got the Kaw maintenance kit that way using the correct stuff for a Kaw.
That's a good way to do the big services. Actually the first oil change is only supposed to be the oil buy my dealer says the filter should be replaced also. I guess all Kawasaki engines need the zinc in the oil for long life so it's best to use OEM oil. Thanks for watching.
Great job showing and telling, never had a zero turn thinking about getting one be fun i wood think they different they say than riding them with sterling wheel . Them zero turn mowers riding lots of different turn around in one spot. Well thanks for showing telling great job showing you have a good one will see ya next time see ya bye.
It definitely has a nice cut and is fast. The biggest issue I have found is it is rigid with noflex in any axle so uneven areas make it a 3 wheeler. I may look at something like the Ferris next that has travel in the front axles so it's not tippy and scalping on my rough lawn. Thanks for watching.
I've had one of these for 2 years now, approaching 200 hours. It is a marvelous machine, like a high powered go kart. I have lots of steep hillsides, and have gotten more comfortable every season and can do more as I get better at it (and more bold). My property is varied and uneven and I work the heck out of this thing. My deck looks different than yours, I don't think I have those bolt heads on the outside edge like you showed, but maybe... I have had one, maybe two mechanical issues: the gas gauge died, had to take it for a warranty replacement. Also, the seat is great, but the knob seems to turn weirdly now, I'm not sure if it is broken or not. I will go to the dealer at some point and look at a new one to determine if mine is working properly. This thing is an absolute hoot.
I think the older ones had a 7 gauge deck and different bolt configuration. This one has been cheapened down to 8 gauge with a 10 gauge top from what I read. Raise prices and cheapen stuff seeme to be common these days. All that hardware along with the added ribs to strengthen the thinner materials really catch clippings and make it a real pain to scrape clean. Mows great but my hill is over a 15 degree slope that is bad for these engines and the bottom is wet so the BX still is needed. Thanks for watching
Big wood handle wire brush works on cleaning bolts inside the deck , I use a grassbuster deck cleaning tool, also. You you bought one of the best models they make. Mines a Z412, love it.
Those in facing bolts are a real pain. I use several different masonary trowels. The offset handles work best for me. This mower is awesome and now that I am comfortable driving it, it's fast with a perfect cut. It is a gass hog but worth it for the time saved mowing. Thanks for watching.
Here’s a tip. When I got my Hustler, I immediately bought a thick durable rubber mat to put on the foot rest deck. 3 years later and no paint removed from wear. If I ever get another one it will probably be a Kubota
That's a great idea. Hopefully Kubota will go back to the 7 ga deck without all the hardware someday and I'll trade this in for another Kubota. Thanks for watching.
Question do you know if your new mower would be any good on steep hills going down? I have been wanting to get one but I am worried if it would slide down the hill.
No it's not. Over a 15 degree angle is not recommended for the engines and I can't get back up my hill if it's damp. I still need the Kubota BX for mowing my hill and damp bottom area around the pond. Thanks for watching.
It has been a great mower so far. Sucks about 2 gallons of gas an hour and with my rough yard really rides rough but the seat absorbs most of it. Cuts nice and is fast. Not cheap to service the parker drives with $20 a quart oil. Good mower but wouldn't buy it again. I would look for one with suspension as 4 solidly fixed wheels ride terrible on rough uneven ground. Thanks for watching.
Ed, is the parking brake to drive status a mechanical link or electrical? If electrical, it should be easy to unplug and mod so that you can engage the parking brake on a hill while having the drive motors engaged. I modded my old mower back in the day so that I could let it run while not sitting on the seat. If I needed to get off and move something, I had to restart. Just unhooked one wire and now I can idle it down and get off as needed. On mine it did not effect the safety interlock for blades in motion or in gear which are a no brainer. I thought the wok pan to hold the oil was hilarious!
Not sure about that but am going to possibly put an override switch in if it's electrical. Definitely need the seat switch and seat belt I found out when trying to make a fast 180 that almoet threw me off. I inherit all my wifes old pots and they are great oil catch pans. Thanks for watching.
Hi 👋, It looks like you have a great property, and keeping you busy, it looks very well maintained, glad to hear 👂 that Kabota is working well, Just a shame about the Niggli little thing that is wrong with it ie bolts and studs, is it possible to use a pressure washer underneath, Stay safe, keep up the great work, PHIL FROM THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOULIN FRANCE,
