I’m looking to upgrade from present John Deere Z820A zero turn. I’ve recently been able to test drive both ZD1211 and ZD1511.
Goals for upgrade;
1. Switch from gasoline to diesel. We have a 300 gallon diesel tank but, I have to haul ethanol contaminated gasoline in 5 gallon cans, about 20-25 gallons per month. Mowing is my major gasoline consumer.
2. Wider cut, mow faster. The JD has 60” 7 iron deck and planning to upgrade to a 72” deck.
3. Stay cleaner. JD has side discharge and planning on changing to rear discharge.
After test driving the ZD1211 and ZD1511 I’m inclined towards the ZD1511 because of air ride seat, Diesel engine, more HP, heavier machine.
I’m curious if anyone else has experience with the ZD1511 with 72” rear discharge deck?
