kubota zd331

I was going to use the winter down time to retrofit an air suspension seat to the 331. The stock suspension seat is not very good and it slows me down during mowing. I am working on getting a Grammer seat base functional and using it on the mower. Turns out a wire was pinched inside the seat and...

I cut a huge steep hill with my ZD331. Ive done it 20 times this year with no issues. Cut it Monday and it would begin bucking and stalling at the bottom of of the hill and then after about 10-20 seconds it would recover. Whitish smoke and rough running. At first I thought the tanks must be low...

Hey guys looking to trade our ZD 331,a little apprehensive about the lower HP rating Anyone else make the switch and got an opinion please jump in Thanks

I have a very large HOA mowing contract which includes 35 acres of grass mowing, field mowing, brush cutting and 15 acres of hay to put into round bales. Anyway, lots of the mowing is along common roads in the development. I have to mow along the edges and also use the zero turn to blow off the...

So I took some quick measurements today and it sure looks like the 1511 seat will fit my 331 just dandy. I think I'm going to pull the trigger and order one. They sure ain't cheap, but less expensive than back surgery.

I just bought a ZD331 and put bar tires on it to improve traction. My dealer has an above average condition 2008 F-3680 with 1500 hours on it. Looks in about "B" condition (A-F). It was stored inside. He is asking a fair price and will fully service it. Could probably use tires. I demoed it in...

New owner of a zodiac 331 diesal kubota How do I put the trans into neutral Also I am in Michigan near Flint looking for a mechanic to check it out

TRying to some repairs under the control panel and the height adjustor knob does not seem to want to bugde....can not see any set screws or circlips that would prevent removal but if I use any more force it I think plastic will break. Tried visiting/searching the forum...a lot on green tractor...

I recall a discussion on replacement rear tires for zero turn mowers (mine is a zd331) but cannot find it. My issue is that the original turf tires don't have enough traction on wet grass. Can anybody help. Any advice is appreciated.

I have 6 A which is mostly flat but there is a 10' tall x 20' wide (appx) "property concealment" hill around 1/2 of the property. My buddy just bought 1 of 2 used 2013 ZD331's and I'm looking at the other used one in the morning. Has less than 200 hours and is for sale at a dealer for $9250...

Hi Everyone, I am looking at buying a used ZD331 but have a question about it shutting off when on an incline. Do these mowers have some sort of safety feature that shut it off when on a steep incline? Thanks.

Add me to the list of ZD owners with a failed exhaust manifold at 330 hours. A new exhaust manifold with a muffler that has the support bracket is $409. What an incredibly bad design on the early ZD mowers.

Looking at possibly purchasing a used ZD331 and would like to get a price check to see if the one i'm looking at is a fair deal. It is a 2009 Model with about 840 hours on it. Just looking at pictures of it, it looks to be in decent shape (not too beat up). Asking price is $8,500.00. Thanks...

I am going to be adding some lights to my ZD331 - the brighter, the better. The ZD331 It has a 14 amp dynamo. The light kit from Kubota consists of two halogen bulbs, likely 55w, meaning that some Kubota engineer thought that a 110W additional load was acceptable. Any idea what the maximum...

Hello, my father was using our ZD331 today. He pulled it up to the house and turned it off to add fuel. He went to restart it and nothing. We can hear something click when we turn the key. I have checked the petal switch, both arm switches, the fuses and relays under the seat and all good. Tried...

Considering trying a Kubota ZD326 or ZD331 with 60" rear discharge deck and was wondering if the cut grass gets under the ZD326 or ZD331. Do you Z owners have issues with cut grass packing under the machine, not the deck, but on/around the undercarriage?

I have my eyes on a ZD331 with a 60" deck, rear discharge. The prices have been very close and got to looking on the net and called around and can drive 1.5 hours and save $1286.00 dollars. I understand a dealer needing to earn a dollar but that's a lot of savings. While on the topic of rear...

Greeting everyone! Its been a while since I posted. I just acquired a new (old) ZD331. In going through it, I came across two things I can't figure out. Once is a set of lift arms that do not seem to have any current purpose, but look like they may have been part of an accessory or an...

