Pro-Stance Ultra
Company: Gravely

Gravely’s new Pro-Stance Ultra stand-on mowers, unveiled during Equip Exposition 2024, are now available. The mowers feature 52- and 60-inch decks, as well as a 72-inch electronic fuel injection offering. They carry over the proprietary deck-lift assist pedal from the existing Pro-Stance platform, which allows the operator to float the deck over roots and ruts without the need to remove their hands from the controls. The Pro-Stance Ultras are powered exclusively by 35- and 38.5-horsepower Kawasaki FX1000 and FX1000 EFI engines and feature a high-capacity 16-gallon fuel tank. With a focus on operator comfort, the Pro-Stance Ultras also have a wide, curved operator pad extending below knee height and pitched, forward-facing controls that are angled to reduce wrist strain.

The E Series models — the Q810E and Q820E — feature a single power take off (PTO) belt design and aluminum commercial mowing spindles that make changing mower blades simple and fast. The new Q800 M and R Series models (the Q820M, Q850M, Q850R and Q865R EFI) have been transformed from previous generations to amplify speed, comfort and power. They feature a wider horsepower range, with 27-hp carb and 34.5-hp EFI options, as well as the 7-Iron PRO decks in 48-, 54- and 60-inch sizes.

build ideal for the start-and-stop nature of commercial work. The SO37 comes equipped with a 37-hp Vanguard V-Twin EFI engine, twin fuel tanks with a combined 9 1/4-gallon fuel capacity and 61- and 72-inch cutting deck options. Ride-smoothing enhancements like a wide antislip platform and coil-spring suspension ensure comfort, the company says. The SO37 also features an EZ Deck Lift Lever that allows operators to adjust cutting heights in one smooth move, and an adjustable Command Center Tower that can better align controls to the height of the operator.
