Where are you located? What do you want for your 331 if you don’t mind me asking?

NP. I was just curious because I’ve had one a while now and it’s a tank and I love it, but was thinking about another one. Mines coming up on 2000 hours, which doesn’t scare me, but I was thinking another used backup wouldn’t be a bad idea.
Myself, I don’t like the compromise of the new ones, dropping down 6HP to circumvent the DPF for the gubmit.

I did the trade you've mentioned with a 7xx gas in between but always had a F as my primary mower. Never noticed any reduction in power and didn't even know there was less HP.

Good to hear how about mowing deck performance? Blades?

I would think unless you have steep hills and you have to mow uphill in tall grass, 25HP with a 72” deck should be fine.

I have a 331 and 326. I have been thinking also of trading the 326 (60") for the zd1211 (72") and using the zd331 a little less.
I have read several opinions about the zd1211 with a 72" deck, and all have been positive.

I don't think I will ever get rid of the zd331 though... It's unstoppable!

I have the ZD 331 with a 60 inch deck... It does better than my bush hog on mowing grass and pastures. Mowed this a few days ago, when it was about 8 inches. Much faster than my tractor. Don't get rid of the 331.
