Great analysis. I have a Gravely Pro Stance 48 and love it. I consider your minor complaint of the Gravely being long as a plus. I find it to be very well balanced. I didn’t know how good a machine this was until after I bought it.
Hannah wins you cheated Mitchell 🤣 l like the Wright because of Ed Wright l think if you had a serious problem Ed would be there for you and not Gravely l had 6 Gravely mowers in the mid 90/s and had a lot of service related problems you wouldn't have with other manufacturers also l think it's a good idea to have the drive tires close to the mower deck almost hitting it take care my friend 😁
Awesome video. Only thing I think you missed was cut quality. I’m sure Wright > gravely on that. I’m a scag owner and I feel scags cut quality powers over any other brand (IMO). But again killer video definitely like the comparison
Dude! While I was editing this video it hit me like a freight train! I failed to mention cut quality. I put both mowers on the same properties with same conditions and they performed dang near identical. Different regions and types of turf would most likely skew that.
I would love to demo a wright mower but the closest dealer is almost 2 hours away. Looks like you took the victory but I bet you still bought dinner 😎🤠👊🏼💯
Would have been cool if, when you said Hannah come here, that Hannah came there. Filming from the front when you're trying to show controls doesn't make a lot of sense.
My comment had to do with the Gravely being too long with the platform down. I mentioned this discrepancy in the video actually. With the platform folded up on the Gravely you are correct, the Wright is 3" longer. But while you're mowing the Gravely is much longer overall. Thanks for tuning in W
I think,,Wright mowers are pretty good ,, but gravely mowers are right there with the best of them, we have a pro, turn 48, an its, a really good mower, gravely is making good quality mowers, there built thick an tough..
Wow I wish those were the prices today. I’m going into my second year in business @Marcoslawncare1 and I want a wright x 52 cost almost 13k here in New Jersey
I had a gravely 152, It never gave a good cut. The Wright had a better cut and the belt routing is awesome.. I am in Florida and the Wright gives a great cut to the point where neighbors comment about the lawn "looking good"
This year (2022) I tried a gravelly 52 at a dealership...not sure if it was a '21 or '22, but what impressed me the most was that it seemed that the machine was designed specifically for inexperienced employees to where anyone could drive the thing and never tear up the turf. I was actually blown away by this. It seemed as if the drive wheels were somehow synced up to go in and out of turns so smoothly as to not cause damage. Did you find this to be true as well?
Another great video! I like watching comparison videos like that. I agree about the oil change on the Wright. Tried it on a demo and busted my knuckle open and bruised the side of my hand when it let lose. 😖😤

Good morning mr. Mitch just wanted to say you and your wife make a nice good looking couple and God bless the both of you and give you strength to press on forward even in difficult times you all may go through but I love your videos Man
Very informative Bud. I can say because I heard it from Ed himself is they make their pad flat so they don't hold water & dry better. And.... you were a bit bossy wit Hannah Bro.!!😂👍. Hoping all is well guys, Dirty Jersey out!! #broinlawns
I put both mowers on the same properties with same conditions and they performed dang near identical. Different regions and types of turf would most likely skew that. I have heard pros and cons to both mowers from contractors in different geographical regions. Best advice, demo before purchase. Neither mower offers a bagging system like the Toro or SCAG.
Good reviews! For me, Ed Wright is why Wright mowers are where they are today. I run Scag’s because of my dealer, but if there was a Wright dealer closer, and the dealer was worth it, I’d be interested in trying them out.
I love the Wrights. Only mower I wanna run. Can just cut the side of the pulley covers off and then just grind down the edges to make them smooth so that there's no sharp edges for anyone to get cut.
@@mithgo_outdoor no problem thanks for the video and bringing that up how much debris gets stuck in there and giving me the idea to just cut it off when it comes in hahaha. Can't wait for this snow to melt and spring to get here.
How do like the Gravely Chute Blocker? Just bought a Pro stance 52 and looking at ordering one. I noticed you have the pulley cover removed, is that a must for operation?
Being 100% transparent I think it needs a little more engineering to be perfect. On slopes it wants to shut. On the 48 the pulley cover would not go back on with the chute blocker installed...why, I've not clue? If I owned the ProStance I'd probably go with a different brand like Qwikchute.
I use an oil extractor. Under my Mower Maintenance playlist you’ll see it on the ZK oil change video. Link for it in my description...it works great. Still doesn’t help with getting the oil filter on and off ugh
You made an excellent point about the deck covers. Ive thought the exact thing, im sure there is a reason they aren't open on the end but it would be far easier to get someone to blow it every yard if they didn't need to do anything.
It’s not a common comparison when putting mowers head to head. We all know that mower decks cake on grass and it’s not something that will make or break a sale. Between the two, the Stander X is easier to scrape because there are less bolt heads in the way. Blade sharpening is irrelevant when comparing mowers. If you want to know more about blade sharpening I have many videos here on my channel about it. Thanks for tuning in
@@mithgo_outdoor here is a link to a mower with tool-less deck removal, not ZTR, but same principle. Access to the blades and scraping is tougher as you age, I'm 60.

