I wanted a ZTR for my 5.5 acres and dad's 8. I read and read and almost let reviews and people talk me out of a 72" deck and diesel but that was what I wanted. After several demos I purchased a left over ZD326H a month ago. This evening I got the mower up to dad's and cut his pasture. Was a little concerned about power, the brochures for the mower say 26hp but based on cross referencing the sticker on the engine it has 24.5hp and 70lbft of torque.
The mower did awesome. As you can see the grass was a little over grown but it had plenty of power to get the job done in one pass with a 4" blade height. Now I wont try to claim I was able to run full stick but I didn't have to creep either.
The only complaint I can even come up with is the tires. I came home and ordered a set of R4 type tires and if that isn't enough I will fill them with water. The stock tires just slide and spin to easily.
And with 9.7 hours it only took 8.2 gallons to fill it back up.
