Overview
Reliable boundary-wire mowing for Up to 0.3 acres coverage
Full Review
The Gravely Ovis 1200S covers up to Up to 0.3 acres using Boundary Wire + GPS navigation with traditional boundary wire installation. It handles slopes up to 22% with its 2WD drive system and features a 8 in cutting width.
You'll need to install boundary wire around your mowing area before first use — plan for a few hours on smaller yards, or a full day for larger properties. Once installed, the system is reliable and the mower operates autonomously within the defined boundaries.
Key features include Commercial-grade build, Ariens reliability. At $2,500–$3,500, the Ovis 1200S competes in a crowded boundary-wire market where wire-free alternatives are increasingly compelling.
