I got the 2023 Gravely ZT x 42 with bagger (not power bagger). It's AWEFUL !! Do NOT recommend this one! The mower blows grass, leaves, debris all out of ALL sides of the mower including in front which goes RIGHT into your face and eyes as you drive forward right into it. It's absolutely awful. You can see it doing it in this vid right in the very first line, debris being thrown right out the front of the deck. I was advised by the dealer to slow the mower engine/speed and that will fix it and it did nothing! The bagger is the 1st time Gravely did their own and it's AWFUL. The bags are WAY too behind the mower so if you're driving along side of a structure/wall or fence, you can't just turn away from the structure normally b/c the bags are so far behind the mower, turning normally, the bags crash up against the structure. Literally the only good thing about the Gravely ZT 42 is the Kawasaki engine. The deck adjustment hight control is lame and I often can't see the numbers when adjusting while mowing. I sold the mower after 1 season and after contacting both the dealer and contacting Gravely were USELESS. I bought an other brand with Kawasaki engine altogether and it works as it should so, finally I have a normally functioning mower again that doesn't spew debris out all sides of the deck and the new one I got has the normal suction into the bagging system. What a headache but finally on to mowing lawn as I should. The Gravely ZT X 42 is a cool looking mower and has some nice things like adjustable seat, visible gas level, cell charger BUT, what good are those things if the mowing functionality is awful?? Very glad I sold it but I really--REALLY would have preferred that it worked well and that I didn't need to sell it. My new zero turn works great, thankfully but, what a significant pain to get a brand new Gravely only to have to sell it and get an other brand.
@@travisa3323 To answer your question, with the money I got for the Gravely, I got a 2024 Cub Cadet ZT1 42 also with Kawasaki engine. It doesn’t have the bells and whistles but it honestly works really great, and a lot better. It doesn’t spew debris everywhere. The fabricated deck works a lot better than the gravely’s! Also, the rear tires don’t dig up spots like the Gravely did as well.
The 42 is a ideal size especially when you have those gates to get through💯👍🏾
Fits through just about everything. Have to pull the grass chute up often though when passing through gates. Happy Mowing BigSon, have a great season!
@@LagersLawn 💪🏾
Love it!! 😻
Oo those tiny gates
Good video
I enjoyed the music 🎶 🫶🏽
Looking good
Hope you have a good year.
Thanks a lot I hope you do too. Going into year 4, feeling pretty good! Already have about half a dozen new clients for the season

What did you buy and how does it work?

@@malcolmh5736 Doesn't that one have the 18 hp Kawasaki? Did you notice much difference between it and the 21 hp on the gravely?
@@travisa3323 odd, my last reply got taken off. I just looked and it has the exact same 21.5 hp. Maybe the 2024s have it vs the leftovers
You are very active trashing your ztx on sites. I have one and do not have the grass flying problems you have.
