Gravely Zero-Turn Mowers: ZT, ZT X, ZT HD & Pro-Turn

Updated October 26, 2026 with the current Gravely zero-turn lineup.

Gravely has built its own mowers for over a century, and its zero-turns are a top pick for homeowners and landscapers across Indiana and Ohio. The honest answer to "what is the best zero-turn mower" is that it depends on how much you mow and what you mow around. For most residential lots, a Gravely homeowner zero-turn such as the ZT X does the job. Bigger or rougher yards call for the ZT HD. If you mow for a living, you want a Pro-Turn. Below we cover what sets Gravely apart, the features that actually matter, and how to match a model to your property.

One thing first: if your current mower starts every time and cuts clean, keep it. This guide is for people buying their first zero-turn or replacing one that has worn out.

What Makes Gravely Mowers Stand Out?

Gravely builds mowers to last. Frames, decks, and drive components are chosen to hold up under regular use, which is why the same brand shows up in both residential garages and commercial trailers. That durability is the main reason Customers ask for Gravely by name.

The other reason is comfort. Gravely designs its mowers with intuitive controls and ergonomic seating, so you can mow longer without feeling beat up afterward. That matters more than people expect on a hot Saturday in July.

Gravely also keeps improving its cutting decks and engine systems, so each generation cuts a little cleaner and runs a little smoother than the last.

What Key Features Do Gravely Mowers Offer?

Here is what to look at when you compare Gravely zero-turns to each other or to another brand:

• Precision cutting decks: Gravely decks deliver a clean, even cut across different grass types and conditions, so the lawn looks uniform instead of striped with misses.
• Powerful engines: Gravely zero-turns run Kawasaki engines, from 18 HP on the smallest homeowner ZT to 38.5 HP on the biggest Pro-Turns, with enough power for large lawns and thick spring growth.
• Zero-turn maneuverability: Tight turns mean fewer passes around trees, beds, and fence lines, and less trimming afterward.
• Durable construction: Heavy-duty frames and components are built for frequent use, on a small lot or a large commercial property.
• Comfortable operation: Adjustable seats, ergonomic controls, and smooth steering cut down on operator fatigue.
• Easy maintenance: Accessible service points make routine checks quicker, and durable components mean fewer repairs over the life of the mower.

Which Gravely Zero-Turn Is Best for My Lawn?

Start with two questions: how many hours a week will this mower run, and what does it have to get around? A flat residential lawn with a few trees is ZT X territory. A larger yard with ditches, uneven ground, or a long gravel drive to cross is where the ZT HD earns its keep. If the mower goes on a trailer and runs most days, skip the residential line and look at a Pro-Turn. Buying more mower than you need is a common mistake, and so is buying a residential unit for commercial work.

A zero-turn is not always the right answer. If your property has steep slopes, or you mostly want to pull a cart, aerator, or sprayer, a lawn tractor is often the better fit. Our team will tell you that straight if it applies to you. Bring a rough acreage and a description of the ground, and we can narrow it down in a few minutes.

What Type of Zero-turn Mowers does Gravely Offer?

Gravely groups its zero-turns into a homeowner line and a commercial Pro-Turn line. Here is the current lineup, with deck widths and engine horsepower from the Gravely lineup on our Gravely site.

Residential zero-turn mowers

• ZT (34 to 42 in. deck, 18 HP): The entry into the Gravely line, with an 11-gauge fabricated deck on a homeowner machine. A good fit for smaller lots with trees and beds to work around.
• ZT X (42 to 52 in. deck, 21.5 to 23 HP): A step up in deck and engine for properties where mowing is a real job rather than an errand.
• ZT XL (42 to 52 in. deck, 21.5 to 23 HP): More deck, more seat and more fuel capacity than the ZT X, for acreage that takes a full afternoon. Gravely positions it for one to four acres.
• ZT HD (44 to 60 in. deck, 21.5 to 24 HP): A 7-gauge X-Factor 3 deck and a commercial-grade engine on a homeowner frame. It is the one to look at for larger yards and for people who are tired of replacing mowers. There is also a blackout ZT HD Stealth with a 60 in. deck.

Commercial zero-turn mowers

• Compact Pro (34 in. deck, 15.5 HP): A commercial machine for gated yards and tight lots where a full-size deck will not fit.
• HD Pro (48 to 60 in. deck, 22 to 24 HP): Sits between the homeowner ZT line and the Pro-Turn line.
• Pro-Turn 100 (48 to 60 in. deck, 22 to 23.5 HP): The entry into the commercial line, with a commercial drivetrain for a crew that is just getting started.
• Pro-Turn 200 (52 to 60 in. deck, 27 to 31 HP): More engine than the 100, for routes measured in properties per day.
• Pro-Turn 300 (52 to 72 in. deck, 27 to 31 HP) and Pro-Turn 500 (52 to 72 in. deck, 31 to 38.5 HP): The mid-range and long-route machines, with bigger decks and more comfort for full days.
• Pro-Turn 600 (60 to 72 in. deck, 35 to 38.5 HP): The top of the Pro-Turn line, for the largest commercial properties.

Gravely also builds the Pro-Turn ZX, the Pro-Turn Mach One and electric Pro-Turn EV models. For stand-on mowers, which are worth a look if your property has slopes or tight gates, see the Gravely stand-on and walk-behind line. Not sure where to start?
