What are other benefits/advantages of contracting with Grasshopper?
Harsh elements and punishing conditions can take their toll on any mower. That’s why we build our zero-turn mowers for strength and durability, while minimizing weight for superior agility and a light footprint. We start with a precision, robotically welded, high-grade steel tubular exoSkeletal™ frame with I-beam reinforcement, then add durable, design-matched components that will ensure years of rugged use. Our attention to detail even extends to a fusion-bonded, chip- and rust-resistant powder-coat finish that will keep your Grasshopper mower looking like new for years to come.
