Grasshopper introduces 2009 MaxTorque™ diesel models



MOUNDRIDGE, Kan. – Clean-running MaxTorque™ diesel units – MidMount™ Models 325D and 430D and FrontMount™ Models 725DT and 930D – are available with 25- or 30-hp engines that are Tier 4i-compliant and B5-ready, with reserve torque you can feel for superior performance in the toughest mowing conditions. MaxTorque™ diesel engines are fuel efficient — save up to 700 gallons of fuel over 1,000 hours of use (compared to similar-sized gasoline units) — and versatile enough to replace two-cycle engine equipment, further decreasing fuel use and labor for increased productivity year-round. Mid-and front-mounted DuraMax® decks up to 72 inches provide superior airflow for even dispersal of clippings and easy conversion from side-discharge to optional mulching or PowerVac™ collection.
