Scott S Sweetwater, TN Just wanted to let you know of my good experience with one of your reps and a dealer. Your area representative directed me to the dealer in Harriman, TN at the farmer's co-op for some repair and I want to let you know that they did a great job. This is my second grasshopper mower of which the first one lasted 11 years without any problems and I've only had this one issue with this mower. I look forward to buying more in the future and telling others about your product. Keep up the good work! Jim B Perkiomenville, PA As I was finishing up the grass cutting and leaf cleanup season, I was reminded just how much easier, greener and safer my Grasshopper 722D with a 61” combo deck makes these tasks. It is a green machine. It mows my lawn in 1/3 the time it would take with my previous mower, saving time and fuel. It mulches grass clippings into small pieces allowing them to decompose into free fertilizer. It mulches leaves into such small pieces there is nothing left, eliminating any raking, collection or burning – saving time, my back and the atmosphere (and again, free fertilizer). I also cut about 3 acres at the lodge in town once a week. I use the mower deck to mulch, and it doesn’t discharge anything out the side, not even an occasional rock or stick. This alone makes Grasshopper the safest mower I have ever used, especially when mowing in town around people, cars and houses. I wouldn’t dream of mowing any other way. If that weren’t enough, when fall clean up is done, I remove the mower deck and attach the snowthrower in preparation for our Pennsylvania snowstorms. I really think this information should get out to prospective customers when they are in the market for a new mower or should I say when they are in the market for a safe, hard-working, easy-to-operate green machine. As far as I’m concerned, good, dedicated people and a great product are what Grasshopper is all about. Keep up the good work and by all means get the word out. Alexa J Xenia, OH I love my Grasshopper 722D because it took my mowing needs from 8 hours to 3 hours and that is amazing. William M Lincoln, NE We purchased our first Grasshopper mower last spring after looking at lots of different brands of mowers. We live on an acreage and needed an easy efficient way to mow our 5 acres. My wife, Jeanette, loves the ease and comfort of the Grasshopper so much now that I almost never get a turn to mow now. The dealer from whom we bought the Grasshopper told us that this is the last mower we will ever need to buy, and we are convinced he is right. Allen A Winfield, MO My Grasshopper has reduced my mowing time by about 50%. I had the mulching kit installed and now there's no more raking. I'm not tired from all the steering action of my old mower. I actually look forward to the next time the lawn needs mowed. Robert G Pennsville, NJ I use to cut my 8 acre lawn with a medium size tractor with a 6' finish deck mower on back and it took me about 3 hours to complete, now that I have a Grasshopper 722D mower I now cut my grass in 1-1/2 hours, what a machine, I love it! Eric S Mountain Home, AR As local firefighter, I pride myself in providing for my family. My wife and I were blessed with identical twin boys in January of 2007. I took on an additional challenge of a lawn service to provide an additional income for our new little family. Though I give every third 24 hour shift to the Fire Department and most days in between to mowing, I still find time for my family. Not only is EVERY fire truck daddy's fire truck but EVERY lawn mower is daddy's as well. Anytime I feel stressed or when my work load is heavy, all I have to do is think of the sweet smiles that will meet me when I get home! Thanks Grasshopper! John S Manchester, PA Having owned a Grasshopper mower for less than a year, I was looking forward to using the snowthrower attachment I had purchased. I even put it on at the beginning of our winter season and waited. Finally, enough snow came that I could go out and play. What fun!!! Kenny M Liberty, MO We've been proud Grasshopper owners for the past eleven years, having had three of your mowers. Each time, we traded up, getting a bigger and better engine, larger mower deck and features that make the job of cleaning the mower easier! And, each time, we never considered another brand, only a Grasshopper. My favorite story has got to be when we bought this type mower for the first time. I had researched, shopped and decided that this would be the best value for us. My wife was unsure of her ability to handle the mower and had said, before signing on the dotted line, "You can buy a Grasshopper, but could we get one with a steering wheel?" I assured her that she'd catch on in no