Grasshopper's exclusive PowerFold® (patent pending) option for 48-, 52-, and 61-inch DuraMax® decks combine the ease of electric height adjustment with effortless deck lifting. Available as a factory-installed option or dealer-installed (52- & 61-inch decks), the dual-purpose design of PowerFold® controls both cutting height and deck lift functions with a single switch. An optional armrest switch allows cutting height adjustment on the fly without leaving the operator’s seat.
Activating the switch effortlessly rotates the deck upright, simplifying underside access for blade replacement or sharpening, mulching kit installation or removal, or deck cleaning, while creating a shorter overall length for easy transport or storage. The same switch lets the operator select an infinite range of cutting heights between 1 and 4.5 inches without having to leave the operator's seat.
