Wet Tall Grass-Even Standing water-Brutal Review of Gravely's Best Residential Lawn Mower
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 окт 2024
- We put this mower in Long WET grass, standing water, & places I've seen a Commercial mower FAIL! Just because its one of the "best sold" residential mowers doesn't mean we are going to be nice or play nice. We will look at cut quality and construction. I want to see why Gravely is statistically one of the best selling residential mowers in America. Sponsored by Gravely but Not edited or even viewed by them before release. Basically they had no clue or control over what I say.

“It’s like he’s being chashed by a bumble bee”😂😂 I heard the frustration in your voice
I literally died laughing when the kid replied to his dad after he explained the pattern with “ oh yea, I got this”. And then we see him getting chased by a bumble bee 😂😂😂🤣
That cracked me up too, very funny.
I love how you allowed your son to have some fun, learn and have quality time with his dad. I haven't watched a lot of your videos and its nice to see another side of you sir! Keep on testing equipment and showing people how hard work pays off. Thank you for making a variety of great videos.
Didn't want to engage PTO on dirt. Smart kid.
@4:37 He wanted to start over that way grass won't get on the street . Very smart talented Kidd 👌
Good kid = Good father !
Oh shut up my dad goes over gravel with the pto on
@@Theslugger2332 Good For him He is an asswipe 😂😂
@@ainachok8428 you can go over dirt and gravel nothing will happen it will just kick up dust and gravel
Dang if I'd told my dad I know I know I know like that he would have ripped me off that mower so fast.
same
I’ve never hit my kids, but I wanted to snatch this kid up just watching the video. Phew.
My dad hit me a lot
Sounds a bit abusive. You all may wanna see someone about that. 😢 Too many people…not enough hugs 🤗
Bro, your soooo right, I would have been beat 😂
0:40 wow he is almost going as fast as the city workers that cut my school field! They are practicing their racing line
Seriously, I'm I'm Michigan and those guys fly on the mowers! No womder it looks like crap and always looks like it needs to be mowed. They're not cutting much at those speeds! Lol
Danielle Shirey lmao cus they jus tryna get home
They be flyin in the soccer field
Great video. I’m 35 years in the landscaping, mowing, and pesticides/fertilization business. Commercial snow plowing. We like Ferris mowers. I’m 51 and still hitting it. My father established Meisenzahl Lawn and Landscape in 1984. I took it over in 1998. My Dad is 78 years old and still hops on a Ferris till around noon. The best part of the morning at the shop with my Dad and the crew is this... Dad would say “don’t be afraid of raising the blades boys if the lawns tall”. He likes giving orders, well... he has that right. Anyway, I love your videos. Stay safe.
Thanks Donald and that's an awesome story!
Super excited to see your son mowing! My 13 year old son has been working for me all summer. He turned into a weed whacking son of a gun. Nothing is better than working outside every day with your boy.
Thanks, yes its pretty cool!
Watching that kid pic and swat at himself started making me itch.
He was swating at biting flies.
Hahahaha. I love it! Finally someone did a review of the Gravely line. I've been running a HD60 for almost 2 years. Bought a Pro Z60 this year to add to the fleet.
Both mowers ARE tanks! I got hit head on by a drunk coming home from a days mowing. Trailer full of gear. Mower took it like a champ, only had to replace front forks as they took the brunt of the wreck.
Couldn't agree more with the butter smooth controls.
Love my Gravelys!!!
Thanks John ! Glad that you are ok!
That HD 60 is a bad ass mower, and comfortable also!
