Z330R zero turn mower

Here is an update;
I talked myself out of the Z355R and bought a Z545R.
I took it for a test spin down the driveway and decided I need to practice before I start trimming around anything expensive.

Good stuff and congratulations.

When my Z-trac was delivered, the Dealership bloke recommended that I practice driving it around the property without the mower engaged & the deck up until I got the 'hang of it'. I found that if you kept the left control at a steady 'speed' and used the right control to 'steer' was best... just don't 'get cocky'.

What size deck did you get?

Good point, but in the States we drive on the right so we would hold the right control steady and use the left to "steer".

I got the 60" deck.

Okay, my first findings. When things get exciting, my feet do nothing about crash avoidance. And, when I let loose of the handlebars, it keeps moving...neutral is hard to find in the second before a crash.

My yard needs mowed for the weekend but I think I'd better mow the driveway for a few hours first.
