Pleasant Mills, PA Mowing with my Grasshopper is the most fun I can have without being arrested. Travis M Columbia City, IN I grew up using Grasshoppers with the blade or the snowthrower....using a walk-behind snowblower is just not the same....benefits of Dad being a Grasshopper rep for almost twenty-five years...there's nothing better! Joey C Cedartown, GA Grasshopper is, by far the most ergonomic and economic machine out there. After 20 years of using them, I should know... Boyd C Williamsport, IN I purchased a Grasshopper 720 with a 61" deck in 1992. My ground is rough and there is lots to mow around and under. This mower has never failed me and the only expense other than fuel and oil has been 2 spark pugs, a set of blades and one deck wheel. The belts still look good and everything works OK. It's a joy to run, and I like the way the deck carrier wheels and arms are much lower than other brands. This allows mowing under evergreens and bushes. My dealer told me this would be my last mower; I guess he was right. 19 years of faithful use and still going like new. I love it. Thank you. Boyd (89 yrs of age) Dick C Waukee, IA Dick and Deb have owned Grasshopper Equipment for over 10 years. Our customers here at Timberline Campground and Nursery located in central Iowa are always amazed of all the figure 8's, circles and the straight lines we create on our 40 acres site using our dependable and easy to operate 725 72" FrontMount mower thus our Grassterpiece. As a matter of fact, my brother decided to buy his own campground, after using ours, so he could have a Grasshopper too!! Emanual County Board of Education Twin City, GA We use our Grasshopper mower to maintain all our athletic fields. We've had the Grasshopper for one year and realize the cost savings from faster mowing time, lower maintenance, greater comfort and an excellent cut. Plus, the PowerVac keeps the turf healthy! We no longer need a slow and expensive reel mower. Thanks, Grasshopper! Coach Kris Kearson, Coach Dwayne Tabor, Coach Chad Harper. Wayne R O'Brien, FL I purchased my Grasshopper about a year ago. The mower I had before had a 42-inch cut. It took me about three hours plus to mow my one and three quarters of an acre lawn. Now with my Grasshopper I can mow my lawn in about an hour so it saves me a lot of time. With the zero turn, I can trim close to my trees and plants, very fast. The seatbelt is really good because I am a double above the knee amputee, so I don't have to worry about falling off. It is also easy for me to get on and off this mower. The deck is great too, because Ii can pick up limbs and trash if I need to. I think you could say that I really love my Grasshopper. Michael S Delaware, OH We have been using Grasshopper mowers since 1978, and still can't find a better machine to mow with! The dependability and reliability of Grasshopper is second to none! Dennis Y Jamestown, PA This is my second Grasshopper mower, my first was a 1999, 725K, I was very pleased on how it maintained a high trade value, when I purchased my 2010, 725D. I am mowing approximately six acres, and it makes trimming around flower beds and trees a breeze. In the winter I am clearing nearly 700 feet of driveway and with the lake effect you can expect snow, snow and more snow. Regardless if the snow is wet or just deep the Grasshopper has proven it has the power to get the job done. The Grasshopper is dependable, powerful, easy to service and just fun to operate. Allen H Carlisle, IN I bought my first Grasshopper mower in 1995 and it proved to be the best decision I ever made. I mow 4 acres once and sometimes twice a week, we have a 4-5 acre lake around our place. The FrontMount deck works great to keep grass trimmed close to the edge of the water,under and around trees, buildings and grain bins. We only had to do routine maintenance on the mower and had over a 1,000 hours on it when we traded it for a 2007 727 61" deck mower. I wanted the PowerFold deck lift because I was getting too old to try and get the flat deck cleaned. The Grasshopper does an awesome job for me, I wouldn't have any other mower. G.W. C Gadsden, AL I live on and mow seven acres I reclaimed from the woods 34 years ago. From day one, I knew I needed good equipment. I've used front-mount mowers starting with a Gravely 5660 I still own. I added a John Deere F725 in 1996. As my lawn matured with me, I promised my "joints" a more comfortable, technically advanced mower that would last until I retire from yard work. After much research, I settled on the Grasshopper 930D. It has a 61" PowerFold deck, the Grammer seat and extended steering levers. Your regional sales rep said the 930D was actually designed for commercial and governmental use. I knew then it was the mower for my seven acres. I could not believe the comfort and ease of operation! What a great ride! This diesel powered machine is a mowing beast and has reduced my mowing time by half. Larry A Bennington, NE I take care of 1.75 acres and my Grasshopper 727 52-inch cut make life much easier. I all so have the large two-stage snow plower and it does a great job. Alan A Newton, IA We own 5 acres. When we first bought our home, we got some miniature donkeys to eat the grass because there was too much to mow. But the donkeys couldn't keep up either, and were soon buried in the grass. So I bought a Grasshopper, and discovered that I can easily mow all our 5 acres, plus a little extra down the highway. We still have the donkeys, but now they live in the lap of luxury with a nicely mowed pasture. Our place, both the fenced and unfenced portions is truly a "grassterpiece" all summer long. In the winter, I attach a blade to my Grasshopper, and make paths in the barn lot so the spoiled little donkeys can easily get from the barn to their feed bunks and to the water. Madera