  • +72-inch cut clears large open acreage fast

  • Diesel service parts cost more than petrol equivalents
  • Priced like a small tractor, and dealer-only
Our verdict

Grasshopper 400D (72-in)

The 400D is the bigger diesel in Grasshopper's range, and it is built for people who mow serious ground for a living. A 30 HP Kubota diesel gives it torque and fuel economy a petrol engine cannot match, the DuraMax deck uses a triple-strength design to keep blades level under load, and hydraulic deck lift plus a big fuel tank make long days easier. A 72-inch cut clears open acreage fast. It is heavy, it is dealer-only, and seventeen thousand dollars is real money. For a groundskeeper, a municipality or a large estate where fuel bills and uptime are line items, the diesel maths makes it pay for itself.