time at all, just takes a little practice. And, sure enough, the first day, within the first fifteen minutes, she was sold on it! And has been ever since! Jennifer S Janesville, WI For me and my dog, Scout, the best part of summer is all about riding our Grasshopper. There's plenty of lawn to mow on our farm. The tough part is making sure that I get to the seat before Scout does. Scout has been riding along with me since he was just a puppy. As soon as he hears the mower start up, he comes running and jumps right on. As Scout got bigger, we decided it was best for him to be a spectator. Although, he still gets the occasional ride but always with the blade off; because SAFETY COMES FIRST! Victor G Sheridan, IL I bought my Grasshopper in the summer of 2008. Instead of spending 4 hours mowing my 2 acres, it now takes my about an hour, which gives me more time to spend with my daughter. She also loves to take rides on the grasshopper with me and one day I will teach her how to use it so she can see why this was a much needed purchase! James W Johnston, SC I live on a tree farm and I mow approximately 9 acres of grass every 10 days. My yard proper is 3 1/2 acres alone. Pond frontage adds another 3 1/2 acres then there is the 1200 X 90 foot wide driveway. When I'm through with that, I mow trails and property perimeters. Initially, I used a big John Deere tractor with a bush hog. I discovered that my 928D 72" FrontMount Grasshopper would run circles around the John Deere. This is my second Grasshopper and one would have to fight me to get rid of it. It is so simple to operate that my 11 year old granddaughter can run it. If you want a versatile mower that is built like a tank and runs trouble free, you just can't beat a Grasshopper. Grasshopper makes mowers for any size job. My enormous job is made easy (and fun) with my pride and joy 928D. Stacie G Sweet Springs, MO This is my first Grasshopper mower and it's amazing! I find myself keeping a close eye on the lawn making sure I don't miss an opportunity to give it a clean cut with my Grasshopper. My husband said that if I would let him buy a new Grasshopper that he would agree to do all of the trimming. I think its safe to say I got the better end of the deal on that one! Thanks Grasshopper! Scott R Otwell, IN My Grasshopper really cuts down the mowing time on our 4.5 acre yard, which creates more family time for us. The machine (Grasshopper 223) is made extremely durable, comfortable, safe and we plan on using it for years to come. Thank you for making a quality product. Willie N Live Oak, FL Before I purchased my Grasshopper, cutting grass was a job! The thought of it was humiliating, but now that I have a Grasshopper, cutting grass is nothing but joy. Sometimes, I tell myself, "This sure beats working." Smooth cut, while cutting my work time down significantly. Kirk N Lima, OH We just love our Grasshopper 620 and boy can it pick up every last leaf in the fall and cuts beautifully all summer long! Being a diehard John Deere man because I have used them on our farm my entire life, I was somewhat skeptical about purchasing a Grasshopper. But after seeing how much my in-laws loved their Grasshopper we decided on a Grasshopper and couldn't be happier. Our yard has around 50 oak trees and zipping around those obstacles is a breeze. Our son loves the Grasshopper too. We pass people in the car mowing their lawn and he shouts "HOPPER!" with tons of enthusiasm. It's a great mower and I would recommend to anyone who wants to save time to spend it with the family and have a beautiful lawn. I can't wait until the day I can teach our son and daughter how to drive this mower, just like my Dad did for me. Charles M Mebane, NC I purchased my Grasshopper 722DT last year to save time mowing the 63 acres of trees. It's cut hours off the time it previously took with a rotary cutter and weed eater. This is my first Grasshopper and only mower I've ever had of this size but it's been a real pleasure not having to do so much manual labor to get close up to everything. Dennis D Goshen, IN My dad bought his first Grasshopper in 1984. Since then, he and I have owned six different models. The current model, a 620T with PowerVac and 52" PowerFold mower deck is used to mow several acres of lawn and orchard on our 4-generation family farm near Wakarusa, IN. There are many anecdotes about the pleasure of owning Grasshoppers over the past 25 years, but the best one is that mowing changes from a job that someone "has" to do, to a job that someone "gets" to do. The chore of mowing becomes a privilege. John P Wesson, MS I own a lawn care company. I have owned several different brands of mowers, until I owned a Grasshopper 223 Mower. Within the last 