Man it’s nice to know there’s other young guys doing this I’ve got my own mowing business and I’m 15 I maintain 25 yards on a weekly basis I’ve bought two cubcadet ridding mowers and 2 sthil weed eaters
the American boy n good for you that’s awesome to hear I am 17 mowing 20 sum accounts also us young guys gotta keep up the hustle
Man that is awesome. I’m 15 as well. Have 2 mowers. A scag and a walker. I have 58 accounts to handle a week. I’m glad to see other teens are doing this.
the American boy n I mow my bosses bosses lawn and weed whack the farm I’m 14
Fuckin wish i cd get a job there
I’m 13 mowing about 30 and have a cub cadet Ztr and a sthil fs 94
I run 2 gravely mowers for my lawn business and absolutely love them. Planning on getting a 60" gravely next year.🤞
DM you should start a second channel making videos of your son mowing in 3x speed with some Benny Hill music in the background.
He already mows in 3x speed 😳
and no rocks wtf i go 5 feet and tall grass and smoke a 3 incher lol
Or be so lucky and catch the Barb-wire.... Then i'm done for the day. Ill give her ago tomorrow haha
@@chrisl2090 The worst is when you're weedeating fenceline on an Airforce base where they moved all the fences back and having some of the barbed wire from the old fence that you didn't see whip back up at your face lol
@@michaelstout776 damn
@ Its Kaidin - try living next to a Little League ball field and nailing a baseball everytime!
Its Kaidin a space boulder!
I have this mower and love it. Just finished mowing 8" high grass down to 3.5" on the first pass no clumps and fanned the grass out so no need to double mow or pick up the grass. Have had some warranty items but my dealer has taken care of them with absolutely no hassle.
Good to know you they took care of the problems, thanks for watching !
That's possibly more fun for him at his age than driving a go-cart. Nice job!
give him a push mower he will quickly learn how to make straight lines and be efficient
Great video. My friend down the street has that mower. He comes down to my house and cuts the grass, being that I have cancer and cannot do it. It takes him less than half has long as it took me. It is a fantastic machine!!!
That’s great man how are you feeling
That little gravely seemed to mow the tall stuff well. I'm impressed 🤷
Give him a 21” push mower and he will learn how to mow without doubling over everything at random.
FishFind3000 when I was his age I used to cut about a 400 feet long yard, dead straight and no missed spots, with a crappy tractor style ride on lol
I started out with an 18" push mowin 3 acres...ya learn real quickly.
I wouldn't trade those summers for the world, back in the good ole days
RazorHog56 my parents owned 4 1/2 acres and we had a 42” rider, with rows of trees everywhere I could cut for two hours almost every day all summer and never be cutting grass that doesn’t need to be cut
You have to overlap with grass that tall
It has to be overlapped when the head is tell like that, so it can be munched.
I’ve seen some commits saying that the dad is being mean to the son. That he needs to enjoy that his son is wanting to spend time with him. He’s not being rude he’s just giving HIS child a simple direction that he sometimes didn’t follow. And he does seem pretty happy to see his son following in his foot steps
Lol lil homie took off at the beginning 🤣
🌱 🌱 🏎 💨
Wow. That thing is a beast! And good job spending time with your kid. Being a dad is the most important job.
That's for sure, thank you !
your son is awesome, made me smile. it will come in time. My youngest doesn't want to run my Gravely because he doesn't think he could keep the lines as nice as I do, at least your son is out there giving his all.
Thank you Steve!
I was 8 years old and started with an old pish mower snapper, i learned fast how to mow a lawn!
Awesome Oscar, thank you for watching !
You should give him a walk behind so he will appreciate a zero turn.
I used to prefer a z but now im a fan of the walk behind. With the valky of course. Lol.
I have a bobcat walk behind id rather have it than a zt. Put the velky on it and it goes.
LMAFOOOO
@@cabincrew9748 yea that kid wouldn't be wanting to mow anymore i bet.
I'd much rather run a push mower
I know dad I know.😆 I remember those days
They all say " I know, I know " lol
Neighborhood Lawn Care & Maintenance LLC I know
Mowing in shorts and flip-flops...way to go.
As if jeans and boots would help against a lawnmower blade....
I cut in crocs a lot, sometimes shorts. Whats the issue?
I’ve mowed wearing flip flops and shorts all my life, just need hearing/eye protection.
