A 60" deck on a walkbehind!?

[js5020]

Well just did an e-bay check and there is a 5' deck on with the riggings for a 2 wheeler, wow I didn't think you could run one that big on a 2 wheeler. Well it does say you need a 16 hp unit, and I do see duals and I'll bet if we could see the whole tractor it also has the steer brakes,,, I'll bet that would be a real bear to steer without them on even the slightest grade, or to turn around for that matter! My arms feel tired just looking at it!

The Wright Stander has been around for over ten years. Geat machine with mowing speeds up to 14 mph. Great commecial machine for high output users. It is a full twin hydro design and all most to easy to use!

I'm sure there are many dedicated turf machines with big decks on them,,, wow 14 mph, that's fast! Don't have those kinda speeds in a Gravely walkbehind!,,,, guess we would need to call it a runbehind, or maybe a dragme behind if we did!

Yes, Gravely offered a 60" deck years ago when the 16hp walkbehind was a Kohler engined machine. It and the 16hp Kohler didn't last very long. Gravely changed to the 16hp Briggs which was made for the rest of the 2 wheel production. It definetly is a chunk! and your right you bettter have the steering brake!! - Kris
