As far as the OP's original question,, Gravely riders made BIG advances as the machines get newer.
An 800 will work, but, the Pro series is so far advanced, I would never consider owning anything older as an actual tool. As a collector item, the older ones are like a narrow frame Cub Cadet, they work, but not as good as a wide frame. Get the newest machine you can afford, they can be pricey,,,,,,,  A 20-G with hydraulic lift is a dream to drive,,, the 24-G was the only rear engine rider with power steering,,, Power steering is truly a lazy operators feature, heck, the engine is in the back!!

Wow! Thank you all very much for the info
 So CADPlans heres the deal. I have my Cub 108 with a plow on it and it works wonderful. Had it out today to plow snow and it rocked! I had so much fun I ended up doing my neighbors driveways too My interest in the Gravely is for mowing and snow blowing. The Cub is setup great with the plow and I can use it for pulling carts around the property for work. As for mowing I have a pretty steep backyard. I'm reading and you also commented that these tractors have a lower COG which would be nice. Plus the extra free weight in the rear over the tires should help a lot for traction. All this sounds great but I have to also be realistic that my mech skills are still limited. I'm proud of how far I've come so far but I'd hate to get something that is just way over my head. The 800 line seemed very much inline with the 108 I have in regards to tech. The Pro line seemed to line up more with the Cub Super line which I have not moved into yet. And the 23g world is WAY over my head. What are your thoughts on this? I also don't want to buy something that is not going to do what I need just because I have not learned how to fix it totally yet. Heck, that's why I made friends with smart folks like you and the others here!!! HAHAHA! So please, your thoughts?

All the Gravely riders (rear engine) are similar size... only the 24G is sized like a Super.
I only own the 24G, as I have no use for a smaller Gravely rider. BUT, the pro series are MUCH more capable, and better designed.... As a minimum, get hydraulic lift,,,,,,,,,,

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
