Re: 2 Wheel Tractors - Buying & Using I really enjoy my Gravelys - I've got a 4 speed and 8 speed L model that get year-round use plus a newer Kohler powered tractor that I run the 40 inch commercial mower on. Gravely was founded in Dunbar WV and they deserve all of the credit for the original D model and later L models. Gravely was purchased by Studebaker in the 60's I believe and moved to Clemmons NC where they stayed until the early 90's when production moved to the Ariens facility in Brillion WI. Ariens owns Gravely today but production has ceased on the 2 wheel tractors - new Gravelys today are zero-turn mowers etc. |
