I'm sure most here on TBN know my opinion of the ZD1211 72" mower, so I'll spare y'all.
I will mention that the 72" side discharge ACS decks use a larger blade mounting hole, and at least 2 years ago there were no aftermarket blades available. A TBN user posted an engineer drawing of how to mill the mounting bushing to accommodate the older blades. I wish I could remember who posted the mod to give them credit. I wanted to stay with Gator mulching blades, and the milled bushings worked out great.
Please give your opinion. I think you liked it? We both do some mowing, so I’d like to know. Worried about lack of power. We are forced to mow some places on a 10-day schedule, so it can get nasty.
I still have the F-3680.
