Did you find this video helpful? Did it make you purchase or not purchase this machine? Thank you all for watching!
JC'sLawnTips honest opinion real quick, would you recommend this mower as a long term mower? Reliable
JC'sLawnTips I’m looking at the 44 inch model!!
Hayden Gregory Sorry I didn’t see this sooner. I’ve only had it a few months. Compared to their other mowers this mower is built just as well. I have a 2016 Pro-Stance 52 with 450 hours and it’s be great with no issues. It should last you a long time!
I just ordered a Gravely Compact Pro 44 today. Review was very helpful and informative.
@@michaelbartczak9495 Thank you very much Michael! I'm glad this video helped, enjoy your new mower! 😎
Out of all the reviews of mowers, this was the most informative.
Thank you Gary, I appreciate that!
@@jcslawntips @ least go for ZTX42, don't cheap out on equipment. I got the right machine for my prop. when I 1st bought the house the yard was in really rough shape; I had a lawn svc bring it up to speed; there was a fence dividing the yard in 2 sections as the property borders 2 streets. So I cut a big enough opening to allow those machines to pass through.
Great unbiased review! It's clear you spent a lot of time researching and using this machine, as a lot of those pros and cons aren't immediately evident. Nice work!
Thank you, I really appreciate that!
best review I've seen of any mower.... thank you!
Thank you for watching!
Best in depth review I've seen
Thank you!
Great Review, thanks for your time.... I"m contemplating this being my first zero turn, and you covered all bases....
Awesome, glad this helped! Good luck with your new mower
Glad you showed me how it slides on hills
I’m wondering if the 44” Compact Pro with the wider tires and larger engine might be a better fit for me. I don’t have any 34” or 36” gates to go through, but I’m looking for a compact frame zero turn and the Gravely looks like it “out points” the Ferris and Snapper Pro. Anyone have any experience with the larger Gravely Compact Pro 44? Thank you!
This machine is about 10k in oz. But if has all the commercial goodness it should be a excellent option. Hillsides will always be a problem unless they all switch to cub cadet steering wheel style of steering which is great but I worry about dust and dirt grinding in amongst the steering assy. Maybe by now we ought to know which is the best zt tyre for hillsides.
Very thorough review - well done! Lots of positives on this machine.
Thank you, absolutely!
@@jcslawntips Very welcome!
Awesome review. I think they need to consider reworking the tire situation, very small thin tires are definitely not a good combination for ride on zero turn mowers, because of the hill/incline. Definitely has a nice cut . I look forward to more of your reviews. You definitely give the right information, stuff that really matters. Not many people do it like you do. Thanks for the great quality content you provide to the people.
Thank you Mike, I completely agree. I really appreciate your feedback. A lot of thought and time go into making these full reviews. Thank you for watching!
Great Review! Very informative. Thanks
Thank you for watching!
I just bought one of these, it’s real fast going forward but extremely slow in reverse, not sure what’s going on mine but it’s only got 2 hrs on it , I’d say If full speed forward is 7-8 miles hour I’m only going 1-2 in reverse??
Looks like a sweet machine, great review and thanks for taking the time to do it.

Great job! Had our 34" compact pro for a several years and it was great for us til we got into more compact lawns in Texas. Love your input on the 2019 gravely compact pro 34".
Thank you
More compact what did you go for more compact than 34?
I absolutely love mine. It’s perfect for what I do. I’m in south Louisiana and there are no hills. I have no problems with the smaller tires
That's great to hear! I'm glad it's working out for you, it's a great mower. Thank you for watching!
Glad you like it, Trey!
Hey Trey, I'm also in south Louisiana. I'm thinking about getting one of these exact units. How's it been so far? Cut quality, reliability, etc.
Thanks
Same traction issue with the Raptor sd 36". Slip sliding away 😸
Have the 52" pro z love it. They could tweak all the models mine has a useless pocket too shallow. Yea need to move gas gauges and switch valve wear you can see and work it with out getting off mower.
Awesome! Thank you for watching!
