For amazing mowers, check out Grasshopper www.grasshoppermower.com/

@FiteTheGoodFight 22 күн бұрын

I have the gas version of this mower. Make sure you run the blades after you wash under the deck to wring any water that could be sitting in those plastic spindle cones. If enough water is in there, it will reduce the life of the spindle bearings.

Of all of the mowers I've been on or have even heard of, Grasshopper is the ONLY mower that you don't have to have the parking brake on to start the engine. They have it down to an artform in Moundridge, Ks. The 1st ever zero turns introduced in 1969, Moridge Manufacturing definitely hit a home run with the Grasshopper brand.

Own 900d 72” with tweels and canopy. Do my own maintenance on mower including: lube, oil change, blade sharpening and deck cleaning. After cleaning use WD 40 every 6-8 hours of mowing. Previous mower was Hustler SuperZ hyperdrive 72”. Great mower but not as easy to service. 900d is not only the best mower I have ever owned but at 73 yo my last mower! Way expensive up front but hopefully the sunk cost downstream will provide value. BTW, great video!

@TKCL 5 ай бұрын

Agree with you that it's the last mower most will own. A lot of people don't see the value you do, higher initial up front cost. But the cost gets you an extremely well built machine that should outlast many others. Diesel, premium hydraulics and thick well constructed metal everywhere screams longevity.

I would have loved to have one of those to mow the pasture at my old place! Andrew, you know it's only fair that Tiffany gets to use the mower more than you, since you have practically laid claim to HER tractor LMAO.

Definitely my favorite mower when I worked at the cemetery! We had a 430D mid mount as well....62" I think. The front mount rode so smooth compared to the mid mount, plus the added trimming ability of the deck under trees etc. We also had a Buffalo turbine blower for it and an aeravator. Loved that mower!

I wish I would have looked at Grasshopper when I bought my Bad Boy a couple weeks ago. I used a friend's Grasshopper a few times before and the front mounted deck is so much easier to get in tight around trees and stuff than the mid mount is. I didn't think there would be much of a difference, but there's something different about the weight on a rear caster versus front casters that change how the machine works. I won't lie though I'm happy with what I bought and maybe after a couple more times I'll figure out a trick or two to make up for the differences.

Very nice mower! Go buy you some of the gallon jugs of WD-40 and a plastic spray bottle and after washing off the deck give it a good spritz with the WD-40. My grandfather did that to his mower religiously after each use and 20 years later it looked practically brand new.

@darrell3368 9 ай бұрын

You need to run the deck after you wash it so the bearings want rust and the pulleys to it don’t take about two or three minutes a lot of people don’t run it after and they will rust I know we replace a lot off them at Hoyts in Thomasville
