Strengths Cuts like a dream, easy to run, love it. Not my first Kubota, had a ZD 321 and it lacked power in damp grass, but not the 326. Added lights when I bought it, cut at night if it is hot, can see extremely well.Well built product and would recommend to anyone. Never had a mechanical issues with this or last and warranty was fine.

Weaknesses None

Overall

Strengths Incredible Machine. I tested Bad Boy, GrassHopper, Dixon, Hustler, John Deere. This is by far the best machine. I don;t think you can go wrong. The hydraulic deck is a nice treat that the others don't have.

Weaknesses Lights would be nice. The safety features are a bit tricky to get used to but no biggie once you know what to do. I absolutely hated driving it when I first got it. Loosen up the control stick pivot nuts a bit and it is a dream machine.

Overall Love it.

Strengths Great power, mowing performance. Very fast and, for the most part reliable. Very easy to operate and very comfortable for the operator. Deck is very heavy duty and driveline and belt drive tough.

Weaknesses PTO control linkage is is seriously deficient, unreliable Some driveline grease fittings are difficult to reach. You must disconnect the driveline to change a fan belt. Parts availability is poor.

Overall Great machine but, for the price, the PTO control/linkage weakness is a real problem and parts availability is suprisingly BAD causing serious downtime. At this point I would not buy another Kubota.

Strengths The mower deck is great. The machine appears to be very durable. Fuel efficiency is great.

Weaknesses Because the machine is so heavy, the turf tires don't allow much tractor on inclines. When I got on an incline, I had no control and could not hold the bank. We have switched the turf tires out for bar type tires. I believe Kubota should offer this machine with tire options.

Overall Now that we have switched out the tires, we love the machine. We mow roughly 8 acres with it and it has cut our mowing time down dramatically.

Strengths This is one of the toughest mowers of its type out there. The double mower belt is incredibly strong, and should last for a very long time! I have cut areas with extensive growth, and barely have to slow down. I can also cut three times more area in the same amount of time than my old mower. Zero maintenance issues with this beast. The hard no inflation wheels on the front are great! The lift system works great to get under the deck to clean and sharpen. And if you're interested, it goes a long way on a little diesel.

Weaknesses No real suspension to speak of, so the ride is a little on the rough side on uneven ground (wear the seat belt!) Couple of the grease points are a little tricky to access, but overall maintenance needs seem to be pretty well thought out.

Overall Don't have as many problems getting the kids to help out with the yard anymore. Strong, well built, seemingly reliable machine. Would recommend to anyone looking to cut large areas.

Strengths Went from zd-18 to this model Like trading a ugo for a cadillac fast & cuts great!!!!!!

Weaknesses NONE

Overall 50 hrs and not one problem

Strengths hyd. deck is great

Weaknesses fuel gauge only work on right side tank the left side just gets a light when low

Overall i have put about 6 hours on my new 326 it has a great cut rides very smooth compared to other ztr i have operated it is very fuel efficient has all the power needed i cut grass that hadn't been mowed in 2 weeks (due to old lawn mower breaking down) it didn't hardly bog the engine down haven't had any problems and really like the mower

Strengths Strong mower,will mow as fast as you want to go and good even cut. Has a crank jack on front to get under the deck. Very good on fuel. This thing has doors all over it to make maintance easier. This thing sticks on hills and ditch banks better than I expected,I learned it sticks better after the morning due has burned off.

Weaknesses Does'nt like mud,which is a problem with all zero turns.Should come with work lights. Rides a little rough,I let some air out of the tires which helped with traction and ride. I went ahead and changed the tran fluid with the 50 hrs filter change,the trans fluid take a while (several hours) to completly run down and fill the system. Check the trans fluid several times after a change.

Overall I have the ZD326S 60"Pro deck and have 60 hrs on the clock with no problems so far. I really like the machine and my kids even more they hav'nt had to mow the yard for months now.

Strengths One great mowing machine. I have owned owned a B2630 tractor with a 60" deck for over two years. The B2630 is a fine machine, but the ZD326 with 60" deck cuts the same mowing acres in half the time. I mow over 6 acres of smooth to hilly ground, trees, shrubs, pond bank, ditches, etc. and the ZD handles it all. A great machine with no problems at all so far. I have over 20 hours of hot, very dusty, dry mowing with no "overheat" problems at all.

Weaknesses Kicks up a lot of dust and flying debris - the deck has lots of speed and vacuum. I don't think this can be avoided - most of the time this unit runs so fast you'll out run the dust cloud! Fasten your seat belt and hang on - you'll be mowing at speeds not thought of with normal tractor/mowers.

Overall Very pleased. This unit will be my main mower from now on. I'd recommend this unit to anyone who does seriuos mowing and wants a rugged, commercial built machine.

Strengths I posted this under the 331 pro also.This is one awsome ZTR.I have the 26HP with 60 inch deck.The post above this states over heating issues,I have had NO over heating issues at all.This ZTR mows wet grass with no problems at all.Great seating,very heavy duty mower deck,and good controls.I now have about 25 hours on the machine

Weaknesses None yet !!

Overall Love it,great machine the more and more I use it.
