been researching zero turns as my cub cadet lawn tractor is getting old and i've never really liked the way it cut in the first place.

Came across this website and they have this Gravely ZTX 52" Stealth Zero Turn for $1300, and free shipping.
There's no way this is legit.

Nurtilawn

website looks legit. the company was just started in 2023. website name doesn't look legit https://2c5ebe.myshopify.com/


They have a ton of zero turns on the website. Some look like they have somewhat regular pricing, some are discounted deeply.
I don't know much about Gravely, but i've heard the name before and figured they were decent enough, but $1300 for a 52" 23HP Kawasaki Zero Turn seems way too good to be true.

If it seems too good to be true....

I picked up a barely used Gravely ZTR a few years back from FB Marketplace.

Is this for a new mower?

If it is, too good to be true. 52” New they are around 4500$ I believe.

What's located at that address

The address on that website leads to a house that sold in 2022 for $294K. LOL That mower list for $6999.

Look at the URL. No way that is legit. I can 100% guarantee this is a scam. You couldn't buy a good used 52" Gravely for $1300.

Check out the bad boys just purchased a ZT elite. Best components/hardware at the 5-6k price point.

I really doubt you are going to get anything other than a hard time getting your money back from that website.

If you go to the actual Nutrilawn website, you won't see anything about them selling lawnmowers.

other than going there to look at them in person, i would never buy anything i didnt see with my own eyes first

it could be real if its the base level cheap model, but you should never buy something like this on a website

often they have those just to get you in the door, but the decks are thinner, and its less quality and craftsmanship than with their regular models.

the places you can go see them, they all have a cheapo version, you just need to find out why its that cheap.

1000% scam website. I don't think I would ever buy a mower online. Service availability nearby is important, so might as well purchase from that same dealer. Base your decision on what you want the machine to do - mowing hours/acreage, hills, etc. Pay attention to which transaxles and engine - reliability and serviceability are important.

Any time I see more than 50% off of anything I get very skeptical, that’s prolly a 80% off discount.
That mower is a good mower my dad and uncle both run gravelys and have had good success with there’s but they didn’t buy from a Nigerian prince.

I saw a similar site for Stihl equipment a few years ago. Totally fake. You have to look for tell tale signs such unusual email addresses etc…. No way that’s real.

You should probably edit to remove link to fraudulent website. No reason to given them traffic.

Gravely ZTX 52" Stealth Zero Turn


Just bought this model (918011), Gravely 52" ZTX with 23HP Kawasaki, yesterday at SouthLand Engine in Lafayette.

$4799 plus tax includes 3 yr/300hr warranty, trailer hitch kit, non powered bagger kit, mulching kit, wheel cover kit and tune up kit

Definitely a scam
