The Kubota F3080 zero turn lawnmower is a 4WD model from the F series. While it is a zero turn lawn mower, it actually looks radically different from most zero turn lawn mowers. One reason is the fact that it uses a steering wheel in conjunction with a differential lock and foot pedal instead of lap bars to control it’s speed and direction. The other is the fact that the rear wheels are smaller than the front wheels. On the F 3080, the rear tires each measure 16×6.5-8 (16 inch diameter, 6.5 inch width, 8 inch rim diameter) while the front wheels both measure 23×10.5-12 (23 inch diameter, 10.5 inch width, 12 inch rim diameter).

The engine on the Kubota F3080 lawn mower is built in house by Kubota. It’s a Kubota D1305 diesel engine with a max output of 30 hp. This 3 cylinder engine has a total displacement of 1.261 liters and is liquid cooled. You can clearly tell that it’s used pretty much exclusively by professional landscapers when you see that the fuel tank can hold up to 61 liters (16.1 US gallons) of diesel. Power gets to the wheels on the F 3080 by first passing through a HST hydrostatic transmission that gives the lawn mower a top speed of 20 kph (12.5 mph) traveling forwards and 11 kph (6.8 mph) when it’s reversing.

The Kubota F3080 lawnmower comes with a reclining seat that also has a suspension which means that if you do have to operate it for extended periods, you won’t get a sore back (too quickly!). It also has optional cruise control which means that if you have to use it on large playing fields or other open areas of grass, you don’t have to constantly monitor your speed. The more powerful model in the F series is the Kubota F3680 lawnmower, while the Kubota F2680E is a slightly less powerful model in the F series.
