Equipment Focus Gravely Pro-Stance 36 With patent-pending features, including integrated transmissions, a dial height-of-cut adjustment and a foot pedal deck lift, the Gravely Pro-Stance 36 is small enough to fit within gates and tight spaces without sacrificing productivity and results. Like all models in Gravely's Pro-Stance line, the 36-inch model includes integrated HydroGear transmissions for a low center of gravity, allowing operators to easily handle slopes or uneven terrain. Integrated transmissions also reduce leak points and eliminate cross contamination. The dial height-of-cut adjustment allows the operator to change the deck height from 1 to 5 inches at the control panel without stepping off the machine, enhancing productivity. Operator comfort is maximized thanks to a large operator platform and pad. The foot platform can be flipped up for use as a walk-behind, and the foot pedal deck lift simplifies raising and lowering the deck. The isolated platform reduces vibration and operator fatigue. Gravely, an Ariens Co. Honda HRC Commercial Series The Honda HRC Commercial Series offers 2 models: the self-propelled, hydrostatic-drive HRC216K3HXA and push-type HRC216K3PDA. The performance of the HRC Commercial Series is enhanced by offering Honda's exclusive MicroCut twinblade mulching technology. In addition, the push model HRC216K3PDA is powered by Honda's GSV160 overhead cam (OHC) engine, while the self-propelled HRC216K3HXA (pictured) employs Honda's GXV160 engine. Both engines boast all-aluminum construction and a cast-iron cylinder sleeve. Standard features of both mowers include a dome-shaped deck design, which facilitates both bagging and mulching while delivering finer clipping particles; offset twin-blade MicroCut System (only 2-blade 21inch commercial mowers); front bumper for deck and engine protection, as well as convenient transport tie down; and durable, lightweight, 9-inch NeXite wheels with axle protectors. Honda Power Equipment John Deere QuikTrak stand-on commercial mower John Deere's QuikTrak stand-on commercial mower is designed to meet the changing needs of professional landscape contractors by providing compact size, and best-in-class stability and operator positioning on a stand-on machine. The QuikTrak offers the shortest design available on the market, and it is also one of the lightest, making it highly maneuverable around obstacles and contours in the turf. The zero-turn capability gives it best-in-class productivity, and it's easy to trailer, allowing crews to have multiple mowers on a job site. The QuikTrak is available in 2 different series — the B Series and R Series. The B Series features a 22-hp. engine with a 7-gauge, fabricated 52-inch fixed deck, run-flat front tires, and sealed front caster bearings.

The R Series also offers a quick height-of-cut adjustment and cast-iron front forks.

Commercial-grade gearbox is axle mounted for superior maneuverability and smooth operation. Other features include Zone Start, adjustable wheel bearings, Ergo Cam locks on the heavy-gauge handles and reinforced Aero catcher.
