Hey I had Z125S for about a year, 93 hours, and had a few issues come up as well. A few things you may want to check IF you haven't already; Valve/plastic piece coming off the fuel tank that connects to fuel line easily clogs with debris, and could be switched "off" - although when I had this...

Hopefully the zd1000 series will hold up better than the z700s you described virginiavenom. Well I guess I'm hooked on orange. Taking delivery of a bx23s today. No mower since not needed but will have the standard bh and fel. Plus a 3pt and 4' box blade. Excited to use it and will be checking...

Hopefully I don't have those issues. At least at 2-3 hours per week during mowing season it should take me a while to reach 200 hours. Which identical model had all those problems? Among the other things, why were the blades changed weekly (is that customary in commercial operations)? Seems...

This is my new mower. Excellent so far. Fast and comfortable. My first diesel mower. Sounds great turning on and engaging the PTO. I think my next purchase will be the BX23S without MMM. Thanks for all the input.

Well I finally decided and I went with a ZD1021. Planning to buy a small tractor in the near future to go along with my mower.

Thanks for all of the opinions. After a lot thought I decided to get a new ZD1021. It's diesel, ZT, and has a 60" mower deck. If I went with the Z726x I would have been second guessing whether I should have gotten the diesel, and if I didn't get a 60" deck I would have wanted that as well. I...

It has been a few days, thought I would post some updates. I was finally able to get my Z125s running again. The problem was a mouse set up home under my engine cover. They had chewed through several electrical wires and probably most importantly, the spark plug-magneto connection. So, after...

Thanks for all of your opinions. One thing I may not have mentioned, which factors into my decision, is that I have a Kubota dealership very close to my home (< 5-6 miles). So, obtaining parts is very convenient, plus I would not have to travel far if service was needed. As for now I am stuck...

I am currently torn on a purchasing decision. Last year I bought a Z125s to replace a 17 year old JD lawn tractor. Initially the mower was great (nice cut, no problems). By the end of last season I put about 85 hours on it mowing my 4.5-5 acre yard. It also had several mechanical problems...
