Opinions on gravely ztr

Hey everyone, just figured I'd get an opinion on gravely mowers. Found me one with 900 hours 60 inch cut and 27 hp kawai motor for 3500. Says it just needs some new blades. Just figured I'd get some professional opinions, I've read a lot of great things on exmark, hustler, etc. but if anyone has some experience with gravely I would love to hear some opinions good or bad. Thanks!!

I stopped by a long time gravely dealer last week only to find that he stopped selling them. about 10 years ago he only sold Gravely but he said that in the past few years every aspect of commercial lawn mowing has gone down hill by gravely. It all started with his sales numbers but he was starting to see more of them coming in for warranty work which if you know gravely, that doesn't happen, but he said the overall quality had gone down so much that it just wasn't worth keeping them on board. now he sells exmark and Wright and wishes he would have done it a long time ago.

I find this very hard to believe!? Your right though, if you know Gravely this just doesnt sound right at all.
