Yep, but just takes but a second..........

Well, gulp, let me be the dissenting vote here. I've working my way up from stock deck, to a chute blocker, to the full kit with matching mulching blades, to the kit with Oregon G6 blades. This last is what I've found works best for me. Yep, it is a pain in the butt to install & take off, but...

The mulching kit includes a blocker as part of the kit.

Had my local Gravely dealer search for 1 for my (2017) Kohler KT 745-747cc engine. Says Donaldson doesn't make one for that.......

:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

I'd go $100........

How about just a link to it? Too many scammers around...............

High, or short? How would he know? ;)

Must have been pretty important, OP hasn't been seen again............:mad:

Here in Ohio I've always gone with the idea of mowing shorter in the early growing months and then longer during the hot days of summer. But I'm no expert......

I'd kinda like to hear the story with the spindles.

This thread has got me looking for an upgrade to my Kohler KT745 (26hp) w/o going full tilt with the $200+ unit. I'm just a lowly homeowner. But something like this...

It can be a bear, especially putting it on. But hey, I need a good workout once a year.

I'm almost afraid to admit that I have one but......:cool: I use the kit only during the fall when the leaves are falling. My HDZT60 would throw the mostly uncut leaves 20' away, and that was the original reason I was 'mowing' in the first place. Tried blocking the chute but wasn't happy with...

So, where did you get it?

OR, you could just put a fuel gauge on it. As Arlo Guthrie used to say, "just wanna ride my riding mower."

Title pretty much says it all. I've enjoyed reading & following along these past several years, and have even picked up a few tid-bits along the way. Thanks to all and again, Merry Christmas.

YES

OK, since we've wandered over to this discussion, for those of us who are 'homeowners', and don't want to have to go see you guys every couple of years, what do you think of something like this? Yey? Nay?

I'm running G5 gator blades with the slightly heeled deck. HD ZT 60. Didn't use the mulching blades that came with the mulch kit after 2 seasons. Lousy summer cut. Mow slow, mow dry and don't cut too much at a time.......

Tell my leaves that, as they drift out from the deck, darn near a powder.

I've installed the mulch kit on my ZT 60 but it doesn't contribute anything to a vibration.

Care to elaborate on what they did or found?

Yes sir, the Mobile 1 15W50 was what I used. Thanks all!

Good deal guys. Appreciate all the comments. I'll quit worrying. Only thing that had me double-guessing was the fact that I was adding slight amounts to the reservoir, like ounces. Did the purge correctly. Thought that maybe I was somehow burning up some of the lighter oil. Just need to take a...

Before changing out the hydro oil in 2 Gravely HD ZT 60's I googled what weight of oil to use, from Gravely. Says in the owners' manual 15W50. So I does that. Then one of you smart guys says "20W50". Crap! I want to do the right thing as one of the mowers belongs to my DIL and it a new mower...

Ninja throwing stars?

So, was it running low on oil? And when you say right side will not pull at low speed are you talking about the engine RPM'S or actual speed of the mower?

I've got a Gravely HD ZT 60" that throws leaves rather than cut 'em. So I purchased a mulching kit. Works great but it's a real pain for this old(er) guy to switch it out in the fall & spring. So I'm wondering about running it full time. Other than possibly cutting slower, and cleaning out the...

Have you checked your fuel filter?

Sorry, steering damper. https://www.gravely.com/en-us/part/gravely-zero-turn-mower-damper-00188700 But my gosh it looks like they have doubled in price. Thanks Donald.....

My ZT HD 60 did the same thing, down to the same side. I replaced the damper and that solved it. It had just grown weak.

Where are the Admins for this forum? Just did a search; Admin has not been on this site since 4/20! (with 0 threads) Catherine has not been seen since 9/22 (with a whoppin' 2 threads) Ibrahim has been on since 6/25 (with 0 threads) Muhammad seems to be the man here with over 1200 threads, but...

I made a report, let's see if one of the Admins replies.....

Ah c'mon. It makes me feel good. Kinda like waxing a car, it doesn't go any faster or get better mileage but I feel it does.

A little background. 60" Gravely HD ZT, Oregon high-lift blades. Being retired, I mow fairly often, 3-4 days, have the deck set at 3.5", and I don't take off too much at a time. The deck itself is kept pretty clean underneath. Yet I still seem to get clippings clearly visible laying on the lawn...

Make a jumper for the safety switch?

Never torque a filter, good-n-tight works great.

Snow is finally melting here in Ohio, home of the 2024 National Champion Buckeyes.

My gosh, who abused the guy? All I saw were helpful suggestions.

Save your breath here guys, the OP hasn't replied back since he started this thread. Try & help a guy.......... :(

lipo will not get a full charge from a LA designed charging system. Hmmmmmmmm..... Seems to work fine for years with motorcycles, which were originally set-up for SLA batteries.......

"Without the maintainer in the off season (which is short here in TX) the battery would fully discharge and die in a year." But this would be true regardless of the battery type..........

They run them in off-road adventure bike all the time. If they can handle that, they should be able to handle my lawn......

I just bought a Noco lithium for my motorcycle and really like it. Still strongly considering one for the Gravely. Plus, all my chargers are Noco, which make it easy to charge both lead-acid and LiFePO4 batteries. Guess the next step is to start contacting manufacturers... Anyone already tried one?

Appreciate it. BTW, trailer empty & would be pulled, not pushed. Not sure what the tongue would be. Have to borrow mama's scales w/o her knowing & find out. Thanks.

And, since I've 'got the floor', a second related question. Setting aside the pros & cons of rolling a lawn, figuring that a water roller weighs ~ 400 lbs., this too would be frowned upon?
