advice on a couple mower options Honda or Gravely(buying)

[trailma282]

new member in NM looking for any advice
Coming from the Honda commercial lines(really happy with the last 2)
Considering buying a new mower in the near future looking at the Honda hrc self propelled and
the gravely commercial 21(just got a dealer in town for them never heard of them until recently)

Any input would be great, appears the gravely will cost me about 200 dollars less than the Honda hrc

thanks very much

If the Honda has served you well I would stick with them until a few days ago I didn't even know gravely made any small mowers that makes me nervous on way of available parts and service. Honda has proven over and over again how good they are..

Honda Does make a good mower but IMO the HRC is way over priced at $1300 for what it is because it's nothing more than a glorified residential. The Gravely would be the better of the two mowers, the Kawasaki FJ 180KAI engine can't be beat. I've been running the same engine on the Toro TM for the last two seasons commercially and it has been great, no issues what so ever and it cuts anything. I'd buy the the BBC model it's a sweet thing to have and saves a bunch of time.
