Grasshopper 400D
Fast and powerful to get the job done on time, every time.
The Grasshopper 400D 1.3L zero-turn lawn mower features the legendary power of a Kubota 3-cylinder MaxTorque™ Clean Diesel engine that delivers best-in-class torque and fuel economy. Commercial landscapes depend on Grasshopper mowers for their comfort, performance, productivity, quality and dependability.
Kubota Diesel Engine
- EPA Tier 4 Final-compliant 77 cu. in. (1.3L) , 3-cylinder, liquid-cooled Kubota Clean Diesel engine with horizontal crankshaft and pressure lube for smooth, reliable operation
Heavy Duty Deck
- Extra-deep, 5.5-inch deck is fabricated from heavy-gauge formed steel with a reinforced anvil edge
- Specially designed cutting chambers enhance airflow for better cut quality
- Deck easily converts from side discharge to optional Down Discharge™ mulching or PowerVac™ collection
- Sentry™ spindles with massive, 8-inch flanges anchored in a 6-bolt pattern, spread the force of impact for greater strength
- Spindle planes are fabricated from double-layered formed steel laminate and combine with the spindles to form a triple-strength deck to keep blades level and deliver a high-quality cut.
- Sentry™ spindle guards shield spindle housing and seal lower bearings from fiber wrap and dirt ingestion
Ultimate Operator Station™
- The deep-cushioned, deluxe Premium Comfort Seat features a coil-spring suspension and padded lumbar support for all-day comfort. Iso-mounting eliminates vibration before it reaches the seat, and both padded seat and armrests are covered in scuff-resistant, breathable CoolTemp Cordura® fabric, which dissipates heat and won’t tear or crack with extended use.
- Operational controls including throttle, choke and angled View-Eze™ console and adjustable cup holder are well positioned for visibility and ease of reach
- One or two hand steering system with QuikAjust Tilt™ dual levers with 9-inch comfort range that automatically returns the levers to the neutral position from the forward or reverse position.

QuikAjust Tilt™ Levers
Yellow Beacon Light
PowerVac® MidMount Collection System
Custom Cordura® Weather Cover
4X Rear Discharge Deck
SpeedTrimming™ Roller Kit
Edge-EZE™ Edger
Creates clean, sharp turf edges along sidewalks, roadways and driveways, eliminating time-consuming secondary trimming and reducing edging time up to 75 percent compared to hand-held string trimmers and walk-behinds.
Shielded Sprayer
Accepts 53-inch, 30-gallon shielded sprayer, which features aerodynamically designed shields and fully shielded curtains to contain chemical spray. Four-nozzle spraying chambers apply small droplets that "stick" to vegetation for more coverage per tank using less chemicals.
Sunshade Canopy Vinyl
Radiator Cleaning Wand
A multi-channel sprayer that combs water pressure between radiator fins without damage, dislodging packed-in dust and debris that can become an invisible source of engine overheating. Remove and clean radiator screen regularly. A dirty screen will cause the engine to overheat. For use on liquid-cooled models only.
Down Discharge™ Mulching Package
Foldable ROPS
The Foldable ROPS allows the two-post ROPS to be lowered for mowing under low-hanging trees and other overhead obstacles, or for storing and transporting in enclosed trailers with low door clearance. CAUTION: Avoid drop-offs, embankments and steep slopes. Do not allow ROPS to provide a false pretense of security in hazardous areas and avoid questionable conditions. Always wear seatbelt when Foldable ROPS is in up-right position. When Foldable ROPS is down, DO NOT use seat belt, and drive with extra caution.
Wide Seat Conversion Kit
Sunshade Canopy Aluminum
Diamond-plated aluminum canopy is highly resistant to abrasions. Mounts to ROPS or OPS to increase operator comfort by limiting exposure to direct sunlight and reducing eye strain. Canopy tilts up and down to accommodate operator’s size. Optional cooling fan and LED light kit increase operator comfort and visibility.
DuraFlex™ Suspension Forks
Side Discharge Control Kit
Michelin® X® Tweel® Airless Turf Tire
Optional 24x12.00x12 turf-tread drive tire for MidMount™ models equipped with 61- or 72-inch decks, performs like a pneumatic tire but without the inconvenience and downtime associated with flat tires. Provides consistent hub height to ensure the mower deck produces an even cut and excellent lateral stability and outstanding operator comfort. Not for use with PowerVac Collection Systems.
