MODEL OutStander® SO26 Features & Benefits
Command Center Tower
- Provides 4.5 inches of adjustable range and is positioned to provide a panoramic view of the mowing environment and easy reach of all switches, levers and controls, including a deep phone/accessory tray with USB charging ports.
- Features an extra-wide, extra-thick pad with embroidered Grasshopper logo.
LED Work Lights
- LED work lights provide improved visibility in low light situations.
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
- 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
Hydraulically Dampened Control Levers
- Hydraulically dampened control levers that also provide responsive and effortless maneuvering–including one-hand operation–and return to neutral when released from forward and reverse. Adjustable grip bar accommodates larger and smaller reaches of different operators.
Wide Anti-Slip Platform
- Equipped with coil-spring suspension and dampeners, insulating the operator from vibrations, for a smooth, shock-reducing, floating-action ride and minimal bouncing.
Low Center of Gravity
- Every Grasshopper mower is designed with a low center of gravity for optimal traction and stability. The centralized location of the engine, T-Drive™ pump and dual fuel tanks on Stand-On models lowers the overall center of gravity, and a total fuel capacity of 9.25 gal/35.0 L reduces the need for frequent refueling.
EZ Deck lift lever
- Cutting height is effortlessly raised and lowered thanks to the smooth motion of the hand-operated lever.
USB Ports
- Two USB Charging Ports
Compact Wheelbase
- The compact wheelbase provides an incredible power-to-size ratio.
- Easily fit more units on trailers and maneuver through tighter spaces.
Minimal Maintenance
- Five grease points and easy top-side access to belts and filters
- 500-hour transmission fluid change intervals
- 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
B&S Vanguard Engine
- 810 cc (49.4 cu. in.) Vanguard, V-Twin, OHV engine
- Heavy-duty components enhance power and reliability
- Remote-mounted, centrifugal multi-stage air cleaner with advanced debris managements
- Extended maintenance intervals
- Three-year limited commercial engine manufacturer warranty (see dealer for details)