Thanks. It definitely works great. Can't believe all the hardware sticking into the deck making cleaning hard on such an expensive mower. Thinking about trying to switch to flat head bolts this winter. Not supposed to pressure wash decks with sealed bearing spindles because seals can be damaged and watre can enter the bearings with no way to grease. Thanks for watching.
@@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023 , Hi 👋 yes i did not think about the bearings and seals 🦭, sorry wrong seals, good idea 👍 changing bolts and studs, I presume you’ll be using stainless steel, or coated . Good luck with that , it might of been a good idea to had liner in side of the deck so nothing stick to it, or built in such a way so no protrusions in the in side , I hope it all goes well for you, Stay safe, I look 👀 forward to your Adventure with TIN-TIN , 👍😂🍷PHIL FROM THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOULIN
I just got a notice about an electrical recall. They have to replace the voltage regulator. This one works pretty good but sucks about 2 gallons of gas an hour. Hopefully that goes down with more hours. Thanks for watching.
I do the every last drop for everything. You're not alone. I make sure ever piece of dog food comes out of the 50LB bag. Ever single one. Every single chicken pellet. Every single frosted flake. I tip the hose up at the gas station. I always wondered about many Lbs. of dog food, chicken feed, cereal, etc. is wasted, per year. Probably enough for me and 1000 others to have it for free, forever. Maybe 10000. Who knows. Nothing wrong with being a bit anal over something you paid for and don't want to waste. PS: I like your pace and patience. Better way to live and probably live longer.
It's nice to see someone else who makes sure everything is used up. We had very little growing up and my mom never wasted anything that seems to have rubbed off on me. Thanks for watching.
I am going to ask for $6500.00. A new one is $9500.00 with the tarp now and this is still like new with less then 300 miles on it. Thanks for watching.
Not quite running full throttle yet and got the top 4 acres down to 1 hour 3 minutes yesterday. Started out at 1 1/2 hours so I definitely am getting better. Going to have to do the hill and bottom with the BX though. Really cuts nice and no longer scared of it. Thanks for watching.
No I don’t agree. My neighbor has a big expensive Ferris and even with sharp blades the cut is not smooth and even. I think it has to do with the suspension being on the front wheels allowing the deck to dive at every little bump instead of the suspension seat that does not affect the deck height. This one has a very flat cut even on my rough ground. Thanks for watching,.
@@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023 i agree with this, i just purchased a new hustler fastrak and have been thru hell and back trying to get it to cut correctly, i think the dealer is going to buy it back, fingers crossed. with all the technology of today, we should start seeing some better deck designs.
@Unemployed Redneck Hillbilly Creations rpm is set as well as deck pitch. Waiting on dealer to respond about buying it back. Hustler said this cut quality is acceptable.
I wish I looked at different mowers before buying a Kubota Z726X what a pos this mower turned out to be. Only has 300.3 Hours on it and I have changed two coils, the Fuel pump, Starter, and one spindle. Cost me over 12k and I was going to trade it in and they were only going to give me 4300.00 for it. Never again Kubota for a lawn mower-Love my L3901 Tractor the mower sucks.
Wow, I love mine but it only has about 30 hours so far. First trouble I have heard of with this mower. I am having serious fuel contamination issues with my new Sidekick and will probably not touch another Kubota ever if it is not fixed right. I think their quality fell big time during the pandemic just like many other manufacturers and it's starting to show up now. Thanks for watching.
@@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023 I think your right about quality. My 1100c side by side is setting at the dealership more than at my house.. Fuel issues of some sort. I was looking at their z726 pretty hard but after all the lies and bs I've put up with I'm probably gonna pass on getting a kubota. I've been running a hustler fastrak sd for 10 years and thought it might be about time to find a smoother riding machine.
That’s another drawback with a zero turn, it can get stuck easy. They go so fast that if your on an incline going downhill just a little and hit reverse too fast you’ll spin and won’t be able to stop it. So just be careful. I love them way more then conventional mower’s but they can be dangerous because of their speed.

i find most zero turns or lawnmowers in fact are only as good as how sharp the blades are lol
No I don’t agree. My neighbor has a big expensive Ferris and even with sharp blades the cut is not smooth and even.

That’s another drawback with a zero turn, it can get stuck easy.

I love them way more then conventional mower’s but they can be dangerous because of their speed.
