Gravely Walk Behind Tractor

[Dode]

Here's a pic of mine........ it's a Gravely walk behind. Bought it this Spring and then my arm went kerplunk. Hoping to break ground next Spring. It has the rotary plow, cultivator, sickle mower, brush hog, sulky and a 4' push blade. I think you saw it on SB, but the folks here might get a kick out of it.

I thought the sickle mower would come in handy for cutting tall grass/hay for the bunnies and a couple of goats.

I bought a 1949 gravely in pieces years ago Restored it and used it for years good machines . But watch using the sulky when mowing if you turn hard the handlebars will take you right off the seat.

That's good to know...I doubt I'll ever mow with it, so the sulky is just taking up space. I bought it all for $800; it runs, plows, cultivates and the tires are real good. Haven't tried the sickle, brush hog or push blade, yet. Maybe next year. If the sickle works well, I'll have to replace a couple of teeth (buy an old sickle for parts). The only thing missing is 5 acres.

Very nice. I want to get a walk behind to maintain trails and cut brush and the like.

I currently have a 1992 Gravely 16G with 40" deck, 48" snowblower, and 48" push blade. I love it. (And so do my kids by looking at the pictures)

Oooooo, sweet ride!

This reminds me that I should invest in some chains for my tires, if I'm going to attempt the snow plow this winter..... so much to learn. I'm a woman, so I didn't automatically inherit he-man knowledge. I better get it all rigged BEFORE the snowy weather....

Good buy - you seldom find a work horse that will do all the things this one will......

What you mean Walk behind,that 0ne thigy looked like a good place to plop you ass into.

I think the sulky is a scary proposition...

I think the sulky is a scary proposition...

We had these at my agency when I was first hired. It had the sulky attached. I didn't know why everyone was crowded around the window watching me mow till I tried to turn it on the bank of the ditch. The handle bars drove into my manhood like Pete Rose used to slide into home........... I was nut punched so hard I probably still have bruises all these years later.............

You can have all that beast you want Dode.... Walk behind it if you like, but ware the sulky... it is evil!

Our Gravely is down right now, Shaft bolt came out when my dad was using it and the Deck PTO clutch dropped tearing itself up. That clutch was replaced a little over a year ago. It was torqued down correctly but now I wish I would have threw some lock tight on the the threads, oh well nothing like a $230 lesson.
