Gravely introduces new diesel mower

The new Diesel Pro-Turn 400 XDZ Series mower has been added to the company's commercial lineup.

BRILLION, Wis.– Gravely has expanded its Pro-Turn 400 series commercial lineup with the introduction of a new diesel zero-turn mower. The diesel mower features a 25hp Kubota engine and is available in a 60- and 72-inch deck. Also featured is Gravely’s air-suspension seat.

Launching the diesel Pro-Turn 400 allows Gravely to meet the needs of landscape professionals looking for an alternative to gasoline mowers and demonstrates a commitment to continued upgrades for the Pro-Turn 400 Series lineup, the company said.

“Diesel engines are known for their long lifespan and fuel efficiency,” said Brian Anundsen, commercial product marketing manager for Ariens Co. “Coupled with Kubota’s reputation in producing durable, high-performance and reliable diesel engines, the additional features integrated into the Pro-Turn 400 make it an optimum choice for customers seeking a diesel-powered mower.”

The demand for diesel continues to rise as the price of gas increases and, thanks to recent technological advancements, diesel is a cleaner burning fuel than ever. Gas savings, fuel-efficiency and the ability to complete jobs more efficiently make investing in a diesel-powered mower a smart choice, Anundsen said.

The Pro-Turn units also feature a 13.4-gallon fuel capacity and large flat-free front tires. The seven-gauge fabricated and welded X-Factor Deck features a deck-lift system aimed at reducing operator fatigue, dial adjust height-of-cut system and maintenance free XL Spindles. The unit also includes standard foldable ROPs, designated front and rear tie-down points, double-sided anti-scalp brackets and heavy-duty side-discharge chute.
