The Z400 runs a similar gas engine range as the Z200 but is built on a heavier frame and deck, closer to commercial-grade construction. It's the right step up when you want a machine built to hold up over years of regular use.
The Z400 series offers 48 to 60 inch decks, sized for larger residential lots and small acreages rather than tight urban yards.
The Z400 is still a residential/prosumer machine rather than a full commercial unit, but its heavier construction handles occasional multi-property or larger-acreage mowing better than an entry-level zero-turn. For daily commercial use, the Z700 is the better fit.
No, the Z400 series is gas-powered only. Kubota's diesel zero-turns (the ZD series) are aimed at commercial and fleet use, where the daily run hours justify the extra upfront cost of a diesel engine.
