2026 Grasshopper OutStander Series SO27KW 52"
This innovative OutStander® Series of stand-on mowers has been slowly crafted across years of development, making it a near-perfect piece of commercial mowing equipment.
Features may include:
- Trim ultra close to buildings, easements, and landscaping without worrying about scraping and damaging your deck—or the property you're mowing.
- Raise or lower the discharge chute to control whether clippings are directed out the side of the mower or the rear of the deck.
- Attachable mount that allows you to securely store a trimmer on the stand-on zero-turn for quick, easy access.
- Attachable mount that allows you to keep a 5-gallon bucket on the side of your stand-on mower.
