Grasshopper MODEL SO26

Exclusive T-Drive™ Transmission

• Tandem 12cc Parker pumps-in-reservoir transmission is specifically designed for turf-care applications
• In-line CoolFan™ cooling system and integrated, replaceable, high-efficiency fine-particle filter
• Design directs more power to the cutting deck as power-sapping components are eliminated

Command Center Tower

• Provides 4.5 inches of adjustable range and is positioned to provide a panoramic view of the mowing environment and easy reach of all switches, levers and controls, including a deep phone/accessory tray with USB charging ports.
• Features an extra-wide, extra-thick pad with embroidered Grasshopper logo.

LED Work Lights

• LED work lights provide improved visibility in low light situations.

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
• 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

Hydraulically Dampened Control Levers

• Hydraulically dampened control levers that also provide responsive and effortless maneuvering–including one-hand operation–and return to neutral when released from forward and reverse. Adjustable grip bar accommodates larger and smaller reaches of different operators.

Wide Anti-Slip Platform

• Equipped with coil-spring suspension and dampeners, insulating the operator from vibrations, for a smooth, shock-reducing, floating-action ride and minimal bouncing.

Low Center of Gravity

• Every Grasshopper mower is designed with a low center of gravity for optimal traction and stability. The centralized location of the engine, T-Drive™ pump and dual fuel tanks on Stand-On models lowers the overall center of gravity, and a total fuel capacity of 9.25 gal/35.0 L reduces the need for frequent refueling.

EZ Deck lift lever

• Cutting height is effortlessly raised and lowered thanks to the smooth motion of the hand-operated lever.

USB Ports

• Two USB Charging Ports

Compact Wheelbase

• The compact wheelbase provides an incredible power-to-size ratio.
• Easily fit more units on trailers and maneuver through tighter spaces.

Minimal Maintenance

• Five grease points and easy top-side access to belts and filters
• 500-hour transmission fluid change intervals
• Self-tensioning belts minimize cost and labor on routine maintenance

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

B&S Vanguard Engine

• 810 cc (49.4 cu. in.) Vanguard, V-Twin, OHV engine
• Heavy-duty components enhance power and reliability
• Remote-mounted, centrifugal multi-stage air cleaner with advanced debris managements
• Extended maintenance intervals
• Three-year limited commercial engine manufacturer warranty (see dealer for details)
