Grasshopper 400D 1.3L 72" Deck

Kubota Diesel Engine

Heavy-duty Deck

• Extra-deep, 5.5-inch deck is fabricated from heavy-gauge formed steel with a reinforced anvil edge

• Specially designed cutting chambers enhance airflow for better cut quality

• Deck easily converts from side discharge to optional Down Discharge™ mulching or PowerVac™ collection

• Sentry™ spindles with massive, 8-inch flanges anchored in a 6-bolt pattern, spread the force of impact for greater strength

• Spindle planes are fabricated from double-layered formed steel laminate and combine with the spindles to form a triple-strength deck to keep blades level and deliver a high-quality cut.

• Sentry™ spindle guards shield spindle housing and seal lower bearings from fiber wrap and dirt ingestion

Warranty

• Commercial Use: 3-year unlimited hours; limited warranty covering parts and labor.

• Residential Use: 4-year or 800-hour (whichever comes first); limited warranty covering parts and labor.

Hydraulic Height Adjustment

Hydraulic Height Adjustment for MidMount DuraMax™ decks 61-inches and larger allows operators to raise and lower cutting height at infinitely variable settings with toggle switch control. Standard on 400 Series models.

Rugged Construction

• Robotically-welded steel construction for long-lasting durability

• Centered-bearing design provides greater load-bearing capacity to handle the weight of operator, fuel and high-capacity collector with reserve strength for curb shocks and weight shifts

• Tough-as-nails powder-coated finish is fusion-bonded for chip and rust resistance

Reduced Maintenance

• Only two Access-Eze™ lubrication points cut maintenance time up to 95%

• Self-tensioning belts minimize cost and labor on routine maintenance

Minimal Maintenance

• Fewer than 10 grease points and easy top-side access to belts and filters

• 1,000-hour transmission fluid change intervals

• Self-tensioning belts minimize cost and labor on routine maintenance

Design - Matched G2 Transmission

• Rugged G2 transmission with auxiliary cooling fans, HydroGear variable displacement 21 cc piston-type pumps and high-torque Parker wheel motors
• CoolFan™ hydro cooling system with 7-micron absolute filter for cooling efficiency
• Delivers smooth response and requires less maintenance, with industry-leading 1,000-hour fluid change interval

High Temperature Clutch Cut Out

Equipped with a High Temperature Clutch Cut-Out that automatically disengages the PTO if engine temperature reaches a certain point to prevent engine damage

Ultimate Operator Station

ComfortZone™ seat eliminates jostles and jolts with coil-spring suspension and a fully padded, high-back seat, padded armrests and variable density foam cushion. Iso-mounting smooths the ride, erases fatigue and keeps the operator comfortably in control at faster mowing speeds

Operational controls including throttle, choke and angled View-Eze™ console and adjustable cup holder are well positioned for visibility and ease of reach

One- or two-handed operation with ComfortReach™ adjustable Hydra-Smooth™ dual levers that automatically return to neutral from either forward or reverse position.

Vigilant Operator Presence System

• Standard, low profile Roll-over Protection System (ROPS) structure with an adjustable seatbelt
• Dampened steering levers that return to neutral from forward and reverse
• Interlock switches that shut down the engine when the operator leaves the seat while PTO is engaged or levers are in drive position
