How good are they and how are their Zero Point turn machines for longevity. Have a John Deere 314 that cut 3 acres+ of grass and hauled since new in 1979 and engine lasted 27 years before being rebuilt becuase it was burning oil.
Stopped into Gravely Ariens and just wonder how good they are. Still will never sell the old deere but just wanted to know thinking on another tractor.

Well I know of people owning Gravely equipment that lasted them 30 and 40 years. Whether they are still that good I'd like to hope. I have a walk behind self-propelled lawn mower from 1981. Have only had to do regular maintenance and one carb rebuild on the B&S engine ($4.00). Not bad?

You never mentioned the make of the engine that was in the mover and that makes a big difference. My mover has a Kohler engine in it and has run like a Deere should. Most make of top line mowers have replacement parts and should last a long time. To more directly answer your question, yes, Gravely Ariens is a good product, but not cheap.

the Gravely ariens is in the same league as the pro John Deere and should last as long.I just finished shopping for a zero turn myself and purchased a Ferris which is better than the Gravely Ariens/Deere units but not by alot(has a suspension which the others do not).