It seems very expensive for a 34” cut ZTR, and yes I know it’s a commercial grade mower. The people who will be buying it are: lawn services who cut properties with small gates to the back yard,, and a few home owners with a medium to small lawn but need space in the garage and or have a small gate to the back yard. How many people get fences installed with small gates? You would think a good fence salesman will tell the customer if you have a lawn service mow the grass for you their bid will be smaller if you put in a wider gate.
This type of mower is very popular down south because of the old gates that are on properties. Some areas have super tight areas that are just hard to get at. Thank you for watching!
This compact 36 mower would be good for folks who cut properties in older established urban neighborhoods with fenced in lawns which mostly have very narrow gates.
Like in the west end of Richmond Virginia many houses were build over 40 to 80 years ago with tiny back yards and super narrow gate entrances to their small fenced in properties.
Thanks for the video. Would this fit a 5x8 trailer?
No problem, Yes it definitely would 👍 Thank you for watching!
I wish the hydro fans had easy access to clean them!
that little FX never seemed to bog!
Great review gravely and Encore are the only ones with a 34 I've always used encore fuzion 34 and they have been extremely reliable my last one I had for 9 years and I put 5300 hours on it I purchased a new one a year ago and she is on 1000 hours already and not one issue I like the gravely but it's over a $1000 more then the encore.
Wow, 5,300 hours that's crazy! Sounds like a solid machine. Thanks for watching!
What is an Encore we haven't even heard of it in our household? Do you have video, it what other brand name would it be under?
Great review
Great review. Now I really can't decide between this and a pro stance 36"
i think prostand would be better for slope,if you slip you can always jump off it and push it out,while compact 34 you just gonna slip down with it which could be dangerous.
Go with a 36inch
Awesome video!
Gravely Thank you!
The tie down points are next level
need to lower the center of gravity for it to handle small hills better. i own the residential zt34 and it does hill like the one you tried without problems.
Really, that's surprising. It kinda makes sense though I guess. Thank you for watching!
I like it. I say from this video the good outweighs the bad.
I agree, it's a great mower. Thank you for watching!
I love my Compact Pro 34. Best cut quality of any of my mowers and hardly ever leaves visible clippings. I have an older version..maybe 2014-15..and it's quick. 9 mph as opposed to 7mph on this version, so it can rip through large properties. My biggest issue is hills. Up and down is basically the only way with it for me. Side to side is usually a no go.
I agree, the cut quality is amazing on this mower. Hill sides are not it's friend. Up and down is definitely the way to go if possible. That doesn't make it a bad machine. It's just and area to improve on. Thank you for watching!
@@jcslawntips Honestly, I think just the fact that it's a ride on makes it inherently bad on hills in regards to going horizontal. Never mind the fact that it's incredibly narrow. Even the slightest hill makes me feel like its going to tip. I have to say though..I have never had an issue going up a hill. Down can be a bit sketchy, though. haha. IMO stand-on is king for productivity and hills.
What's the rear wheel width?
The should put the throttle and the hour meter on the other side I they could.
Great video budd
Thank you
I bought a mulch kit for my Compact Pro 34 nd for the life of me I can't figure out how it goes on. Have you tried a mulch kit on this mower?
I have not, just make a phone call to your dealer and they should be able to walk you through it
Real good review. I did not make a purchase I am going to stick to stand on. Thanks for the info 👍
Thank you, glad this helped
THAT why I I'm planning on getting a 8.5 ft wide trailer. So I can put two of these 34 Gravely mower side by side.
You could fit two of these side by side in a 6 foot wide trailer too
Good review.
I'm just cutting basic yards nothing to crazy and my neighbor i cut has two metal fences that open and ill easiley be able to fit with just one open lol im upgrading from a self peopled Toro push mower mind you the engine recently started to tap and my neighbor across the street has a lot he bought thankfully I'll be able to cut that with ease
Good stuff buddy
Thank you Tony!
