I like zero-turns, but I *LOVE* my 428D!!!! Once you have a Grasshopper...there's no going back; no living without one. Bought mine about 6 years ago with over 2000 hours on it, and I use it every week to mow off 6-7 acres on my place- it has about 2800 hours on it now. I just LOVE mowing with it!
Finally, a video made for Grasshopper transmission/tracking maintenance. Thank you!
You're welcome! I couldn't find one either, so why not make one
I just picked up a 2018 729bt with 224 hours at auction. My first ztr. Your videos gave me the confidence to get it. Thank you!
Thank you Shawn! I'm glad I could be helpful. Sounds like a nice, low hour machine. Enjoy it!
@@IndyFarmLife if you try the grasshopper with T-drive never let it go why buying already why have powerfold
Have had our Grasshopper for 18 years. 1200 hours and no issues so far. Local dealer support has been an issue at times since the franchise has moved around my area. Kohler Command Pro engine. Heavy duty equipment.
Great video! Thanks for posting, really helped me out on my 2000 721D. I do love my Grasshopper, still runs great after 24 years. Being in the mowing business years back I ran JD 1145's, 945's , Walker's , Z Tracks bat wing mowers. The Grasshopper is the one I chose to keep.
Well, you learn the most valuable lesson I learned as a child in the 60s. Living in the south and being a person of color. Dad always said this. Machines are like people. We used and abuse them daily with no regards to them operating everyday. Every once in a while they get sick and need doctoring. Machines need to be repaired, so always have a backup for such emergencies. That's why smart bosses have more than 1 valuable employee. My Dad had to be fired from KCS Railway in order to relax and enjoy life. Always have backup, I do.
My philosophy exactly! I have 27 acres, and if a machine is down, things can get out of hand quickly- so I tend to buy groundskeeping equipment in duplicate- i.e. 2 weed-eaters; 2 chainsaws...and 2 ZTRs. If one breaks down...just grab the other and keep going, and then fix the broken one at your leisure. (Could really use 2 tractors too...but good ones are hard to find at a reasonable price!)
I have a Grasshopper 220 ztr that I purchased new in 2007. Well over 1000 hours on it and have done nothing but oil changes and belt replacements, plus a few new batteries. I also grease the deck spindles regularly. Built like a tank as you said!
Thanks I have been going crazy trying to figure mine out, same exact problem. I'll find out in the morning if it's the same solution.😊
I hope it's the same! Cheap/easy repair compared to the alternative!
I love mine, 722d 2004 model still KICKIN!!!! Troubleshooting a no start issue and decided to watch your videos. I believe it’s the switch interlock, when I turn the key it hums and buzzes at the switch interlock solid state component . I will do a little investigating tomorrow.
I have grasshopper 321d, 721d, and a 428d. My 428d has about 2000 hours. My 321d has about 1500 hours. My 721d has about 600 hours. I think they are great mowers.
You have a fleet! Nice! They really are great mowers. Hasn't failed me yet!
My 1994 720 is still going strong. The only big thing I've had to replace in 30 years is a broken drive axle... I'm pretty rough on it.
I have a Scag SSZ and got it cheap because the previous owner thought the hydraulic pump was bad. It had a leaky hose that caused the belt to slip.
Sounds like a good deal for you!
I'm not yet in the market for a riding mower. I expect when we move out of Marion county in the next 2 years, that may be when I'll be looking for a zero turn. Good information video Adam.
Yea it would certainly be overkill if you didn't have the yard for it! But when you do, give them a look!
Great video on the repair. Someday I will own one. Thank You
Nice easy fix! I really wanted to see you lose it though
Haha. It's still recent enough that if the transmission on the 4052R goes out, I'm calling you and Adam first to ask WTF?
@@IndyFarmLife i poured sand in the hydraulic fill tube. Sorry about that
@@SpicerDesignsLLC I guess it's a good thing it's a Deere and not a Kioti? 😎 🚜
Love my 725DT. It replaced a gas 727T efi. The only reason for the change was a “consolidation” of my fuel supply.
I noticed you have a rear hitch. Could you please give some details. Thanks.
Let me see if I can track down that part for you. It's awesome to have
If the transmission on the John Deere goes out… Kyle drove it last
Don't worry. He already fussed up to putting sand in the tranny. Guess I better buy a new one? 🙃
Can you raise and lower deck with blades engaged? I got a front mount mower John Deere.
On this unit you can, as it's a manual lift deck. I'm not sure about the newer models that are electric lift. Newer units also have 'powerlift' option. On those, you press a button and it picks the deck up several inches and kills the blades so you can traverse sidewalks or other obstacles. As soon as you let go of the button, the deck drops down and the blades come back on. Pretty cool.
Do you have any idea what weight hydraulic fluid this thing takes?
They have their own special fluid. I was told it had bronze added to it. ??
@@Gebomartin215 Of course they do, and it's overpriced. I ended up cleaning the sticker on the side of my machine, says it takes "Mobil DTE-26 Hydraulic Fluid". And it's pretty much 68 weight oil. You can get AW 68 5 gal buckets for cheaper at Napa or wherever
Remember that the right side will always be the weaker side on a zero-turn.
Why is that?
@@IndyFarmLife
My apologies, apparently I was retarded yesterday. The left side is the side that is on the uphill stroke of the engine's crankshaft. Regardless, there was obviously much more wrong with the hydros on your front-mount than just this. Hope you were able to get it worked out & not too costly to do it. I have a 900 efi Grasshopper & sold them for 4 years so I'm a firm believer in their products.
