I purchased the Kubota ZD326P two weeks ago. I am still getting used to it, but I really like it. I had (still have) a Kubota GF1800E front deck. I got the ZD326P for $12,813 out the door delivered. .He also threw in a FSM. Prices in my area varied a lot. One dealer in my area was over $1600 higher, so shop around. The service I got from the GF1800 was the reason I went back to Kubota. I cannot think of anything I would change. I only mow three acres at home and I will be mowing our church yard which is another three acres. The mower is heavy, about 1700 pounds. The diesel engine has plenty of torque for anything i will ever need. I don't think you can go wrong with this mower.