I was told from local dealer that this new models are not maid how the past models were. Cheaper Transmision and few other stuff for a bigger profit for gravely
Local Landscaping & Lawncare Ramos I honestly don’t know, but I can tell you they did a great job with the build quality on this unit
Very nice mower! How much do these go for???
About $6,700 but I've seen them as low as $5,500. Check with your local dealer they might have better pricing in your area
Wow. That thing has some big disadvantages. I think the 42/44/48 is a better option. Inclines are it's big down fall. I have the 48 pro series and it can fit thru most gates but i can mow some sketchy hills.
Cost?? thax
Is this a commercial mower? What’s the maximum acres you can mow with this ??
Yes, as many as you want. It can mow 2.2 acres per hour. Thank you for watching!
Do they have a bagger for the 34?
I haven't seen one personally, but I'm sure they do.
Have you tried the Ariens Edge 34?
I drove one once, never mowed with it before
@@jcslawntips how does it feel in regards to quality? is there anythinga bout it that might suggest it could be better in regards to traction than the gravely pro-34?
is the operator position a bit lower and does the deck sit at least flush with the tyres if you remember?
sorry for all the questions. I have a chance of getting one (edge 34, literally just one comign to the state) here in Tasmania, Australia. These kind of niche mowers generally land and sell straight away so it's hard to get a look at one without putting a deposit on it, and forget about demo-ing one.
I mow for a living, have been using the turfmaster 30 hdx and am looking to upgrade, but have quite alot of undulating properties and can get very boggy all winter and into most of spring.
I wonder why gravely put another deck on it... We have a 2014 model and it's not that deck.. Personally I hope that deck cuts better then ours does..
Derick Neighborgall That might have been an upgrade then. This thing cuts really clean, no joke. It’s got a very clean cut!
Hey, what price range do these run in? Thank you!!
It will depend on your area, about $6,700
Thanks man
@@haydengregory8275 No problem!
$10 k Aud
What is blade tip.speed on this mower 🙄 ?
I'm not sure on that one, sorry
I had my mind made up for this mower but you change it .It doesn't hold hills I have a 36 standard and I am selling it because it doesn't hold hills I guess I will have to buy a bigger mower Thanks for the review
Absolutely, I don't think its bad machine. But if you're looking for something for hills this isn't the best unit. Do you do a lot of small lawns that require you to get through a gate?
JC'sLawnTips I have a few but I do more com properties
I just got one and it vibrates a lot is that normal?
@juan romero Blade check.
Sometimes a stone or something small can wedge in a pulley as well. Check belt is smooth.
no that is not normal
How much does this machine go for 🤔
Around $7k
This mower is for backyards only
14:32 you do realise that 34inches is the CUT width not the mower width 14:39 ofcourse it's wider than what they show, they can't defy the laws of physics and have the mower only exactly as wide as the blades are cutting.
Correct, the reason I point that out is because a lot of guys think that when they buy at smaller mower it will fit in a gate as wide as the deck. A 36 inch mower won’t fit through a 36 inch opening, a 34 will but a 34 will not fit through a 34 inch opening. You get it. But for the guys looking at buying a mower it might be something they over look. Bigger machines don’t typically matter as far as the overall width. But the smaller machines do for the guys that need the right size machine for their properties. Thanks for watching!
How much is it?
About $6,700
@@jcslawntips thank you for responding. What's the difference between gravely 34in and the gator 34 from worldlawn?
@@88SILVERADO1 I honestly don't know anything about the Gator 34 from world lawn, sorry
Its a Baby mower
To many you guys.
It talk Technique and experience on the hills! Alway keep your nose straight up the hill! I can cutt U.G.A. STYLE! STRAIGHT UP AND DOWN, STRAIGHT LINE'S! Minimise Effort! And haveing to blow off clead! Leaves more time! All other task like pruning, edgeing! Blow! Pull weed! Spray.. .etc.. .wLs.. .
This machine is way too small for what you are cutting. Made for smaller yards without steep hills. Try a 42 in cut
I use a 60 inch mower for almost all of my properties. This was just simply showing the mower in action. Thank you for watching
