Limitations / who it's not ideal for

Exmark is strongest as a dedicated mid-mount mowing machine. It doesn't offer the multi-season versatility of a front-mount implement platform, so it's a summer-focused tool.

How it compares to Grasshopper

If you want one machine for mowing and snow, dirt, and leaves year-round, Grasshopper's front-mount system does more. Exmark wins on pure high-volume cut; Grasshopper wins on all-season capability and reach.