The Z3X is not a comparable mower in this segment since it is not available with a 48" deck. Did you mean the Z1X? I don't know of anyone that runs the Z1X, only the Z3X.
Why would someone compare a mid grade Wright machine, against the top machine that Gravely makes? The ZK Wright is better in every category than the Gravely. Maybe you are new to the mowing industry.
🤣 you clearly don’t know what you’re talking about. The Stander X and the Gravely ProStance are both in the same category. Also, the Stander X isn’t a “mid-grade” mower. The X is a 100% commercial mower and was the first frame design offered by Wright Mfg years ago. Not everyone needs the larger frame mowers like a ZK. Also, Gravely doesn’t currently make a stand on mower that compares to the ZK, hence why I didn’t do a comparison video between the two. Maybe you should educate yourself on mowers before commenting next time. Have a great day
@@mithgo_outdoor I am sorry. Hate to break it to you, but the X is Wright's mid-grade entry. Everyone that I know who owns a commercial landscape company would purchase the Wright ZK. Apparently you are not as smart or successful, so you have to purchase the lesser machine. Have a better day.
@@TheLjel I wish I had time in my day to comment garbage on people’s videos. Thanks for helping the algorithm and getting this video more money 😝 Have a great day gods gift to the lawn care industry! Maybe we can collab in the future and you can teach me all you know Oh Wise One 😘 😂 ✌🏼

Wright mowers quality is second to none. Grateful for a company to make such a quality machine.
They certainly make high quality mowers! Thanks for watching
Agreed, I have 3 wrights and I wont even consider switching.
I definitely like how you raise the mower deck with your foot on the gravely, easily avoid objects without slowing down
Jon that is such a cool feature! I wish it was on the Wright's honestly...it comes in very handy.

I'm confused by your Gravely's too long comment. According to literature, the wright is 3" longer than the Gravely.

That Gravely looks like it got a bigger deck then a 48. The front looks massive. Nice video Mitchell
it definitely creates that illusion doesn't it? Hope you have been doing well Scott!

Do a review on a right ZK
I can do that no problem
Thanks
You got a favorite stand on mower?? Mine is the Toro Grandstand for overall. I’m curious your thoughts on that mower…
If i had to pick a current favorite, it would be the Wright Stander ZK61. I don't know anything about the Grandstant, never been on one.
I would give my left nut to own one of these.. My landcare business still relies on 2 Honda push mowers...
😂 hang in there man and keep up the hard work!

that's great !
The engine on the Gravely is frame mounted, not floating with the deck. Doesnt that mean more belt stretching when you change the height of cut?
Yes the belts move when changing the height of the deck. This is one reason why I preferred the Wright Standers over the Gravely.

What about cut quality which one is better and do either of these mowers can you get a bagging system for like the Toro grandstand
I put both mowers on the same properties with same conditions and they performed dang near identical. Different regions and types of turf would most likely skew that. I have heard pros and cons to both mowers from contractors in different geographical regions. Best advice, demo before purchase. Neither mower offers a bagging system like the Toro or SCAG.
I just literally changed the oil in my stander x yesterday and I said some dirty words also. They could do better with that for sure.

What’s the chute blocker on the gravely
Hello Chad, it’s made by Gravely for the ProStance.
You made an excellent point about the deck covers. Ive thought the exact thing, im sure there is a reason they aren't open on the end but it would be far easier to get someone to blow it every yard if they didn't need to do anything.
I’ve thought about cutting the ends off of them so they would be open.
Takes 2 seconds to deactivate the handle kill switch. I always do it
I’ve never been in favor of removing a safety switch on any piece of equipment. I certainly couldn’t do it on a demo unit. 😬
Great video. Thanks for taking the time to do such a thorough review.
Thanks for tuning in! Hopefully it was helpful

Why no comparison on how to clean underside of deck. The toughest most frequent maintenance is cleaning the packed in grass and blade sharpening.
