The Kubota Z422 is a zero-turn mower designed for residential and light commercial turf maintenance. Introduced as part of the Z400 series starting in 2020, this machine is engineered for high maneuverability and efficient cutting performance.
Engine and Power
The Z422 is powered by a 24 hp (17.9 kW) air-cooled, vertical-shaft V-Twin gasoline engine. With a displacement of 726 cc (44.3 ci) and a two-cylinder configuration, the engine provides the necessary torque for consistent mowing performance. It features a 12-volt electric starter for reliable ignition.
Transmission and Drive System
The mower utilizes a Hydro-Gear ZT3600 belt-driven hydrostatic transmission. This system provides infinite forward and reverse speed control, allowing the operator to adjust ground speed precisely. Power is delivered to the rear wheels via a two-wheel-drive configuration, paired with power steering to facilitate the zero-turn capability.
Mowing Deck and PTO
The unit is equipped with a 54-inch mower deck designed for wide cutting coverage. It features an independent mid-mounted power take-off (PTO) system, engaged via an electric clutch, which allows for smooth and controlled activation of the cutting blades.
Chassis and Dimensions
Built on a 49.4-inch wheelbase, the Z422 has an overall length of 80.9 inches and a width of 48.7 inches. The machine weighs 918 lbs (416 kg) and includes a two-post folding Roll-Over Protective Structure (ROPS) to enhance operator safety. The front track is 37.2 inches, and the rear track is 39.4 inches, riding on specialized lawn and turf tires to minimize ground pressure.
Conclusion