Cemetery District Madera, CA Our "Grassterpiece" is that of Patriotism shown to those that served in the Civil War, World War I, World War II, Vietnam War, Korea and Iraq/Afghanistan conflicts. All of our Veteran's burial areas are groomed with Grasshopper mowers. In 1994, the Madera Cemetery District purchased its first of six Grasshopper mowers. They are exceptional machines that cover over 85 arces of our four highly maintained cemeteries. We can stop on a dime and maneuver around tight areas with headstones. These mowers are easily maintained "in-house". For a first-class job we use a first-class Grasshopper and say "thanks" for the privilege. We salute our fallen Soldiers and honor them by our Grassterpiece we create when mowing these honorable grounds using Grasshoppers. Sincerely, Barbara Manfredo, District Manager Jerry S Farmington, MO I purchased a 620T with a 48" mower deck and 48" dozer blade in November 2010. I thought at the time I would use it for snow removal 2 or 3 times during the winter. We had several snows ranging from 2 to 9 inches. I was very pleased with the performance of the Grasshopper. My neighbors were also pleased. During one snow I cleaned 9 driveways in the neighborhood. The drive wheels on the front of the 620T give me the traction and maneuverability that allows me to clear snow quicker and easier than I was able to [with another zero turn and blade]. Samuel M Smyrna, DE Grasshopper and I go back to 1989 when I purchased my first one. Since then, I have had seven 44-inch Grasshopper mowers, and two are still in use. I do my "Grasshopper thing" in four cemeteries, the largest being eleven acres. Although I have other equipment, a Grasshopper and a weedwhip are my primary tools for mowing and trimming. 2011 marks my 27th year of mowing cemeteries for Asbury United Methodist Church and the Duck Creek Historical Society. I did not start Sam's Lawn Service with a Grasshopper, but in retrospect, I don't know how I got by without one. Dorothy J Williamsburg, IA My dad, Joe, proudly groomed our Century Farm acreage with ease using his prized Grasshopper mower. Wide open expanse or trimming around the tightly spaced blue spruce grove were equally maneuvered. Every week, Dad would create another Grasserpiece utilizing the Grasshoppers versatility. This past Fall, Dad passed away the age of 87, but his love of mowing was passed down to us and in his memory, we continue to use the Grasshopper to attain eye-pleasing results. Lawrence R O'Neill, NE We have over 600 trees and shrubs on our acreage and mowing with our Grasshopper makes it a breeze. The best thing about it is the comfy seat and safe, easy maneuvering around our landscaping - we have no problem getting the teenagers to mow for us! Gordon H Upland, IN I enjoy mowing my lawn with my new Grasshopper mower that I bought last summer; my lawn always looks great now. Its quick and easy to use, does a great job cutting the grass is so even. I have never been happier with any other mower like I have been with my Grasshopper. Mowing is not a chore when using a Grasshopper, its just fun. Moss C Louisville, KY When I mow around, and under our treehouse it is always a challenge that my Grasshopper is able to handle. From straight lines, to the diamond cut, I am able to work my way under, and around the obstacles of the playset to make my yard a true Grassterpiece. Karla T Emporia, KS My "Grassterpiece" not only includes our very large yard, but many others. You see, my husband and I have our own mowing company. We named it T&K Mowing because we are Terry and Karla. We are both over 50 and enjoy having our own business. I enjoy my 72-inch, rear discharge, zero turn diesel Grasshopper. I call it the "Cadillac" because it rides so smooth! It really helps having the Grammer seat. The rear discharge is the best thing since apple pie! It makes mowing fun! Our yard is about 4 acres and was a challenge before we got the Grasshopper. It is really great for the mowing business because it doesn't blow grass all over side walks. Happy Mowing Trails to you! Kent A Falling Waters, WV Hello Grasshopper Friends! The "Grassterpiece" I create with my Grasshopper 223 is on our two acre homestead that I share with my wife Kim and our six four-legged children. I keep the yard manicured to the best with the help of my Grasshopper that I purchased in 2008 from a local dealer that I have dealt with for years. I had a small landscaping/ mowing business in the earlier 90's and have always used a Grasshopper. I feel it's a top-notch mower whether it is just the everyday homeowner or the commerical landscaper, it is a realiable machine with a smooth steering transmission and a cut like no other!!! My neighbors always compliment our yard saying that it looks like a golf course, I thank them and tell them "Thanks to the Grasshopper!" Rickey R Oak Grove, LA I love my Grasshopper mower. Mowing the lawn is a job, but mowing with my Grasshopper is a job I enjoy doing. I just smile when I think about owning a piece of equipment that actually cuts down not only the grass but also on the time it takes to get the job done and that makes me and my family happy. Don't worry, Be happy and get your own equipment by Grasshopper and you will SMILE too. Gerald S Allenwood, PA Everyone who visits us comments on our beautiful lawn surrounding the pond and adjoining woods. We give the credit to our Grasshopper. Also, using it in the winter months with the snow, the powerful blowers send the snows off the lane and deep into the forest. Our Grasshopper saves so much time to allow for our fun activities with the fast job of mowing with ease or snowblowing. What I love is everytime I go to start my machine up, it is so dependable, always ready to do it's job. It's dependability is remarkable. With all the talk