Common issues associated with Kubota zero-turn mowers include streaking, stepped cutting, uneven cutting, scalping, and stingers. In this guide, we`re going to explore these frequent Kubota zero-turn problems and determine what steps you can take to prevent them.
Some of the most common reasons a lawn mower won`t start include low fuel, spark plug issues, a clogged carburetor, a broken clutch, or broken gears.
To jack up zero-turn mowers, turn them off and park them on level ground. Then raise its deck, slide the jack underneath it and raise the mower as high as practically necessary. Jacking up the mower too high is dangerous and can damage delicate internal machinery.
I do this, with a tractor that has a mid-mount mower and front-end-loader. As others have said, it is not a good idea to pull/drag anything with a zero-turn. If you don`t need to get tight into the corners with the drag, you could just pull a drag behind a regular vehicle and drive around.
The average life expectancy of one of these commercial grade engines is usually 3,500 hours with oil change intervals of 50 hours. Typically at 2,800 you can start to notice a lack in power, usually do to low compression.

My Z5426 won’t start. When I pull out the choke and turn the key, gas starts leaking out of the exhaust system just before it gets to the muffler. Last time it did start, it ran really rough. So, I turn off the engine and then tried to restart and that’s when I noticed the fuel leak.
ANSWER : Maybe bad fuel, fuel line leaking, flooding of the carburetor, since it did start and ran rough I am assuming that the gas was left set and more then likely this gummed up the carburetor, you will have to clean/rebuild it. If you have a can of carburetor clean you may be able to spray that into there and clean it up, I would not choke it to start it as it sounds like it got/is flooded/ing. Good Luck Tim
