Gravely 8179 vs Gravely Pro Master 18-H

Verdict: Gravely 8179 vs Gravely Pro Master 18-H

The Gravely 8179 and the Gravely Pro Master 18-H are both lawn tractors — here is how they stack up on the figures that matter. Gravely Pro Master 18-H leads on rated power with 18 hp against 17 hp. Gravely 8179 is the lighter machine (424 kg vs 444 kg), which helps on soft ground and transport, while the heavier model carries more ballast for traction-limited draft work. Gravely Pro Master 18-H is the newer design (1989 vs 1980).
