    ZD326 w/2435 hrs, Is it worth the $$$$'s

    The start up smoke is no problem. I wouldn't think the control lever feel is wear or loose adjustment bolt. It's got to have some wear As to value, that's up to you. I would offer less. Those high hours will scare many away As to the ZD21 vs ZD326P, a huge difference in engine power and the...

    ZD326 w/2435 hrs, Is it worth the $$$$'s

    Well it makes me feel good that they have that service in them. My 2011 ZD326P has 425 hrs on it now. I think I’m good for awhile, until I just want something else. To your question on longevity, it all depends on maintenance of the unit. Oil and filter changes, cooling system, greasing and...

    2008 Kubota RTV 400 efi

    Re: 2008 Kubota RTV 400 efi Will Not Start! I’m guessing a safety switch is the issues. Double check them all. Put a test light on the small wire to the starter solenoid and see if it lights up when key is turned to start. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    L3830HST Clutch safety switch adjustment

    My 2006 L3830 wouldn’t start and display said “CLUTCH”. So I looked to find the switch and check for loose connection etc. I saw the stop bolt but couldn’t budge it. I took the rubber bumper off the stop bolt and it started. I guess that’s how I got enough adjustment on the bolt to make the...

    What is the best engine oil?

    I use T6 in my Kubota diesels. 5W40 in my RTV and L3830 because they are used year round in all temps. I use 15W40 in my ZD 326 mower for summer use. The most important lesson is keep it changed with a good quality oil of the right classification and use high quality filters. Sent from my...

    Considering new ZD1211-72

    I have a ZD326P and mowed with it since 2012. It’s been great, almost 400 trouble free hours now. I run G6 blades on my mower and really like them. Only downside to these are the weight when mowing soft ground, just common sense. Enjoy your machine, it will take good care of you Sent from...

    ZD1211 Gearbox

    I use full synthetic oil in my ZD326P. I can’t remember what weight I use. It doesn’t hold much and I believe they need watched and maintained. It’s a pricy repair if the bottom seal fails and it goes dry. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    ZD326 Grease Fitting Access

    My ZD326 was purchased in 2012 and the zerk is on the side of the spindle housing. Easily accessible on each side without removing anything. It’s located under pulley Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Kubota RTV excessive shaking

    I installed the hand throttle kit on my X1120. You can set the idle up while stopped or if you want maximum power while pulling something heavy you can set the engine to half or three quarters throttle and it acts just like a hydro tractor. The “accelerator” pedal will just control the...

    2008 rtv 900 slow

    I have the RTV X1120, it has the same engine as the cab version, 24.8 HP. It will go 29 MPH on a good day. As stated earlier these are not designed for speed but are for work. If that’s not what you need or want there are plenty of alternatives on the market. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Kubota RTV XG850 Sidekick Experience?

    I’m sorry for your dissatisfaction with your Sidekick. I love my 1120D but I’m on flat ground at sea level. At least with your sidekick you can’t blame the transmission as it is a CVT like the other brands you mention. I think you are on the right track. The engine needs more performance by...

    A Bit of a RANT

    I think when I bought my L3830 in 2006 a block heater was $50. The dealer installed it prior to delivery. The most time consuming part is draining the coolant and refilling. I know, I know some don’t drain it, just leave the cap on and do it fast. I know the mess I would make so I drain it on...

    Not a good way to keep customers. Have a word with the owner, not a peon in the shop. Give them a chance to do the right thing. Document In writing the facts, dates, times, names before your sit down Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
