OEM parts extend mower life. Don't cut corners on quality. When you invest in quality Grasshopper equipment, don't be tempted to save a few dollars on generic aftermarket parts that can reduce your mower's power or efficiency. Protect your investment and ensure peak performance by trusting only genuine Grasshopper parts and supplies to maintain your mower. After-market parts have proven time and time again to be unacceptable, and have even voided warranty in some situations. Manufactured to meet ultra-precise engineering specifications, genuine Grasshopper parts help you maximize performance and significantly extend the life of your mower. Explore the benefits and see why genuine Grasshopper parts are a “must have” for any owner.

Oil & Air Filters Superior filtration is an absolute essential when it comes to keeping your Grasshopper operating at maximum efficiency. Whether it's the engine's worst enemy, dust, or other abrasive particles that can damage valves and other components, genuine Grasshopper filters are designed to protect the engine and extend service life – so you can get the most out of your equipment investment. Drive System Filters [+] The average human hair is one of the smallest things visible to the human eye – on average, they measure about 70 microns in diameter. A white blood cell, on the other hand, is only 25 microns wide, and is too small to be seen with the naked eye. Unfortunately, particles even smaller than these can contaminate and shorten the life of a drive system. Grasshopper uses a 7-micron absolute filter system on its G2 drive systems that trap 74 out of 75 particles, ensuring an absolutely clean environment in the drive system. Most aftermarket filters capture only about half of larger 10- to 40-micron particles, meaning that the remaining particles – as well as all particles smaller than 10 microns – will pass through unfiltered. Due to Grasshopper's superior fine particle filtration, drive systems last longer and require fewer oil changes, saving you time and money. Engine Air Filters [+] Dust is an engine's worst enemy, and using inferior quality aftermarket filters on your Grasshopper mower can allow dust to cause premature wear and possible failure of the engine – and these types of failures are not warrantable. Using genuine OEM filters will ensure a proper fit and tight seal to prevent dust from reaching the engine. An after-market filter will not provide an exact fit, increasing the likelihood of engine contamination. OEM filters will keep your engine in peak operating condition and prolong the service life of your mower.

MaxLife™ Belts MaxLife™ premium industrial-grade belts conform to rigid Grasshopper specifications for material, dimension, shape, construction and pliability to ensure superior performance and the longest possible service life. Finding an aftermarket belt of the same length won't provide the same performance, so always look for the Grasshopper name on the belt to ensure superior performance.


CoolTemp Hydro-Max™ Transmission Fluid Thanks to the unique formula of our CoolTemp Hydro-Max™ Transmission Fluid, Grasshopper drive systems last longer and perform better than competitive systems. In fact, testing shows a visible difference in component life between systems lubricated with our Grasshopper fluid versus off-the-shelf hydraulic fluids. Specially formulated with patented anti-wear additives that maximize the service life of critical transmission components and minimize fluid and filter changes, CoolTemp Hydro-Max™ Transmission Fluid forms an advanced protective shield to *eliminate break-in fluid changes* and produce the *lowest operating cost* of all commercially available drive systems. Grasshopper recommends *1,000-hour change intervals* with genuine Grasshopper fluid. That's up to four times longer operating hours with no maintenance. Grasshopper fluid costs less than 5 cents per hour to use, so even with large cooling reservoirs, it more than pays for itself in reduced oil volume and labor compared to other off-the-shelf fluids.

Twin-Fiber Tire Sealant Because proper tire inflation improves quality of cut, preventing air loss is essential to your Grasshopper's performance. Grasshopper Tire Sealant stops flats, saves fuel and extends the life of your tires, so you can keep your equipment moving on schedule. Liquid-absorbing cellulose fibers in the sealant immediately fill up to ¼-inch holes in the tread area with their organic bulk, slowing any escaping air while synthetic nylon fibers create a permanent, flexible seal over the hole. Twin-Fiber Sealant contains three times the fiber content of other brands, and is backed by nearly 25 years of market testing. Adheres to the inside of the tire and rim to permanently eliminate flat tires from tread punctures, bead leaks, rim leaks and other forms of air loss for the life of the tire. Effective in temperatures from -40° F. to 200° F., our Twin-Fiber Tire Sealant is pH balanced to prevent rubber corrosion and contains rust inhibitors to protect rims. Available in 32-oz. bottles or 5-gallon buckets with optional reuseable pump for fleet operators.

GrassMax™ Blade System GrassMax™ is the only blade system in the world manufactured to meet the precise design specifications incorporated into every DuraMax® deck. Austempered, boron steel heat-treated to precise molecular structure and hardness is the backbone of a blade series that ensures superior cut quality, long life, minimal grass buildup and optimum airflow for side or rear discharge, mulching or collection. GrassMax™ blades are through-hardened to stay sharp longer and withstand more sharpenings than the lesser case-only hardening found in throw away aftermarket blades. Only GrassMax™ blades have the Grasshopper logo right on the blade, so always ensure you use genuine GrassMax™ blades to guarantee the cut quality and long-lasting durability you expect. High-Low Mulching Blades [+] Designed for use with all mulching packages beginning with the serial number 5700000 and above. In conjunction with Down Discharge™ mulching baffles, High-Low Mulching Blades recut clippings multiple times and return clippings into the turf. Continue to use Medium Lift Blades if they were provided with your original mulching package. Medium Lift Blades [+] Recommended for use with all PowerVac™ Collection Systems, and required with mulching packages that originally include Medium Lift Blades. Also satisfactory for many side-discharge applications, including dry, sandy conditions. Contour Blades [+] The blade of choice for side-discharge mode in ideal conditions where the “one-third” rule is followed, or when mowing over dry, sandy soils. Leaves the most manicured look in high-profile areas that are mowed regularly. Not recommended in lush, moist high-volume conditions. High-Lift Notched Blades [+] Recommended for most normal side-discharge applications, from moist early spring conditions to final mowing in the fall. Not recommended for mulching or vacuum applications. Consider Medium Lift or Contour blades in dry, sandy soils. Extreme High-Lift Notched Blades [+] Recommended for side-discharge applications in very lush or overgrown conditions with liquid-cooled or air-cooled models greater than 23 hp. Not recommended for mulching or vacuum collection applications, and should never be used in dusty, sandy conditions.
