2005 Grasshopper 727KW Zero-Turn Mower – Kawasaki Liquid-Cooled – Non-Running Description Up for auction is a 2005 Grasshopper 727KW front-mount zero-turn mower, equipped with a Kawasaki 27 HP liquid-cooled gasoline engine. The Grasshopper 727KW was built as a commercial-grade front-mount mower and is known for its heavy-duty construction, maneuverability, and durable mowing deck. This machine is being offered as a non-operational mower/project machine. The Kawasaki engine is still free and turns over, but the seller reports that one cylinder has lost compression, and the engine will require repair or replacement before the mower can be returned to service. Prior to the engine issue, this mower was fully functional and being used for normal mowing operations. The machine had also received a number of updates and repairs, including new drive tires, work to the mower deck, and new headlights. For someone with an available replacement engine, this could be an excellent opportunity to put a proven commercial mower back into service. It could also make a very useful parts machine, with a substantial amount of usable mower, deck, hydraulic, steering, chassis, and other components. Replacement and complete Kawasaki engines are still referenced for the Grasshopper 727KW platform, and the model was specifically offered with the 27 HP Kawasaki liquid-cooled engine.
