I mow more than 100 properties a month with my Hustler Raptor 42, and have for the last 5 years. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Hustler mowers to anyone. As much abuse as mine takes, if you're buying one for home use it'll last you MANY years. Great video!

[@grandpadossfarms]

Thank you, I love hearing these stories. You are busy, my word that's a lot of properties. Appreciate the comment

[@braydenvandenberg8703]

I've been wanting to get a raptor for commercial use but didn't know if they'd hold up. Thanks

[@moebiwan]

@@braydenvandenberg8703 Update: my 42'' Raptor was such a workhorse that this year I bought a 54" Raptor and a 34" Surfer Pro. The only issue I have with zero turns is rear tire traction (the Surfer is a stander and doesn't have this issue), but that can be an easy enough fix.

[@braydenvandenberg8703]

@@moebiwan I was looking at the Surfer pros for my smaller yards but since there so new I didn't know what to think of them. Is it working out good for you so far?

[@moebiwan]

@@braydenvandenberg8703 That's exactly why I bought one. Mostly for back yards that the 54 can't get into. I use it on roughly half of my properties. I prefer to sit as I have a bit of a bum knee, but it has worked out great for my business. If I had any complaints, I'd like the ignition to be in a less awkward spot (it's directly under one of the hand braces), I'd like the rear tires to be wider, and I'd like smoother transmissions (it uses the 1800s, the same as on my old 42, and they can be a bit jerky). But those are minor complaints. It's built well, the cut quality is excellent for me (I cut a LOT of centipede and St Augustine), and the way the engine is mounted you can get to everything in a snap.

[@murraypetrone9893]

Thanks to you both for the very practical review. So so helpful and hits the mark with all the questions that most of us have when considering a purchase of a machine like this.

One of the best, honest reviews I’ve seen, regardless of brand. I’m currently researching to fill the exact same need. 1.5 acres and this will be my first ZTR after decades of lawn tractors.

[@caseyduvernay4020]

I have had my Hustler for 17 yrs and it is hands down the best purchase I have ever made.

[@999benhonda]

I bought last year's model, an SD...basically the same thing. I've put 135 hours on mine, solid machine. I do like the looks of the new "big bite" tires on the new models and the new style height adjustment is more convenient to use than what's on mine.

[@dennisfrazier7882]

Great review, I agree with you on every point and getting the best deal for the buck was the primary reason I bought the Hustler Fastrak 60” with the Kawasaki engine, in 2019. I lived in southern Oklahoma and mowed almost 7 acres, including my pecan bottoms. The hustler cut my mowing from all day7-8 hours on a conventional rider down to 3 hours. I did get the higher end seat and the flex suspension, not to mention it came with an electronic fuel gauge. Thanks for the review.

[@bernardcaillouet5565]

Thank you!

[@gregbagwell5543]

I bought a Hustler Fastrac I think twelve years ago, and have been very pleased! 20 HP Honda w/52” cut. It has been a low maintenance mower, and the yard I was mowing until recently was close to 1-1/2 acres, with some steep area’s. Mowing those steep sections of the yard was a little stressful at first, until you learn how your mower will best handle those types of situations. I would definitely recommend Hustler, and would buy another one.

[@creativeepicure]

Many blessings to you all.

[@unknowncomic4107]

I bought a 42" XD back in July. I love it! The smoothtrack steering takes some getting used to only because it requires very little movement of the steer bars but it is very nice. I dismount almost identically to the way Grandpa does.

[@grandpadossfarms]

Yes the steering is great but touchy. I try not to step on the deck as well. Nice mower

[@zedwpd]

I have a larger Hustler Z4 which they only made for a couple of years. I bought it new in 2010 and have been mowing on my 20 acres every year since and still love it. It has the big Kawasaki motor and has even more hardcore items like a floating deck with chains, flex fork front tires that is an added suspension device, rollbar, air ride seat, twin gas tanks, easy oil change and hydro changes. The thing is just great.

