Sorry, my dementia flared again, the tires are Reapers, not "Kleavers"🤡

There's always a trade-off I guess. I'll probably swap the tires on my ZT-HD at least by next season. This'll be my first zero turn mower, so I have everything to learn. I believe it's coming with Kenda's "Klever" tires that 'look' a little more grabby than turf savers; time will tell.

Don't know about 'feel like' but I've been THINKING about changing out my rear tires with a bar-type model like Kenda and Carlisle make. I've been reading some reviews that say they offer much better traction without digging up the lawn....."IF" the operator does their part!

I hear ya on trying to get the best ride. My 'yard' is as rough as any farm field I've been in. I bought my Gravely with their full suspension seat and the upgraded casters with rubber buffers in them. I'll also adjust the tire pressure accordingly.😎

I had a Simplicity Prestige bought just a few days ago but after reading this news (that all dealers knew) I went back and retrieved my check. Simplicity sales rep was one of the best I've ever delt with for any product. I'm expecting a Gravely ZT HD to be delivered this week.

Traded the Broadmoor for a 2019 X-580 with 106 hours on it.

If you're up in age or have any shoulder/hand issues, avoid the Broadmoor. Their silly little stub of a deck lever is brutal to use. If I can't get my lever extended, mower's getting sold or traded on a Deere X390 by next year.

You need to know I don't care.

I'm a relic from the past and that stubby Deck Lever on my Broadmoor has got to go. I'm 'in the process' of getting it extended by a local weld shop. This wouldn't be necessary if I had sense enough to mess with the lever at the dealer....BEFORE buying!🥸
