Re: New ZTR Pro turn 152

Just purchased a new Pro Turn 152 last Monday. After much research I thought this was the ztr to replace my 15 year old Toro z master. I was surprised at how much faster It was without giving up any quality in the cut. The Pro turn along with my 36" Gravely walk behind should hopefully make my customers happy.

I don't think I've posted in this thread in a long time. I bought a Gravely 34Z as my first zero turn. Loved it. A couple came over to look at a Toro Turfmaster I had for sale. The wife looked at the 34Z and asked how much. I told her it wasn't for sale. She asked again. I told her she would have to make an offer I couldn't refuse. She did. I went through 5 or 6 ztr's after that but none of them fit in my business niche. I finally found another 34Z at a decent price and bought it. I'm set.

Checking in. I just bought a Gravely ZT HD 52" and I broke it the first time out! I hope you guys can help me out.

I also have a 1960's model Gravely 5200 walk-behind that I use for gardening and stuff. I have a tiller, cultivator, brush cutter and rotary plow for it.

NeverGiveUp,
As promised, I finally have some pictures of the Gravely Sunshade and the Advance Autoparts driving light kit I installed over the winter. The weather here in Middle TN has "forgotten it is Spring" the last few weeks but yesterday was sunny and 62 degrees(we had some mid-70's end-of February/beginning of March) and the ground had dried enough from the rain(and snow flurries) over the last two weeks so I took advantage of the break(rain again off and on today and all Easter weekend) to get the Gravely out, mow and take some pictures(see attachments).
To describe the pics I am posting in order, they are as follows:
Post#1
1)Wire routing for left Driving Light.
2)Close-up of right Driving Light.
3)Close-up of left Driving Light.
4)Front view of Gravely with Sunshade and Driving Lights.

It appears that the forum has a maximum size limit for jpeg attachments as the 5th picture I tried to upload hung up? So I will post the remaining pictures and their descriptions in separate thread posts following this one.

I need to add lights to mine also, I need to mow after work if the weather is bad on the weekend. I was planning on using led's to minimize the battery draw, but they are very expensive for decent ones.
Have you had any issues with the 55watt lights you used?
Thanks,
Rob

Hey folks. Went to the local mower shop today to look at the exmarks, and saw several gravelys sitting there. To tell the truth, I had never heard of gravelys. I didn't pay them much attention until one of the shop mechanics said he preferred the gravelys over the exmarks. I looked one over, test drove it, and liked it ( and I am a former skag tiger cub owner, so I have a good idea of what a quality zt is). Prices are comparable with exmark, but the gravely just fit me better ( I am 6'6"). I couldn't find any overly negative reviews, SOOOOOOO, I am a new gravely owner. 2015 ZT HD 48" with the kawasaki engine. Looking forward to spending some time on this forum!!!

Hello,

New member here. I currently have a Gravely PM34Z that I've been cutting my personal lawn with for the last 12 years. It's been a great mower and only has 254 hours on it, but as I've gotten older and heavier, I've been thinking of upgrading to a larger mower. My local dealer has a demo ProTurn 52 with 30 hrs for $5900 and he'll also pick up the taxes for me.

I'm thinking its a pretty good deal but have reservations about buying a demo machine. Has anyone here had any experience with demo machines that can offer me an opinion? I appreciate any feedback you guys (or gals) can offer.

Many thanks!
