Vanguard, V-Twin, OHV engine Heavy-duty components enhance power and reliability Remote-mounted, centrifugal multi-stage air cleaner with advanced debris managements Extended maintenance intervals Three-year limited commercial engine manufacturer warranty (see dealer for details) Exclusive T-Drive™ Transmission Tandem 12cc Parker pumps-in-reservoir transmission is specifically designed for turf-care applications In-line CoolFan™ cooling system and integrated, replaceable, high-efficiency fine-particle filter Design directs more power to the cutting deck as power-sapping components are eliminated Heavy-Duty Deck Extra-deep, 5.5-inch deck is fabricated from heavy-gauge formed steel with a reinforced anvil edge Specially designed cutting chambers enhance airflow for better cut quality Deck easily converts from side discharge to optional Down Discharge™ mulching Sentry™ spindles with massive, 8-inch flanges anchored in a 6-bolt pattern, spread the force of impact for greater strength Spindle planes are fabricated from double-layered formed steel laminate and combine with the spindles to form a triple-strength deck to keep blades level and deliver a high-quality cut. Sentry™ spindle guards shield spindle housing and seal lower bearings from fiber wrap and dirt ingestion Command Center Tower Provides 4.5 inches of adjustable range and is positioned to provide a panoramic view of the mowing environment and easy reach of all switches, levers and controls, including a deep phone/accessory tray with USB charging ports. Features an extra-wide, extra-thick pad with embroidered Grasshopper logo. LED Work Lights LED work lights provide improved visibility in low light situations. Hydraulically Dampened Control Levers Hydraulically dampened control levers that also provide responsive and effortless maneuvering–including one-hand operation–and return to neutral when released from forward and reverse. Adjustable grip bar accommodates larger and smaller reaches of different operators. Wide Anti-Slip Platform Equipped with coil-spring suspension and dampeners, insulating the operator from vibrations, for a smooth, shock-reducing, floating-action ride and minimal bouncing. Low Center of Gravity Every Grasshopper mower is designed with a low center of gravity for optimal traction and stability. The centralized location of the engine, T-Drive™ pump and dual fuel tanks on Stand-On models lowers the overall center of gravity, and a total fuel capacity of 9.25 gal/35.0 L reduces the need for frequent refueling. EZ Deck lift lever Cutting height is effortlessly raised and lowered thanks to the smooth motion of the hand-operated lever. USB Ports Two USB Charging Ports Compact Wheelbase The compact wheelbase provides an incredible power-to-size ratio.Easily fit more units on trailers and maneuver through tighter spaces. Minimal Maintenance Five grease points and easy top-side access to belts and filters 500-hour transmission fluid change intervals Self-tensioning belts minimize cost and labor on routine maintenance Rugged Construction Robotically-welded steel construction for long-lasting durability Centered-bearing design provides greater load-bearing capacity to handle the weight of operator, fuel and high-capacity collector with reserve strength for curb shocks and weight shifts Tough-as-nails powder-coated finish is fusion-bonded for chip and rust resistance Specifications ENGINE Type/Horsepower/Cylinders B&S Vanguard V-Twin Displacement 49.4 cu. in.
