    Finally settled on the equipment I am going to use this season. I do 49 lawns with the 52" Gravely and 42 lawns with the 34" Gravely. Hope everyone has a safe and productive year!

    Yes, the 52" is new. I bought it thursday. I have already done 24 lawns with it and absolutely love it.

    Does the deck on the 34 even come out past the outermost part of the tire?

    I don't think it does because they are not stock tires.

    It does, but just barely. They are not stock tires. The unit comes from the factory with 7 inch wide tires which rut badly and don't hold any slopes. The accounts I do with the little mower generally have a lot of edging and trimming anyway, that little extra bit does not really slow me down that much. I can still brely squeeze the machine through a 3 foot gate.

    Great set up! Do you plan to purchase a longer trailer to haul all that equipment at the same time? What size are you thinking if so?

    I am Looking at different prices in mower right now. How much was your 52" Gravely? Do you even us a push mower at all?
