Description:

The 526V-52 riding lawn mower one of the smallest and most compact FrontMount™ mowers available. Enjoy all the comfort, maneuverability, cut quality and durability that only Grasshopper zero-turn mowers provide. Raise and lower the front-mounted deck for easy cleaning and compact storage using the PowerFold® deck lift/electric height adjustment.

Features:

Heavy-Duty Deck:

• Extra-deep, 5.5-inch deck made from heavy-gauge formed steel with a reinforced anvil edge.
• Specially designed cutting chambers enhance airflow for superior cut quality.
• 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 fabricated from double-layered formed steel laminate, combined with spindles, form a triple-strength deck to keep blades level and ensure a high-quality cut.
• Sentry™ spindle guards shield spindle housing and seal lower bearings from fiber wrap and dirt ingestion.
• Vigilant Operator Presence System™:
• Standard low profile operator protection structure (OPS) with an adjustable seatbelt.
• Dampened steering levers return to neutral from forward and reverse.
• Interlock switches that shut down the engine when the operator leaves the seat while PTO is engaged or levers are in drive position

Power Fold® Electric Deck Lift

• Standard on all Front Mount™ Dura Max® decks, Power Fold® is the zero-turn mower industry's first electric deck lift (introduced in 2004).
• Power Fold® rotates the deck nearly 90 degrees to provide easy access to the underside of the deck for simplified maintenance and mulching package installation, plus space-saving portability and storage.
• The feature also adjusts cutting height between 2.0 and 4.5 inches and controls deck lift functions using a single switch.

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 Cool Temp 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-handed operation with Comfort Reach™ adjustable Hydra-Smooth™ dual levers that automatically return to neutral from either forward or reverse position.

Warranty

• Commercial Use: 2-year or 800-hour (whichever comes first); limited warranty covering parts and labor.
• Residential Use: 4-year or 800-hour (whichever comes first); limited warranty: First two years covering parts and labor, last two years covering parts only.

Design-Matched Transmission

• Design-matched, fully hydraulic Parker HTE Series integrated pump-and-wheel-motor transmissions with in-line cooling fans and fine-particle filtration
• No power-robbing gearbox or other wear parts for longer service life
• Provides best-in-class transmission fluid change interval with no break-in period, reducing costs and maintenance time

Power Fold® Electric Deck Lift

• Standard on all Front Mount™ Dura Max® decks, Power Fold® is the zero-turn mower industry's first electric deck lift (introduced in 2004).
• Power Fold® rotates the deck nearly 90 degrees to provide easy access to the underside of the deck for simplified maintenance and mulching package installation, plus space-saving portability and storage.
• The feature also adjusts cutting height between 1.25 and 5.0 inches and controls deck lift functions using a single switch.

Reduced Maintenance

• Only two Access-Eze™ lubrication points cut maintenance time up to 95%
• Self-tensioning belts minimize cost and labor on routine maintenance

Rugged Construction

• Robotically-welded steel construction for long-lasting durability
• Centered-bearing design provides greater load-bearing capacity to handle the weight of operator, fuel and high-capacity collector with reserve strength for curb shocks and weight shifts
• Tough-as-nails powder-coated finish is fusion-bonded for chip and rust resistance
