2017 Kubota WH15-48

Hydro-Drive walk-behind gives the professional turf contractor the performance and control to maximize productivitiy.

Kubota's WH15-48 hydro control walk-behind mower minimizes operator fatigue with comfortable controls and increased maneuverability. Cut up to 6.0 MPH with a powerful-proven Kawasaki engine, durable Kubota cutting deck, efficiency-boosting flexible discharge chute and an easy-to-read hour meter.

Features may include:

V-Twin overhead valve design

• Cast Iron Cylinder Sleeves

• Pleated Style Air Filter

• The FS-series provide higher compression ratio from the unique overhead valve design, improving performance and reliability. The V-twin design also reduces engine vibration and noise. The pleated air cleaner keeps debris from entering the intake and combustion chamber, increasing the walk-behind mower series uptime.

• Twin 10 cc Hydro-Gear Variable Displacement Pumps and Parker Wheel Motors.

• The dual lever precision hydro control reduces operator stress and fatigue.

• Two position damper allows for a more aggressive or less aggressive response from the controls. This adjustability allows less experienced operators to more accurately control the machine.

• Spindles and wheel bearings are designed for no maintenance.

• Sealed bearing prevents premature wear due to debris or lack of grease.

• Heavy duty bearings lower maintenance costs.

• Flexible molded polymer discharge chute.

• The discharge chute’s structure disperses the clipping’s in a wider, higher angle.

• The discharge chute’s design creates less clumping of the clippings which keeps the grass healthier, and prevents the clippings from killing the grass.

• Deck has a slight upward tilt.

• Leveling is accomplished by adjusting spacers on front casters.

• The angle of attack created by proper deck leveling allows for the machine to operate at maximum efficiency.

• Deck leveling should be checked periodically.

• The control panel is ergonomically designed to keep the operator in control.

• The control panel has the key switch to start the mower, engine throttle and choke, brake lever, speed adjustment, and the PTO switch.

• Simple control system that is comparable to many zero-turn riding mowers.

• Two position damper to adjust control effort.

• Wide drive tires that help put the power to the ground and keep the mower on track

• Heavy duty Clutch.

• Higher torque rating to prevent slippage and improve belt life.

• Simple system for adjusting the tracking to get machine to go straight.

• Wing nut to lock and turnbuckle to get precise adjustments.
