Gravely/Ariens Owner Check-In --- Read This First!

[Mower Frank]

Hello from Columbia, Tenn. I’ve owned a Gravely 44Z for 13 years, it’s been a great mower. It’s time for a change, so I just ordered a ZT HD 48. I hope it works out as well as the 44Z has. I hope to get some useful information from this forum.

You'll love it. I've got the ZT HD 60 as my first zero turn. Decided to add to my barn and due to the current deals at the time I went with the Pro Turn 148. It's even better than the zt hd.

Welcome aboard, WFM.

I am looking at few mowers and the Ariens Ikon and Gravely ZT series is another (also John Deere but since this is not a JD thread). I know there are different series that start in the low 3K and go up from there. I have between 1/2 and 3/4 property with some slight hills that I would not consider steep. My first question are these comparable mowers, gauge of deck etc. I know features and engine change as you go upward in the series. But quality wise are they identical? I was reading that the Ariens is a lesser quality but I am not sure if that was comparing the same level of mowers. Sure the ZT HD would be nice but costly and I do not see myself justifying the cost. Thank you. Also any preference between a stamp or fabricated deck? Thanks.

Hello all!
Thanks for accepting me. I’m not new to Zero Turns, I’m just new to the Gravely brand. We moved to our new home in 2018. I have approximately 3 acres to mow. I started out with a 50” Toro Timecutter. Mowing took forever and the cut never looked that great. I decided to trade up to a Toro Timecutter HD 54. It cut mowing time and the cut was better. However, it beat me up pretty good. Recently, I decided I needed something with more comfort, cut mowing time a little more and had a beefier build. I shopped around for a 60” commercial grade machine. I looked at the Scag Patriot 61, the Hustler FasTrak SDX 60 and the Gravely Pro Turn 160. I settled on the Gravely Pro Turn 160 with the Yamaha MX800V carbureted engine. This thing is a beast. It has right at 30 hours on it now and I’m very happy with the performance.

Howdy everyone, I'm Chuck from Texarkana, TX
I don't own a Gravely...YET, but I'm leaning towards the ZT HD52. We've had our 42" Craftsman tractor for over 12yrs now with NO COMPLAINTS, but I'm wanting to upgrade before it does become a problem. I'm hoping the Gravely will be my last mower.
