<font color=red>ON THE ROAD:</font> Grasshopper’s New Zero-Turn Features Direct Power to Wheels

Moundridge, Kan-based Grasshopper introduced its new 620T model zero-turn, featuring the company's Tandem T2 drive transmission, at the International Lawn, Garden & Power Equipment Expo at Louisville’s Kentucky Exposition Center.

The system, which is patent-pending and exclusive to Grasshopper, features a pumps-in-reservoir design that directs power straight to the wheels. The design eliminates the use of belts, decreases the number of service points, and decreases vibration, the company says.

“This is a major development in zero-turn evolution,” says Ray Garvey, Grasshopper marketing coordinator. “For the end-user, you’re eliminating all issues related to belts and pulleys. You’re making a very efficient use of the drive system.”

The drive system was co-designed by engineers from Grasshopper and Parker-Hannifin Corp. For more information, go to www.grasshoppermower.com
