Buying Advice 2007 Kubota ZD 331

[nwagner23]

I don't want a tractor that's what I have now. What light zero turns would you recommend?

 

[Rivets]

I would look at the following, not in any order, don't know what dealers you have in your area. They all come in different sizes, so when comparing, make sure you are comparing apples to apples. Toro Timecutters, Kubota Z200 series, Ariens XL series, Exmark Quest series, Ferris IS 500Z series. You will have do your homework. All of these manufacturers have many models which may or maynot fit you needs. Units that I personally do not fit you needs are Dixie choppers, Dixon, Scag, Grasshopper, and Bad Boy. If you have questions on exact models please post again.

Would you recommend diesel or gas?

 

[Rivets]

Normally gas.

 

[nwagner23]

Why is gas better than diesel?

 

[Rivets]

Two reasons I would recommend gas over diesel in this case. First, the diesels are normally not used in the smaller Z's. Second, and you may not like this, from your postings I don't think you would be comfortable with a diesel to do the jobs you listed. Sorry, but you asked.

You might want to get brochures from a couple different dealers and get an idea of options, models and equipment. The usually have a load of information including weight, demensions, engines, tires, etc.

Why would diesel be bad?

 

[Rivets]

Didn't say they were bad, just that the little I know about you and how you will be using the unit, I don't think it will be a good fit.

 

[nwagner23]

What makes you say that? I just heard that they were more fuel efficient and less maintenance.
