Someone may know the exact pitch of the threaded adjustment bolts but I have found that one full turn changes blade height about 1/8". Mine was way off left-to-right from the dealer so I adjusted that prior to doing pitch adjustments. Also, because of the difficulty of taking these measurements on the floor (how most people would be doing it), I found that setting the cutting height up to about 4" so you have room to work under there is a good first step. And then I cut a piece of dowel rod "gauge" to fit between the floor and forward right cutting edge (the "measurement"). Everything else just needs adjusted relative to that "gauge" then, rather than trying to see all the actual measurements underneath there with a tape measure. Adjust the left front to fit this "gauge" and adjust the rears to be 1/4" or so higher than the dowel rod gauge.

I expect this mower will last several seasons with decent care. kzitem.infoUgkx1VWTrayKBdCKAjzAcZ_Eg4dhHTae3LkN also recommend Also, I ran across the problem with it not starting the 2nd time I used it. There is a safety switch which is pushed in by the chute or mulching piece being attached to the deck. I took the cover off and it wouldn't start. Put it back on, no problem. It takes only a minute with 2 easily accessible wingnuts and no tools. This mower starts up first crank each time and it is a joy to use. It also mows in reverse by putting the key to the reverse area after starting and pushing in the triangular button. It will stay in reverse mode until you turn it off. All in all, for my homeowner needs, I really like this mower-and at 70 bucks a cut here in Miami, it's already more than 1/3 paid for itself in a month.

Everyone check your deck height & pitch. I bought a HD 60 a year ago. Then, last week I also bought a HD 48. We were out mowing an open field & noticed we were cutting at different heights. I got out the measuring tape & find out my 60 HD was a whole half an inch short. & I've been mowing like this since last year. Also, my new 48 HD was perfect in the front, but the back of the deck was pitched about a quarter of an inch lower than the front. Maybe, explains all the stragglers it's been leaving. I'll be adjusting everything tomorrow.

You're absolutely right! Front measurement between the blades and the ground should reflect the cutting height setting your deck is at, then the measurement at the rear of the deck should be about 1/8" to 1/2" higher.

I spent an hour tweaking my deck to have about 1/4" lower front to rear difference and checked side to side height to be the same, my dealer had it adjusted close but then my ocd kicked in so I adjusted it.

My new 2023 ZT HD 60 is cutting like crap!! Leaving a lot of uncut grass and stragglers in the middle of a single pass, causing me to have to double cut. This is unacceptable. It’s at the dealer now. I do love my Gravely though.

I followed the instructions for my gravely pro stance 32 and did this and now the deck will not hold itself at the top in the transport position. Any ideas why this is? I’m taking it to the dealer later for help but if anyone has an idea to fix this or a reference on how I’d sure appreciate it. Thanks

Does dropping the front tip of the blades 1/2 effect the Operator Gauge for setting the cutting depth?

Thanks for asking! What you need to do is ensure the front of your deck is adjusted to match to the cutting height selected, and then adjust the rear accordingly.

My Mach One blows grass and dirt out the front of the deck and all over the operator. Maybe this adjustment is what is needed? My dealer thinks it is a mystery.

Could you use wooden blocks all cut to the same size and level it using the actual deck instead of the blades? That’s how i do it on my John Deere D130, was wondering if this method would work on my gravely pro turn zx also.

@gravely

Thanks for asking! We can't say for certain, but that is a possibility. To get the best quality of cut from your mower, keep the front of the deck pitched about 1/4" lower than the deck rear. You may also want to try a higher deck height and slowing your ground drive speed while mowing.

I bought my 42 inch gravely riding lawn mower may of 2019 and i don't know if i should take it to them when annual service comes up or just ask them to do it now, please tell me which would you choose considering my situation that i can not do it correctly. Tks

Thanks for asking! You're probably better off having your Gravely dealer service your unit right after you're done cutting for the season. That way, they can complete the very critical seasonal storage procedures to ensure your mower will work like new at the beginning of next season. If you want to know more about maintenance, have a look at the maintenance section in your operator's manual AND engine manual. The maintenance sections outline the recommended maintenance intervals and instructions for each procedure.

I tried adjusting for hours and the best I could do in maintaining the side to side at 3-1/2” is 3-3/8” front and 3-5/8” rear. Is this an acceptable setup? Gives it about a 1/4” pitch. If not do you have any pointers?

Hi Jason, 1/4" of pitch is perfect! Your front measurements should reflect your height setting, but if you can live with it being 1/8" off the mark, you're ok. Ideally, you want these three conditions: 1. The deck to be level from side to side. 2. 1/8" - 1/2" of pitch from front to back. 3. The front measurements to match your cutting height setting.

Gravely Ok. So the blade height side to side doesn’t particularly need to be the desired height as long as the front blade measurement is the desired height? Does that make sense?
@gravely

@@JC-th2rl Hi Jason. From side to side (deck leveling), blade height needs to be equal. For example, if the front LEFT blade tip is 3.5" off the ground, the front RIGHT blade tip should also be 3.5" off the ground. Now let's cover from front to back (deck pitch). The distance between the front blade tips and the ground should reflect your cutting height selection. The distance between the rear blade tips and the ground should be between 1/8" and 1/2" higher than the front blade tips. Does that help clear things up a bit?

I have a 2019 Gravely ProTurn 660 that gives THE WORST cuts in history! I should have known, I mean....I only paid $14,000.00 for the thing, so its not like I should be expecting a quality cut. Having to mow areas 2 and 3 times to get a clean cut. Have adjusted the deck, replaced blades, cleaned underside of deck......Nothing! And for some reason, my dealer didn't sound surprised at all at my issues. NEVER again will I touch a gravely product!
