Bad boys are not commercial mowers, that being said the higher models are pretty good for the money. I know some models had issues with the hydros but I think they have since worked them out. I mow 3 acres at home and have a commercial 60" Exmark and can't imagine going to any less of a mower, but I'm also one of those guys that is ocd about his yard.

Very pleased with my new eXmark Z-Series (Kohler powered) with 60" deck. A lot depends on how many acres you are cutting whether to go commercial grade.

It is a Outlaw XP, aprox 72" cut with a big Vanguard engine 35 or 36 hp I think. It is 2-3 years old. The guys that mow here claim that it has lots of power, but we only have one guy that will even use it. Everyone else hops on a Skag or the 104 Hustler. We have a new 15' Toro with an enclosed cab that is supposed to be delivered in a couple weeks, will see how it works out.

Any input on Gravely..............Id like to stay in the 5500 to 6k range..........

Thats definitely bs! 800 hours is nothing. That’s definitely not common. If I was you and the rest of the mower is good and it should be. I would replace it with a Briggs Van guard. I put almost 4K hours on my JD with the 22hp vg

The commercial shop near me sells a lot of exmarks but they also have Ferris, which I’ve wanted to try.
They have full suspensions.
