    Grasshopper 900D Grease zerk locations

    Anyone know where and how to get to the front zero on the clutch power shaft? I found the one at the rear of the mower on a pillar block bearing but can’t see the front one. I did find the one under my feet on the universal half shaft though. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    I went back to the owners manual and it really doesn’t say draft control off. It mentions something like sensitive and float or something. Either way I will check again but after looking online the lever should be all the way down and forward. Funny thing is on the kubota I can’t really tell a...

    3-Point Hitch Kubota M7060 & proper rotary cutter setup

    It’s funny on all my Fords The lever has to to be all the way in the down position. If you put it all the way back at the top the implement is just in the full up position. But from what I can tell on the Kabota the draft control should be all the way back in the up or higher position. On all...

    I just started bush hogging with my new M7060 and noticed the cutter does not seem to follow the ground (tilt) properly. Draft control is typically used for soil engagement correct? With this said seems I want lever all the way back? What I don’t understand is sometimes when I lower the Bushhog...

    Grasshopper 900d vs 725dt

    Honestly the 725D is not that great if you have steep hills and or high grass. Poor power and poor traction as compared to the 900D. The extra weight of the larger engine really helps the 900D push the front deck so to speak. The 725D engine is only .9L vs the 1.3L that’s in the 900D. Huge...

    Grasshopper 900d vs 725dt

    They did it because of government regulations. 25hp is the max power output before going to next tier emissions requirements. It’s actually pretty smart what they did. They used a larger displacement motor setup at lower rpm’s to maintain 25hp while producing a lot of torque. That’s why just...

    Grasshopper definitely has the front deck models figured out. Even for the vertical service position of deck it’s completely servo driven so just the flip of a switch away. If they made a 4x4 model I would get another Grasshopper without hesitation

    It’s is a lot of hydraulic flow for a 70hp tractor but sure does help when doing bucket work speeding up things a lot.

    I like your review. So many just say all the positives and no negatives. Most machines do have some weak points for sure. I did notice the deck was a pain in the butt as compared to my Grasshopper 900D. It’s electric and very easy to adjust. No heavy lifting required either.
