Gravely Pro Turn ZX 52 first 17 hours: Pros and Cons

What's going on guys, Blake Hawthorn It's his turf and today we're going to be doing the 10, 15, 17-hour review... the review on the Gravely Pro-Turn ZX 52. Alright guys, so after running this thing, I think we have about 17 hours on it, I've noticed a few little things that I don't like about it. One of those things is, from a maintenance standpoint, that the shoot blocker over here has debris in it, and it wants to actually settle while you're mowing, it wants to drop about two inches, so it's about a quarter of the way shut as you're rolling. This allows for grass to build up. So when you open it up, it shoots out a bigger blob or glob, you know, a pile of grass, I guess this is what I'm talking about right now where the shoot block is sitting is actually where it wants to ride most of the time when I'm mowing. But if you watch, I can't actually raise this thing, couple more inches. And that's where you want it to be to keep from those clumps of grass happening in the lawn. And it just wants to set up and drop back into place right there every time. So I just need to get this thing cleaned out, figure out where it's at. blow it out real good. But for some reason, I think I'm gonna have to unbolt it, and take it off and see what's going on that's causing it to want to shift involved and not ride right there. So that's one thing I don't like about it. Another thing that I noticed today when I was running the machine is that when I'm running on a hill going downhill on a steep grade with my discharge to my right, so I'm going downhill discharged my right that he does not want to handle that hill and wants to actually pull to the left. And so what I had to do is actually turn around and go the opposite direction, it does fine, but it really wants to pull hard there. That was on some nice Zoysia grass today. Another thing that I found is I stopped earlier because I heard a noise I thought my belt was going to come off. And what it was is this screw it just became loose. The bolt came loose, and you could hear this vibrating in the spring was now hitting the side. So you can see it shifted this way, then you can hear it hitting the side frame. And I thought that something was out of whack and was I was afraid I was gonna be broke down. You know, those are the few things that I've really noticed is one house handling kills to the shoot blocker. And then you know, I just need to do some maintenance and go around this thing, tighten up the bolts, check everything out, check my tension or pulleys. And I think that we're good to go, I'm excited to see once we get a little more wear and tear, you know, 50 hours, you know, stuff like that on there, to see how this machine is doing. I love it, I think it's going to be a great machine for the company. And I'm probably going to be replacing our Gravely 152s with this model here.
