I've been using a self propelled push mower for 10 years and I want to cut down on my time to cut. This 2023 model is definitely a huge improvement from previous years. Current pricing is $3800 at my local JD dealer but they are offering 0% 12 month financing.

Excellent review. I wish you were my dealer here in the SE. Two JD dealers are already talking $3600-$3800 for this machine. They are actually $200 higher than Lowes. When I asked why the price difference, I was told that's our list price as a dealer. I told him that if he can match the price I'll buy the machine on the spot. I showed him the picture of the same machine with the price tag on it, but no price match was offered to me. We are buying cash, no finance, but Lowe's is out of stock on back order for another 30 days. I'll wait, since we don't have to have it right now. It's just a handy addition because of the compact size.

My first zero turn mower, I got the last one at Lowe's for $3499 plus a 10% veterans discount! Good story, I almost returned it. The guys at Lowe's told me about the transmission valve, they didn't tell me there was one on each side, and one was pulled out unknown to me. I had a hell of a time getting the thing off the trailer, Lowe's pushed it on because they won't put gas in them. So I'm thinking man this is going to take some getting used to. Finally got it off the trailer and now it only wants to go in circles, and I realized that one of the levers wasn't doing anything, I thought the tranny was bad, boy was I mad! So I called JD, and when they wanted the serial number I looked down and saw that other transmission rod! Lesson learned, glad it was something stupid. So far love the mower, it's fast and much smoother riding than the JD D125 it replaced.

@@WesternEquipment I got the Z320M and I'm already ordering a few of the optional equipment pieces from the R model. I'm new to Zero Turn machines, so I'll have a bit of adjustment, but your video moving it around makes it look straight forward. I'm coming from an S130, the tractor is still running perfectly, but the deck gave up. South Florida humidity is tough on steel decks. This style mower gives better access to the deck and I love the grease fittings on the spindles. Also this Z320M is narrower than the S130, so it'll be much easier to park!

I did not even consider a John Deere Z300 series when I was first looking in late 2022. But when I saw the improvements they made for 2023, it changed my mind from buying a Toro Timecutter to a Z330R. Nothing wrong with the Toro (I have lots of Toro) but the JD met all the requirements I had better than the Timecutter. I wanted a stamped 10ga deck (48") for better airflow amongst other things) Also, Toro made almost no changes/improvements for 2023.

Curious how this one compares to their similar size model. I am located in Lawton, OK and may be in the market for a mower soon, like that there are a lot more dealers for John Deere than Ferris. And last, is this 320R easily available or is there a shortage? Thanks!

Yes, you can run the standard blades. The blades in the kit are mulching blades so they are suggested to be ran with the kit to get the best possible outcome.
@mellowjammer Жыл бұрын
@@WesternEquipment I would think that running standard blades with mulch kit installed would be ok IF you have the mulch kit set to side discharge AND the grass is not wet or lush, as in the early Springtime. Otherwise it might tend to pack up under the deck as the airflow to the discharge port is not as free flowing with the mulch kit, and the standard (high-lift) blades will vacuum the cut grass up more where it will hit the baffles and reduce the ability to discharge as well. If the grass is very dry it should be no problem. Let us know how it works out for you!

@WesternEquipment Жыл бұрын
E is your base model with the least amount of features. M is the mid spec model with some extra features. R is the top trim level with the most factory installed features. The mulch kit is a kit that is put on that is hard mounted making your deck be in mulch mode all the time. Mulch Control allows you to easily switch back and forth from mulching to side discharge. Lastly, yes, I would install mulching blades to get the best cutting results.

Why do they still use a plastic bushing at the top of the front spindle? (see update below) Toro and other quality manufacturers use 2 ball bearings per spindle. Is there an advantage to using the plastic bushing or is it just cheaper? It just seems like they only went halfway in solving the front spindle durability issue. Update 3/17/23: Just got my Z330R yesterday and replaced the plastic bushings at the top of the caster spindle with ball bearing p/n AM102888, same part thats at the bottom of the caster spindle. You should add a 3/8" flat washer between the top of the caster spindle and the top retainer (black metal cap) to maintain proper spacing. I used a stainless 3/8" washer which is about 0.050" thick and 0.875" diameter. Worked perfectly! Now I've got a much more robust front caster setup like the design of the Z500 series and up!

@mellowjammer Жыл бұрын
The Z530R uses 2 of these same bearings per caster spindle instead of 1 bearing & 1 ($1.80) plastic bushing, so I guess they are just being cheap 🤔

This was a brand new mower and it was chilly out since it this video was shot back in November of '22 so that is normal for those conditions. It will not be a normal thing once the mower has some use on it. Are you looking into one of these?

Glad to see that they addressed the front tires, but my complaint was with the ones on the rear. All models should be able to be upgradable to tweels. I didn’t finish the video yet, but my other complaint was that entry level ztrs lack a proper fuel gauge. My z335e only had a low fuel warning light, but then again it was only $2300.00 before my discount was applied in 2019.

Great info as always! I am ready to buy the Z330R w/48" deck, but there is no mulch control kit shown for it yet, although the JD website seems to indicate that it IS an option for the 48A deck. The 54" deck still uses the BUC10706 kit, which was used last year on the Z375R, but the BUC10705 which was used on the 48A deck on Z355E, Z355R & Z365R is not listed as the mulch control kit for this year's Z330R with the same 48A deck. Has the 48A deck changed (other than paint color ) since last year? Do you know the correct p/n for the mulch control kit for this Z330R mower? Thanks!

@mellowjammer Жыл бұрын
Most other manufacturers trash stamped decks because usually they are made from thin 12-13ga steel. John Deere is one of the few manufacturers big enough to be able to afford the huge hydraulic presses required to make thicker stamped decks (10ga on 48A & 54A decks, and up to 7ga on their 7 iron decks.) A stamped deck with its curves is always going to have better airflow than a boxy fab deck and there are less welds to go bad or rust. Not saying that fab decks are bad but just explaining why they are trashed by those who CAN'T make a good one. Any thin deck, stamped or fab is going to rust out quicker, get dented, bent, etc. Admittedly, if you have a deck that holds wet grass on the top it's more likely to rust out quicker too.
