Here we are reviewing a brand new 2024 Gravely ZTX 42inch cut zero turn lawn mower now with 70 hours. Overall I really like the lawn mower and would recommend it! I hope you enjoy this video. Leave a comment or ask a question!
I got the 2023 Gravely ZT X 42 with bagger (not power bagger). It's AWEFUL!! I do NOT recommend. 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! It's absolutely awful. I was advised 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 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 and looks. Also, when you lift the deck opening to see the belts etc, it gets incredibly all full of grass/sticks/leaves, like way too much. There's HUGE design flaws in this 2023 ZT X 42! BEWARE! I sold this mower despite having it for 1 season and the new one I got, (different company with Kawasaiki engine) works great and as it should. The Gravely is flashy and looks nice but man-o-man, did AWFUL at cutting functioning. Thankfully I was able to sell it readily
Dang I have not tried a bagger with it but I like the way the 3 blades chop up the grass clippings and leave the lawn looking nicely cut. I don’t have a lot to compare this mower to but overall I am satisfied with it. What did you end up going with after selling?
@@LagersLawn glad you're satisfied with it! I dunno what the issue with mine was, maybe just the 42" deck has a design flaw or something. I ended up getting a Cub Cadet and it works a lot better.. no more spewing dibris out all sides of the deck, including up into the belts area. Much better. I wish The Gravely didn't have the major issue but it did
I got the 2024 Cub cadet 42 Fab (fabricated deck). It’s been far better and works how I’d expect a zero turn mower to work and mow. Its price is also a lot better.. doesn’t have some of the bells/whistles but it’s fine with me. I had an hour counter for like 40 bucks added on at the build. Well worth it for re-sell but also scheduled maintenance
