Land Pride ZTR Mower

[WESnIL]

Who manufactures the Land Pride ZTR mowers? There is a used one for sale locally that is of interest; it is a ZXT Pro model if that makes any difference. Does anyone have any first hand experience with one?

All the orange attachments I have seen on Kubotas have Landpride printed on them.

Interesting thing, their site page for ZTR mowers is empty, like they are no longer available? Given their location I wouldn't be at all surprised if they were contracted to one of the mid-Kansas mower makers, like Hustler. Could be that Kubota didn't care for that arrangement, just conjecture on my part.

Per your link, on the "Divisions" page they say they are a member of the Kubota family and further down are a maker of Kubota branded construction equipment and attachments.

Yes, Kubota bought them out a few years ago. I believe they did make attachments for Kubota before the buy out. Whether they are just under the umbrella of Kubota or if Kubota took over manufacturing, I have no idea.

The Land Pride zero turn was made by Hustler for several years.

I had a ZTR 52" that I bought used maybe 10 years ago, the dealer told me it was light commercial. 18HP IIRC and was easy on gas. The only problem I had was the plastic belt pulleys would need replaced at times. Lap bars don't work well on my steep hills so I run a Cub ProZ 700S (steering wheel) 72" now, it sticks to the slopes.

Great Plains has/had manufacturing facilities around Salina, KS. Drive by there all the time. Big sign in front of main plant says Kubota.

My 2 cents worth. I was an OPE dealer until 2008. Traded in a Land Pride AccuZ 52 with 20 hp Honda around 2004. The early mowers were made by Exel Industries ( Hustler ). I think they were built there for about 10 years. Ariens took over making the L P's until Kubota took possession of Land Pride. The origional Accu Z's were the gold L P color. The later, Ariens units, were painted red.
Hustler corresponding product. called Fastrak, is still in production. They were marketed as Residential/Light Commercial use.
I'm still using that trade-in and it's been a pretty good mower. Parts may be available through Kubota (or the early one's) from Hustler.
