For mowing on the hill, make sure you get dual wheels. If you're comfortable working on stuff like that, the older ones are tough old machines. If it's a manual start machine, it's done with a strap. I prefer the Kohlers just because those engines are what I'm used to working on. My current Gravelys are both 'newer' still late '70s, mid '80s models with Kohlers on them. I've owned a Gravely of one sort or another since - an old Model L. I had this Pro It cut the grass around the house better then anything I have owned and that's a lot.īut it was very heavy and although I got the adapter to use the old style attachments, the machine was just too cumbersome. They are simple machines with lots of used parts available. LI - intermediate speed for all around use -gardeningmowing LS - slow tractor for industrial uses - these are not very common The 2 speeds did offer an axle extension that worked well for hills. They also made 2 speed tractors in 3 flavors : L - a fast tractor for mowing. The older Gravely is a full pressure lubrication and works well on hills. Looks like he sells new stuff now, years ago, I shopped and bought parts from him for my older stuff. Re: what is the 'best' model gravely 2 wheel tractor? He has been a Gravely resource for many years. Is the L8 the king of the hill? Or should i be looking for a different model and why? It seems like the L8 was the best of the L models because of the transmission, but I havent seen info on how it compares to the many later models. I have been reading and researching and am having trouble finding out which is the best model gravely 2 wheel tractor to seek out. Lots of gravely though, many with several additional attachments. I had considered a BCS type tractor but cannot afford one at this time and used ones in my area are rare. Its primary use will be brush mowing on slopes too steep for a 4 wheel tractor. I am looking to purchase a gravely 2 wheel tractor.
