I currently cut about 3.5 acres weekly, and my T1760 is about wore out. Looking to upgrade to a diesel and am considering the ZD323 or the GR2120.
My 5 acres does have some slope in places; some ditches, back by a creek, and a slope by the road. Looking for something that is stable on hills and can climb straight up in and out of ditches (due to lots of trees in the back), and safely transverse sideways across a slope.
My 48" deck does a good job, but cut quality could be better. In some places the 48" deck is tight back by the treed areas. I have some concern with a 60" deck in some places. A 54" deck would not be as "tight".
Test drove both models in the parking lot at a Kubota dealer ship yesterday. I am not sure if the ZD323 would be sketchy when climbing up and down ditches and hills; This is where I think the GR2120 would have an advantage.
The ZD323 would definitely shine in the 3 "open" acres I cut.
The general manager at the dealership said hands down, get the ZD323.
What are your experiences with these two machines?
What would you recommend?
Thanks in advance for helping me buy the right mower!!!
