All I run are Gravely's/Ariens.
'02 PM262 60" w/ 25 hp Kawi
'02 ProG belt drive 36" with sulkie
'03 Ariens commercial wlk behind (should have paid the extra $200 for the heavier Gravely unit-crew is kind of hard on equipment)
I put on at least 500 hrs pr year on the equipment. However, with the way the phone is ringing now, I think it will go to around 800 or so.
There is a lot of equipment out there, what and how I choose is more due to dealer support than bells and whistles.
I seriously considered Walker, but the dealer is at least one hour away one way and I can't loose that much time for warranty issues.
After using the Gravely equipment, I am very pleased with it and am looking to purchase the Z34 34" ZTR.
