I finally got some seat time on my JD X740( diesel engine 60 inch deck) mowing our property.This is my JD X740 comparsion verses the 2007 Kubota(diesel engine 60 inch deck) p326 ZTR I just sold.Both mowers are quality made with heavy mowing decks.The JD yanmar diesel is quetier than the kubota diesel.The kubota mowed much faster,but the ride was rougher.The JD has a very tight turning radius but not as tight as the ZTR(of course). The kubota did not suck up grass againest the screens like the JD does.The JD does not tear up the grass as much.As far as time wise mowing I might have lost 10-15 min. mow time with the JD.The JD has a top speed of 8.5 MPH and the kubota 10.5 if I remember correctly.IMHO both are very nice mowers and should give many years of dependable service.coobie
