The Grasshopper 900D mower delivers robust performance across various groundskeeping applications, offering the speed, resilience, and adaptability required to ensure consistent profitability throughout the year.

Kubota MaxTorque™ Diesel Engine: 1300 cc, 3-cylinder, liquid-cooled with a horizontal crankshaft and pressure lubrication for seamless, dependable performance.

The G3 Transmission features a rugged hydrostatic design with auxiliary cooling fans, HydroGear 21cc piston-type pumps, and high-torque Parker wheel motors, all powered by a single serpentine belt for enhanced efficiency. Its CoolFan™ hydro cooling system, equipped with a 7-micron absolute filter, ensures optimal cooling performance. This system provides smooth operation, reduced maintenance needs, and an industry-leading 1,000-hour fluid change interval.

The robust Heavy-Duty Deck, extra-deep 5.5-inch platform constructed from heavy-gauge formed steel with a reinforced anvil edge. Its specially engineered cutting chambers improve airflow for superior cutting performance. The deck seamlessly converts between side discharge, Down Discharge™ mulching, and PowerVac™ collection options. Equipped with Sentry™ spindles featuring massive 8-inch flanges anchored in a durable 6-bolt pattern, it distributes impact forces for enhanced durability. The spindle planes are made from double-layered, 7-gauge plus 10-gauge formed steel laminate, measuring 0.3138 inches thick—25.5% thicker than standard ½-inch steel—and protected by Sentry™ spindle guards that shield the housing and seal lower bearings from fiber wrap and dirt ingress.

The PowerFold® Electric Deck Lift, included as standard on all FrontMount™ DuraMax® decks 48 inches and larger, is the industry’s first electric deck lift for zero-turn mowers, introduced in 2004. It rotates the deck almost 90 degrees for effortless access to the underside for maintenance and mulching setup, while also offering space-efficient storage and portability. Additionally, it allows height adjustments from 1.0 to 5.0 inches and operates with a single switch for deck lift functions.

The hydraulic lift elevates the front of the deck to navigate over soft or uneven terrain and to clear curbs, trailer ramps, and other obstacles, and it is controlled by a lift switch on the steering lever.

The AntiVibe Power Platform® uniquely separates the engine and T-Drive™ from the operator platform, delivering an unparalleled vibration-free experience.

Low-Maintenance Design with Less Than 10 Grease Points and Convenient Top-Side Access to Belts and Filters. Extended 1,000-Hour Transmission Fluid Change Intervals. Self-Tightening Belts Reduce Costs and Labor for Regular Upkeep. The Filter Minder notifies the operator when airflow is limited in the air canister of dual-element air filters.

The Ultimate Operator Station™: View-Eze™ Console offers intuitive operational controls such as throttle, choke, and an angled View-Eze™ console with an adjustable cup holder, all strategically positioned for optimal visibility and easy access. The QuikAjust Tilt™ Levers, designed for one- or two-handed operation, feature a 9-inch comfort range to accommodate the operator’s reach, with automatic return to neutral from either forward or reverse, providing a less strenuous experience compared to traditional riding mowers with steering wheels.

Experience the Ultimate Operator Station™: a luxurious, deep-cushioned Premium Comfort Seat equipped with coil-spring suspension and padded lumbar support for all-day relaxation. Iso-mounting reduces vibration for a smoother ride, while the padded seat and foldable armrests are upholstered in durable, breathable CoolTemp Cordura® fabric that dissipates heat and resists tearing and cracking over time.

The Vigilant Operator Presence System™ features a standard, discreet Roll-over Protection Structure (ROPS) with an adjustable seatbelt, along with dampened steering levers that smoothly return to neutral from forward and reverse. Additionally, interlock switches automatically shut off the engine if the operator leaves the seat while the PTO is engaged or the levers are in drive, ensuring safe operation.

Wide stance single-fork tail wheels enhance flotation and stability for a more comfortable ride. Quickly add or remove implements with the tool-free QuikConverter™ Implement System, allowing you to equip your out-front mower with various tools such as turf cleanup, renovation, and snow removal attachments to maximize year-round productivity. LED work lights improve visibility in low-light conditions, while the High Temperature Clutch Cut-Out automatically disengages the PTO when engine temperature gets too high, protecting the engine from damage.

Engineered for Durability: Crafted with premium steel, featuring robotic welding and an L-shaped reinforcement frame to ensure longevity. Its well-balanced design enhances payload capacity, accommodating the operator, fuel, and large collection system while effectively absorbing shocks and weight fluctuations. The powder-coated finish, fused seamlessly to the metal, provides exceptional resistance to chipping and corrosion.

Warranty: Commercial Use: 3-year unlimited hours; limited warranty covering parts and labor. Residential Use: 4-year or 800-hour (whichever comes first); limited warranty covering parts and labor.