@@chrisbaer4567 my mower sheared off the blade bolt and spat the blade right out , the only reason i have toes is my steal cap boots so yes they do there job
Brae Nic Keen were you sitting on the mower? im actually curious to know how it hit your feet?
I’m sorry Stan but that was funny as hell when your kid was mowing at the end
But hell he is probably one of the few kids who even go out side anymore
Must be your son lol. You’re talking to him like it lol. Sound like my dad always getting after me LOL
I love Gravely. I dont see many around though. At work, we have 4 Gravely tractors from the early 80s and they still work like new!
I run a 60" Gravely HD and we have had it for about 3 years now we have had no problems with the the mower or the power it still has and I have put about 200 hours on it and mow both my lawn and neighbors lawns and the stripes are amazing with the lawn mower. Best investment ever.
Very impressive. The boy is strong with the grass force!! Great video guys!❤
I have been very satisfied with my Gravely. Using my Pro Turn 52 w/ Kawasaki yesterday I was able to take down over an acre of super thick brush also wet from the rain. Most of it was 8'-10' Dogfennel mixed with grass 3 ft.+ and even young scrub oaks. Cut the entire property down to 3.5-4" I was impressed with how well I was able to take it down. The fresh set of notched high lift blades helped a lot too.
Just want too tell you that this video is the reason I decided to look at Gravely in the first place. Ill be purchasing my Pro Turn 52 this month
Them two fight every time, he wants to do it his way but dad be trying to teach him something. just like when we were a kid we wanted to do it our way.
My 78 year old dad mows pulling a wagon. Then he stops and breaks sticks into 4 inch pieces. I go down and finish mowing with my Gravely. His yard usually looks like a maze. But I still love him.
Man ,the comments,it's a review people,BRUTAL REVIEW,perfect location,perfect driver,good video
I have the gravely proturn 60 as my main mower and for the price it’s an absolute work horse. Gravely builds great units
Yes they do.
I run gravely an love them..good cut an reliable...Coomlers Lawn Care...Indiana
One like for every time the kid touched his head🤦🏻♂️
jrbvids 😂😂😂😂
Bought a Graverly 52 for my house and absolutely love the mower.
2:54 Previous Lawn mower record before they were killed by a speeding vehicle.
Watching this makes me want to buy this mower.
This is what I wanted to see. I work a lot so sometimes I can't mow for an extra week etc... it was hammering through, still blowing it out two rows away. I'm sold.
Damn I really like that mower..it made such lite work of that tall grass beside the road..very impressed!
I think your son likes the zero turn aspect of driving a zero turn mower, lol!
Your boy did great!
Not a bad performance for that homeowner ZTR as well.
Great job dad so glad your son gets out my 8 year old loves to get out and hell we gotta teach these kids hard work and your doin a great job 👍
I think this mower is going to be my next mower after what I seen you did with it
He's mowing WAY too fast through the tall grass. Doesn't it make sense to slow down? The mower needs to catch up too!
I think that’s why they called it a “brutal test”
He's a kid. More power!!!
Good video on the patience of a good dad. Hope that lawn skill has improved in 2022.
Awesome to see you teaching your son skills to pay the bills ! My son is 29 just asked me to show him how to run a chainsaw ! Smart boy savin the your blades !
I just bought a new 48”snapper 460z and I love it
First off, I love your videos, your relationship with your employees, family focus, and it's truly none of my business, but no hearing protection and the flip-flop/slides society makes me insane. Those things are for the beach lol. PPE is paramount. Keep the videos coming.
Thanks for the feedback William and thank you for viewing !
Gas in the road is a no no that's like ice the people who ride motor cycles
Do you mean Grass- misspelling is like fingernails on the caulk board to teachers😉😝
@@jimbernard71 do you mean chalk board because a caulk board is like fingernails on it to carpenters.
@@Sara-L Nice blast! Phones picking the wrong word or even a non word is so aggravating. Especially on top of bad spelling. Ain't it great?...
