Snow removal system powers through snow efficiently

Snow removal system powers through snow efficiently

The Grasshopper Company’s zero-turn FrontMount power units serve as the heart of a complete snow removal system comprised of commercial snowthrowers, dozer blades, rotary brooms and V-plows. Applying zero-turn maneuverability to snow removal saves time and labour so each operator can accomplish more work in less time. These compact, heavy-duty implements power through snow effortlessly with professional-grade construction. Grasshopper’s QuikConverter implement system lets you install and remove implements in minutes without tools. An optional winter enclosure (for 700 and 900 Series) and 16,000 BTU/hr heater (for liquid-cooled models) protects operators from the elements.

PTO-driven snowthrowers deliver “no-clog” performance, even in deep or heavy, wet snows. A discharge spout controlled from the operator’s seat rotates a full 180 degrees to deliver snow up to 30 feet away. Available in 48- and 60-inch models, Grasshopper snowthrowers feature heavy-gauge welded steel construction, a high-speed 12-inch-diameter auger and a heavy-duty replaceable scraper blade.
