After "handing down" my Dixie Chopper to my daughter, I ended up with a Gravely ZTHD 60. Long story short, when I got the Dixie there were not that many zero turn mfgs., now there are a bunch. Have a good friend who works at a small engine dealership who said the 2 "musts" in his opinion were a Kawasaki motor and a transmission that is serviceable. Just thoughts from the peanut gallery ! LOL Very happy with the Gravely.

You definitely want the 2800 or 3200 serviceable transaxles. Or 3100 hydro’s.

I’ve got the Gravely ZTXL 52” mower made by Airens. Basically the same mower just different name. Kawasaki motor 23hp. Best mower I’ve had in years. Where are you located? I know a guy who gets all the trade in mowers from all the dealerships in the Evansville area. I bought my Gravely from him with 40 hours for less than 3k. I also bought a commercial Country Clipper 60” cut with 120” hrs fir $2800. It was 7k new. Thanks for the info. I'm on the east coast of Indiana. Several hours from Evansville.

My suggestion is: buy it from a local dealer if you have problems with it they will service it, BIG BOX stores won't.

The big box stores also have special runs made for them, and the machines are cheapened up - thinner steel, etc.

I'm limited to the mowers that Lowe's carry.

Scrub I bought a kubota 48 inch mower. Kubota has their own financing 0% interest 150 a month for 3 years is what I paid.

We are each going to make a payment every month and pay it off sooner.
