Grasshopper 729 Big Block - MiBi Mowing

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 10 มิ.ย. 2020
- Hey guys, JD and Seth back with another video demoing a Grasshopper 729. This bad boy has a 29 Horsepower Vanguard Big Block, along with a 61" deck. I bought Seth's Snapper Pro, so he is looking for another mower for the company, meaning that we will be demoing some mowers for you. In this case, the 729 Big Block! This mower is great for use both in open fields, and believe it or not, in neighborhoods! The grasshopper comes in both gas version, and a diesel which is a 72" deck. An awesome feature about this mower is that the front mounted deck is detachable, which allows you to equip it with an aerator, snowblower, sweeper, ect. The front mount deck has an electric lift and is articulating, which means less scalping, as you can see in our video. When you watch it, I know i accidentally typed 'spripe' instead of 'stripe', so don't judge me for that, lol. 😆 Enjoy the video.

Great video grasshopper are the rolls royce of lawn mowers
Oh yeah.
@@mibilawnlandscape4466 the grasshopper mower 729 bt with briggs stratton vanguard with 29 horsepower works really great
Man that's a beast of a machine 🤙
Yeah man, I felt like it had just a little more torque than the 325D we demoed... (totally not a spoiler) ;P
Question, why did you keep lifting the deck and disengaging the blades and reengage in them every single pass just curious because out of the 27 years of mowing grass I’ve never seen anybody do that before
How is he lifting the front edge of the deck up? I have power lift but while stopped deck goes down first then up in front
I found out there is a power lift option grasshopper uses for blade snowblower and deck
Great video. Fun and informative thank you
On your 729 Big Block when you increase your engine speed do your blades spin the same speed or faster
the blades spin as fast as you set the power.
i used to keep my block off plate on mine you can't even see the klippings n less to blow down
Sweet, I love the articulating deck on the front
How did u get ur dealer to let u test them.. I'm in the market for a new I e but want to test a few different ones
H Silva, we were given a demo from Lakeland Generator, so if you can find a Grasshopper dealer and ask them for a demo, they should give you one. Finding a dealer though can be a challenge since there aren't many out there, at least that's the way it is in our area. If I were you, I'd google Grasshopper dealers near you. Hope this helps. :)
We got lots of them here in Missouri! I think it because we are not that far from where they make them which is in moundrige Kansas approximately 3 hours from where I am located at
Just bought 2 of the 725D’s after owning 2 Woods for bout 10 yrs then owning 2 of the 729 grasshoppers gas for 8 yrs. All of course have been front deck. So, I’d say I qualify as somewhat of an expert or at least a very experienced owner. They claim to have more “torque” than the gas models which no one fully understands or can explain. I do know what the definition of torque is. They have 4 less hp than the 729’s. Looks like to me the lower hp cancels out the higher torque. Have to go up to the 900 to get more hp but they’re to large/wide/expensive for my purposes. I have noticed that the 725D will bog down quicker in really thick/dense grass than the 729 gas did. The gas 729’s always powered right through it. Same size 61” decks. The diesel does use less fuel in the same amount of hours but diesel is higher priced so that’s not such a big deal to me. Plus as highly expensive as these mowers are, if you’re worried about a few dollars in fuel, you need a cheaper mower anyway. I am not a commercial lawn care co., just a lot of acres to mow. The diesels, being water cooled, are also very sensitive to radiator and it’s cover getting covered and clogged by grass clippings and over heating. When very dry and after 4hrs or so have to stop and clean/wash off radiator and it’s cover or machine tries to over heat. Takes the two mowers at least 5hrs to completely mow our property so that can be a pain. Got to keep a really close eye on the coolant level. I am really trying to like these new mowers but I’m afraid I might should have gotten the gas 729 again especially since I’m stuck with the two diesels now for bout 10 more years. The gas was also considerably cheaper. Pros: they do start very quickly/easily at least in warm weather, uses less fuel, mow very smoothly and evenly as all their models do I’m sure,fuel gauges electronic and much easier to see on console, added the expensive flotation seat option which I think I’m gonna really like so far. Cons: more expensive, needs the extra 4hp in the 725D model,more maintenance due to water cooled,fold down roll bars need to be lower, belt cover on deck easy to bent and you will step on it though not a step,fuel tanks since their beginnings have been easy to puncture by obstacles if not careful, maybe motor is a bit louder,discharge decks seem to be very prone to grass/residue build up(maybe because they’re new but have had more than once had to stop mowing and wash out under decks, thank goodness for the power raise decks). So this is my observation of the 725D, so far. Wish me luck. Still, they’re great mowers.
axeman33333 I appreciate yr input.
@@chrisd.9745 well, I wound up returning those to the dealer and getting the 937g3’s. They understood completely and agreed the over heating due to clogging radiators was a problem. Dealer was was great to allow me to return these and upgrade without losing money plus allowed me $500 credit in service dept. These 937’s are beasts and cadillacs of the industry in my opinion. Duel fuel tanks, wider tires, more power, fuel injected, power deck with deck raising feature on handle bar, etc. So happy with these machines and Grasshopper customer service and engineering. They’re the BEST.
@@axeman33333 thank you
You can turn the injection pump up on the 725D and it will help with it not bogging down. That's what I did on mine.
@@dylanfuller1506 Good idea
The client must have understanding neighbors Most Karen's would be reading you the riot act for turning on their driveway.
@Bob, lol most karens would. But we also have the people that we turned on their driveway as a client also
Lets find some safety glasses for Seth. Please
I wonder how it would do on a small yard
it didnt do bad, jut pretty wide. definitely wouldnt work on all yards
The grasshopper is a great machine and only thing I don’t like is that they wount throw wet grass even with high lift blades
I'll have to check it out if I try it again, the day we were cutting the grass was mostly dry. Could be something to do with the deck design perhaps?
@@mibilawnlandscape4466 scag is the best for wet grass
Do you get that many request for striping? Had a business for 30+ years only requested once. I never cared for it myself, would rather mow blowing grass to the middle or bagged with a level deck and no stripes.
@wanabyastick, not so much the customers request it from us, but we do it as a standard service. Also we do not have a bagger yet, but soon hopefully... lol
Got to teach him not to shoot grass clipping out into the roadway.
Bro
Way to big for that little lawn
Maybe, but worth the demo
Too long
Only if u have a short yard
@@axeman33333 okkkkkkkkkkkkk???.
@@drakewesterman9798 If you are worried about transporting them, the deck will fold up and takes up about the same area on trailer as a normal Zt.
mike notta not so much transporting just not for me all my yards are under a quarter acre so it’s too long/big
Seth doesn't know how to mow. The 729 is a big mower but you can have a 48" instead to do just as well.
The reason I was looking at a 61 was be cause I mow 2 5 acre fields and know I own 2 stand on mowers 1 is a 54in and the other one is a 48in I wish I had bought that mower it was a beast😂
That thing shouldn't even be in a yard that small. That mower is made to stretch out on some long passes in a big space.
What can I say, we made the most of it 😂😂🤣🤣
