Grasshopper mowers are built tough to stand up to the most demanding applications and deliver the highest quality cut. Every Grasshopper is designed for strength and durability without excess weight to provide superb agility with a light footprint.
With precision robotically welded, high-grade steel tubular exoSkeletal™ frame and I-beam reinforcement, Grasshopper mowers are built to last. True metallic fenders and lower ingestion guards shroud internal components from harsh elements and the hazards of commercial mowing.
Anvil-edged DuraMax® decks get their geometric strength from a combination of heavy-gauge, formed steel construction and a 1/2-inch-thick reinforced, angled leading edge.
Powerful, durable overhead valve, horizontal crankshaft engines offer better cooling, airflow and internal lubrication. The horizontal alignment also provides better power transfer to the cutting decks and implements.
Grasshopper mowers also feature:
Massive 8-inch spindle flanges anchored
to double layers of robotically welded formed steel in a
6-bolt pattern spread the force of impact for greater strength
in commercial applications. Triple strength decks are nearly
1 inch thick in stress zones with durable Sentry™
spindles mounted on spindle planes that are more
than 25% thicker than 1/4 inch. Spindle guards shield the
housing and seal lower bearings from grass wrap and dirt
ingestion. High-impact, high-rotational speed bearings
with durable seals for spindle longevity.
GrassMax™ blade system optimizes mowing results with high-strength, tempered steel blades that cut close to deck edges to help eliminate secondary trimming. Choose from a range of specialty blades to suit your application.
A spring-tensioned idler arm system transfers power in a flat plane to specially designed Kevlar® cord belts. Large idlers extend belt life.
Optional heavy-duty TrimMaster™ roller kit for 52-, 61- and 72-inch DuraMax® decks speeds close trimming near buildings, fences and other obstacles.
