I'm "cootertwo" 68 years old, and just bought my very first brand new riding mower! Always had hand-me-downs, or something I drug home from a trash pile. Now the proud owner of a Gravely ZTX42, and so far, only mowed once, (1 acre) I LOVE IT! 24 hp Kohler purrs like a kitten. Love the way Gravely uses easily removable pin clips, here and there, instead of cotter pins or one way washers. VERY well built, fabricated deck.:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:
