pic of the mowers at a job the other day on trailer just want to share to all the orange lovers out there. 200 hrs so far on the 1511.
My only complaint so far I guess is the grass building up under the deck. We have had to clean it out in a weekly basis it seems anymore. I'm sure with some different blades it will be corrected.
I will say the cut quality is awesome when the deck is clean and grass is somewhat dry. I am probably loosing air flow as the cup on the blades gets wore down also. A new set always corrects this and helps.

Well it’s the end of another season here in western NY. About ready to pick things up and hook up the snow plows.
The ZD has performed well agin. Just shy of 500 hrs no issues. Did just change the blades for the first time this fall. The marbane blades sure can take a beating. I’m getting twice as many hrs out of them as the old ones on the 331.

I'm on my 3rd cutting also. I mow 15 lawns varying from 1.5-3 acres with a ZD331 or ZD326. The 331 gets used the most at 1500 hours, and the 326 was sidelined at 1600h.
My only complaints are starter problems on both, which was rectified with a relay for the starter solenoid, and a fuel supply issue on the 331 that was "fixed" by adding a secondary fuel pump out of desperation. I do have an additional 2 micron fuel filter on both machines which may have pushed the 331 over the edge on fuel delivery with the single OEM lift pump.
All in all, these are nice machines, and a joy to mow with.
