Is Kawasaki Coming Back To Grasshopper?

[Gebo]

Just watched a YouTube and it appears Grasshopper is going back to offering Kawasaki engines. Interesting....

It's a cycle..

Why did they stop offering them?

My understanding is, and I may be wrong, was the granddaddy of GH got upset with Kawasaki over something and it got personal. Remember it’s a family owned operation. Once you pee off the owner, you may need to wait a few generations.

Apparently, they are burying the hatchet.

Asked my local dealer this afternoon and he said the rep was just in with a new model with a Kawasaki engine.

Was it the stand up one?

If I bought a Grasshopper, it would be the one with the Kubota gas engine.
They say it gets a insane amount of hours, upwards of 11,000 hours.

Check the vid about the 11 min mark.

Thanks! His videos are what “sold” me. I really like his Bible teaching at the end of many of his videos.
