Great informative review, with no juvenile 'filler' added. I'm expecting the same unit ( only in black) this week. Looking forward to your follow up, God bless!
Fantastic review! I was going to actually get the ZT HD 48 from Gravely. I ended up going with a eXmark radius e but only because it had the roll bar. If the Gravely had the roll bar. The Gravely is what id be mowing with!
I got a 2023 Gravely ZT X and it was awful. It spewed debris out of all sides of the deck and also grass/leaves/sticks into area of the belts, really bad. I sold it and got a different brand all together and the new one works great and as it should. I won’t ever get a Gravely again after this bad experience
@@MrDannyr2000 I got the 2024 Cub Cadet ZT1 42 fab deck. It works so much better! The deck functions worlds better. No debris spewed everywhere including the belts area. Its rear tires also don’t tear up my grass like the Gravely did. It has the same 2.5 Kawasaki. Very different, glad I got rid of it and the bagger system works better as well.
I bought a HD52 in 2021 and have had no problems with it. The belt area stays clean and there has been very little accumulation of grass muffins on the underside of the deck. My only complaint and this is probably inherent to all of them is the mower will blow grass all over you even with the chute down and that is because you’re sitting lower than you do when using a lawn tractor. Also the discharge shoot directs the clippings straight out and not angled back like on most lawn tractors and that could be a factor. My ZTR is basically an easy chair with a honking lawn mower(that’s built like a tank)under it. I put on a respirator mask and full goggles and have fun. I love my Gravely even though I paid too much for it.( I could have bought a two up ATV for the price!)
Those brackets are not for a tow hitch or a roll bar, although a roll bar can be installed on the machine. Those rear brackets are for a bagger attachment.
I bought a new 2023 Gravely ZT HD 60 in March 2024 and I absolutely LOVE IT!! 💯

Thank you! The black color scheme looks awesome on this mower.
How do you like the ZT HD Stealth?

You should be a sales person. You described the Gravely perfect…
This is a great review
Thank you! We will follow up after we put a few more hours on the mower and see how it holds up.
Does the seat have a slide adjustment?
Yes

How is that a tow hitch
Pretty sure those are roll bar mounts
Yeah roll bar attachment
Seat rotted off mine in two years only got wet once or twice
Those brackets are not for a tow hitch or a roll bar, although a roll bar can be installed on the machine. Those rear brackets are for a bagger attachment.
Patiently waiting for another video
Great video - what hydros are on this model please