3 years, I have seen this mower tackle all grass heights and never had any problems. Grasshopper mowers are almost maintenance-free, most mowers have 20-30 grease points Grasshoppers only have 5, less parts to worry about being broken. This is the best mower on the market. Robert W Blair, IN I've always taken pride in my lawn. However, in an automobile accident in 1989 I became a paraplegic confined to a wheelchair. I was unable to accomplish many daily tasks I had taken for granted. Until recently, I relied on family for landscaping and mowing my lawn. In 1997, we bought our first Grasshopper and my family did the mowing. When our children left home, my wife told me to figure out how to get on the Grasshopper. A friend and I devised a hoist which allowed me to get on my mower with very little assistance that even my grandchildren can provide. You can find me on my Grasshopper at least two days a week, weather permitting! Thanks to the design of the Grasshopper, I am again able to enjoy and take pride in my contribution in the care of my property. Quinn C Delta, OH My mowing time has been cut in half, so instead of spending the whole day working we have more time to spend doing the things that we love... swinging, hide-and-seek, or fetch! Mowing the lawn has become a family affair, and the memories of us riding our Grasshopper together will be ones that my daughter, dog, and I will treasure forever! Irene H Bradgate, IA To say that the 61 inch deck, 722D Grasshopper was an asset to my farm would be an understatement. Cutting the mowing time in half, and mowing a little more than 8 acres, this has given me more time to spend with friends and family. I purchased the PowerFold deck, equipped to stand up. I am in my 80s, and this is more than adequate in helping me keep this free from debris. When comparison shopping I discovered the Grasshopper superior over the Kubota, John Deere and Cub Cadet. This Grasshopper had the features that I was most interested in, the others were offered as an option. The quality of the Grasshopper is as distinctive as it is different, outstanding! Simply stated with the DuraMax deck out front of you, you can be are assured to have a beautiful lawn behind you. Donivan M McCurtain, OK I asked the local dealer if I could take a Grasshopper home, and if it could mow my hill, I'd buy it. I bought it. This mower has no problem with the hill in front of my house. I mow a 1/8 mile of roadway, a pond dam and about 3 acres with this mower. I can do all of this in about 2 hours and rarely need to use the weed eater. You've made an older man happy!!!! I wore out a discount mower in less than three years. I think this mower will outlast me. Thanks for building a durable, dependable and fun mower. Dean M Hondo, TX Our city-raised daughter-in-law knew what a lawnmower was but had never touched one! However, when she saw the Grasshopper mower in action on our farm, she wanted to learn to operate it. Mowing seemed easy and fun and she was correct! Now, she is often on the Grasshopper keeping the acreage perfectly mowed in record time and loving every minute of it! Robert H Columbia City, IN We tried 3 other manufacturers to mow our 3-1/3 acre lawn. None of them performed anywhere near as well as the Grasshopper. It's worth every penny. It mulches and manicures the lawn. If this mower ever wears out -- and that's doubtful -- it will be replaced with another Grasshopper. Andrew D Calhoun, GA My brother and I own a landscape business. We both attend college and run our business. We bought the company in 2005 when I was a senior in high school and my brother was a freshman. We have grown the company to $350,000 in sales for last year. This accomplishment is what I am most proud of, but the second thing is that I just got married in June, and my groom’s cake was a replica of my mower with “Just Married” mowed into my cake. We always purchase Grasshoppers from S&W, or dealer in Calhoun, GA. We currently own 3 Grasshoppers. Mark S Rutherfordton, NC My Grasshopper is such a great addition to my family! When I was a little boy I was always amazed at just what the Grasshopper lawnmower would do. As I got older my uncle ran a small lawn care service and he owned 2 Grasshopper mowers. I was able to help my uncle and working with him I really found out that mowing grass was really an enjoyable thing to do on a Grasshopper. Later in life I was able to purchase my own Grasshopper and now people talk more about my yard of 3.5 acres than my log home. Even my dog Sniper loves it when my grass cutting is done. When I am finished and turn the blades off he runs to me and hops on the mower wanting me to pet his head. Thanks, Grasshopper for one incredible mower!! Bill