Power and Efficiency from a Proven Kubota Engine

At the heart of the FC3-221E lies Kubota’s own D902 three-cylinder diesel engine, a compact yet powerful 898cc unit delivering 22 hp. This engine is renowned across the turf industry for its high torque, low noise output, and exceptional fuel economy. Combined with hydrostatic transmission (HST), it delivers smooth, efficient power to both the mower deck and suction turbine.

A 30-litre fuel tank provides long operating intervals, reducing the need for refuelling during the working day. The fully independent PTO ensures maximum driveline efficiency, transferring power to the mower deck without unnecessary losses.

Smooth Control and Effortless Operation

The HST transmission allows infinitely variable speeds up to 6.8 mph (11 km/h) forwards and 3.8 mph (6 km/h) in reverse. The rocker-style pedal makes controlling speed and direction easy and intuitive, letting you adapt instantly to changing terrain.

Hydraulic power steering and a soft-grip wheel also keep you firmly in control—the latter featuring a turning knob for tight, responsive manoeuvres. Whether you’re trimming along edges or turning in confined spaces, handling remains smooth and precise.

Exceptional Front-Mounted Cutting Performance

The FC3-221E riding mower features a front-mounted mower deck, giving the operator a clear, unobstructed view of the whole cutting area. This layout is especially useful for reaching beneath low branches or into tight spaces that would challenge a conventional mid-mounted mower. The deck design also helps the machine follow undulating ground with high levels of precision, ensuring an even, professional-quality cut.

With a choice of three decks, Kubota offers impressive flexibility to suit varied mowing applications. The rotary decks, available in 44 inches (112 cm) or 50 inches (126 cm), use twin rotors each with two overlapping blades for a uniform, clog-free cut. Cutting height can be adjusted between 20 and 80 mm by a single lever and hydraulic power.

Alternatively, the 43-inch (110 cm) flail deck provides outstanding performance in tall or rough grass. You can purchase a mulching kit, vacuum hose, and snow blade as optional extras for even greater versatility.

Efficient Grass Collection with High-Dump System

This FC3-221E Kubota mower features a 600-litre grass collector, large enough to handle extensive mowing sessions without frequent stops. A motor-driven load distributor spreads clippings evenly throughout the collector, while a tank-full indicator prevents overfilling. When it’s time to empty, the high-dump discharge system can be raised and tipped with a single lever, depositing cuttings cleanly into a trailer or onto a compost pile.

The suction turbine, positioned centrally for balance, ensures cut material travels a short, direct path from the deck to the collector. This innovative Kubota design improves efficiency and reduces blockages, even in damp conditions.

Operator Comfort and Ergonomic Design

Kubota has designed the FC3-221E ride on mower with operator comfort firmly in mind. A deluxe suspension seat with armrests and high backrest reduces fatigue during long working days. The tilting steering wheel can be adjusted to suit each driver’s preference, while all key controls are located conveniently beside the seat for easy access.

A clear LCD display provides essential operating information at a glance, including fuel level, oil pressure, battery status, working hours, and warning indicators. Full lighting equipment ensures safe operation even in low light, extending productivity into early mornings or evenings.

Safety and Reliability You Can Trust

The FC3-221E Kubota ride on mower includes a foldable ROPS frame and an operator presence safety system that disengages the driveline automatically when the seat is vacated. Kubota’s longstanding reputation for safety and reliability is evident in every component, offering complete peace of mind for professional and domestic users alike.

Easy Maintenance and Full Engine Access

Routine servicing is made simple with complete engine compartment access. Raising the high-tip collector reveals the entire power unit, allowing safe and convenient maintenance. Safety latches keep the collector securely raised, ensuring a stable working environment during checks or servicing.
