Gravely Pro Walk is the best walk behind, along with Exmark. Both are hydrostatic and have very large drive wheels, are commercial and Controls are the same, along with Kawasaki engines.
@@stephensurratt2909 Absolutely! But one of the things never mentioned about the proWalk If is that evacuates the deck So completely without hardly any build up at all. I don't know of any other walk behind which functions this way, A beautiful. Cut and a completely evacuated underside of the deck Without any build up of grass. I used mine in an entire summer last year and found nearly nothing under the deck. It's unlike any other mower that i've had. Thanks for the feedback and affirmation.
Exmark is pretty much the best all round for lawn care but I can also say that scags up there with it, seeing how the swz is one of my favorite mowers full stop.
Gravely prowalk beats them all. Longest warranty. Largest rear tires for greatest hill climb slope. Beefiest construction. Excellent cut as good as anyone else. Single hand operation to adjust height of cut. Intuitive and easy controls. Back by over a hundred years of tradition. I vote gravely number one!!! X mark have reliability problems. Going up hills with the Ferris, And you will need a weight kit on the front wheels, Screwing up the quality of the cut on the level areas of the lawn.
What would you recommend for a homeowner with just under 1/2 an acre? Currently using an Exmark Commercial 30, takes me roughly 50-60 minutes by the time I mow, trim, and blow the driveway and walkways. I am bagging currently so that does factor into the time but I'm trying to get down to under a half hour for everything.
You are wrong. Don't believe me? Try going up hills Greater than or equal to 15 Degrees and watch what happens to the front end. Try it with all the machines listed here. And you'll find that There is only one machine that can handle the hills Without the front end raising Up into the air. It's called engineering. Gravely has it and the others do not. The other machines will tell you that they need a weight kit to keep the front end down, Which then puts the machine out of balance on everything except for hills. Why? It is the center of gravity of the machine, And you will readily notice it on the Gravely because the engine is shifted forward towards the front wheels. Then look at the size of the tires, Specifically the width. The width of the tire is critical to maintain stability on turns and up hills. Gravely has it again.
@@frankie7508this is just entirely false, there’s hills that are 20-30 degrees I can do with the xmark turf tracer walk behind that the gravelly wouldn’t even come close to holding. Does it require technique? Yes but no matter what mower you are on the front in is going to raise on a hill with a 300-500 pound engine behind it. (Even the gravely I know it’s more central) but the weight of the gravely compared to xmark is incredibly noticeable using have using both. And with the front end coming up if you are too weak to simply just hold it down then that sounds like an operator problem not a mower problem. the And let’s not forgot to think about down hill. A gravely could not nose dive anyhing over 8-10 degrees without slipping and losing control. Walk behind exmark can easily hold 12-13 degrees downslopes nose diving if you walk beside it and go very slow. The gravely is a great option if you can’t mow super steep hills and and want something more forgiving for little hills 8 -10 degress but for anything that’s actually steep it simply weights to much. but if you can there is no hill that a gravely can do that a walk behind cant do. It simply weighs to much to do anything super steep. Plus If I have a flat surface at the bottom for my feet and just doing one to two strips I can do up so 40-50 degree inclines with an xmark simply due to the weight and being able to basically muscle it on the hill. Gravely would flip at those degrees

I'd have to agree had a Gravely years ago walk behind with the Kawasaki engine by far the best engine and of course a beautiful cut!

I have a toro hdx 48” proline with aswivel caster sulky and love it never went back to my zero turn
Nice, which controls?
@@lawngrowth sticks like a zero turn so east to use

Get a residential zero turn… Ferris 300, hustler raptor, toro timecutter, etc. Will cut your mowing time down significantly.
@@lawngrowth I have .33 acres and a 36" toro proline walk behind and am able to complete in around 50 minutes
Concrete works great😂
You said you wouldn’t buy a “gear driven” (belt drive) and you’ve made that mistake before… what one did you own?
Ferris is the best walk behind for all around. Best cut is exmark. If exmark would change to a single deck height adjust they would be supreme
I agree!
