Grasshopper introduces 72-inch DuraMax® deck equipped with PowerFold® deck lift
MOUNDRIDGE, Kan. Grasshopper announces a new 72-inch DuraMax® FrontMount deck with standard PowerFold® electric height adjustment. The exclusive PowerFold® feature allows operators to lift the massive six-foot deck effortlessly at the touch of a switch, providing greater accessibility to the underside of the deck for simplified maintenance and mulching package installation, as well as space-saving portability and storage. PowerFold® controls both cutting height and deck lift functions with a single switch. Select an infinite range of cutting heights between 1.0 and 4.5 inches or return to a preset height every time. An optional armrest switch allows cutting height adjustment on the fly. The full-featured Model 3472 converts easily from standard side discharge to optional DownDischarge mulching or PowerVac collection for a manicured cut in a wide variety of conditions.
