Kawasaki or Kohler for new gravely ZT HD?

[jekjr]

In my area of the world i have not seen anybody that has had problems with the Kawasaki engines on any brand of mowers. I can't say that for the Kohlers. I know of several that have had major issues with them.

Also changing the Oli in the Kawasaki engines that I have seen is not that messy if you go about it correctly. I have three Scag Tiger Cat mowers with Kawasaki engines and we can change old without making a mess.

I had a Kawasaki on my Hustler FasTrak and now on my Super Z.
Very easy to change oil and no mess.

Was at a local gravely dealer yesterday and was quoted $4599 for a ZT 48hd with Kawasaki engine . How do you like mower if you purchased it? Is that a good price for the mower?

Yeah we did end up getting the 52" with the Kawasaki. We haven't had it long at all, but it seems like it is made well and it does mow well. I got a few quotes through email before I went to get it. They were at different dealers for $5295, $5235 (for the 60" that was too big, and only size they had left) and $4895, but I don't know what they were asking for the 48".