from my wife to friends, neighbors, etc. on our Grasshopper, you get tons of word-of-mouth advertising on your special product. Thanks for this incredible machine. Diane G Cleveland, TN Before my husband retired 5 years ago, he told his co-workers he needed to get me a mower that would last me the rest of my mowing life. He looked at every kind of mower you could ever think of and then he found the wonderful, easy-mowing Grasshopper I have now. I love to mow our 6 acre yard. It always looks so good and makes the homestead look great! Now my husband of 42 years lounges on the porch, rocking in his chair, while I sit high atop the most wonderful mower in the world. In the rain or in the sun, my canopy take care of me while I take care of my yard with my Grasshopper. A very proud Grasshopper owner for life! John W Live Oak, FL I use my Grasshopper Model 223 to mow our 2,000-foot by 150-foot turf airstrip in Suwannee County, Florida. Previously I used a small farm tractor with a finish mower but the Grasshopper does a much better job in the same time. I also mow the lawn at our local Pregnancy Care Center and the lawn at our Catholic Sister's home in Lake City, Florida as a volunteer service to them. We also use the Model 223 for our own lawn. We receive great service from our local Grasshopper dealerin Live Oak, Florida who recommended I purchase the 61" deck. I could not be more pleased with the Model 223. Rick C Canandaigua, NY I absolutely love my Grasshopper mower. I greatly enjoy cutting grass, and my Grasshopper makes me feel like an artist. I cut 18 acres of grass nearly twice a week, and the Grasshopper makes it not only a pleasurable activity that I look forward to, but also a very therapeutic one. Perfectly mowed blades of grass, straight cutting lines, gentle swails that are never scalped give me a feeling of satisfaction, accomplishment, and pride. I do feel like an artist, perhaps a sculptor, when I am done. The best part is that I get to recreate this all again five to seven days later. I am a physician and have what some would call a stressful job. My Grasshopper, accompanied by gentle music, reenergizes me both physically and emotionally, and I greatly look forward to my time on the mower. I am always amazed and somewhat delighted when my friends and colleagues visit my property and ask me for the name of my landscaper. The Grasshopper allows me to achieve a result equivalent to that of a professional landscaping company, at a fraction of the price. When I complete my lawn and grounds, I feel a tremendous sense of accomplishment; but more than having finished the job, I take pride in the quality of the work I have been able to do because of the special skill set of my Grasshopper. An extra bonus is to see my four horses all anxiously waiting at the pasture fence for their treat of finely mowed grass. I want to thank you for creating the incredible mower. I have had and still have several mowers, but by far the best is my Grasshopper. It truly is a work of art that allows me to create landscaping Grassterpieces. William M Townsend, GA My Grassterpiece is located at Shellmen Bluff in McIntosh County on the Georgia coast. A 21 acre residential and commercial development. Upon finishing the infrastructure I knew the 21 acres would require many hours of maintenance mowing. The Grasshopper mower has given me five years of excellent service. Mowing bermuda sod, centipede, and also brushy areas. Also there are several other residential family lots I mow. I maintain the mower thru a certified grasshopper service provider with an annual checkup and in between service as needed. Thank you Grasshopper for a reliable and able assistant. Gail S Nampa, ID Here in Idaho we don't mow slow and low. I don't want to spend my weekend cutting grass, I would rather be catching crappie and bass. My Grasshopper zips through the grass, so I can get out to the lake fast. My Grasshopper completes the job lickity-split, so the lawn is mowed and the wife won't have fit. Maurice D Mount Vernon, IL I use my Grasshopper mower to keep the family bivouac (open air encampment) area ready for use when the family gathers to visit or help on the farm. This area has been used to house a house trailer home for a family member, and is used as a campsite for campers and tents. I also mow the lawn, farm and shed lots, around the pond, and the horse pasture. My wife and I are the parents of five, grandparents of eleven, and great-grandparents of three. Grasshopper mowers are owned by five family members. Herman F Lisbon, ND That Grasshopper just sitting resting, till called upon for duty, just to turn the key it roars into action, and makes short work of a long day. John K Mandan, ND I was tired of my old mower, fighting it to clean under the deck and spinning out trying to blow snow in the winter time, and also my wife was tired of seeing me struggle and complain about it. So after careful consideration and test drives, I decided to purchase a Grasshopper 620T with PowerFold 52" deck, a 48" snow blower, and interested in purchasing a bagging system for it. I love the Grasshopper cause it cut down on the time it took me to cut the lawn and to blow snow. My dog, Trooper, loves it also because before I can put it away when I'm done, he barks at me till I give him a ride around the yard. Thank You for a great product, I'm looking forward to future machines with new features and implements that are developed. Darrell W Marionville, MO THere is just a small part of our 1 1/2 acres I mow with my Grasshopper. I have to make sure that the cut is spiral looking around our storm shelter. The whole lawn has to look like one big perfect cut, and when I am done it is just so nice and perfectly groomed. I love my Grasshopper! Billy M Princeton, KY I purchased my first Grasshopper