I can't praise a Hustler mower enough. To this day its the mower every one else is trying to copy but build cheaper.
You can't build cheaper and not loose quality. I've owned four of them so far. All bought used, and never spent money on a repair not counting normal maintenance, belts or blades. Yes they are expensive but with the internet you can find them used for half the money. I use a big dealer who sells 100s of Hustler, Scag and a few others. I buy trade ins from him that have gone through his shop and they've had every inch looked at and all oils and filters changed, parts updated or replaced as needed etc. In other words, used isn't bad if its been taken care of. Especially when its a solid well built machine to begin with.

I'll tell you a little story.
Neighbor has a Cub Cadet ZT. Wanted my kids to mow his yard for him with his Cub while he was away for a few weeks. Didn't take long and my kids were bitc...complaining about having to use his mower. Second time they were to go over to mow they had a big argument about it. It had to get done and the grass was growing fast. I decided I'd take my two Hustlers over and get the job done faster with three mowers if I run one to. Like me he has acres and acres to mow. Them darn kids unloaded the Hustlers and took off a mowing, leaving me standing there looking at the Cub. Looked like a nice machine. Found out quick what was wrong with it. Rough riding, under powered, herky jerky hydro levers but the worst part was the handles were so far forward from my body, I soon got a back ache having to drive with my arms fully extended in front of me. It was sooo uncomfortable to drive. After a half hour I parked the machine and let the kids finish. The third time we mowed I brought my own mowers again and never even started his up. Again, its a zero turn and it looks cool BUT IT AIN'T A HUSTLER! I'm sure there will be others on here defend their Cubs but I'm convinced they just haven't had a good mower and don't know the difference.

Today's Featured Article - The Day Mom Drove the 8N - by Brian Browning. My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o ... [Read Article]
