Other Specifications

• A three-cylinder, 28-horsepower diesel engine with water cooling powers the two-wheel drive Kubota ZD28 Zero Turn lawn mower. Late models of this mower feature a 72-inch cutting deck, while early models of the ZD28 from 2003 and 2004 have a 60-inch cutting deck, which may slightly reduce the machine's weight. The ZD28 features a suspension seat and a front oscillating axle with a built-in jack. Like all of Kubota's machines, the ZD28 sports the company's characteristic orange and black finish.
