High-Quality Mowing with the Kubota Z2 481 Ride On

The Kubota Z2 481 Ride On Mower has been designed for homeowners who want commercial-grade results. With its zero-turn steering and robust build, it makes large-scale lawnmowing jobs simpler, smoother, and far more enjoyable.

At its heart is a powerful Kawasaki 726 cc air-cooled petrol engine, known for its reliability and consistent performance. This engine offers a maximum output of 21.8 hp (16.3 kW), giving you the muscle you need to tackle wide-open lawns with ease. It’s also fully compliant with the EU Stage 5 emissions regulations, ensuring clean operation without compromising on power.

With a forward speed of up to 8 mph (13 km/h) and a reverse speed of 3.9 mph (6.3 km/h), you can get a lot more done in much less time, while maintaining full control of the mower.

Easy Starts and Smooth Operation

The Kubota Z2 481 mower features a push-button ignition, making it quick and simple to start. It also comes equipped with hydrostatic transmission, which removes the need for gear changes.

The Power Take Off (PTO) system uses an electromagnetic clutch for blade engagement. This ensures the cutting blades engage and disengage smoothly and reliably.

Wide Cutting Deck for Maximum Coverage

The Z2 481 is fitted with a robust cutting deck measuring 48 inches (122 cm). This wide deck means fewer passes are needed, saving you time when mowing large areas.

You can choose a cutting height between 3.8 cm and 11.4 cm, adjustable in precise 0.6 cm increments via an easy-to-use dial. This allows you to achieve your desired finish every time, whether you’re maintaining a tidy lawn or tackling longer grass.

Comfort-Focused Design

The Kubota Z2 481 ride on lawn mower has been designed with operator comfort in mind. It features a control panel angled towards the driver for easy access. All functions are grouped neatly together, so operation feels intuitive and natural.

Kubota’s K-Ride Comfort System allows users to fine-tune ride suspension to their own needs, while soft, padded drive levers are included for your benefit too.

You’ll also find a handy cup holder and covered storage compartment – ideal for keeping essentials safe and within reach.

And when it comes to the seat, it’s fully adjustable, deep-padded, and includes a tall 21-inch (53 cm) backrest, along with armrests and plenty of leg space. Therefore, you’ll remain comfortable no matter how long the job takes.

Advanced Anti-Vibration Features

Excessive vibrations can present a problem with some machines, but not with the Kubota Z2 481 Ride On. Its floor panel is mounted on rubber dampers to reduce vibration transmission, while the drive levers also include anti-vibration technology to protect your hands.

Built-In Rollover Protection

For added peace of mind, the Kubota Z2 Zero Turn Ride On Mower includes a Rollover Protection Structure (ROPS). Combined with the seatbelt, this keeps you safe when working on uneven or sloped ground.

The ROPS can be folded down, making it easy to work under trees or store the machine in a low-roof shed or garage.

Operator Presence Control – A Smart Safety Feature

The mower features Operator Presence Control too. So, if you leave your seat while the blades are engaged, the engine will automatically shut off. This prevents accidents and ensures safe operation at all times. Before restarting, the PTO switch must be disengaged, adding another layer of safety.

Further Protection and Stopping Power

The Kubota Z2 481 Ride On Mower includes a rear bumper bar to guard against impact damage.

The intuitive drive levers act as brakes in normal use, while the separate parking brake lever allows for emergency stops when needed.

Track Time with the Hour Meter

Maintenance is made easier thanks to the built-in hour meter, which tracks how long the machine has been running. This makes it easier to plan routine servicing and maximise the life of your mower.

Easy to Maintain

Servicing is straightforward, thanks to the easily removable floor plate. This gives clear access to the deck belts and inner components, making inspections and repairs hassle-free.
