I recently traded in my ZD28-72" for a ZD31-72". I assumed the new ZD31 would be an upgrade, but I may have made a mistake based on my application.
I use the mower for personal use, cutting 5 acres. The terrain has some slopes, and a few tight spots surrounding our pond. The ZD28 did OK with this, but I have found the ZD31 to be problematic, and not easy to get out of a tight spot. Traction is a concern on most slopes, more so than with the ZD28. I have found I need to use a push mower or weed trimmer more now, and I'm not happy about that. The ZD31 is great for level cutting, but I think I may have made a mistake in my application.
Would I be better served with the F3080 or F3680? We have loved the Zero Turn units, but the 4 WD would be a great plus. I don't see to many of the F series out there, so I wonder if that would be a good option.
