RICO MOWERS
Grasshopper Zero Mulching
Grasshopper Zero mulching
With nearly 50 years of experience, Grasshopper
understand the essentials for high quality, high output mowing.
Make the job comfortable and easy for the operator
- Comfort seat and footplate are both iso-mounted virtually eliminating vibration and jolting from high speed mowing.
- Dual lever control is 80% less strenuous than conventional steering systems. Manoeuvring quickly becomes second nature with intuitive control lever operation.
- Panoramic field of vision and convenient controls eliminate twisting and stretching. The operator can change body position without slowing down to prevent stiffness and fatigue.
Provide a range of machines to match any application
- Mid-mount versions for high capacity straightforward mowing.
- Front-mount versions for more complex jobs. On undulating land, the mower deck floats independently from the power unit. The low profile front deck also makes it easy to mow under shrubs, bushes, fences, etc.
- The design of the mower deck allows side or rear discharge, mulching or collection to suit the application.
- A wide range of quick-fit accessories allow the Grasshopper Zero Turn to be used for much more than mowing
Create a design to handle the demands of the heaviest commercial operation, then use that design for the entire range
- High grade 'exoSkeletal' tubular frame provides strength and rigidity and protects key components such as hydraulics, drive system and engine from the rigours of commercial mowing.
- Robot-welded steel decks are the strongest on the market.
- Heavy duty spindle housings with 6 bolt mounting, double bearings and spindle guards prevent wrapping and dirt ingress to ensure a long trouble free life.
- Integral cooling fans on transmission motors give extended working life.
