"Superior turning and exceptional traction" also distinguish the mower, the company says.
With a 1.2m (48in) rear-discharge deck, the machine handles confined spaces but has the power to efficiently mow larger areas.
The rear-discharge catcher has an assist ram and is over centre for easy emptying even full. A rear discharge deflector is handy when catching is not required.
Kubota says 4WD greatly reduces the turning radius without scuffing. "This is achieved by disengaging the drive to the inner rear wheel when making a turn. A wet mechanical clutch on each rear wheels' drive axle disengages drive to the appropriate rear wheel when the front wheels are turned to a preset angle. Says Kubota, "This means the machine does not have to 'fight' against the forward drive of the inner rear wheel, so enabling tight turning."
Mowing height can be adjusted from the seat. Hydrostatic power steering eases long hours of work.
Hydrostatic transmission means 'push to go,' with pressure controlling ground speed. Cruise control allows you to cruise.
Power comes from a liquid-cooled 3-cyl Kubota diesel engine. Other details: fuel gauge and hour meter.
