Grasshopper Mowers is a long‑standing American manufacturer of commercial zero‑turn mowers widely adopted by municipalities and correctional facilities. From a prison or public‑works perspective, their appeal is simple and traditional: durable machines that run day after day, are easy to maintain in‑house, and hold up under multiple operators with varying skill levels.
Grasshopper mowers are valued for front‑mount decks that improve visibility around fences, buildings, and perimeter lines, along with rugged drivetrains and straightforward mechanical designs. In environments where downtime is expensive, budgets are tight, and reliability matters more than bells and whistles, they’ve earned a reputation as equipment that just does the job - quietly, predictably, and without drama. Not flashy, but that’s kind of the point.
