Have you looked at a rear discharge deck? I think with the grass being that thick, the discharge is what’s holding that motor back. I know there’s a flail mower option as well. But those are a pretty penny. That could handle all that and more without a doubt.
@@alexpegorsch7642 we have, I only mow this section once or twice a year. So for the majority of the time a right discharge seems to work okay for me. I’d like to try a rear discharge though !
@@dryrunoutdoors there’s a video by Iowa Farm Equipment on here that shows a time lapse of a flail mower being used that seems to be mowing some pretty haggard stuff. Whatever you go with, those 900 series are probably the way to go considering you can use different implements on it and the insane amounts of power they’ve got.
that foot plate pulls out and lift up as deck will raise even higher I know this and also gives access to drive shaft to disconnect deck and switch to other attachments
I want a 900d or even a 940 but gd the price is crazy. I have a 2006 727k with 1200 hours and it’s feeling tired but it still starts every time I turn the key. Once you go front mount you never go back to mid mount.
have to life up foot rest platform before using power fold option it will go higher when the foot plate is lifted up you can damage mower by not raising that plate I mentioned
We have 7 acres. This is one of the top end commercial mowers produced by this company. It can handle a lot of use. You can mow with this all day everyday
I HAVE A MID MOUNT GRASSHOPPER IT IS A 2003 320D 61IN DECK AND MOWING EIGHT TO TEN ACRES , SO I SOLD MY TRACTOR AND I COULD MOW THE SAME LAND IN ABOUT HALF.THE TIME. A MUCH CLEANER LOOK.I HAVE OWEN THIS MOWER FOR 14 YEARS. NO MOTOR PROBLEMS OUR HYD. PROBLEMS. JUST BELTS AND PULLEYS 4 TO 5 YEARS.
@@AndrewDerrick-sq4bm On Tuesday I tried the two grasshopper models, the 900d and the 400d, they are amazing, they managed to cut grass almost a meter high and chopped it finely in a single pass
@@AndrewDerrick-sq4bmthe 900D can pull a 72” all day long with no issues. 725D maybe not. The 900D has the same HP as the 725D but has different displacement and is tuned/restricted to a lower RPM to avoid emissions restrictions. 900D runs around 2500-2700rpms whereas the 725D runs around 3600.
@@shanepipkin4041 very well. Didn’t notice a difference in the tall grass. However it is hard to judge on our lawn right now as it is almost all brown due to the heat wave!
You put it to the test, Impressive!
Super cool Machine!
Nice video yes grasshopper is the mower to go! Although i love john deere grasshopper just as good
Thank you!

You need that flail! Lol
Have you tried them out? are they worth it?
I have not but that set up will be my next purchase, I currently use an Altoz for the heavy grass
@@lennyjourdan8782 I’d like to see some footage of the flail !
How many total acres do you have or how many can this mower handle? Thanks! Great informative video!

Rear discharge allows you to take full advantage of ZTM
Not forget there’s also the grasshopper mower diesel 900d kubota 30 horsepower engine
@@LeonardoMigot we have been looking at the diesels also. Would be nice to have all diesel equipment
@@dryrunoutdoors if torque and power there is also the grasshopper mower 729t and mount a kubota wg972 petrol
Not all 900d are 30hp.. my old city had a 900d and its 25hp.. dont have enough HP for a 61" deck. But still a good mower.