S Purcell, OK My son is in the Air Force and recently got transferred from Georgia to Oklahoma City. He was able to purchase a fore-closed home on a 1-acre lot but the yard had not been mowed but three times in a year and a half and was really grown up. The city was going to have it mowed and put a tax lien on the residence. He was still in Georgia trying to get moved so his mother and I took the Grasshopper and went to work. We noticed the neighbors watching while we mowed and when we finished, one of them had to come over and look at the mower. He was very impressed and stated that he had to have one of these. I know that my old mower (John Deere) would not have done the job. I actually enjoy mowing now, it is very relaxing. Dennis O Locust Grove, OK Before I bought my Grasshopper, I would have to borrow other lawnmowers because I didn't have one of my own. But it seems everytime I would mow my lawn, the mower I borrowed would always break down. So, I finally broke down and bought a Grasshopper for my very own. It has never broke down or caused me any problems. The Grasshopper can manuever around different obstacles in my yard like the clothes line, utility pole, and even around the corral. The deck lifts up with the push of a button so I can clean it or sharpen the blades. The best part is that it only takes me one and a half hours to cut my lawn, where before, it used to take me four to five hours. I have more time now to get other things done. This includes spending time with my family, thanks to my Grasshopper! Mike M Marengo, OH My wife and I bought our Grasshopper in 2007, after moving to a house with a large yard. We knew we were getting a high quality mower, but what amazes us the most, is the amount of time we save. What took us three hours, now only takes us one. Now, the problem between my wife and I, is chosing who gets to mow the yard. Better yet, we our able to use our Grasshopper all year round. Our driveway is 1200 feet long, so to clear snow in the winter we have the snowthower attachment. It works great! We also are able to help my brother and his wife mow their three acre yard. Their house is located on a very steep hill and they have always struggled to get their yard mowed, until we brought over the Grasshopper. They are occaisionally asked what professional landscaping company mows their yard, and we know the answer, it's not a landscaping company, it's the mower that makes it look professional! Thanks for making such great products. Jerry T Peoria, IL WE LOVE OUR GRASSHOPPERS!!! Peoria Rescue Ministries has purchased 12 Grasshoppers in the last 12 years. We are pleased with the performance of the mower. There are about 2 acres of lawn at one of our facilities and 8 at another. Grasshopper mowers work well on the hills we mow and keep our lawns looking great all the time. Other mowers we tried didn't last the year as we mow at least once, and often two times a week. Our goal is to trade one of the mowers each year because there is a good resale value on the used mower. Thank you for producing a product that performs well and holds its value. Danny W Conway, AR After starting my lawn business this year, I found it rather difficult as a one-man operation to remove and replace the bagging system on my "other" commercial mower. With recent back problems, I knew I needed a better option. With a multitude of praises about Grasshopper from others in the industry, it was a no brainer. Grasshopper's PowerVac system is quick and easy to remove and replace without an extra hand. A great ride and cut quality certainly doesn't hurt either. Now, all I need is a set of headlights because there's not enough light in the day to satisfy my Grasshopper cravings! Art H Spencer, IA I purchased my first Grasshopper mower in 1992, it was at least 10 yrs old. I then traded in 1992 for a 720 that was 2 yrs old. I then purchased my 723K series last spring of 2008. Within a week my older, but good mower was resold. I live on a farm & work out full time. My Grasshopper has cut my mowing time in half or better of the 2.5 acres, plus driveways & around the other buildings. It's so nice. My wife started mowing & harldly lets me on it! After I retire from my factory job - and between farming - I hope to sell Grasshoppers at the local dealer. And I really like the flip up deck. Ron J Owensville, IN Our company has been using Grasshopper mowers since 1997. We started out with two units and have grown to seven. I truly believe Grasshopper has the best machine available. They are efficient, virtually trouble free, and provide the best cutting look of any unit on the market. Competitors are constantly asking us to demo their mower. We always accept the challenge, but