Our Story:
We are six years into a seven year effort of transforming 20 acres of "Piney Grove" in Northwest Florida into our dream homestead/mini farm to be filled with animals and joy. We plan to have a variety of miniature critters on our pastures, raise free-range chickens, grow fish in our pond, garden, plant fruit and nut trees, and harvest wild game. Our goal is to escape the stresses of corporate life and embrace all that country living has to offer as we enter the next chapter of our lives. Follow along on our journey!

I had a couple of Kubota dealers tell me that it is best to engage the PTO at less than half throttle and then throttle it up to full throttle to mow. They said it is easier on the internal PTO clutch. Great Mower. I have the ZD 326 60" that was replaced by the ZD 1211. It is a beast of a mower.

Wow nice new ride Deb! I love my zeroturn. Mine is an older Toro Timecutter 55". Try turning up the rpms to cut better, and I've found if you adjust the twin sticks, to find the perfect resting position to rest your arms on the armrests, and then only your fingertips need to touch the twin sticks, a lot more comfortable for long cutting sessions.

You are not wrong. We wanted a ZD1211 with 72" rear discharge but that's a unicorn right now. With pricing and supply chain issues, when this one came for sale at 1/2 the price of a new one with 66 hours, we jumped on it. Figured we could upgrade later and always get our money back out of this one. Thanks for watching.
had mine for 8 years and love it to death. Only issue is watch the heat level on hot days, easy fix clear the clippings and turn throttle down slightly

I bought a zd1011 and comp lift broke at 277 hours. Thats the lifter for the deck. Took the faulty Comp lift to a Mechanical Engineer advised the comp lift was not suitable to hold a 119kg deck. These machines not designed for heavy duty work.

That being a used zero turn; if you haven't already checked the sharpness of your blade, you might want to. I read somewhere, original equipment blades are thinner than some after market blades, and they wear out quicker. Glad Deb has her own Kubota now. Has she "named it" ? Enjoy the ride - tractor hard!
