Introduction
Kubota ZD326 Zero-Turn Mower
The Kubota ZD326 is a professional-grade zero-turn mower produced between 2007 and 2017. Designed for large-scale grounds maintenance, this machine combines a high-torque diesel engine with a hydrostatic transmission to provide precision and efficiency in commercial mowing applications.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by the Kubota D1005, a 3-cylinder liquid-cooled diesel engine. With a displacement of 1001 cc (61.1 ci), it produces 26 hp (19.4 kW) at a rated speed of 3200 RPM. This configuration provides the necessary power to drive the 60-inch mower deck effectively under varying load conditions.
Transmission and Drivetrain
The ZD326 utilizes a hydrostatic transmission, allowing for infinite forward and reverse speed control without manual gear shifting. The drivetrain features two-wheel drive with differential power steering, which, combined with the zero-turn capability, enables high maneuverability in restricted spaces.
Safety and Operator Environment
Operator safety is supported by a two-post foldable Roll-Over Protective Structure (ROPS). Braking performance is managed by wet disc brakes, which are integrated into the transmission system for longevity and consistent stopping power. The clutch system is also a hydraulic wet disc type, ensuring smooth engagement of the mid-PTO.
Dimensions and Chassis
With a wheelbase of 55.5 inches (140 cm) and an overall weight of 1700 lbs (771 kg), the ZD326 is balanced for stability on turf. The machine is equipped with lawn and turf tires sized 15x6.0-6 at the front and 26x12.0-12 at the rear, designed to minimize soil compaction while maintaining traction.
Conclusion
The Kubota ZD326 is engineered for professional landscapers and maintenance crews requiring a durable, high-capacity mowing solution. Its combination of a liquid-cooled diesel engine and a robust hydrostatic drivetrain makes it well-suited for demanding, long-duration turf management tasks.
