  • Full Review on my 2023 Hustler Raptor XDX 60" that I bought earlier this year. If you buy the XDX with a 60" deck it comes with a 24hp Kawasaki engine. One thing you may not know is the XDX comes with the same deck as the Hustler Fastrak which is a commercial grade mower and therefore a commercial grade 10-guage fabricated deck. The XDX comes with a 3 year/300 hour limited warranty for residential use. I looked at other zero turns like the Bad Boy ZT Elite, Bad Boy Maverick, Scag Liberty, Scag Freedom, and the Cub Cadet ZT2. The Hustler Raptor XDX is a great mower - I hope you enjoy the review.
    Here is the part number for the deck assist lift I installed on my XDX:
    Hustler part number: 127403

    I like your channel just found it. I do a small lawn care business, and refurbish and resell mowers. I love a Hustler I got last year for $200. I restore it with $800, a commercial fastrak 52 with Honda motor. If I ever upgrade it will be staying Hustler!

    Great review. I'm stepping up to the XDX for the same reasons you mentioned. Hava a 42 Fasttrac I bought new 25 years ago and maintained myself. It is still running well. We recently bought 26 acres. I will need this for the homestead area. I have a Kobota 3560 tractor for fields so this hustler should last 25 years like its predecessor.

    This raptor mowe looks way better then the about 2015 hustler raptor sd model i owned. The deck opening on it would clog up too quickly when I would be cutting a tall Bermuda grass yard.

      I have 2016 RaptorSD and had the same issue. They make conversion kit to reinforce the opening so you can cut the bottom bar off of the deck opening (stupid design on that deck)
      I’m looking to upgrade to the 54” Raptor XDX But everyone near me wants $7099 for it 😢

    If you have several free tractors to mow with, why spend $7,000? Not understanding logic.

      I used to power wash my deck as well, but then someone told me it’s hard to get the deck completed dried out and it can cause rust and corrosion. And to be careful around the deck spindles if they are hot after mowing
