    One of my Gravely ZTRs with hydro-gear zt-3400 transaxles calls for 64oz of oil in each unit. However, to fill to the cold fill line a few more ounces are required to get up the connecting tube and into the bottom of the overflow reservoir. This little bit extra ends up being an issue when the hydros are working hard and heat the oil to the point of expansion beyond the top of the overflow expansion reservoirs. The expansion tanks are the same ones on different mower models and depending on location and length of the connecting tubes the cold fill line ought to be altered slightly. Just my personal opinion based on experience.

      Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts, much appreciated! How’s your Gravely running otherwise?
      Gravely mowers are incredible, we really enjoy owning and operating them. 😎👍

    I expect this mower will last several seasons with decent care. th-cam.com/users/postUgkx1VWTrayKBdCKAjzAcZ_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.

    Lightweight is good and what did I use it for it’s a lawnmower th-cam.com/users/postUgkxTPN04aT-Qdjr_KS3ql7ng8wnU3wwsCqk also recommend Yes it is lightweight so hence not as robust as our old one. But if you take care it does the job really well.

    Do the zero turn mowers actually have hydraulik drive? Or do they have a normal drive axle and transmission? Always wondered about that

    I noticed both my tanks empty... I remember I had the mow jacked up in the front for 24hrs to remove and sharpen my blades. In this case, my oil level never returned until it was ran, then of course left to cool. THEN it went to the cold fill line.

    What happens if you put gas in hydraulic oil reservoir?

    • @DIYwithMichaelBorders
      @DIYwithMichaelBorders  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Thanks for watching, we recommend removing the gas from hydraulic reservoir, as it can cause damage to hydraulic systems and lines.

      Thanks for watching, The best thing to do is to refer to your owners manual on the exact make and model mower you have for the 100% correct guidance.
      Our specific model requires oil to be present in the reservoirs. We hope the video helped. Please subscribe to the channel and ring your TH-cam bell 🔔 this Will be very helpful to us thanks again!

    Bought a 2020 ZT HD, has 8 hours on it. Went to check the hydro level today and couldn’t see a drop. No leaks either. What could be the cause?

      Thanks for watching. The choke will need to be pushed in very soon after start-up. This will ensure that the fuel/air ratio is properly balanced.