in 1976 to mow several yards for supplemental income. In 2010, I bought another Grasshopper, retired from my golf course superintendent position and picked up more mowing jobs - all at the age of 80. I'm still going strong! When I attend GIE+EXPO in Louisville, the first place I head for each year is the Grasshopper booth. I've shared 35 great years with your fine mowing machine. Lance E Sedgwick, KS I don't have use a push mower anymore. By using the Grasshopper mower I save valuable time that I can spend with my wife and kids. I have the only Grasshopper mower in my neighborhood. My other neighbors have a JD riding mower and there is no comparison of how much better the Grasshopper mows compared to the JD. John R Ada, MI My 8 acres, two 30 foot rockets, pond and the Grand River in my backyard pose no "threat" to my Grasshopper. Thanks for a great product. Donald N Bowling Green, OH I have 2.3 acres around my house and about 2 miles of walking trails that wonder through our 25 acres of property. We live out in the country and have turned our land into a haven for all kinds of wildlife. I love my Grasshopper. It has made my mowing job a lot faster, a lot more comfortable, and I'm proud of my lawn. Jason K Rosharon, TX I own a landscape maintenance company and my Grasshopper 322D gets used at least 5 days a week. On the weekends though, I take it home to cut my own yard. My son loves to mow, too, and he wants to be just like his daddy...A future Grasshopper customer for sure! Reed C Whittington, IL I am the host and owner of a campground. I navigate between electric pedestals, water spigots and sewer caps. I use it to mow our frontage area and am able to easily mow our road ditches. I also maneuver it around trees, our campground is extremely wooded and I have no problems mowing around all of them with my Grasshopper 930D. I am able to mow our 26 acre campground in a time span of two days, keeping the grounds extremely neat and pristine. I choose a Grasshopper for its efficiency, reputation and riding comfort. Chris H Bowling Green, KY We use our Grasshopper to mow the 15 acre welcome center on I-65 at the KY/TN state line. The visitors seem to really aprpreciate such a beautiful place to stop and rest. Brian S Montour Falls, NY I use my 729BT to get my weekends back!! I used to spend 8 hours mowing and trimming two 3 acre lawns. Now I finish them both, including moving the mower, in 3 hours. Doug F Palmetto, FL I own a lawn care business and I have three Grasshopper diesel mowers, which help make the green grass of sunny Bradenton, FL look perfectly groomed for my many satisfied clients. I have been using Grasshopper for over ten years and they are by far the most superior mowers available. Patricia B Live Oak, FL At our pecan orchard we have many pecan trees and fruit treas and beautiful bushes. We used to mow with a tractor that had a finish mower. It took two days to mow around the trees. When my husband got cancer it was my turn to mow and i couldnt use the tractor as easily so he bought me a Grasshopper. Not only does the area look amazing, I feel like I am having fun, not working. Thanks Grasshopper! Evelyn S Garrett, IN I mow approximately 10 acres, which has many trees, steep hills, trimming next to three barns, and a 15 acre lake. I love my Grasshopper 721DT diesel as it mows the entire plot on less than a tank of fuel. With my old mower, I had to stop and fuel up three times. Ernie V Turney, MO I live on one and 1/2 acres about an hour north of Kansas City. This is my third Grasshopper. They have all been great machines and have lasted a long time. My newest is a 735BT. It has plenty of power and I love it! Mark K Ider, AL Our house sits on two acres in the middle of 40 acres of pasture and woods. I use my Grasshopper 223 to mow the long gravel driveway that leads from the county road to our house. My areas to mow have lots of trees and obstacles the Grasshopper does great! I am a recently retired from the Marine Corps and the last thing I wanted to do in my retirement was spend all my time cutting the grass and wrestling with a mower that was not dependable. I could not be more pleased with my purchase of this mower and the relationship I have with my dealer in Chattanooga. I shopped around and did research for months prior to making this purchase and my dealer was the difference. I knew that I was getting a quality product and a quality rep that I could trust with any problem or issue. After a year and a half, both the mower and the rep have more than proven themselves. Darrell B Oakdale, LA I use my Grasshopper to Create and Develop. To put those two words in perspective, I purchased approximately one and a half acres of wooded land in Oakdale. After having most of the trees removed from the property, there remained many weeds and brush. I purchased a model 124 in April 2009. I used it to help developthe land by using the powerful cutting ability of the mower to cut down the weeds and brush. It took a lot of work, but the mower was up to the task. Now I use it to create a beautifully manicured lawn until my dream home can be built some time later this year on the property. I am proud to be a Grasshopper owner. Bob K Mooreton, ND I have had my Grasshopper for 4 years now and have had no problems. I have a PowerVac collecter and a dethatcher that I use mostly to gather up the twigs and small branches so I don't have to rake the lawn. I have had 2 similar mowers from a competitor and this mower is the best by far. I am a happy and proud owner of a Grasshopper! Luther B Cookeville, TN My Grasshopper 124 can efficiently maneuver around trees and flower beds in my 2.5 acre yard. It's great. Scott P Oxford, OH I have a 721 diesel with a dozer blade attachment. This year, after a very large, late, unexpected February snowfall, I