Ive been in the biz for 26 years and started with Ferris mowers then to Exmark and now currently run Gravely and IMO the Gravely has been the best mower ive owned. I currently have 1500 hours on my 60" Pro Turn and so far no major problems...we have replaced belts, 1 spindle bearing, and PTO switch. So far so good its been a great mower
That's awesome Kevin!
Bro just keep your hands on the grips. Thats how you cut straight
Bleach I know right
Actually you can take your hands off of the controls of a gravely. They don’t automatically return to the neutral position.
i think some zero turns don’t automatically return to neutral position if the hand is taken off it
I have a kubota zero turn and I love that thing, as he said built like a tank.
For sure, what's your favorite thing about it?
Its good to Always keep your foot on the deck lift incase you run into a stone or something else you can lift is asap
Thanks for sharing your info and video 'very interesting 👍
No problem Lloyd, thank you !
Both my boys did that bumblebee thing 😂
I remember being that age I remember the thought process Of being an early teen
not necessarily, he's also on the spectrum.....
This kids like, “SHUT UP I KNOW WHAT IM DOING!!!!”
😂😂😂😂
Ikr
Lol. I am sure we were all like that as kids. I know when dad first let me run the mower when was 12 or 13, despite watching him mow our yard a certain way for years, I did it my own way.
Jason Po yea I can attest to that
i have been running gravely for 5 years. i mow in Kansas city, mo. we have extremely wet springs and grass grows crazy fast out here!!!! i absolutely love my gravelys. a pro turn 260 with gator blades will take down anything in its path while providing a quality cut. i recommend them 10 out of 10 times.
4:48 classic dad moment
Cool to see father and son videos need to see it more often be cool and to see him run other equipment and I NEED TO GET ONE OF THESE MOWERS
You just need to turn your son over to Frankie and go take a nap...
Signing the paperwork on a 2021 HD 52 on Saturday. Looking forward to striping my lawn like a golf course this weekend 👍
The ZT HD is definitely suitable for commercial use. I use it for my business, the Gravely is built like a tank, has the same frame and spindles as the 'commercial' (Pro Turn) models, the only difference is the engine HP and transmission torque which is a little more on the Pro Turn's. Maybe the HD isn't the best choice for huge properties/contracts, though it would do fine, but it's definitely more than good enough for a bunch of houses every day without fail. I love my Gravely.
Have you ever had problems with the PTO not engaging after the mower cuts for a while? I have the ZT HD 44 because it’s the only mower built well enough to use commercially and it fits in my current trailer.
@@ronaldmedellin7924 no problems at all.
I have the exact same mower! I am very satisfied with it performance. It is a resi/commercial mower.I always wear head phones and pants when I cut. The mulch kit is a great accessory!
I think it's great you let you son help and maybe even learn a few things along the way because it will give him confidence too! I love your channel and videos;
Thanks Luke, and thanks for the support!
the boy is doing a good job. That's the mower i'm looking to buy here in Australia. $12000 over here though.
This ZT HD 60 was my first mower starting my lawn business last year and it does great. I did have a drive belt stretch at 170 hrs which was odd but other than that no problems. I do think the motor will be the biggest draw back in the long run.
I have the Kawasaki 24 hp. Two hours a week seven months a year for 14 years. Engine is great.
This gravely is a straight up work horse.hard to believe it’s residential
I recently got the exact same one she’s a beast
@@drewmitchell1937 same here just bought one myself and it’s incredible.
Just went and got the HD 60. Happy so far. Going to save lots of time for mowing and I opened up some more lawn since I got a bigger faster mower.
Props to your boy for wanting to mow the roadside. He did a good job, and the mower did as well. I just wish more companies went into the 32" deck size area. Thanks for the video.
Thanks Justin !
I run gravely. I have a 2016 pro turn 60”. Never had a problem with it except for my dealer. The things are beasts
I love the gravely pro 40 wak behind from 1984
We have a 60 inch gravely pro turn and we absolutely love it😂
That's great Lleyton, what do you like best about it ?
