KUBOTA Z2-481 Zero-Turn Mower

Zero-turn mowers offer high levels of performance and exceptional manoeuvrability, and the Kubota Z2 481 is up there with the best. So, if you have a large lawn, and value qualities like comfort, safety and reliability, this is the zero-turn rider for you.

Overview of the Kubota Z2 481 Ride On Mower

The Kubota Z2 481 Rider is a residential zero-turn mower that offers professional levels of performance. It is powered by a Kawasaki 726 cc air-cooled petrol engine, with a maximum power output of 16.3 kW (21.8 hp). The top forward speed is 13 km/h (8 mph), 6.3 km/h (3.9 mph) in reverse. This engine is completely compliant with the EU’s strict Stage 5 emissions directive.

The Kubota Z2 481 also features a push-button start and hydrostatic transmission, which boosts performance, increases reliability, and ensures precise control of the machine. The Power Take Off (PTO) drive system is powered by an electromagnetic clutch, ensuring smooth (dis)engagement of the blades.

The Cutter Deck

This superb zero-turn mower is fitted with a wide 122 cm (48-inch) side discharge cutting deck. It has a cutting height of between 38 and 114 mm, which can be adjusted in 6 mm increments using a dial system.

An Ergonomically Designed Riding Mower

The Kubota Z2 481 Ride On Lawn Mower benefits from a grouped control console, which is set at the perfect angle for the operator. It features Kubota’s K-Ride Comfort System too, so you can set the ride suspension to suit.

This zero-turn mower also comes with padded drive levers, a conveniently located, secure drinks holder, and covered storage space – perfect for when you’re spending prolonged periods of time behind the levers.

And typical of Kubota, this isn’t just any old driver’s seat. No, far from it. Deep padded and fully adjustable, it comes with a 21-inch backrest, armrests, and plenty of legroom – ideal for when there’s lots of mowing to be done.

Anti-Vibration Dampeners

In keeping with this ergonomic design, the Kubota Z2 481 Mower’s floor plate is mounted on rubber dampers, which stop any vibrations being felt in the comfort of the driver’s seat. The drive levers are also fitted with anti-vibration technology to prevent discomfort to your hands.

Rollover Protection Structure

This premium zero-turn mower includes a Rollover Protection Structure (ROPS) and seat belt to ensure you remain safe when working on inclines.

Should you be mowing underneath low-hanging branches or require a space-saving storage solution, you’ll find the ROPS simple to fold down.

What Is Operator Presence Control?

Operator Presence Control ensures that if you leave your seat with the PTO deck drive still running, the mower’s engine will come to a stop. You will then need to disengage the PTO drive switch before the machine will restart.

Further Safety Features

The Kubota Z2 Zero Turn Ride On Mower is also fitted with a bumper bar to protect the rear end of the machine from accidental damage.

And while the drive levers are used for regular braking, the parking brake locking lever is highly effective when performing an emergency stop.

The Benefits of an Hour Meter

The hour meter keeps an accurate record of the Kubota Z2 Ride On’s running time. This will help you schedule its maintenance and service requirements far more effectively.

Easy Maintenance

As the floor plate is straightforward to remove, you can gain easy access to the deck drive belts, should you wish to inspect them or carry out maintenance work.

More Key Stats

Weighing 391 kg, the Kubota Z2 481 measures 2,006 mm in length, 1,207 mm in width (without the mower deck), and 1,738 mm in height (with ROPS upright).

Its fuel tank has a capacity of 16 litres.

A Versatile Zero Turn Mower

We sell a mulching kit as an optional extra, for use with this riding mower. This gives you the option of returning finely cut grass clippings to your lawn to act as a nutrient-rich mulch.

And thanks to its towing hook, you can extend this ride-on mower’s versatility even further by attaching a trailer.
