Efficiency, comfort, and easy maintenance are what draws commercial landscapers to a Grasshopper Zero turn mower. Zero turn Grasshoppers are known for maneuverability; this aspect of its design drastically cuts down on the need to go back over parts of the landscaping to re-cut and trim. The Grasshopper Zero turn design allows the business part of the mower to be moved and angled, avoiding the need to swing far out to make turns around edges, borders, and landscape elements. Its dual lever, swing-out steering control design is easy to operate and has been shown to reduce driver fatigue to 1/5 the effort needed with a conventional riding mower, contributing even more to the efficiency of these durable machines.
The steering control design is only one part of the comfort of Zero Turn Grasshoppers. The seat position is adjustable as are the armrests. Seat suspension is adjustable to operator weight and lumbar support is provided for a more comfortable ride. In addition, safety features add peace-of-mind to the enjoyment of using the Grasshopper Zero Turn mower. The seat is set for a low center of gravity and has an adjustable seatbelt; the steering levers return to neutral; and a system of interlock switches turn off the engine when the driver leaves the seat with the levers in drive position.
A front mount Grasshopper mower is ideal for mowing complicated areas. A low profile front deck makes it simple to mow under such obstacles as shrubs and porches. There are several cutting width options to suit landscaping needs, from wide open acreage to varied, narrower sections. The horizontal crankshaft engine design supports superior airflow to improve cuttings dispersal as well as engine power efficiency while providing a smooth, even cut. Zero turn Grasshoppers offer a line of implements for the mower to ensure meeting whatever landscaping needs arise, regardless of the season. The Front mount Grasshopper, for example, supports a PowerVac, a snow thrower, a sprayer, and more.
The Front mount Grasshopper also offers operator-friendly maintenance with its easy access to belts and filters, fewer grease points, and a foldup deck to access the underside. Different models offer different access options and all are easy to get to, making these Grasshopper Zero turn mowers the choice for spending more time on the job and less on maintenance.
