Zero turn

[bobsjd]

Hi

I was considering a BX2660 for mowing, and then drove a Kubota ZD 326. As I really did not need a tractor (I already have one with tiller, rotory mower, snowblower, FEL, and rear blade) , the zero turn seemed just right for my mowing only needs.


Anyone here have any recent information on the ZD 326?


Thanks

Bob

IMHO, that mower is going to be in the $10,000+ range. Unless you are a commercial mower, why go that expensive? Look at all the commercial mowing companies, the gas versions are very reliable and much less expensive. I mow about 2.5 acres for the past 6 years with a gas zero turn and have not had a repair (unless it was my fault) with the exception of a new battery.

I agree, I have a gas "Hustler" and it was pricey but way less than 10 grand.

Before I'd blow 10000 on a one funtion
machine I'd get a tractor.

I have a 2007 kubota ZD326 pro 60 inch deck and love it.Yes I did pay $10,700 for it but I plan on mowing with it for the next 20 plus years.Another plus the diesel sips fuel verses my gas rider mower.I guess some folks find that kind of crazy but if you go out and buy 4 or 5 cheap lowes or home depot mowers in that time frame I guess the Kubota has paid for itself.coobie

Not true,you can buy a snow/dirt plow and a trailer hitch for the Kubota ZTR,s.coobie

At 67 years of age....I bought a ZD326, it should be the last I buy. I've mowed the yard one time with it.....I LIKE IT. When I got off it from mowing the first time I wasn't even close as tired as I was with my old mower.

Why should money be a factor if it fits his needs/wants? The ZD326 is a mowin machine, if you have never mowed with a ZTR then you will wonder why you didn't purchase one sooner.
I use mine just for mowing and my tractors for tractor work.

A commercial duty gas ZTR can run up to $20K if setup well. But set up well means ROPS, Snowblower, Cab, snow/dirt plow, and 2 mower decks. Then you talk the dealer down on price. Some homeowners can justify one in those price ranges if down here due to the fact that the grass can need cut twice in a week for up to 6 months in a year. As is my case, cutting a 3 acre yard, you want to spend as little time out mowing each time as you possibly can. 35 cuttings in less than 6 months.

I have both a small tractor and a ztr.

I have always thought why put hundreds and hundreds of hours on a tractor just to mow the grass. ZTR's are the only way to mow. Use the tractor for tractor stuff.
