- I'm borrowing ANOTHER lawn mower from work, and seeing if it can replace the brush cutter on our tractor.
The American Made Grasshopper 100V series includes the 124V, the 125V and the 127V. They're basically the same mower, but with different engines. In this case, we'll be looking at the 125V with a Kohler engine and 61 inch deck.
Here's some Science Facts from Grasshopper:
Combining commercial-grade features and powerful performance in a compact design, the Model 125V riding lawn mower with zero-turn maneuverability is ideal for tight quarters mowing and is a great way to step up to Grasshopper comfort, quality and durability.

The simple design and color scheme are awesome in my opinion.
I have the grasshopper 125 with 52” deck 2015. It mows 3 yards about 4 acres total weekly has about 240 hours on it and it still has the original belts on it. Really great on fuel. Less than a gallon per yard. It has been outstanding.
Have been checking out the Grasshopper web and narrowed it down to the 125v and checked out your TH-cam video. Thanks for the information. Wanted something simple, that would last and easy to maintain. Now it’s time to head to the local dealer and delve further.
My grasshoppers are amazing I got a 2003 I bought brand new 428D 72” that still runs perfect with 2100 hours just recently got a 400D and 900D love the 1.3 liter diesel engine on the 72” decks new gonna switch brands
I've been consistently impressed by these mowers. Grasshopper really has a winning formula on their hands
grasshopper are the best ! enjoy mowing with it man
I currently have a Gravely Proturn 260 and love it. But I'm looking into getting a front mount grasshopper. I'll buy any mower except John Deere. Overpriced green paint 😂 Nice review!
I'm certainly not an expert on every mower ever made, but I can confidently say that Grasshopper makes some of the most well built and well thought out mowers on the market. They just work.
I have a Grasshooper 900D, it’s broke more than it runs right, one of the worst mowers made, pure junk!
@@johnhalter8317 was it a used model or new?
They’re great mowers for sure, I prefer Ferris because I’m in my mid 50’s and the ride and comfort are more important than all the other features. Well that and they’re faster, better cut but they are quite frankly, OVERPRIVCED. that said I’m hoping other quality brands like this make a better effort in comfort/ride because I along with everyone else would like to save the cost difference, and it’s a lot.
Hey man got a quick question I really appreciate it if you can answer whenever you get time do you recommend 100 series grasshopper commercial use on about 25 yards
They're a plenty strong machine, so I would bet you'd be in good shape, especially if we're just talking about basic mowing and not trying to knock down fields with 6 foot grass on the regular.
😂 no no sr thank for the response
Can I get it with deployable mechanical spider legs feature?
Yes, but you only get 6 legs, which is kinda odd
Remove or tie up discharge chute will help your bogging in deep grass.
I love my grass hopper. Makes most other mower show how much junk they are. My diesel engine is amazing. Power to burn. Cuts amazing bags amazing and super easy to clean and service.
Have you ever run a grasshopper front mount mower ? I'm looking at one
Sure have! They are great machines. A little on the large side, but I like being able to mow under trees without bein IN the tree, and lifting the deck for maintenance is really convenient. Definitely my favorite mower
The mid mount is much more superior in terms of usage
@@sveltergem2449 I've been pleasantly surprised at how much material you can process with both, but the front mount really shines in tall grass, in my opinion. It's nice to not have all the grass in your face at all times, and if there's an unexpected dip in the ground, the deck will hit it before your whole mower is in the hole!
@@sveltergem2449 can you give me some pros and cons in comparing , I can see that the front mount might be an advantage for extremely tall growth or rough terrain but is the mid mount better at finishing? Close quarters ?
@@outinthesticks1035 bro both are solid options but go with the front mount for sure
That model uses the Parker transmission.

What is the lowest mower setting
Grasshopper's website says it'll go 1 inch, but that could vary depending on how the deck is leveled
Boring and Basic is better anytime than Flashy and Flagrant, nobody in this industry seems to understand that.
I agree grasshopper makes the most boring mower but they sure cut good! My pick on the best design mower would be spartan hands down they make some exciting looking mowers! Especially their 61 and 72 inch mowers! But from what I hear they do not cut well as the other brands do... eh two each their own good video for sure!
I'll tell you what- I'm very impressed with how well these cut. I've goy golr courses that use them as well as farms that use them as brush cutters. Using the right blades is important as they do offer a few variation
From what I’ve seen, Spartan has crappy mowers and crappy service or lack of service.
Put yer armrests down bub. Easy to get up !
You've never seen how many armrests I've broken!
Need a tractor tire
Doesn’t look like the ROPS will help you much…
I'm not gonna test that. 😬
My 900D must be exciting in your opinion pure junk, broke all the time,two months last year and in shop with a broken pump right now. The list is very long, a great disappointment, one more break down this junk is gone!
Bummer! I've never had a 900 in our shop with problems like that. How many hours does it have on it?
Old Snapper is most boring mower ever made...
Heck no! Forrest Gump runs a Snapper. It's a friggin hot rod
Reverse is amazing. Don't pull levers hard. Very softly. Just a even speed.
