There are others, but if you need parts or service in or out of warranty, the last thing you need it to have to travel 50 miles or more for parts or service. The big box for any mower will only replace in the first 30 days. After that, you're looking at being sent to the factory or authorized dealer."

"The electric mower I use is a Kobalt back from the days of Masters so it's been going 7+ years now."

"Works great but not safe on a significant incline."

"Worked great on my hill in the back yard."

"I like the Gravely and it was what I could afford at the time."

"Gravely. Hd zt."