plowed my driveway, my neighbor's driveway and his neighbor's driveway...Boy do I ever love my Grasshopper! Oh, and I use it to mow my 5 acres in spring and summertime, too. Misti N Greenville, NC We have a 30 acre farm, which includes a large cow pasture, horse pasture, and dog pen area along with two home lawns and barn yard. My 722D can spread cow and horse manure and still cut all of my grass with ease. I am able to cut close enough to fence post and trees without ever having to weed eat. It is by far the toughest mower I have ever had. I love the way the deck floats up and down over the different terrain on our property. The comfort of the seat is the bomb not to mention the cup holder and storage compartment. I look forward to fueling up and mowing each week. Syl S Alexandria, MN I have to mow 5 acres of thick, lush grass around large bushy evergreen trees that are home to all kinds of wildlife, flower gardens in full bloom, barns as well as up and down ditches on more than once a week. They 61" deck shows a few signs of the occassional brush ups with the landscape but it's no worse for wear. It's a great life living in the country of west central Minnesota where the season changes with the wind, and allows for the grass to have a mind of it's own that I whip back into managable shape with my model 723. Trust me, I don't mess around, i can really cut grass. And I have a soft spot for Grasshoppers: this is my 4th one. Ken B Oak Ridge, MO Grasshopper Mower to keep the grounds looking great at the Cape County Cowboy Church outside of Oak Ridge, MO. I also use it at home to mow about 4 acres on Paradise Lane. It's a great mower and the front deck with the power fold makes blade changing and cleaning under the deck a breeze. I mowed professionally for many years and can say this is one of the best handling, easiest to use mowers I've had. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone looking for a great, easy to use dependable mower. Tom C Sheldon, MO On our farm, we have to mow roadsides, under electric fences in pastures, around farm buildings, rental property, and keep approximately 12 acres of lawn for four of our immediate families looking freshly manicured every week. The ease of maintenance was the deciding factor when I chose a new Grasshopper 722D. Even after two years and 210 hours, I am still astonished at what you can mow down with it. The mowing speed and maneuverability were an unexpected bonus, and that makes mowing fun, an unadvertised surprise. Suddenly everyone in the family wants to mow. In my 50 years of farming, I have bought alot of machinery, but my Grashopper mower is one of the best buys I ever made. William B Shelton, WA I have a 930D with a PowerVac collector which helps me maintain my 15 acres overlooking Puget Sound and Mt. Rainier in Washington State. The views are great, including my lawn. Gary T Union, OH I mow 24 residental yards from 1/3 acre to 3 acres and blow snow for 8-10 older clients, as well as mow my personal 1 acre with my 722D. I wouldn't use anything else. Debbie P Fort Atkinson, WI We mow our lawn, mow around the pond and mow my Mother-in-law's lawn in the Summer. When fall arrives we use the attachment for picking up leaves. In the winter my husband uses the snowblower attachment to remove the snow from our driveway. When Spring comes we use the dethatcher attachment. We purchased our 721D three years ago and have put 375 hours on it. It has reduced our mowing time 1/3 from the previous mower. I love it! Danny P Richmond, IN This past December I had major back surgery and didn't think I would be able to mow again, but my 725D Gasshopper with the optional suspension seat made it possible for me. I never would have believed it could ride this good. I'm honored to get the oportunity to tell how this makes me feel. I can mow my 4 acre yard with comfort. Thanks Grasshopper, it means so much to me. Phil D Bluffton, IN I take great pride in mowing and keeping our local township cemetery looking neat and respectable. My Grasshopper is essential to that task. It lets me mow closely along the headstones to keep the grounds well-groomed for visitors. It is an honor to me to care for this cemetery. Barbara M Lacombe, LA My husband uses his Grasshopper to cut the grass around our yard. He cuts the grass beside the garden, along the bayou and through trails in the woods. His 52" 223 makes a quick job of the grassy acres everywhere. Derek C Pineville, MO We have 5 acre yard that sits in the middle of our 55 acres here in the Missouri Ozarks. Over the years, we have been through MANY riding lawn mowers. Not only did they not hold up to the task of such a huge yard given to bumps, rocks, and uneven terrain (we were buying about one every year or so), but it would take over 3 hours to mow and weed eat. After the BEST purchase EVER with our Grasshopper 723K, it takes 40 minutes tops! It gets so close to the trees and edges, we don't NEED to weed eat as much or in as many places! It performs like a champ EVERY time! I've even mowed our pastures effortlessly. No other mower I've ever owned can do that! The Grasshopper has been the best and wisest investment our family has made to maintain our yard. Worth its weight in gold, not to mention FUN! Not many people can say that about their mower, unless they own a Grasshopper like we do! Allen T Arcadia, OK I have a 322D that I use to cut my 4 1/2 acres around my home. It is nice to be able to be comfortable and be able to mow your yard. I get many compliments and have referred many people to Grasshopper equipment. I am pleased to tell them that I use the "zero turn" Grasshopper!!! Jean B Sioux Falls, SD At age 6, I had polio so I do not have normal use and strenth in my right arm. Consequently I had never operated a riding mower until a neighbor