[@sherryswafford4561]

Thank you Sherry. Appreciate the kind words

[@Aron2roy]

Nice review. I have a 2014 52" model I've worn the deck out on, so ordered a new deck for it. I'd recommend dropping down those anti-scalp wheels if you haven't already. They come factory in the top holes which don't do a bit of good.

2015 Hustler Fastrak SD. 550 hours. Changed the deck belt last season out of caution. Still on factory battery. Been an absolute beast and has more than paid for itself. My lawn took 4 hrs with a John Deere rider. Now it takes just over an hour, and I mow 3 other lawns on my street with the extra time.

So good to know Eric. Makes feel like I made a good decision

[@wendymurphy2906]

Good, honest review Grandpa Ralph, much respect, and as you said research. When you revved up the mower though I half expected the front wheels to pop, it has power....and no Chad, that doesn't mean you can ride around and pop wheelies. LOL

Bought a Hustler several years ago & the best thing about it is the wife loves to mow with it. It also cut my mowing time by 1/2. It is very easy to mow with right out of the box but after using it for a few months you get to the point of really knowing what can be done with this mower making you like it even more. Just don't get too close to small trees when first learning to use this type of mower or you will be replanting them. P.S. Kids also love to mow with it.

[@tb40ford]

I purchased this mower this week and mowed today for the first time. A first time zero turn user I am and I’ll be honest . My wife watched me and she told me I had a smile on my face the whole time that I was on this machine. I’m about 1 1/2 acre I am so happy with this machine words can’t describe I work with a gentleman that has $10,000 grasshoppers and other brand mowers and he told me if he was going to buy another new mower the hustler would be his choice this was three years ago he told me this. I almost bought a 19 left over but I had heard the older frames possibly would flex so I’m so happy I chose to wait on the 2022 which looks identical to yours. As I said this is the first zero turn I have been on and I mowed this evening in 40 minutes. All I can say is Wow! Thank you and I will subscribe to your channel. My mower does have the flex forks Travis in KY

[@grandpadossfarms]

Travis that’s so good to hear. We haven’t even mowed here yet. Too darn cold. I looked at the mowers this year and yes exactly the same. Oh I wish I had the flex forks. I’m gonna order me some. First zero turn here too. I love it. That’s about all I mow too. These are rated 3 to 5 acres so should last a long time. Congratulations

Hustler was the very first and invented the zero turn mower in I think 1964. I bought a hustler 2500 72" and used it commercially for years. I can say being honestly I had it and used it every day when I finally retired this machine I had put well over 10,000 hours on it. Yes I did replace the engine once but, when I got rid of it I was sad... I still to this day regret letting it go, And that's been 8 or 9 years ago. My recommendation is that if you can afford a hustler mower buy it . Yes every mower company has issues but hustler is built way better .

[@EricLearnstoCook]

Great video. I bought the 48" Raptor XD about a month ago. It is the first zero turn I have ever used. I almost bought a 60", but U-Haul doesn't make any trailers with wide enough gates/ramps (and dealer wanted a ransom note to deliver to me). All in all, I'm happy. We have some steep slopes on my 2.5 acres, especially the ditches and a crazy slope leading up to the house. A few small areas I'll need to hand mow, but this thing rides great.. I like the power and ease of use. I'll likely add the front forks because riding over the septic drain field is like riding a bull or something. Like you, I wanted to maximize the mower per dollar spent. These are well built and designed machines. I'd be afraid of buying a big box mower. Congrats on your mower and your home. Wish you much luck.

[@grandpadossfarms]

Congratulations Eric, so far I'm very pleased. My land is pretty level. I'm definitely adding the other forks one day

Nice looking ride there, Ralph! The one safety item I see needing attention is the bolts holding the deck up. They stick up from the top of the base quite far. You should consider some sort of rubber capping for those. I am thinking of Adler and how much he likes "running" your machines! The bolts could put some serious hurt on those cute little legs of his! As to going 7 MPH, I would. My Dad used to call me Mario Andretti!

