To elaborate our knowledge database of the grasshopper mowers first we need to acquaint with the company itself.

This company has been one of the famous manufacturers of the lawn mowers and it was included in one of the first manufacturers who had introduced dual swing-out levers for a zero-turn mower.

This mower was powered from diesel so it was an efficient machine. It was famous for its power and longer engine life.

In a front mount mower a cutting deck is inserted forward of the engine and it consists of a three-four wheeled unit.

This type of deck helps to reach easily under the shrubs, bushes and fences and cut off the grass.

These types of mowers can also be employed for removing the snow as well.

In mid-mount mowers the difference lies in the position of the deck.

When talked about a front mount mower it was inserted forward of the engine, however in a mid-mount one it is inserted under the seat of its rider.

Such mowers are helpful for wide-open mowing and removing lighter obstacles which comes in their way.
