Gravely ZT HD60 Zero -Turn Review

Was looking for a solid Zero Turn mower that had a lot of commercial features without spending a lot of $. Lot of great options out there...I settle on the Gravely ZT HD with the 60" deck.

First of all I want to give you credit for a top-self video. Just recently purchased a ZT X 48, Shout out to Hope Mills Saw, Hope Mills, NC for their excellent customer service 10 out of 10.

I have a new 2023 Gravely ZT HD 60. I absolutely LOVE it. I bought a Trac Seat Suspension Kit and a Heavy Duty Canister Air Filter Kit for it. Both are well worth the money and must haves. The suspension seat will help with back pain and the canister air filter will save the engine in the long run. I highly recommend both!! I also bought a Gravely rubber floor mat to help with feet vibration, plus it makes the machine look better. The only thing I wish the ZT HD had is dual fuel tanks. If I had to do it again, I probably would have went with the Pro Turn 160. Regardless though, Gravely all the way!

Thanks for the comment…if I were cutting commercially it would be nice to have dual tanks…but do the homeowner it works…I like the benefit of the lower and central location…has to help with stability

I bought a Gravely ZT HD 60 4 weeks ago, I love it. I also ordered a Trac Seat from "Trac Seat Company" and installed it myself ($250 worth every penny). Awesome ride now, with the trac seat suspension Plus the Factory rubber isolaters. NOTE: the Xfactor III deck is a 7 Gauge steel construction (Gravely Websight stats), thickest deck made (ferris makes them 7 gauge as well). Also the Xfactor III deck has a slopped front plate, this allows the grass time to stand up straight before the blades cut it. I blow out the air cleaner area after each use, heard that keeping the air cleaner clean on these Kawasaki engines prevents premature problems. I also blow the hydro gear fans off to keep them clean as well, easy to get to them with the seat flipped forward. Enjoy your new mower, I certainly am mine!! I mow 4 acres in 1.5 hours now, used to take 4 hours with my cub cadet.

I will have to check out the seat…the ride isn’t too bad but I do plan on mowing some bumpier areas. Thanks for the feedback and comment!!

The deck changed to 7 gauge for the HD/Pro Turn Z/ZX starting in 2024 and newer. 2023 and older used 10 gauge--in his video you can see it marked Xfactor III with 10 gauge written on it. Xfactor III comes in 11 (XL's), 10 and now 7. A lot of manufacturers use 7 gauge including the higher model Pro-Turns, Bad Boys, Exmarks, John Deere, Spartan, etc.....

Really liked the review. I keep coming back to this model after researching the same ones you mentioned. Think I’m gonna pick one up.

[@whatyaknowjoe67]

lol…I researched for 2 years and kept coming back to this model. The fact that a dealer near me had leftover 2023 on sale for $5699 convinced me to make the purchase as well. If you shop around I still see some in that price or close.

Nice, informative video and produced/edited well. I just forked over the cash for the same model in 52”. Take delivery tomorrow. Hope it works out as well as my last one that was 20+\- years old.

[@whatyaknowjoe67]

Thank you! I love mine so far…only about 18hrs on it... Cuts beautiful…plenty of power.
