new "Diesel" riding mower

[Jamming]

Hello, Its been awhile since last post. I am really enjoying and working my JD 3005 I have 109 hours so far its been great. Now i am looking to upgrade my riding gas mower for a Diesel one. Looking at buying the JD X754 because of the 4 wheel steering and Diesel reliability. Was considering a zero turn but there worthless on ditches and any grade steeper than 3% . Most of my land is flat and i have two fields i mow with the mower on back of the tractor. But what i am looking for is a tight turning Diesel Rider for just mowing nothing else. Thanks for any input.

3% is **** near flat.
Zero turns may not be great on hills, but I have no problem with hills on mine till probably at least 10 to 15*.

Consider what I have read and never owned a zero turn . Any considerations ? Also have a budget of 12 k . That being said I am sure there are mowers that turn on a dime and dont get stuck in a area where traction is a issue for much more . Uneven terrain and the ability to tow a small cart is a benefit for garden tractors. Looking for a mower that can mow 6 acres and easy to handle so the wife is also comfortable. Most zero turn mowers I have read about fail reviews for uneven terrain.

Front mower deck interesting. What is it?

F series Kubota 4x4 diesel. He says it is the most stable mower he's ever used.

If you are going to be mowing on hills 4WD is a must.

Not so much on hills but long driveway with ditched uneven ground. Most of my property is flat.

Thank you will look at it, but kabota has been a real problem at my work place. Service wise. Dont use the equipment just hear complaints from our mechanics. But people do complain and not always a game changer for me.

I have a Kubota 4WD tractor and a zero turn mower. What I am reading here is nonsense.
