Hello all,would like some opinions on these 2 mowers.I will be cutting 1 to 5 acres with this mower and would like to know which mower is the best bang for the buck?
The gravely pro turn 60 has the Kawasaki engine it.The Exmark pioneer 60 has a Kohler zt740 engine in it and I know that the Koehler engines had some problems with them.Did they get the issues resolved with the Kohler engines?i like the features on the Exmark better over the gravely.Which mower would you buy and why?
That is a tough question to ask. You will get very different opinions on this site from everyone. You are comparing two well built mowers. The gravely has the fs series kawasaki engine, but the exmark has larger zt3400 hydros and holds 7 gallons of fuel compared to the gravely's 6. You should test them both and go with the mower you like best.
If you want to most bang for your buck you should expand your search. There are many great mower brands out there (such as hustler/big dog, kubota, ferris/snapper pro, scag, bob cat, country clipper, Husqvarna, grass hopper, john Deere, etc). Find out what you have available in your area and test them all. You may be able to get a larger fuel capacity, or a better power train on another brand for the same money (such as an fx series Kawi, or vanguard with zt3400 or zt4400 hydros).
Asking others on this site which is the best mower is going to be an opinion based on what they have or have used, and may not be experienced with other brands you are looking at. You won't be able to get as fair a comparison as you would if you tried them out yourself. All of the major brands offer similar components. Some just have a better price than others and have better dealers in certain areas. You should also look at the dealer as well. Dealer support is important.
