I have a ZD21 I couldn't be happier with. What are the differences between the 21 and 321 for $3000?

The cost of the two machines is about the same, are you looking at a $3000 cost difference to trade?

Basicly its a deeper deck, better egronomics, better parking break, and a transmission with twice the flow - more torque / less noise, a bit higher ground speed. Its really a nice set of improvments to an already great mower.

Thanks, I haven't talked trade. That number came from another post showing 2007 prices. I use mine for my lawn. I am so happy with it, I wouldn't need to trade for the improvements to the new one.

I dunno, I sure would like a maintenance hatch.

I got to look at one at a trade show last week. I have already started to look at cutting a hatch in the floor of mine like the 321.

Heh, I was at my dealer today dropping off a bent connecting link for my 2120, and asked them to check with Kubota to see what their thoughts were on me putting one in my ZD28. The man I talked to gets online with them regular and is going to ask them about it. If they was smart, they'd come up with a retrofit kit. I don't think anybody would trade just for the hatch, so it shouldn't hurt sales. Course I've thought about it.

I leave a few skid marks here and there myself, but they always seem to be gone by the next mowing. Practice does help. It's -9F here this morning. Hard to picture someone out mowing.

For my zd21, I took a sawzall and cut a notch out of the edge of the deck at the brake pedal. With that done, all you have to do is take a few bolts off to remove the deck. I think there are 7 bolts holding the deck down but I've only been using 3 or 4 with no rattles or other problems.
Oh yea, take the deck off before cutting :(
