Gravely lawn tractors

In 1916, the Gravely Motor Plow Company first established itself in Dunbar, West Virginia, rapidly gaining prominence through its innovative line of two-wheeled walking tractors. A relocation to Clemmons, North Carolina followed, and by 1964, Gravely had broadened its reach into the four-wheel garden tractor sector. These machines were distinguished by a singular rear-engine configuration. Ariens acquired Gravely in 1982 and continues to hold ownership today. While the original Gravely-based designs ceased production around the year 2000, the name itself was retired completely by 2002. However, the Gravely legacy endures, presently applied to a range of professional-grade lawn maintenance equipment.
