Lawn care professionals who attend the GIE+EXPO in Louisville, Ky., will have the opportunity to learn how the complete line of fuel-efficient Grasshopper zero-turn mowers and year-round productivity solutions can make them more productive and profitable all year long.
Show attendees will be able to take advantage of Grasshopper’s “Fall 500” program, which includes special GIE+EXPO show pricing on a new Grasshopper power unit and $500 off of an implement – such as a PowerVac Collection System or DriftBuster snowthrower – with low-interest, low-payment financing; zero-percent financing options are also available in-lieu of the $500 implement discount.
The “One-Pass Perfection” theme highlights Grasshopper’s reputation for designing products that deliver immaculate results – whether mowing grass, collecting leaves, aerating soil or clearing snow – with the ability to perform those lawn care tasks and more with only one power unit and one engine to maintain.
Grasshopper, exhibiting at booths 9136 (inside) and 7542D (outside), will also showcase the following:
HighLift 15B PowerVac – The new HighLift 15B collector takes productivity to new heights. The 15-cu. ft.-capacity metal hopper can be raised easily at the touch of a switch to a maximum height of 72 inches to empty clippings precisely where they need to go in the center of a pick-up bed, trailer or other elevated space. The collector also easily clears fences and compost pile walls. The PowerVac Collection System features a deck-driven Quik-D-Tatch vac capable of picking up virtually anything for a clean sweep on every pass – including wet grass, high-moisture leaves, pine straw and other debris – without clogging for uninterrupted productivity. Look for it in the New Products Area.
Expanded V Series – Two new mower models – 125V and 225V – offer commercial features and durability at an economical price. Specifications include a 747--cc Kohler Confidant engine with 3-year engine manufacturer warranty, fully hydraulic integrated pump-and-wheel-motor drive with greater weight bearing capacity to accommodate high-capacity grass collectors, best-in-class transmission fluid change interval with no break-in period, and 5.5-inch, extra-deep cutting decks.
Grasshopper Fuel and Emissions Calculator – This useful tool presents visitors with fuel costs and savings comparisons, greenhouse and smog-forming gas emissions per hour of mowing, and overall profitability comparisons for each of the three most popular fuel choices for commercial mowers. Available at www.grasshopperfuelsavings.com.
Grasshopper owners Freddy and Cathey Daughtrey of Daughtrey Lawn Maintenance in Paris, Texas, and Jim and Karen Marschel of Dry Fork Lawn Care in Warrenton, Mo., will be special guests at the indoor booth this year. Both couples have storied histories of putting Grasshopper equipment to work in profitable lawn care companies and will be available to answer questions about how Grasshopper has contributed to their personal and business success.
