Our full-featured, top-of-the-line MidMount™ mower series can be fitted with a 72-inch deck and powered by the legendary power of the Kubota® Clean Diesel engine or the Vanguard® BIG BLOCK™ gas engine.
Design-matched G3 transmission.
The efficient design-matched G3 transmission ensures smooth, zero-turn performance in all of our 400 Series MidMount riding lawn mowers.
The robust G3 hydrostatic transmission is design-matched to the power unit, ensuring smooth, responsive control while delivering more power to the drive tires and cutting deck. The unit features a 21-cc capacity with piston pumps and high-torque Parker wheel motors. The CoolFan™ pump cooling system and 7 micron absolute filter provide a clean, cool internal environment and extend the transmission fluid change interval to up to 1,000 hours.
Industry-leading engine options.
The 400 Series efficient diesel and powerful gas engine options make these zero-turns two of the top choices for commercial mowing.
The 400D mower is powered by a 1.3L, 3-cylinder, liquid-cooled Kubota® Clean Diesel horizontal crankshaft engine. The engine is Tier 4 compliant and is horizontally mounted to provide longer service life. The 440 mower is powered by a 993-cc, V-twin, air-cooled Vanguard® BIG BLOCK™ EFI gasoline engine with Electronic Throttle Control. The engine is horizontally mounted to provide longer service life.
Nothing compares to a DuraMax Deck.
We didn't settle for flimsy, stamped steel decks. We spent years building the toughest, most durable deck around.
All of our mower decks—standard and DuraMax®—are made from the same robotically welded, heavy-gauge, formed steel and are far superior to the flimsy plastic or stamped-steel construction you find elsewhere. We've added an extra layer of heavy-gauged formed steel to our DuraMax deck that sits over the deck’s leading edge for even more durability and impact protection. The geometry of the formed steel is seven times stronger than a strip of flat steel. Our extra deep, 5.5-inch decks are made from years of innovative airflow research and feature specially-designed cutting chambers that deliver enhanced airflow for a better cut quality. Spindles are anchored to double layers of robotically-welded, formed steel in a 6-bolt pattern to 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 extend spindle life. Designed to let you change the way you mow without changing decks, Grasshopper decks let you easily convert between standard Side-Discharge, Down-Discharge Mulching, and PowerVac Collection. Easily reach belts and grease points, plus make quick, simple work out of your routine zero-turn mower maintenance. Every deck comes with a built-in multi-ply rubber striping belt that combs the grass into crisp uniform stripes as you mow without cumbersome rollers that catch obstacles or gouge turf.

Other reasons to buy.
Horizontal Crankshaft Engine
The horizontal crankshaft engine offers rear access to the clutch and provides more uniform oil cooling, better airflow, and better lubrication, all of which combine to increase the durability and performance life of the engine.
High-Temperature Clutch Cut-Out
The high-temperature clutch cut-out keeps tabs on the engine temperature gauge, automatically shutting off the PTO in the rare event it overheats. This is a particularly useful safeguard in multi-operator environments or dry, dusty conditions. Only available on the 400D.
SmartFrame
A flexing 3-piece SmartFrame™ construction limits vibrations, providing a smooth, shock-dampening ride.
Low Center Of Gravity
400 Series mowers have a single-fill fuel tank mounted beneath the seat, lowering the center of gravity and allowing the machine more traction and stability.
Premier Suspension Seat
The premier suspension seat is fully adjustable, iso-mounted to reduce vibrations, and covered in breathable Cordura® fabric. The seat adjusts to the operator's weight and can be moved fore and aft. The backrest tilts, the armrests fold, and the lumbar support can be adjusted as necessary.
MARBAIN® Cutting Blades
MARBAIN® cutting blades are 1/4-inch thick and are through-hardened to hold their edge longer, delivering a better cut and twice the life of aftermarket blades.
Hydraulic Height Adjustment
Hydraulic height adjustment allows operators to raise and lower the cutting height at infinitely variable settings with a toggle switch control.
Ultimate Operator Station
The Grasshopper Ultimate Operator Station™ is centered around a deep-cushioned seat featuring coil-spring suspension and padded lumbar support. The seat is iso-mounted to reduce vibration and covered in cool, comfortable Cordura® fabric that won't tear or crack with extended use. It also features easy-to-reach operational controls, including the throttle, ignition, and push/pull PTO switch. Plus, QuikAjust Tilt™ dual levers with a 9-inch adjustment range allows for a more custom fit and will automatically return to neutral from either forward or reverse.
Steel Build
A robotically welded, high-grade US steel frame and formed steel I-beam reinforcement, combined with the all-steel DuraMax deck, prove that we put metal where it matters—everywhere.
Design-Matched Transmission
A rugged, design-matched 21-cc G3 hydrostatic transmission with CoolFan™ pump cooling system, 7-micron absolute filter, and wheel motors partner to create a fully hydraulic system for responsive steering and less maintenance.
ROPS
All 400 Series mowers come standard with a low-profile Roll Over Protection System (ROPS) and adjustable seatbelt for safe operation.
Hydraulically Dampened Steering Levers
The hydraulically dampened steering levers deliver a smooth, responsive ride and return to neutral when released from both forward and reverse.
QuikAjust Adjustable Levers
QuikAjust™ steering levers offer a 9-inch range of adjustment for a more custom, comfortable operator experience. No tools needed.
Reduced Maintenance
400 Series mowers have only five easy-to-access lubrication points. Additionally, the belts are self-tensioning, helping to cut down on maintenance time by 95%.
Superior Warranty
Commercial Use: 3-year unlimited hours; limited warranty: First two years covering parts and labor; third year covering parts only. Residential Use: 4-year or 800-hour (whichever comes first); limited warranty covering parts and labor.