said "I think you could operate our Grasshopper." My husband picked it up and I mowed the farm. It worked great and hubby didn't waste anytime buying me one. I LOVE it. My husband claims that I keep making the yard bigger and bigger. I even mow down by the slough! Thanks for making a mower I can use. Going strong at 63 (been mowing 5 years now)! Frank M Orleans, IN I mow two beautiful acres in Southern Indiana. Whenever I finish mowing, my lawn looks like a manicured golf course. The quick releasing PowerVac collector picks up every blade of grass, to keep my lawn looking nice week after week. Timothy S St. Peters, MO I use a Grasshopper Mower to mow my customers lawns and make them look beautiful. It is so comfortable and easy using my 700 series mower. I have had my Grasshopper 4 years now and it runs like the first day I bought it. Carol L Butler, GA My Grasshopper helps me multi-task! Here in the north Georgia mountains, on the bank of the Toccoa River, I use my 72" diesel Grasshopper to keep my grounds looking like a park. I can add a 25 gallon sprayer and keep the area around the many trees on the flood plain vegetation free. This mower can zip around these trees and get me back on the porch swing all in the space of an hour! Ronnie K Deford, MI Since 1996, I have been CEO of my lawn care service and purchased nine Grasshoppers. I stay busy mowing 50 yards through the hills and hollers of Kentucky each week. One might say my mowers and I have bonded quite well over the last 14 years. I have broadened my customer base to include both residential and commercial lawn care and have expanded into the next county. I am very fortunate to care for quaint, little yards in small subdivisions and to maintain some very well-manicured business lawns in these small towns. I believe my Grasshoppers and I still have many lawns to conquer and I hope we are mowing strong for the next 14 years to come. David G Edmonton, KY Since 1996, I have been CEO of my lawn care service and purchased nine Grasshoppers. I stay busy mowing 50 yards through the hills and hollers of Kentucky each week.

I am very fortunate to care for quaint, little yards in small subdivisions and to maintain some very well-manicured business lawns in these small towns. I believe my Grasshoppers and I still have many lawns to conquer and I hope we are mowing strong for the next 14 years to come. Anthony M Eau Claire, MI My house sits on 11 acres on a steep hill with a 1/4-mile driveway. Everyone thought that my Grasshopper and snowthrower would not be able to handle the hill or the driveway, but even with several feet of snow last winter, the Grasshopper proved them all wrong! Preston H Shelbyville, KY I own a 1999 928D Grasshopper mower. It allows me to maneuver skillfully among the tombstones in two cemeteries with 75 acres total. The mower has over 8,000 hours; I've nicknamed it 'Old Man.' My goal is to run the mower until it turns 10,000 hours. All the mowers I own are 928D diesels. Everyone has a favorite mower they like to run. The FrontMount mowers have certainly cut the mowing time down in the cemeteries and are also able to get much closer to the stone. I have been pleased with the service I have received from the mowers. It also comes out in the winter when I mount a blade on the front for snow removal. Steve G Bluffton, IN Our Grasshoppers help keep our business on the cutting edge and forefront of the business world. We love our Grasshopper mowers! We advertise them, we sell them & We use them. Since 1990, Grasshopper has played a huge part in our business & helps us maintain 80 properties each week. We currently have 5 machines on our crew. We also love the sprayer attachment which we use to spray each property. Thanks Grasshopper for a great machine!! Paul B Vernon, AL I have to mow the hilly terrain on my 5 acres with multiple fruit trees, the 1 acre of our church, 1 acre of my son's and 1 acre of my daughter's. Our frontage property off the highway has a 45 degree slope on it, only the Grasshopper has been able to get it done! I love my Grasshopper and never want to mow with any other mower ever again! Gary L Maria Stein, OH I use my Grasshopper to mow our three acre lawn around farm buildings, trees, landscaping and shrubbery. Ralph B Southwest Ranches, FL I live in the Big Cypress National Preserve, Everglades, Ochopee, Florida. The terrain is swampy and I have to contend with alligators, black bears, and possibly the mysterious skunkapes, and my Grasshopper is definitely always up to the challenge. Vicki C Louisville, KY I use my Grasshopper 727K to expidite the mowing of a nine acre estate, along with the other large yards our lawn service maintains. Loyd A Karnack, TX I mow a cemetary in a wildlife refuge in Karnack where civil war vetrans are buried. Grasshopper helps me keep the cemetery looking respectful. Gail S Nampa, ID With my Grasshopper 124, I cut my mowing time in half compared to my previous mower. My three-quarters of an acre in has multiple landscaped obstacles and is mowed with ease, thanks to my Grasshopper. Even my family and friends seem to enjoy my Grasshopper, so much that I come home after a long days work to find my lawn already mowed. Now, you can't ask for a better mower than that! Kathryn O Plainville, KS My Grasshopper helps me maintain a beautiful lawn in which I have received many compliments including one from a 7th grade student who told me one day in class, "My Dad says you have the best lawn in town." Being a teacher, my off season is in the summer and I enjoy being outdoors after being in a classroom for nine months. Summer is peak season for my husband who is a civil engineer; so mowing our five acres is my responsibility. Having the Grasshopper gave me the confidence to cut down nine 50 year old cedar trees two summers ago which