ZERO-TURN MOWERS: fits most Grasshopper Zero-Turn Mowers, FrontMount and MidMount. All Grasshopper mowers are driven exclusively by fully hydraulic, pump-and-wheel-motor drive systems for exceptional performance, durability and responsiveness. These drives are "no gears" systems, so they provide more power to the cutting deck or implement. They are also better for cooling for longer component life and provide more responsive steering control and traction through turns.
GRASSHOPPER INNOVATION: At Grasshopper, one innovation leads to another. As a pioneer in manufacturing zero-radius ride-on mowing equipment, The Grasshopper Company immediately set a pace of rapid advancement and innovation that continues today. When company engineers designed our first Grasshopper mower in 1969, they envisioned a low maintenance, highly maneuverable mower tough enough to serve the commercial mowing industry. They delivered one that would transform the lawn care industry for years.
MANUFACTURING EFFICIENCIES: At Grasshopper, we believe that being aware of environmental issues benefits not only our planet, but our customers and our business. The Grasshopper Company endeavors not only to recycle lawn materials but also raw materials in the production process. Our Computer Aided Drafting/Computer Aided Machining system fully integrated with a 3-D solid modeling computer design system optimizes the use of material and production time.
SERVICE, SUPPORT, AND SAFETY: Grasshopper mowers are designed for minimal maintenance and low cost of ownership. Yet, even the best-built equipment will eventually need replacement parts and/or service. Perform all maintenance as recommended in operator's manual and protect your mower from harsh elements by storing in a shelter or under a cover. Keep engine, mower deck and all other parts of the mower free from dirt and debris. The mower should be cleaned after each mowing using compressed air.
