Grasshopper's exclusive PowerFold® (patent pending)
for 48-, 52-, 61- and 72-inch (122-, 132-, 155- and 183-cm)
DuraMax® decks combine the ease of electric height
adjustment with effortless deck lifting. Available as a factory-
or dealer-installed option on 48-, 52- and 61-inch decks - PowerFold®
is standard on 72-inch decks (34 Series) - the dual-purpose
design of PowerFold® controls both cutting height
and deck lift functions with a single switch. An optional armrest
switch allows cutting height adjustment on the fly without leaving
the operator's seat.
Activating the switch effortlessly rotates the deck upright, simplifying underside access for blade replacement or sharpening, mulching kit installation or removal, or deck cleaning, while creating a shorter overall length for easy transport or storage. The same switch lets the operator select an infinite range of cutting heights between 1 and 4.5 inches without having to leave the operator's seat.
