Gravely 18-H vs Gravely 8199

Verdict: Gravely 18-H vs Gravely 8199

The Gravely 18-H and the Gravely 8199 are both lawn tractors — here is how they stack up on the figures that matter. Gravely 8199 leads on rated power with 20 hp against 18 hp. Gravely 18-H is the lighter machine (394 kg vs 424 kg), which helps on soft ground and transport, while the heavier model carries more ballast for traction-limited draft work. Gravely 8199 holds more fuel (20.1 L vs 17.0 L) for longer stints between fills. Gravely 18-H is the newer design (1987 vs 1980).
