Feature Equipment Grasshopper mowers
Versatile Equipment
"We have purchased three Grasshopper mowers from Martin over the last eight years for maintaining parks, road shoulders, recreational centers and the village hall in Palos Park. Every time we need to purchase a new zero turn mower, all of our staff prefer Grasshopper. They are powerful, easy to maintain, and easy to handle. They meet all of our needs, and we can use them year-round with the snowblower, snow blade and leaf catcher attachments. The attachments are great too because they are the perfect width for our sidewalks, and they are easy to put on and take off."
Dependable Performance
"I often recommend these mowers to other people in the industry. I've been having incredible luck with these machines compared to other brands I've had. Since they don't break down as much, I don't have to spend as much money on maintenance, which is great with budgets being tight. The thing we like most about the Grasshopper mowers is the front deck. We have a lot of trees to cut around, and the front deck can reach underneath branches. Plus, the deck can be folded up, so it makes maintenance easier. Our mechanics no longer have to lie on their backs to maintain the blades and belts or grease all the fittings."
Excellent Customer Service
"Any time we have a problem or question with the
Grasshopper, our sales representative, Bob Keel, will
stop by and answer our questions or troubleshoot
the equipment. We purchase all our parts at Martin
Implement. They are conveniently located and easy to
work with."