have never purchased another brand. Doug K Watertown, SD My Grasshopper is one mean machine. It mows circles around my other mower. I can cut my yard in a quarter of the time that it used to take. It is also the smoothest, most comfortable riding mower I have ever owned. I would even say it is more fun to mow my yard than to sit in my lazy boy and watch the "big game". I love my Grasshopper! Don M Hilliard, OH After 37 years of service, I am retiring from military service. For my retirement, I purchased a house with more land and a Grasshopper 722DT with a mower deck and a snowthrower to take care if it year round. When I first got on the mower, I said, "It drives like a tank!!" and I've been thrilled with it ever since. When I realized I needed a mower of this size, my son-in-law recommended the Grasshopper brand and now I have my first Grasshopper as of November 2008. Michael S Johnson Lake, NE We started out as a small company and have just continued to grow and get better thanks to our Grasshoppers and a lot of hard work. This is our 16th year in business and have been using Grasshoppers the last 11 years and will never switch again. We love our Grasshoppers. We have had 11 grasshoppers and currently own and run 6: 3 model 120's, 1 model 227 and 2 729's. We do lawn care in one of the few areas that catches grass, and Grasshopper has the largest collection system and best blowers. Thanks, Grasshopper and keep up the good work so we can too. Alicia L Abilene, KS Just wanted you to know that my Grasshopper lawnmower survived 105 mph winds here. My garage and contents were scattered throughout my backyard, but the Grasshopper was still sitting on the slab, all alone! And it's still working perfectly! What a great product! Jonathan A Lake Charles, LA I have a lawn business here in Southwest Louisiana, I have a 227/61 and a 329B/61. I love these mowers, they're so comfortable. I'm 6'5", 400lbs and these machines are the most comfortable mower available. I've tried them all: Scag, Exmark, Gravely, etc. None compare to comfort and quality. I have dealers for these other brands within 10 miles of my house but I drive 45 miles for the BEST! TAN AND BROWN FOR LIFE! Joyce M Maineville, OH Most definitely the greatest mower I have owned. Tony S Columbus Junction, IA Let's put it this way: Some people have pictures of their grandkids in their wallets...I have a picture of my Grasshopper in mine! Thanks for a great product! Mark B Terre Haute, IN I just wanted to let the people at Grasshopper know the 620T unit I purchased last year is an outstanding machine. I've owned Craftsman, Simplicity, and John Deere machines, and none were built as durable, nor as easy to use, as this machine. The cut is great. It turns on a dime, and I've had minimal problems in the year I've owned it. I look forward to many years of use. George W Hawkinsville, GA My father and I purchased a Grasshopper two years ago to make our mowing simpler and quicker. My father was 83 at the time and was spending 3-4 hours on a riding mower just to cut his own yard. At first he was afraid of the Grasshopper but once he finally got on it, he hasn't quit grinning! He is now 85 and he jumps right on and it only takes 1/3 of the time to cut his yard. He says he has cut a LOT of grass in his time and this is the best mower he has ever owned. Clarence P Crete, NE My parents purchased their Grasshopper in April. They have been married and farming together for 62 years now and have always wanted a Grasshopper and we figured they wouldn't purchase one this late in their life but those 2 just keep surprising us!!! It's their new pride and joy. Mom had mowed with their previous riding mower for 40 years (yes the same one....Dad kept it going) so Dad was doubtful if Mom would be able to run something as fancy as this new machine. Boy did she fool him and had it mastered within a few rounds and they just love it! It cut her mowing time in half and it has cut Dad's repairing time completely and he has to show EVERYONE how easy it is to clean. Thank you Grasshopper for making these 2 elderly farmers act like little kids with their new "toy"!! Wayne L Bucyrus, OH I have a friend who bought a Grasshopper mower. He told me how much he liked it and that it cut his mowing time in half. I was a little skeptical at first about the mowing time, but he insisted it was true. After looking over your literature and checking out your web site, I decided to purchase a Grasshopper. My mowing time was cut in half, but I like my new mower so much I can't stand putting it away until I thoroughly clean it. So the time I saved on mowing, I use for cleaning. Barbara C Pilesgrove, NJ I enjoy mowing lawns so much I consider it my leisure