Has anyone replaces the stock 26x12x12 tires with a wider ones? Say 26x14x12? I just picked up a used one and love the power but the thing weighs 700 lbs more then my older zero turn and its on the same width tire so it tends to leave ruts when it's wet. I'm guessing with a 2 inch wider tire I'd...

HI I have a fleet of ZD331s and I'm having a reoccuring problem with the centre hub of the front caster wheel failing with the hub being ripped out. This has happened to various unit with different operators with no obvious negligence so I was wondering if anyone else is having similar problems.

I'm enjoying my new ZD331! However, I have been cover to cover in the owner's manual and can not find any recommendation for greasing intervals. I know where all the zerks are, but how often should I feed the zerks? :confused:

Just picked up a 2012 ZD331 rear discharge from Cavalier International in Ashland, VA. Thank you Cavalier and my salesman, Luther Sims, for another great deal and more of your amazing customer service :thumbsup:. Can't wait to start cutting this weekend :D. BTW....Cavalier beat Barlow by $300...

I posted this in the lawn and garden but only received 2 responses so I'm trying here. I probably should have posted here first since it is about buying. I'm looking to buy a Z this month because of the rebates. I'm can't make up my mind between the two. I will be cutting 3.5 ac every week and 5...

I'm looking to purchase before March 31st because of the additional $300 customer instant rebate. I will be cutting 3.5 ac every week and 5 ac every other week. The grass is not thick and its fairly level ground. The price difference is about $1100. Probably will not be doing the interest free...

I bought a ZD331LP 72" in 2008, it was a demo sold to me as used with 200hrs on it however it retained its full warranty and I am the first registered owner. It now has 250hrs and I only use it to mow my place, no commercial use at all. It has been in my shead since last season, I went to pull...

any thoughts thxs

Not sure if I'm posting in the right place. If this is suppose to go in the lawn and garden, mods please move it. Anyway I ran across a 2010 ZD331 with a 60" cut and 65 hours. Owner is asking $10,200 for it. I have not seen it yet just talked to him on the phone. Does this sound like a good...

Does anyone (posting dealers especially) know if there are going to be any changes to the ZD 331 for 2012? I'm looking at a 60" rear discharge.That would mean price as well as design. I grow Christmas trees and my old side discharge Simplicity blows grass and debris all over the small seedlings...

Anyone know the model number for the Gator Mulching Blades on a ZD331 60" cut?

Looking for advice and opinions on the Kubota ZD331 mower with 72" deck. I'm mowing approximately 6 acres of lawn about twice a week. 5 acres are relatively flat and one acre is on hill side. I'm looking to spend less time mowing -- even considered contracting out the mowing. I stopped by...

Smacked tree with mine and broke the left housing.Anyone have a set they would part out? Checked with local dealer and they don't list the individual parts.

i noticed last night, when mowing my lawn, that the oil pressure light on my 331 is flickering on and off -- not consistently (like with a loose connection), but just oddly. i checked the oil level, it's fine -- -- thoughts? the unit has 53 hours on it, and is running mobil1 turbo-diesel...

i can't find my manual -- :| does anyone know how many shims are "up top" and how many are "down below" for a 4" deck height? THANKS! ps - i know this thread will prob. be crickets-chirping, but it was worth a shot -- :laughing::laughing::laughing:

Just purchased a new ZD331 and want to keep informed. :thumbsup:

Hi Group, Getting a ZD331 and I want to get your thoughts on the rear discharge deck 60" model over the 60" side discharge deck models? Also, your thought how it is on hills? Thanks.

I have a '07 ZD331 with the 72" deck financed through my local credit union. When I bought it I put down a hefty down payment so I currently owe $3500.00. Well I called the credit union today to add a little $$ on top of the loan and they won't do it without a published book value. I know the...

The ZD331 has stops welded onto the frame on both sides - looks like they're meant to keep the axle tube from getting sprung backwards. The left side of the axle on mine starting banging against the stop at 60 hours. The solution was to tighten the bolt on the pivot pin - not sure how it would...

I am starting the 50 hour service on a ZD331. The owner's manual indicates that the transmission oil filter gets replaced at 50 hours and refers to page 62 for details. Page 62 shows TWO filters - both called transmission oil filters - making me wonder if I'm supposed to change one or both...
