I'm looking for a walk behind Gravely to use for snow removal (push blade) and
mowing (brush mower) around the house. I'd also like to be able to use various
attachments and use it to put in food plots on the property were I hunt.
Thinking I'll need the brush mower, rotary plow and probably a sickle mower at a
minimum to do that. Will probably set it up for dual wheel as well.
Not having too much experience with the walk behinds what would you guy
recommend for the job? Can I get by with the smaller machines or should I be
looking for the higher HP models? Are there any particular models to avoid?
Are there any common defects to look for like gear boxes cracking in the same
place that would make them harder to restore and repair?
I'm even open to buying a machine in need of overhaul before I need it in the
spring. I have the mechanical ability and knowledge to be able to do more than
just maintenance on them or at least access to it - dad might be getting a new
project. Maybe even a repower job if I find the right machine in need of more
than TLC.
Leaning toward a 5000 series machine but open to suggestions. Electric starter
would get added if it's not there already.
Thanks for any help.
