Kubota Expands Residential Mower Product Line: Introducing its Updated Z200 Zero-Turn Mowers

GRAPEVINE, Texas. (October 20, 2022) – Kubota Tractor Corporation introduces its updated Z200 Series of zero-turn mowers designed for the residential market. The mower series is comprised of three updated models: the Z232 with a 42-inch mower deck, and the Z242 and Z252 models are available with a 48-inch or 54-inch deck and either Kohler or Kawasaki engines. All mowers feature elements of Kubota’s new K-RIDE comfort system making mowing comfortable and enjoyable, whether it’s mowing for an hour or all-day, residential operators can mow like a pro. The Kubota Z200 Series is engineered for durability and designed for the demanding residential users. The updated models will be available at Kubota dealerships starting in January 2023.

“These mowers are perfect for homeowners with large properties or lawn to maintain that want a durable mower that mows like commercial mower, and will stand the test of time,” said Tom Vachal, Kubota senior turf product manager. “Some say our mowers are over-engineered for the residential market, and we wouldn’t have it any other way. That’s how Kubota has built its reputation, on durable, high-quality equipment and we keep that bar high across all product lines.”

Enhanced Residential Mowing Experience

The updated Z200 Series is designed for homeowners who prioritize performance. Depending on model, the Z200 Series offers a variety of options and features including foldable ROPS (on the Kawasaki engine model) for easy storage in any shed garage or barn; an adjustable suspension seat for improved comfort; a high strength steel mower deck; a convenient storage box with cover; as well as a push button start feature. This mower line comes standard with a 4-year, 300-hour warranty. With powerful engines, rugged transmissions, and strong frames, the Z200 Series is ready to tackle even the toughest residential mowing jobs.

K-RIDE ® Comfort System

Kubota has outfitted its updated Z200 Series with upgraded comfort system elements to reduce vibration and improve the operator experience – because whether you are mowing for one hour or all day, it should be comfortable and enjoyable. Depending on model, the Z200 Series offer features such as keyless start, a new high back suspension seat (on the Kawasaki engine model), new foot pan design with foot pan isolators to reduce vibration and a Kubota-exclusive lap bar design. While mowing, the K-Lift pedal allows the operator to easily adjust cutting height with its easy effort, one-push pedal. Plus, an updated HST lever is redesigned to reduce vibration. “Just stepping into the operator seat you feel the difference, and when you fire up and engage the mower, you appreciate the K-RIDE comfort system,” continued Vachal.

 Kubota’s updated Z200 mowers are being unveiled at 2022 Equip Expo and will be available at Kubota dealerships nationwide starting in January 2023. For more information and to find an authorized dealer near you please visit KubotaUSA.com.
