ZD1000/ZG200/ZG300?

[WhiteRam]

Looking for input on ZD1000/ZG200/ZG300?

Do the diesel models have emissions equipment on them? I saw a vid that Neil Messick did, really is what has drawn me too them.


How have they been?

Thanks.

We have a zd1211 we bought last fall. It’s the middle sized diesel. The 1021 and 1211 don’t have emissions. The 1511 does. We love ours so far and very pleased with th RD deck. They are pricey but will last for a long time

I have 2 older ZD’s (326, 331). I looked at the 1000 series, but a ZD331 became available used that I bought instead.
Were I to buy a newer one, it would likely be the zd1211 to avoid the extra expense of the dpf. Also, I have never felt that my zd326 lacked adequate power.
Anyway, the diesels in general will last much longer, and make fuel handling much easier. Mine have relatively low hours (1600 and 800 hours) but I see no reason why these engines cannot go to 7-10k hours.
