DUDE. THANK YOU for actually telling me what I want to know. I’m a car guy, I buy things based on functionality and design. Sooo many videos just blabbing not telling me specifics or vs other choices. Fine job mate.
Thank you!
Bought HD48 three weeks ago for my 1/2 acre lot. Love it so far. Fits nicely in my shed. Great cut because the blades spin faster vs. the HD52 with same engine. No scalping on my sloped yard. Went with the full suspension seat. Well worth the extra $ for that.
Great to hear! That 48 inch machine definitely cuts nice.
How do you like cut quality compare to 52? No regrets? No missed grass? How’s stripes?
I picked up the 2023 42”. Wanted the Kawasaki engine but they were out so went with Kholer. So far so good and very happy with it. I only have 1.3 acres. Some of it like a wild meadow but time isnt my enemy since I also work from home so decided to not get the 48”. Great walk around on these. Thanks
Thanks you. How did the mower do the rest of the season?
You do a nice job of explaining the details that most don't see..
Thank you. Beauty is more than skin deep. 😀
I love mine!
It’s a game changer for your lawn
I'm getting a little older. My daughter thinks I need a riding lawn mower instead of a walk-behind for my 1/3 acre yard. That seems a little overkill to me, but I guess I need to consider it. Does a zero turn function very well on a sloped hill? Would something smaller than a 48" be in order?
How steep is the slope? They can handle sloped properties but there are limitations as there are with traditional steering wheel machines.
Sorry but I CANNOT recommend the Gravely ZT HD. Bought a 48" ZT HD September/October of 2022, so end of season. I mowed once that year. Maryland had a pretty severe drought in the Summer of 2023, so I only mowed 2 or 3 times. The mower has 14.3 hours. This is as close to brand new as you can get. Mowed this morning for the first time this year. About 10 minutes into the job when the mower gave a loud clunk, traveled a few feet, and froze (engine running but mower will not move in any direction). The clunk was due to the fact that the PTO clutch literally fell off. The PTO clutch should be securely held in place by a pretty substantial bolt. This bolt should not be coming lose on a very lightly used mower. This is an obvious manufacturing defect and a quality control failure. At the present time my $7k mower is a BRICK. I cannot even move it manually (even with the bypass levers in the proper position). I have no idea how my dealer is going to get it on the trailer to take it in for repair. Maybe it's just going to become an expensive big red lawn decoration.
I sorry you had this happen. We have had a few mowers with clutch bolt issues. The local dealer will take care of this for you and you will be good to go.
@@Dgrinde Yes, there was a service bulletin released. The failure rate was low and if proper Pre Delivery Inspection occurred it was near zero. You will be happy with the machine
Thank you for the video. I am looking at this seriously. One question. Will the 48" deck fit on a 50" trailer? I do not want to have to buy a new trailer too.
I think that would be very, very tight
Nice Mower. Why does that 2023 HD have 2022 silver front caster covers when the other 2023 model year have black.
Running change. Early season shoot
I bought one 2 months ago works great
bought the bagger system 2 days ago
Bagger system sucks actually went back to my old Toro because it is much quicker
Are you still using your Toro?
@@carlsmowerandsaw Once in a while mostly The gravely
@@JohnForgette-km1sl so you are becoming friends 😉
I was looking at the zt hd 60 but I think the 48 is gonna be the better option I have hilly areas and. Sharp ditches that I feel the smaller deck is gonna help me to cut them better and have a smoother cut and I also have tight areas with trees and obstacles
60 is a lot of machine. Our minds think we need a wider cut but often times that is not the best move. 48 is an excellent choice
@@carlsmowerandsaw it think it will be too. Just the 48 is rated for 3 acres I think it said on the spec sheet, I only have 1.5 so it’ll be enough machine for me 👍🏻
I have the exact 2022, and I'm incredibly pleased with the unit. Question: when it comes time what replacement battery would you buy for this machine?
The OEM battery works great. Although you can fit in an interstate sp40
@@carlsmowerandsaw Thank you
You mentioned on another video that you use non ethanol gas. The manual says to use unleaded 87 or higher. Any problems with leaded gas?
Thank you for reaching out. Yes you can use regular gasoline, but your likelihood of having fuel related issues increases greatly as the shelf life of regular gasoline is very short.
@@carlsmowerandsaw Thanks. I guess I'll go with a stabilizer, too
Bought one of these yesterday
Have you had an opportunity to mow with it yet?
@carlsmowerandsaw yes, first time today, it does a great job. Way better than my old setup
Nice
Very nice
Will there be any changes to this machine for 2024? Thanks!
There are a few changes coming later in 2024. Nothing massive.
For '24 , from what I've seen so far, looks like: price increase, higher back seat (24"), 7 gauge deck, aggressive tread rear tires
Why this over a JD mower?
Zero turn experience. Service? Usually Deere is focused on tractors
I just got me a zt HD 48 for$5600. 🥂
Great sale going on through April 8. Massive savings
@@carlsmowerandsawI bought my new 2023 Gravely ZT HD 60 on 03-22-2024 for $5,876 + tax here in Louisiana during Gravely’s “Mow the Distance” sales event. It’s my first Gravely purchase and I absolutely LOVE this machine 💯! Only thing I wish it had was 2 fuel tanks. With that said, I’m still able to cut all my grass on a full tank of gas. The main thing that sold me on the Gravely is that it has a 5.1 gallon fuel tank. The comparable Hustler model (Raptor XDX 60) only has a 3 gallon tank. The ZT HD has great reviews also. It is a well-built, quality made piece of equipment! I would have no problem buying another Gravely. They are awesome machines!! Thank You for all your videos!!!
I just bought this mower and I must say as of now I'm disappointed. My 5 year old simplicity handles a lot better and is much more nimble. The arms on this are quite stiff making it difficult to maneuver. It also goes pretty slow in reverse, gas tank is small, and the deck pops back up into the transport position if you hit too many bumps while you are mowing. You will keep mowing until you realize it went back up into the high position. Not sure if this is the dealer not putting it together correctly or if its the mower. I want to like it, especially after paying 5k, but so far I'm not impressed.
Which simplicity you replaced with it? I’m looking to buy one of those to replace simplicity regent
@@vityaak6898 48' courier.....I love that mower but the deck got a crack in it. Its not as fast or powerful as this gravely.....but it was easier to handle
The levers should not be “stiff” but should be smooth and create a nice fluid motion. What height of cut at you mowing at?
@@carlsmowerandsaw I ended up putting some WD40 on them and they loosened up quite a bit. I also had to tighten a few things to get the deck from slipping into the transport position. Its a lot better now.
