Gravely ZT HD60 Zero -Turn Review

Was looking for a solid Zero Turn mower that had a lot of commercial features without spending a lot of $. Lot of great options out there...I settle on the Gravely ZT HD with the 60" deck.

I bought a Gravely ZT HD 60 4 weeks ago, I love it. I also ordered a Trac Seat from "Trac Seat Company" and installed it myself ($250 worth every penny). Awesome ride now, with the trac seat suspension Plus the Factory rubber isolaters. NOTE: the Xfactor III deck is a 7 Gauge steel construction (Gravely Websight stats), thickest deck made (ferris makes them 7 gauge as well). Also the Xfactor III deck has a slopped front plate, this allows the grass time to stand up straight before the blades cut it. I blow out the air cleaner area after each use, heard that keeping the air cleaner clean on these Kawasaki engines prevents premature problems. I also blow the hydro gear fans off to keep them clean as well, easy to get to them with the seat flipped forward. Enjoy your new mower, I certainly am mine!! I mow 4 acres in 1.5 hours now, used to take 4 hours with my cub cadet.

I have a new 2023 Gravely ZT HD 60. I absolutely LOVE it. I bought a Trac Seat Suspension Kit and a Heavy Duty Canister Air Filter Kit for it. Both are well worth the money and must haves. The suspension seat will help with back pain and the canister air filter will save the engine in the long run. I highly recommend both!! I also bought a Gravely rubber floor mat to help with feet vibration, plus it makes the machine look better. The only thing I wish the ZT HD had is dual fuel tanks. If I had to do it again, I probably would have went with the Pro Turn 160. Regardless though, Gravely all the way!

My father bought an 812 in 1977 and it lasted forever. Great mower.

I bought the "Stealth" model (black) last year with the 52" deck. It's the model that comes with the Rubber Floor pan matt and LED Lights. Mowed 38 times and put 47 hours on it so far. Ordered it with Gravely's Suspension Forks, Full Suspension Seat, Enter/Exit Assist Handle, Tow Hitch and Striping Kit. I just couldn't leave it alone, so I bought a Green Guard Chute Blocker, Upgraded Air Filter System, Stainless Oil Drain Hose and replaced all the skateboard tape with Rubber 'Diamond Plate'!🤓

First of all I want to give you credit for a top-self video. Just recently purchased a ZT X 48, Shout out to Hope Mills Saw, Hope Mills, NC for their excellent customer service 10 out of 10.

Nice, informative video and produced/edited well.
I just forked over the cash for the same model in 52”. Take delivery tomorrow. Hope it works out as well as my last one that was 20+\- years old.

Great video these are excellent machines my family we’ve used them for years no complaints. Good reliability.

Mines 13 yrs old with the Kawi. great machine.

Really liked the review. I keep coming back to this model after researching the same ones you mentioned. Think I’m gonna pick one up.

I bought the ZT HD 48" with the Kohler engine a few months ago. I was aiming for the Kawasaki engine, but the Kohler was available. My dealer told me that in his 30 years of selling zero turns, as long as you keep your engine properly serviced, he has not seen any difference in reliability between the two engines. So I got the Kohler engine. In fact, not only is the Kohler engine cheaper than the Kawasaki, but it is also 2 horsepower higher than the Kawasaki for the same mower. I'll take that extra power with my hills.

I did the factory seat up grade and man oh man what a difference.

I've ran mine now for 3 seasons, flawless use, only problem I had this year was the fuel filter, (vapor lock) .. the cause is the location of the filter, it lays against the engine block, so a new length of hose and a new location , problem solved , hopefully I'll have a second unit bought by the end of this season,

With the review you've given on the Gravely 60" cut, how much difference would you say for the 52" cut since the 60" would be to big for me?

[michaelmc]

It’s 50/50 on the reviews on how people like them and their quality.

[travisricks]

Installing a Trac Seat suspension kit on that mower will make you feel like you’re riding on air. It’s well worth the money.

[leesales]

How tall are you? I’m 6 foot three and that mower looks like it would be too cramped for me

[jimeckenrode]

My grass cutting guy has a Gravely with 10, 000 hours on it, it just keeps on going.

Would take any mower with a better trans axel 3100 have been known for issues and weak reliability. At least get the 3400 series or larger if commercial usage or large 4-6 acres
