Hello, yes new here. My almost 20 year old Cub Cadet was having issues, but still useable. A friend I help sold me this ZT 60 HD for $500 after they went with a new Toro. Near as I gather it’s a 2013 model, I think 710 hours or so, meter flashes at times.
So far I changed the oil, replaced some missing bolts on belt covers, replaced one worn spindle & sharpened the blades. It’s my new favorite mower. They had a few issues in recent years with it, like fuel pump & something else, been fine with me.
I plan to use it now as my primary mower to check reliability, 5 acre property, mow 1/2 or less, lawn then outer areas. It’s built like a tank, nickname is ‘the beast’.

Greetings from Tennessee
I have a 2023 Gravely ZTX-48 Serial Number# 918009 and it’s been a workhorse.
I recently moved her from Arizona and never owned a lawnmower before because you don’t mow rocks
I have all kinds a terrain on my 1/3 acre property and this mower does just fine
OH And I love the Kawasaki Twin FR651V engine.
Keep them serviced and they will last a life time.
One question I have is on the trans axles
They say they are non-serviceable but I do see a drain plug
Is it possible to service it anyway?

Big Al, new Ariens Icon XD 52" delivered today from my local G and A dealer. New to zero turn mowers and I know after a short lesson and trying out mowing in my backyard, going to be a learning curve. Back yard has holes from Armadillos and uneven ground from moles. Trying to get a handle on the grubs, lost count after 12 or more Armadillos. Hauling off the dead, buzzards got to eat. My neighbors that run complain about me dropping the nasty things off on their route. My front yard is pretty smooth but it didn't need cutting. Biggest problem is hitting a hole or a mound and knocking me off a straight course. Finally figured out I needed to slow down. Only have a 1 acre lot.GREETINGS to all Gravely & Ariens mower owners!