We own the Super Z 60" commerical mower. Its a 2011 Model and we maintain around 6 acres of uneven property. I can only compare ours to those I have used which is a Skagg and a Kubota. The Super Z is a cutting machine as far as speed goes and though other brands cut just as well I don't think they can keep up with the speed and durability of the Hustler. I have a friend who swears by his Ferris since the ride is supposed to be much smoother. But all in all it would be hard for me to switch to another brand without a good test drive!

[@tinaemmanuel4792]

I have this same model and He is correct on everything he says! It is more fun than work and we have 4 acres. Our last mower was a 1989 used Hustler with a 4 cylinder Ford engine. So it was a no brainer to stay with Hustler!!!!

[@graciemurphree8653]

I bought a 60" Raptor SD with the kawasaki engine in late summer of 2019. I mow almost 5 acres and was mowing with a Husqvarna 54" garden tractor. But this mower is so faster and more powerful than the Husqvarna that it cut my mowing time in half. Its so fast that I don't think I've ever run it wide open and its never been choked by heavy wet grass. The only issue is that there is no suspension so you will feel every bump and rut. I bought a large lawn roller that I pull behind the Raptor. Its filled with water and 50 lbs of sand. This does a good job of rolling down humps and bumps especially if the lawn/field is wet. And as with any equipment use high test fuel, change the oil, filters, and belts as recommended.

I've used the zero turn in the past for several years and liked it. Not on side hills, but flat yards and work great. Chad, when grandpa got ready to kick the blade in gear do you realize you were standing in the worst spot you could have. I just cringed. You get hit with what ever comes flying out of there and you will never do it again. This is out of love Chad. Please stand some were else. That engine is a good one. I have one in my mower. Thanks for sharing guys. Iowa is watching.

Great reviews, thanks!!!!

Great review, I was very close to buying one of these then I found spartan and fell in love in my opinion it is so much better of a machine.

To each their own, congratulations

Good morning guys. I’m new to your channel and I have to say I really enjoyed the review of the Hustler. I have been researching the zero turn mowers and this is the one that I have chosen. I have an acre .2 that I mow in East Tennessee and I use a yellow tractor type ( which I really like ) but I want to cut my time down with a zero turn. I might wait till spring to actually pull the trigger. Thanks guys.

Terry, I did a lot of research and I believe it's a very good mower. Not the most expensive and not the cheapest. And yes the zero turn and time savings is amazing

[@benjamingagne9357]

Probably the best review of the XD. I bought one a few months back. Have 20hrs on it and he is spot on with everything he said. I was also going for the most value for the dollar just liked you explained. Awesome work!

[@grandpadossfarms]

I really appreciate your comment Benjamin. Best value for the dollar is very good summation. Ty

[@austynscruggs6867]

What are they running price wise? I’m looking at getting a new zero turn and my family has a hustler for the last 10 years no problems but sharpen blades. Looking for a 54” to 60” depending on price difference

You know Ralph, them mowers are the best ride in town. No matter the brand i have ridden i enjoyed using them. A friend of mine who had a mowing business had several of these. My first time riding one was thru him. Sadly he passed away from Covid last year and his wife sold the business with the equipment. Was a sad day when he passed, but lots of good memories. Enjoy this new toy! I love to drive all the new toys another friend of mine gets including the big tractors lol. So i know how you feel! 😉😉

[@grandpadossfarms]

So sorry about your friend. What a tragedy. Glad you have the memories. I agree new equipment(toys) are the best

I have used a commercial ztr for 18 years on my home grass it runs 10 MPH but I seldom use that speed. You need really smooth terrain for that....I love mowing with this mower, I wish I had more property... It's a 61" Husqvarna, I mow a 1/2 acre with it in 16 minutes...Way overkill but I bought it used and when you do that you don't always get your choice...The next one will be used also...