time, mowing for my elderly neighbors and a friend from church, about 4 acres in all. Several years ago my husband purchased a zero turn front mount mower for me. But, as it got older it needed fixing. Luckily my husband, Jim, was a top-notch mechanic who could keep it running. In November of 2005 Jim was diagnosed with Lung Cancer. All through the spring while he was going through chemo I kept on mowing. My mower and I made it through the summers of 2005 and 2006 as Jim's cancer was in remission and he kept us going. Unfortunately in early 2007 we found out that the cancer had returned with a vengeance. Jim knew that his time and the mower's was getting shorter, so he wanted to buy me something that would last me a lifetime. We came home with a Grasshopper 722D FrontMount mower. I was a little hesitant at first, but once I got the hang of it there was no stopping me. I lost Jim in November, but I can always hear him talking to me with when I'm riding my mower, telling me to slow down, watch the stumps, check the oil, etc. I'll be forever grateful to him for buying me my Grasshopper. Margie A Manchester, IA I had a patch of rhubarb in my yard, and one day it was gone. I asked my husband what happened and he said "The grasshopper got it". In my mind, I was thinking the grasshopper insects. My husband passed away several years later. One day my son-in-law said, "I have a story to tell you. He said "Remember when Dad said the grasshopper got the rhubarb, it wasn't the insects, it was him on the Grasshopper". My husband knew I would have been furious with him, so he let me believe it was the insects eating the rhubarb, not him on the mower. We have had lots of laughs over the "Rhubarb Grasshopper" incident. Ken W Hagerstown, MD It's an emergency, the caller said. I have been away for six weeks and my mower cannot handle the long grass. Please could you get my lawn back in shape. I completed the customers lawn the next day, it was a challenge, long grass, uneven ground and mostly on a slope but as usual my Grasshopper rose to the occasion and the customer was more than pleased. I was ready to leave when the customer's neighbor approached me and asked if there was a Grasshopper dealer in the area. He said he was so impressed with the results achieved under such conditions. I gave him my dealers name and added "it get's better, Grasshoppers are made right here in the US of A". I smiled as I loaded my 223 on the trailer, a satisfied customer, a prospective buyer and one proud Grasshopper owner. It had been a good day. Clyce M Pearcy, AR Being from Wyoming and 30 miles out of town, I didn't even know there was any such thing as a zero turn mower until I retired and moved to Arkansas. I have have 4 acres to mow and it doesn't take long and I have some rough ground. This is my third Grasshopper and they just keep getting better. I like the front mount mower because I can see exactly where it is, it will flex up or down and gets under bushes without me getting stuck or scratched. This one has a diesel engine which won't bog down even in the heaviest grass even with a sixty inch cut. I also use the power fold electric lift all of the time. I am 73 years young and I can't wait for the grass to grow so I can mow it again. Johnny A Huntingdon, TN We purchased our Grasshopper mower with attractive Grasshopper financing. We are thrilled with our mower and can mow our 8 acre property in less than two hours! After hiring our yard mowed for the last four years, we are proud to be mowing it ourselves. Our Grasshopper mower makes it a fun and easy job. Carolyn C Holton, KS Once upon a time, there was a handsome man named Luke, and a fair maiden named Carolyn, and they were so very much in love. He had a little bitty rental house with a teeny tiny yard, and she had a little bitty rental with a teeny tiny yard, and between them, they kept both yards mowed with a 20 year old 20 inch push mower. After many frustrating months of house hunting, Luke and Carolyn finally found their dream house, which sat on four acres of grass. They quickly had to figure out a way to conquer the yard, so they visited their local Grasshopper dealer. Implement for a solution. Luke found his noble steed in a 729 Grasshopper mower. He surprised Carolyn with a gold name plate for the mower from Grasshopper that says "Specially made for Carolyn C." Two months later, the blissful couple married, and Luke, Carolyn, and their Grasshopper continue to live happily ever after. Arthur D Covinton, LA I have owned my grasshopper for 10 years and just purchased a new one in 2008. It has always been reliable and gets the job done. I have not had to use my weed eater in 10 years, thanks to the Grasshopper. The front end feature