Gravely 21 pro sch vs lower Ariens (SLM 21S)
Original Message May 16, 2005 1:16 pm

I know they're the same company.   For a normal homeowner (just about 1/4 acre), is the extra money $600 vs $775 worth the upgrades.
Heavier drive system
Kawasaki vs OHV Honda

The Gravely just felt rock solid.   I know I lose the adjustable height on the bar, but I'm the one that mows.

I can't find hardly any reviews on either.   These are why my dealer of choice (bought a lot from him) sells.   Should I go to my other guy in town and look at Hondas or something else?

Thanks
Scott

Good Deal. I think you made a good choice buying a Gravely. I believe them to be a rock that doesn't falter. Looking forward to the review. Maybe you ought to wait on the review to let us know how it handles tall grass to know whether it bogs or not.
