LOL Well I wanted the new Gravely "new air ride seat", but after looking at it the machine was too manual for mowing for me, levers, pins, etc to set everything vs. the JD everything is right at your finger tips more or less without moving your arm from the arm rest. My back injury is dictating most of my life now, my weed-eaters are all modified where I lay the head on the ground while keeping my back straight just to weed-eat, heck I had to purchase a self drive push mower just to mow what very little I have to mow using it around the pond edge since my mower is too heavy to get within 2 feet of my pond, my Z930 comes in over a ton with me on it, weight sticker is 1946lb on the machine and I am 220.
