Got some practice with the mulcher head. I'm still learning how to operate the excavator and adding the mulcher makes it even more interesting.

When I bought my tractor in the fall of 2021, I paid cash and got a discount on the price because of that. I don't remember the amount, but it wasn't "huge". Now in 2025 I bought my KX-033 and decided to go with the 0 % for 36 months offered then along with the KTAC insurance. I could have paid...

Not sure about the RPM's, but are you checking and cleaning the radiator while brush hogging? The radiators seem to clog up more during brush hogging than any other time for me. There are plenty of posts here on overheating due to clogged radiator fins and the damage that can occur.

Nice looking job. Can you explain how/what you screwed the mount into on the roof?

The bell in the picture with your zero turn reminds me of the bell we had in our yard growing up. My mother used to ring the bell when it was time for us to come home for dinner.

I also use a dewalt 20v grease gun and just added a locknlube adapter on it. Seems to work well on all of my equipment.

If your pto selector has 3 positions ( mid, mid/rear, rear) try it in both the mid/rear and rear positions to see if that might possibly help.

Does anybody have a pdf of the Z421 WSM that they can share? I looked online and all I found were owner manuals.

Thanks

For those that use the JD Fuel Transfer tanks, when you go to get it filled, does the larger diesel nozzle fit in the opening? The place where I will be going for off-road diesel has the larger nozzle type and that is why they will not fill the yellow 5 gallon jugs.
