New 2 wheeled Gravely's

[js5020]

Check out the mfg website, there are new one's on!!! Well they aren't actually Gravelys', looks like they are selling Rapids rebadge as Gravelys'.

 

[js5020]

Models M, U, E,,,, all hydros,,,, I want one! Anyone know the pricing??

Here is the link:

Looks like the M model will accept old attachments, with an adapter

 

[js5020]

Could this possibly mean we will see new attachments that will fit our old tractors? Now wouldn't that be cool.

Here's the link to Rapid:

Rapid Technic AG, Dietikon, Switzerland

Are these at dealers now? I hope they make available the attachments that are shown on Rapids web site.

I don't know about availability I just found the info last night. I'll call the local dealer and see what I can find out. Yep,yep some of those attachments would look real good sittin in my backyard.

Talked to the dealers son and he was unaware of the product but is going to check on them.

 

[js5020]

Well looks like there is no definite pricing yet,,,,, although I'm hearing 7k range, from another site and from the local dealer. Oh well, I would be interested but not at anything close to 7k. Guess we will just have to wait.

Well they have the specs and prices on there web site Gravely Lawnmowers . I wonder who they think is going to by these. Starting at $7300 and up.

These people are on CRACK!!!! there is NO WAY I would pay that kind of $ for a 2 wheel tractor. All I can say to Ariens is thank you for helping me to make up my mind I'll be buying the BCS. I'll more than likely have a 2wheeled tractor for the rest of my life, and I can safely say it WON'T be a Gravely, what a JOKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

These Gravely's look nice. Looks like they have hydrostatic drive and several other cool features. However at 7k+ for 1 model and 14K+ for the others, I'll keep my BCS.

I don't see how they think they can even sell more than a handful of these at these kind of prices.

I'd check out a Goldoni though if interested in a new 2 wheeler. They have a 14hp deisel motor 2 wheeler. This company in MA sells them and I hear they are super well built.

I saw the prices and honestly thought it was a mistake. I guess not. Give me a break.... $14k for one of these things?? I think I'll take a CUT that I can ride on for that price.

 

[schmism]

i was going to say... i paid 14K for my CUT!

ill give you 2K for one of the larger ones... (maybee)

I suppose we should keep in mind first these things are really swiss and all things swiss are expensive, and second, I have never known a Gravely dealer who attempted to get retail price for equipment. When one looked at the price for the P 260 Z I bought four years ago, they would doubt that it retailed for over $3000.00 more.

OK, I've calmed down, sorry for the rant, I know these machines can do alot and have their place but I could not justify the price on these. I would have to agree with some of the others in that a just as well built SCUT, or CUT can be purchased for same money or a BCS 850 series can be had for less than 3500, I expected 5000/5500 for the small one but not 7400, and I wasn't even in the ballpark with the other 2 models. Guess I'll be able to justify putting a lot of money into the com 12 since the 13hp model goes for over 14k. Or get the BCS and go crazy with new attachments. Well I thought I was over my rant guess not.

I wonder if they are as large as these... maybe that is why they are so expensive. Take a good look.