divided our two acre resident lots from the additional adjoining three acres of grass we recently purchased. Now everyone frequently tells me how beautiful our view is and we all enjoy watching the wildlife. John S Hamlet, IN I have bad shoulders, but my Grashopper is easy on them. I live on a forty acre farm with lot's of tree's to mow around plus I say this Grasshopper sure has a lot of firepower! Mary E Marion, IN I used a tractor style mower to mow my large farm for many years. Upon the recommendation of my son, I purchased my first Grasshopper (616) in 1995. Wow! The ease of operation and time saved were unbelievable along with the ease of maintenance and cleaning. In 2006 I bought a new 618 with PowerFold. At the age of 91, I stopped mowing at the request of my children. My son=in-law now mows for me now, but they let me take it for a ride now and then. I'm 93 now, and I still love my Grasshopper. Jeremy J Sylvania, AL My Grasshopper moves smooth and quick, and it helps me keep my yard looking great. I can have my yard mowed in very little time and still have the prettiest lawn in Sylvania. I also mow a neighbor's yard. When I get done she walks out on her from porch with a smile on her face telling me what a great job I have done. Little does she know its not me, its my Grasshopper that makes her happy. And it helps keep my churchyard mowed. There are many turns and hills in my churchyard, but with my Grasshopper its a piece of cake. I just makes my life easier and happier, leaving a smile on my face. William V Safford, AL I mow the horse paddocks and related grounds on my horse farm in west central Alabama using a 930D with a 72" mower deck. My wife uses a 928D with a PowerVac to mow around the house in areas where we want the clippings removed. In all, they mow approximately 25 acres. We live in a very rural area and therefore reliability becomes a major factor - and after owning 3 Grasshoppers over the past 15 years, I can attest to their reliability. But also we need strength, speed, comfort, and beautiful results. Our Grasshopper mowers give us all of those qualities. These mowers may well be the last mower we will buy, but, if the need arises, my next mower will be - you guessed it - a Grasshopper. Randall T Holt, MO My Grasshopper helps me de-stress after a week in corporate America! After traveling all week long I look forward to coming home and mowing my 10 acres. Hey, my wife says its cheaper than therapy! Georgia B Tioga, ND I try and keep ahead of the fast growing grass at our farm home and lot by the river. As new 620 Grasshopper owners we are gettingreal used to its effectiveness and efficiency. What I like best is the ease in maneuvering around trees, shrubs, outbuildings, grain bins and machinery as well as being able to get at and clean the deck after every mowing job. Our new mower is not as time-saving as everyone had promised because I am finding new and exciting places to mow - Look out prairie and ditches! Here comes the Grasshopper! I will continue to enjoy my Grasshopper for years to come as my husband claims this is the last present he plans to give me!! Grace H Shelbyville, KY My dad has a lawn service and I help him mow in my spare time. Just as the young grasshopper hops nimbly among the grass, my 928D Grasshopper makes it easy for me to move among the stones in the cemeteries we mow. However, my favorite places to mow are wide open areas when after a busy day at work I can let the Grasshopper do all the work and I am able to relax and wind down. WHAT A GREAT MOWER!!! Kip F Edinburgh, IN We have 6 Children and farm. We mow around our home, farm and our grass waterways in our Corn and Soybean fields as well. We wanted a new mower and I called 2 dealerships to test drive a mower. We got a Grasshopper and a Dixie Chopper to test in heavy leaves in the Fall of 2005 at our home. My wife drove the Dixie while I drove the Grasshopper. We then switched mowers and I asked the question "Which mower did you like best?" We both said the Grasshopper. The ride was a key component, plus we liked the Diesel option for the farm too. Our dealer provides great service too. I seldom get to mow the lawn or grass waterways, because one of my 6 children or wife gets to it first. They love mowing with the Grasshopper. Which leaves me wondering: "Where in the World is MY Grasshopper?" Scott S Sweetwater, TN Just wanted to let you know of my good experience with one of your reps and a dealer. Your area representative directed me to the dealer in Harriman, TN at the farmer's co-op for some repair and I want to let you know that they did a great job. This is my second grasshopper mower of which the first one lasted 11 years without any problems and I've only had this one issue with this mower. I look forward to buying more in the future and telling others about your product. Keep up the good work! Jim B Perkiomenville, PA As I was finishing up the grass cutting and leaf cleanup season, I was reminded just how much easier, greener and safer my Grasshopper 722D with a 61” combo deck makes these tasks. It is a green machine. It mows my lawn in 1/3 the time it would take with my previous mower, saving time and fuel. It mulches grass clippings into small pieces allowing them to decompose into free fertilizer. It mulches leaves into such small pieces there is nothing left, eliminating any raking, collection or burning – saving time, my back and the atmosphere (and again, free fertilizer). I also cut about 3 acres at the lodge in town once a week. I use the mower deck to mulch, and it doesn’t discharge anything out the side, not even an occasional rock or stick. This alone makes Grasshopper the safest mower I have ever used, especially when mowing in town around people, cars and houses. I wouldn’t dream of mowing any other way. If