Thank you! That's why I was leaning towards the Ariens, as I read that the build quality is excellent (though they're not really in stock, so I started looking at the Gravely). After speaking with a few dealers, my new favorite line is "we don't even stock those because they're horrible machines". I've had a few places tell me that (one for Spartan, now one for Ariens/Gravely), with this specific one stating that any ZTR less than Scag is garbage. I will definitely look further into that machine, thank you!
