Can some people give me some feedback about this series from personal use? How are they holding up. Do you like them? Etc.

Guess I need to go with a 200 or 300 series then. With no one giving any comments my question is answered.

They are new. They haven't been out there long enough to know how well they hold up, but the specs on them are great. Would be my top choice if I were buying kubota.

They have an offer out right now of $1000 off and 0% financing for 52 months.

I own a Z723 that I use on 2.5 acres.

I did a lot of research before going with the Z723. The Parker hydros were a big selling point for me. The $1000 rebate and 0% were just the clincher.

I've owned my own homes and have been mowing for nearly 30 years and so far this is the best cut I have seen. 8ga 6" deep deck is tremendous. It can be a risk to buy something in its first model year, but I don't think Kubota is putting forth any "new" technology here, so I am confident that I made the right choice. Only time will tell if I am correct.

Thanks for the replies. My buddy, Kubota salesman at the local dealer, called me Friday and said he had just got a ZG227 traded in. I went by and picked up to demo for the weekend. I am probably gonna keep it. It is in good shape and it did a fine job cutting Saturday.

Yes, I put one on and it helped a bunch, something that Kubota should of done some these places are so rough any mower may beat you to death I usually brushhog most of them the first time.

Kubota has a suspension seat as a option I think is $300 or so

Just to give an update, I ended up getting a ZG327.

I have a kubota Z725. It's been in the shop twice since about may. First a hydraulic pump failure issue that took a couple weeks for them to fix and now a carburetor issue that has taken another week and the dealer still has yet to get the part from kubota. So when the machine is running it's great. But if there's an issue plan on being without a mower for a week or two while kubota take their sweet time shipping the part out.

My next purchase will not be a kubota for this reason.

Man that sucks. There can be issues with any new mower. Every factory has a few lemons get past them. I hope they get your mower squared away soon and you don't have anymore issues.

Thanks. Ya I know everything can have a few issues. That's y there's a warranty. but I'd expect repairs to be done in a timely fashion not necessarily overnight but maybe a few days if a part needs ordered specially if still under warranty. Why does it take a week just for the dealer to receive the part to fix it? I dont understand how they have such bad customer service. So far 2/2 times within a 6 month period

I used to do warranty work and the good manufacturers would stand by there products and if anything went wrong they would overnight or at least a 2 day shipping of parts to us so we could get the machine working as fast as possible to keep the customer happy and keep them as a customer. My impression of kubota so far is they would rather save a few bucks in shipping than keep me as a customer.

Sorry for the rant, I'm trying to give kubota the benefit of the doubt here cause I've heard good things that's y I purchased one. but what I have heard vs what I've experienced isn't the same.

Has anyone else had issues with getting something fixed on kubota equipment?

Lol, I can understand your frustration, but you have to remember that these particular mowers are a new series, so they haven't had time to stock parts at the dealerships for them. I would be just as upset as you are if it were happening to me though.
