Is there a neutral on the Kubota 326s zero turn? On my Scag there is a lever in the back to move and it freewheels. I have had to pull them out on occasion during the rainy season in FL and towing the Kubota just doesn't seem right, considering the SCAG is from the late 90'sTIA.

This is a good question. Been meaning to take another look at the manual as I don't recall seeing anything about a neutral position for pulling the mower.
Any decent Kub dealer should be happy to answer a question like that if you take the time to drop in for a few minutes or even make a phone call. After all, it doesn't take a genius to figure out if you're helpful, you might gain a future customer!

Just checked my operator manual and WSM, and all I could find was a statement that the machine cannot be towed without damaging the transmission. I have brute force towed my mower out of mud several times. You would think I would learn after the first time....
Great mower though!

Don't know a lot about ZTR's but a true "neutral" for towing may not be a regular feature on the HD commercial grade ZTR's, Scag notwithstanding. Ferris, for example, has a procedure for temporarily clearing each of the HST drive motors so a unit can be manually pushed - for getting it unstuck, I guess - but specifically says "No towing". I suppose you could gently drag one of these things a few feet to regain traction, but ya gotta know if they didn't say something, someone would decide to just tow it down the road to the nearest gas station when they ran it out of diesel (with or without an operator, one wonders). Again, checking owner's manual or asking a dealer about the 326 seems the obvious place to start.
