This video explains the two separate options - PowerFold Deck and Hydraulic Lift Deck. These are two different options available from Grasshopper. Both are explained below.
PowerFold is the most common. This option is used to "flip" the deck up for maintenance. This lifts the front of the deck only giving operators the ability to easily reach the bottom side of the deck. This option is controlled by an electric actuator. This actuator is also used to set the mowing height.
Hydraulic Deck Lift - This is the option of adding a button in the right hand steering lever to raise the deck straight up a few inches. It is located where most operators naturally place their right hand thumb. If used while the deck is engaged it will momentarily stop the blades, raise the deck straight up (not flip) to help maneuver over debris, driveways, curbs, landscaping, etc. Once the button is released the deck drops back down to the set mowing height and the blades are re-engaged.
We sell this feature to many municipalities, including parks who can stop the blades while driving over dirt from a baseball field or wood chips from a playground.
