The Grasshopper Company released two new Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) zero-turn mowers. The MidMount Model 327 EFI and FrontMount Model 727T EFI are powered by 747cc Kohler Command Pro closed-loop EFI engines. Closed-loop EFI engines offer a range of benefits to operators and dealers, including decreased fuel use, reliable hot and cold starts, reduced engine exhaust emissions, and fewer fuel-induced service issues, according to the company. The Delphi automotive-based system features plug-in diagnostics with engine feedback and performance information for easier diagnosis of service issues and faster service intervals.

Model 727T EFI can be equipped with 52-, 61-, or 72-inch DuraMax cutting decks, and 61- or 72-inch DuraMax decks are available for Model 327 EFI. Both models accept PowerVac Collection Systems, while a range implements for the 727T EFI can increase productivity.