of my Grasshopper allows me to cut all over my property and not get too close to snakes. Robert D Appling, GA I was desperate! I just broke my right collar bone and could not operate my old tractor with a finishing mower, it took both strong hands and feet to do the task. I read an ad in the paper about the Grasshopper mower and its ease of use and the cutting speed it could produce and decided to give it a try. Went to the local dealer and he let me take 'er home and try 'er out (after a short schoolin') and was amazed I could run 'er with one hand after a little practice. Sold! Shirley D Wellsville, MO In 1993, we got our first Grasshopper. It is a 725 gas mower with a 61 inch deck and is still being used on our farm. We purchased a new 722D in 2007 to help with the mowing since we mow four farmsteads. It has the powerfold deck which helps with the cleaning of the machine. I taught my grandaughter to mow with the 722D and she was able to manuever it the first time. The Grasshopper cuts my mowing time in half or less but you do tend to mow more since it is so fast!! Both mowers are economical to run, easy to handle and do a good job mulching the grass so it looks nice. We like our Grasshoppers!! Michael R Spring Valley, OH Remnants of hurricane Ike hit the Ohio Valley with winds of up to 70 miles per hour. Power lines and numerous trees were knocked down. We were without power and water for 6 days. Our Grasshopper mower never let us down. I was able to mow the grass and pull tree limbs out of the way with our mower. Our Grasshopper has been the best investment that we have made in equipment for our 5 acres. It used to take me about 8 hours to mow our acerage, but since I purchased my mower, the job is done in 2 hours giving me more time to spend with my family. My son even offers to mow now that we have our Grasshopper! Terrie T Waterman, IL Mowing with our third Grasshopper continues to be fun. Even my wife enjoys mowing! Keeping our vineyard and farm yard well manicured has always been a challenge. Our Grasshopper's heavy duty construction, easy maintenance and dependability have made the job easy. The best MOWment is when the mowing is done. Nothing is better than having the mower cleaned and ready to return to the shop. I feel relaxed and ready for a glass of our wine! Robert W Guin, AL I mow thirty-two yards and one cemetery with my Grasshopper mower. I have 960 hours on my Grasshopper and it is two years old. I have only had to replace one deck belt and one hydraulic belt since I have bought it. The mower is dependable and I can mow my yards in one half the time of a conventional mower. Before this mower I had a 618 Grasshopper and I had 3600 hours on it. I still have it in my shop. My wife and I are both retired and I mow yards to help make our living. I have been mowing eleven years with my Grasshoppers, since I retired. We used Grasshoppers where I worked and I knew I had to have one for my part-time job of mowing. I love to mow grass and the Grasshopper makes it more enjoyable. Butch R San Antonio, TX My greatest mowing moment was when I bought a Grasshopper and taught my wife how to use it. It is now her mower, so I have lots of time for fishing and hunting. Thanks Grasshopper for having such a wonderful product. Vernon P Caddo Mills, TX I mow about 6 acres and it took me 12 to 13 hours to mow with three other mowers. I purchased a 22 hp diesel 61 inch cut midmount and it cut my mowing time to 3 1/2 hours. This machine is a delight and mows like a dream. I love it so much I have bought three new ones. You can't wear them out. An excellent product. Thank you Grasshopper! Joanne B Meade, KS My husband and I live in a small community in western Kansas and have several acres that need mowing. We have used Grasshopper mowers for thirty years and consistently buy two new mowers every couple of years. The Grasshopper mowers are simple to operate and certainly help keep our acreage well groomed. My favorite part of the mower is adjusting the deck for different heights as I travel over rough or smooth terrain and it allows me to work alongside my husband as we use our Grasshoppers to tackle big jobs TOGETHER. These mowers are great and we consider them necessary tools in our lives. Jean B Columbia Station, OH Our Grasshopper is fabulous not only for mowing the lawn on our farm but for weed control in the pasture. We enjoy our Grasshopper mower a great deal. My mowing time for the yard with the Grasshopper is only 30 minutes. I used to spend 3 hours mowing. In this rural neighborhood with 5 acre lawns our neighbors have duly taken note and come to see our big beautiful mower and to hear it purr. Kevin T Morrow, OH Mowing used to be something we dreaded