that weren’t enough, when fall clean up is done, I remove the mower deck and attach the snowthrower in preparation for our Pennsylvania snowstorms. I really think this information should get out to prospective customers when they are in the market for a new mower or should I say when they are in the market for a safe, hard-working, easy-to-operate green machine. As far as I’m concerned, good, dedicated people and a great product are what Grasshopper is all about. Keep up the good work and by all means get the word out. Alexa J Xenia, OH I love my Grasshopper 722D because it took my mowing needs from 8 hours to 3 hours and that is amazing. William M Lincoln, NE We purchased our first Grasshopper mower last spring after looking at lots of different brands of mowers. We live on an acreage and needed an easy efficient way to mow our 5 acres. My wife, Jeanette, loves the ease and comfort of the Grasshopper so much now that I almost never get a turn to mow now. The dealer from whom we bought the Grasshopper told us that this is the last mower we will ever need to buy, and we are convinced he is right. Allen A Winfield, MO My Grasshopper has reduced my mowing time by about 50%. I had the mulching kit installed and now there's no more raking. I'm not tired from all the steering action of my old mower. I actually look forward to the next time the lawn needs mowed. Robert G Pennsville, NJ I use to cut my 8 acre lawn with a medium size tractor with a 6' finish deck mower on back and it took me about 3 hours to complete, now that I have a Grasshopper 722D mower I now cut my grass in 1-1/2 hours, what a machine, I love it! Eric S Mountain Home, AR As local firefighter, I pride myself in providing for my family. My wife and I were blessed with identical twin boys in January of 2007. I took on an additional challenge of a lawn service to provide an additional income for our new little family. Though I give every third 24 hour shift to the Fire Department and most days in between to mowing, I still find time for my family. Not only is EVERY fire truck daddy's fire truck but EVERY lawn mower is daddy's as well. Anytime I feel stressed or when my work load is heavy, all I have to do is think of the sweet smiles that will meet me when I get home! Thanks Grasshopper! John S Manchester, PA Having owned a Grasshopper mower for less than a year, I was looking forward to using the snowthrower attachment I had purchased. I even put it on at the beginning of our winter season and waited. Finally, enough snow came that I could go out and play. What fun!!! Kenny M Liberty, MO We've been proud Grasshopper owners for the past eleven years, having had three of your mowers. Each time, we traded up, getting a bigger and better engine, larger mower deck and features that make the job of cleaning the mower easier! And, each time, we never considered another brand, only a Grasshopper. My favorite story has got to be when we bought this type mower for the first time. I had researched, shopped and decided that this would be the best value for us. My wife was unsure of her ability to handle the mower and had said, before signing on the dotted line, "You can buy a Grasshopper, but could we get one with a steering wheel?" I assured her that she'd catch on in no time at all, just takes a little practice. And, sure enough, the first day, within the first fifteen minutes, she was sold on it! And has been ever since! Jennifer S Janesville, WI For me and my dog, Scout, the best part of summer is all about riding our Grasshopper. There's plenty of lawn to mow on our farm. The tough part is making sure that I get to the seat before Scout does. Scout has been riding along with me since he was just a puppy. As soon as he hears the mower start up, he comes running and jumps right on. As Scout got bigger, we decided it was best for him to be a spectator. Although, he still gets the occasional ride but always with the blade off; because SAFETY COMES FIRST! Victor G Sheridan, IL I bought my Grasshopper in the summer of 2008. Instead of spending 4 hours mowing my 2 acres, it now takes my about an hour, which gives me more time to spend with my daughter. She also loves to take rides on the grasshopper with me and one day I will teach her how to use it so she can see why this was a much needed purchase! James W Johnston, SC I live on a tree farm and I mow approximately 9 acres of grass every 10 days. My yard proper is 3 1/2 acres alone. Pond frontage adds another 3 1/2 acres then there is the 1200 X 90 foot wide driveway. When I'm through with that, I mow trails and property perimeters. Initially, I used a big John Deere tractor with a bush hog. I discovered that my 928D 72" FrontMount Grasshopper would run circles around the John Deere. This is my second Grasshopper and one would have to fight me to get rid of it. It is so simple to operate that my 11 year old granddaughter can run it. If you want a versatile mower that is built like a tank and runs trouble free, you just can't beat a Grasshopper. Grasshopper makes mowers for any size job. My enormous job is made easy (and fun) with my pride and joy 928D. Stacie G Sweet Springs, MO This is my first Grasshopper mower and it's amazing! I find myself keeping a close eye on the lawn making sure I don't miss an opportunity to give it a clean cut with my Grasshopper. My husband said that if I would let him buy a new Grasshopper that he would agree to do all of the trimming. I think its safe to say I got the better end of the deal on that one! Thanks Grasshopper! Scott R Otwell, IN My Grasshopper really cuts down the mowing time on our 4.5 acre yard, which creates more family time for us. The machine (Grasshopper 223) is made extremely durable, comfortable, safe and we plan on using it for years to come. Thank you for making a quality product.