That thing better than our commercial bobcat
Love a residential review. This is what I'm in the market for in the next year or so. Mowing about 2 acres. Just need to find the best bang for my buck, with my smaller checkbook.
Thanks Zac, hope the video helped you out
I have the same mower. It had a bad belt shake when I got it and my dealer/gravely retrofit it with an anti-vibration kit. It made such an improvement I posted a video of it (and I don't do videos). I love it. I looked at several brands and no other even came close in that price range. I've been very impressed with some of the design features.
I have the ZTHD 60. I love it. I have 5 acres and it saves me 6 hours a week compared to my 46 inch cub cadet rider. I know my Gravely is 14 bigger deck. But to save that much time.
The fuel window is by the ZTHD 52 Decal. I have a ZTHD 48 and Ive taken it through 4-5 ft tall grass. I was impressed, but then again this is my first zero turn. I use mine commercially also. It wa s just over $5,000 and thats why I purchased it. But I'm very happy with it. It is a tank!
As a motorcycle rider, I'm really hoping you cleared the grass he blew into the road.
That mower is a beast !
Gravely is the only zero turn commercial mowers I will run. I have 2. Get a review on a proturn 472.... my buddy has one and leaves absolutely no grass shoots behind you no matter how tall. Straight beast.
I was going to say that gravely took that grass like a champ. I got an old gravy a pro series still going strong 60 inch deck with hydraulic to raise and lower the deck awesome machine
This mower is a beast. I have a 60 inch zt hd that I'm mowing 8 acres with. I'm on year two with it with nothing but routine maintenance. Also I was told to not have the throttle at max when engaging the pto because it stretches the belt.
That makes sense about the PTO.
That's interesting because the manual says to put the throttle in "fast position" and then engage the PTO.
Your son did a great job
Thank you !
Thank You for this video review! I am buying an HD52 this week and I *can't wait* to get it!
Hope you enjoy it Will, thank you !
I have this same mower 44inch. It’s a great mower. I’ve had no issues and I do about 3 acres a week.
I believe this is the same mower as the Ariens Apex (Ariens owns Gravely). Looking at purchasing the Ariens version of this. Glad it is a solid machine!
Your not alone my kid Went to the same school grass cutting is yours in circles and random patterns I understand
I do dont know how it makes sense in their minds
When I was a kid, my dad did the perimeter for me. So I'd mow in the inside. It gave me an imprint to eventually do it myself.
Gravely has been around for years....I had a bobcat and wanted to get a new one so I went to Bobcat and looked at the 60...12k and this was like 7yrs ago I believe. So I was like omg so I went and looked at the rest of the brands and my local hardware was a big Gravely dealer so I went by there and was shocked. 1st off the bobcat and Gravely,s deck is built same way same gauge steel and both are chain hung decks...both had the same motor spec for spec..only difference was grease fitting points. Gravely is sealed and bobcat had all the normal locations for grease points.....commercial pro 60 at that time was 7k......I was shocked that compared to a 60 in bobcat same steel deck and motor and all around machine it was 5k difference. So I bought the Gravely and it has been a beast of a mower ever since and the ones today with all the upgrades and they have went with I mean there a superior mower with great power at a awesome price💯💯
Nice mower. You should do some Simplicity mowers. I've always been a fan/user of their mowers from old to new. Just a thought
I use a 52" Gravely at the house and a 60" HD at my Farm. Biggest problem I had was a screw coming out of the arm cushion. Gravely makes a BEAST of a mower. Won't ever own anything else.
i have one. it has REALLY good traction. I can mow sideways on a pretty steep 45 angle and it doesnt want to slip down. I own a small lawn care business and I cut 15 acres a week with it. the only thing i dont care about it, is its really slow and doesnt always cut the grass good. Although it will cut through wet and tall grass easily!
Great video! Very cool! US DADS ARE ALWAYS BOSSY! LOL!
Lol, thanks Jim!!
