Testing Modified Gravely Versus Stock Gravely - Pro Turn Series - Cleaner Cut Challenge

[@Fencearmor]

Awesome video! Very cool to see the two compared.

Thanks

My mower is one of the first prototypes.It is a Pro-turn 460 with the X-factor deck and I run Rotory 15-6083 blade during the summer with NO adjustment. It was one of the first issues with the mower I had with cut quality. I don't think it has much to do with the blade placement but more with the "LIFT" on the blades. At least for us Florida guys that cut Bahia , Augustine and Zoysia . But I will say that these blades are flat and do not have the stock 1/4 " bend in them.When I installed these blades it changed the cutting height scale .25. It measured out to be exactly a 1/4" difference. I fill these blades do a great job. My reasoning for doubting the blade placement is because I run Gator mulching blades from Oct to March and they do not have nearly the lift but work really well keeping things clean. I do run shorter cutting heights in the fall and winter also. Just sharing some thought 🤔

[@itshisturf23]

I appreciate that. It definitely makes you do some thinking

[@joshsinglefooter]

2021 both changes have been made in 2021 Pro turn Zx 52 monster!

[@superior3384]

Cool. They both look like they cut good to me.

[@itshisturf23]

They really did.

[@tonyslawncare]

Love your videos

[@itshisturf23]

Thanks bro. I was just checking out your channel.

[@Markg488]

So what was your thoughts on the side discharge you were saying? Did he block off the discharge or should you let it come out the side?

[@johnkopko8463]

Just got a quick shoot it’s a lot better than the operator controlled one from gravely quick shoot allows it to flow out evenly

[@joseortega555]

Hello. What is the part number for the scag high lift blades?

[@chrisjr1028]

Where do you find the extra spacers to lower the blades

[@MrThisIsMeToo]

They are called washers.

[@itshisturf23]

Correct. There were just washers

[@g4outdoors]

When you said modified, I thought you meant like Tim The Tool Man modified LOL. oaff oaff oaff

[@itshisturf23]

I use to have one of those lol. Sold it in March Haha. No I just haven't ever messed with the deck, baffles or spacers and Jason releveled his deck, tilted it a quarter inch forward then added washers for blade spacers and ground down some high lift blades to fit on his mower.

[@jonrowley3827]

Black market mower for the win just because it’s cooler.... Woo! That drone footage looks good! Or was it a helicopter?!

[@itshisturf23]

Helicopter. Justin was hanging out and holding on for dear life

[@jonrowley3827]

it's HIS turf would have paid to see that! Also looks like a good practice field for some frisbee! Imma need that address!

[@itshisturf23]

@@jonrowley3827 lol. It's open lots in blue grass by troop K

[@ronanderson1816]

good info!

[@jeffwhite8017]

Must modify on rhat mower and all ferris zero turns; Get the 24x12x12 wheels, change out the tires to a carlisle grass master or turf master, maybe even space out the rear wheels alittle to help grip. Ferris guys...do this and its wayyyy better

[@itshisturf23]

Hey Jeff! Thank you for this tip! Where do you purchase the wheels? Amazon? or a local dealer? Also, this makes a lot of sense, wider is better! lol

[@jeffwhite8017]

Yes either online or go to a dealer. I believe they are a 12x9 or 12x10 wheels either 4 or 5 lug. I like to help any way i can!

[@mealsjade]

Hey I’m sorry just got home to pick you guys home tonight and I’ll bring them home to pick you guys home and I can come pick up the boys tomorrow if I have to get a couple things to come tomorrow to get my car done so I’m just waiting on the car I’ll call him and let him

[@TheCharillz23]

2 1/2 inches is pretty low

[@itshisturf23]

Makes a nice cut on Bermuda.

[@jeromybeasley7137]

Lmao I have hi lift blades on my 460 and don’t have to grind them look for blade length

[@livewithnick]

And that’s funny,why? 🤔

[@lukewarkenthien5813]

You're comparing a 100 series (commercial mower) to a zx series (residential mower)... Apples to oranges

[@itshisturf23]

The zx is entry level commercial. But as far as performance I own a 100 and 200 series and this ZX will compete all day long. Honesty a great unit.