to do, but since we have our Grasshopper everyone wants to help out. (My wife, daughter and son all take turns.) Thanks for a great product! Dennis P Live Oak, FL My Grsshopper is like my sailboat - can't wait to use it. Timothy R Glasgow, KY I like to use my Grasshopper 722D in Spring, Summer, Winter and Fall. The Grasshopper is one of the best mowers I have used. I like to mow over leaves and I like to use it to shovel snow and of course, mow grass. Brandon J Joplin, MO I run my own lawn and landscaping business in Joplin, MO. I was introduced to my future wife, Erin, by one of my employees while mowing a local business. It didn't take her long to realize that lawncare was a big part of my and my family's life (my dad and cousin also mow and landscape for a living). So, when we married on October 20, 2007 she thought it would be appropriate for us to have our picture taken on my 928D. Had I known, I would have washed and waxed it the night before! Bruce L Flushing, MI Just wanted to share with the world how happy I'm with your Grasshopper equipment. I pick up up fall leaves leaving it clean & well manicured. I used to spend 7 hours & 5 gallons of gas mowing with a Yard Tactor. With my grasshopper 722D I've reduced to only 3.5 hours & 2-3 gallons of diesel. And your leave/grass collection system is unbelievable, your system picked up over 800 bushels of falling leaves last year alone. I'm looking to purchase a snowthrower in the future to remove Michigan large snow falls. Thanks for such a great product. Brian B Topeka, KS There is nothing more satisfying than seeing what you can do with a Grasshopper. Perfect stripes made by my 2003 Model 220. Joe B Fort Smith, AR My daughter mows with our Grasshopper all the time, so it shows that you don't have to be a big burly man to manuver the mower, and that the equipment holds up and goes strong, even when it has a little age on it. I have two Grasshoppers at present and plan to buy a third next season. One mower has over 1200 hours on the engine and has had preventive maintenance, but never been in for repair. I love my Grasshopper mower and the time it saves my crew each and every day. As they say, ""time is money"", and whether you're mowing 15 yards a day or just at your own home, it's nice to know the job's done right the first time. Tyler K Medford, OK We have had a very wet mowing season in Oklahoma this year and the mowing at our local golf course was getting out of hand for just one Grasshopper. So we rounded up a few people and three other Grasshoppers, and we had the entire golf course mowed in about four and a half hours. Chris S Andale, KS We use our Grasshopper to mow approx. 3.5 acres of our property and with the 60" blade attached, clears 330' of driveway during the winter. I cannot say enough good things about this machine. It is one of the few pieces of machinery that I have owned that I can truly say I am 100% satisfied. With almost 500 hrs on the clock the only work I have performed on it is normal maintenance. Keep up the good work. Richard B Denham Springs, LA I mow our 10.5 acre yard once a week with a 722D2 PowerFold. Unit was a trade-in and has a little over 200 hours on it. We have a 2-acre pond that we mow around also. This isn't a highly manicured lawn in town! This is just our little place in the country. Chelsea O Greenwood, AR I enjoy mowing with my parents' Grasshopper because it's fun and it helps my dad out. He and my mom work long, hard hours five to six days a week. We live on three acres and using the Grasshopper makes mowing much easier and fun! I am a dental hygienist and I only work three days a week. This gives me extra time to mow the yard! James S Vine Grove, KY My wife and I have owned and run Grasshoppers for the past ten years. We mow around 20 acres of cemeteries and also several commercial properties. We find Grasshoppers are very dependable and we are able to maneuver them around and between tombstones therefore saving a lot of weed eating. We also mow two acres of our own lawn. I am 73 and my wife is 69 and we do all of the work ourselves. We are completely sold on our Grasshoppers! Michelle P Pittsburg, KS Great mower. Cuts out enough time for family fun. Mowed 6 acreas in under 2 hours. Kenny L Clarksville, TX Our yard is solid Bermuda grass (no weeds). We mow ours, and our neighbor's, twice a week. That is three acres, each time. I bought my Grasshopper new in 2000. Have not had a minute's trouble with it, and don't expect to. It is the most well made piece of equipment I've ever sat on. I made a bracket to put my Garmin GPS on it when I'm spraying, so I can tell exactly what speed I'm traveling, for more accuracy. I can't describe how happy I am with this mower.
