I had no experience / info on zero turn mowers. After reading this board for a while, I decided to demo a couple. I know from my reading some will think I should have made a different choice, but I have purchased a Kubota ZD323 which I think is going to work great for me. And thanks to John Shipp at Shipp Equipment Co. in Clarksville, TN, I believe I got a good deal. Thanks again for posting your thoughts. Doug
