Grasshopper 72" decks have an extra-deep, 5.5-inch cutting chamber, which moves high volumes of clippings at faster mowing speeds with a wide discharge pattern.
A major innovation in height adjustment, Grasshopper® QuikAdjustHeight Control offers a simple mechanism for quick and accurate cutting height adjustment. Foot pedal operation allows instant latch up for crossing curbs and transporting, with an instant return to the exact pre-set cutting height. Pin placement is up and down where gravity holds pin in place without hairpin and in the operator's natural line of vision. Height settings from 1" to 5" in 1/4-inch increments for precise high-quality mowing.
Clear curbs, trailer ramps, etc. with an optional hydraulic deck lift, which raises the deck vertically 11.5 inches on 72-inch deck. A factory-installed option for liquid-cooled power units; standard on Models 928D and 932.
97 Series features include:
Heavy-duty 72-inch deck option (for 21 hp models and larger) is designed for maximum hourly production in high-acreage mowing applications.
High-discharge dispersal and GrassMax blade system provide optimum cut and clippings distribution. Superior airflow delivers a quality cut and reduces material buildup, so you get beautiful results in both cool and warm season grasses, including Bahia.
Multi-function, full-flotation decks provide the options of side discharge, mulching or a collection system.
Durable Sentry™ spindles with cast ductile steel housing feature high-strength blade shafting to facilitate the use of greaseable, high-impact, high rotational speed bearings with durable seals. A spindle cooling fan reduces heat and material buildup on the top seal, while spindle guards shield the housing and seal lower bearings from grass wrap and dirt ingestion.
