Gravely Riding Mowers Reviews

If I could give Gravely minus 100 review in stars I most certainly would!!!! My husband, who has a small business and has been mowing lawns for over 40 years, purchased a Gravely last year - to the tune of $18K!!!! He is in debt and paying monthly payments on it - for YEARS to come!!! He was told by the guy who sold it to him that Gravely was one of the BEST mowers out there! Of course that was an utter LIE, along with many other lies he has been told since the purchase. Of course he can take it in to be fixed "under warranty" - but the dealer is over an hour away - and then they have to keep it for days or even over a week sometimes! And what happens to his business / his customers during that time? EH? The machine has been nothing but a TOTAL LEMON! In less than one year - starting VERY SOON after he purchased it - the machine has been nothing but one issue after another.

To look over at it and notice transaxle oil On the floor so I took a look and yes to none serviceable. Transaxle was leaking from the brake lock are on the right side. You would think since it’s none serviceable it would have a longer warranty on it and to replace it you are looking at 1,000.00 just for the new transaxle not including labor to replace it. Plus I didn’t unit that much because The way they place are designed it blows down the grass when you go over look back. It’s like you’re never cut it. Poor design lawn mowers. I would never purchase another Gravely 42 zt x gravely Product of gravely ever again. 3,000.00 down the drain. Don’t waste your money on this junk.

I don't know how it broke but the mower only has 55 hrs on it. But it was like a weak bracket that the deck was mounted to.. For it to break off the front of frame it could of been, should of been support better. Weak design.

DON'T DO IT. CARBURETOR ISSUES (carb can’t handle spinning as zero turn). TOO LONG FRONT WHEEL BOLTS (mow backwards, revealing too long bolts UP FRONT ON WHEELS….DESIGNED (I’m guessing) to grab fences and gouge anything it touches. WHY? LEAKS OIL from every angle. Cuts like crap, even dew will mess this mower up. DO. NOT. BUY.

Terrible is all I can say. Had mine for 3 years. I had to replace the deck 3 times. The pro clutch 4 times. The brackets that holds up the deck breaks the weld real easy. Now my warranty is up and I just had a deck and clutch replaced like 8 months ago. They still replaced. They still replaced them both and I had to pay 432 for labor and I was telling them I haven’t been able to use my mower for a year straight yet. They are terrible.

Purchased my first Gravely mower in 2003. It ran for 17 years with very few problems. Purchase my new ZTX 42 three years ago, few minor problems. Very hard to work on (NO ROOM), peacock on side of mower does not work. Do NOT drop the filter as it will land in no man's land and take the hands of a one-year-old to retrieve, go back and look at how easy it was to work on my 2003 40", but I am sure that is by design, so you don't even try to work on it yourself!!! Engineers should have to use the products they design, instead of trying to justify their paycheck!!!!

I bought a brand new Gravely 260 pro turn. Everything is breaking on it to include the gas tank separated in half. When I say Everything I mean the gas gauges, forward drive and hydraulic drive pump. The front wheel spindles sized up. You can't cut grass with any moisture or it just throws out clumps. And the seat broke. It's the most expensive piece of junk I've ever bought.

Bought the Gravely Mack1 60 inch. Mower has 16 hours on it, the dealer said if anything went wrong that I would have a loaner till fixed, that didn't happen, blades stop engaging half way through yard mow, then you have to sit for an hour for them to engage. You shouldn't have to put up with that bull when you just bought a 16k retail mower. But here I am a week behind on yards waiting on gravely to decide if they will take care of their 5 year warrantied piece of crap. Pay the extra grand and get a Skag or Exmark.

Terrible design for changing oil. I should have asked for my money back the moment that they gave me plastic tubing to change my oil with. Now I have oil all over my garage floor and wished I would have chosen another brand. Jeff T

Owner of 2023 xp52, didn’t work first week, dealership in Waco Tx knows little, they picked up and repaired no paperwork saying what happened,,. Other bigger issues, calling corporate resulted in they are in training,,. Sigh just go to Lowe's or whatever, no dealer responsibility,,.
