You're not lying, there. That's a mean mowing son of a buck! I love to hear these big twin engines just beller like a damn dragster, while it's throwing grass about 10 to 15 feet away from it. Sounds good!
Love the mower man nothing lime a hustler I do like the SCAG and Ferris also but the hustler has the turning and in my opinion they cut great if they could do a mower that has hustlers turning, scags cutting, and ferris suspicion it would be one heck of a machine bit I have owened a lot of mowers and I wouldn't own anything else other then a hustler bit everyone has there opinion on lowers and how there perform thanks for the video thinking about upgrading to a commercial of I do decide to mow commercial any idea which hustler is better as far as commercial cutting
+Gregory Winfree Thanks. There were many times I wouldnt of wanted to be on a different machine. But many many times when I wanted to burn it to the ground! A love v hate relationship! lol
+C Winfree Yard Care Well that is why Hustler is considered pro level equipment. Those blades are doing about 18,000 rpm, and that is the difference between this machine and a box store riding lawn mower with a 42" deck and blades turning less than 5,000 rpm.
Tough question. I like the machine itself but Ive had problems with the deck clumping in longer/thicker damp grass. Ive had to modify the deck by cutting out a piece at the rear of the discharge chute and add a "turbo baffle." Grass builds up on the rear of the chute then drops to the ground leaving a clump and or windrow. That has been super frustrating and maybe enough to say no, I wouldnt buy again. But I love the hydros and the the ride so, tough question.
I expect this mower will last several seasons with decent care. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkx1VWTrayKBdCKAjzAcZ_Eg4dhHTae3LkN also recommend Also, I ran across the problem with it not starting the 2nd time I used it. There is a safety switch which is pushed in by the chute or mulching piece being attached to the deck. I took the cover off and it wouldn't start. Put it back on, no problem. It takes only a minute with 2 easily accessible wingnuts and no tools. This mower starts up first crank each time and it is a joy to use. It also mows in reverse by putting the key to the reverse area after starting and pushing in the triangular button. It will stay in reverse mode until you turn it off. All in all, for my homeowner needs, I really like this mower-and at 70 bucks a cut here in Miami, it's already more than 1/3 paid for itself in a month.
I want a Hustler ZTR. Fine job! Screw these idiots commenting about how to mow, they're just the type of hypocrites who talk shit on the net. For god sake this looks like a tropical jungle of coarse there will be grass left!
YIKES! I see where the mower scalped the ground. The John Deere Z930M is an all around better mower. It processes grass faster and it ALWAYS leaves a BEAUTIFUL cut. The John Deere Z930M is more of a beast than that Hustler!
I am thinking about getting a zero turn mower. I have 10 customers and I probably can get 15 more...do these mowers cut well, meaning do they leave clumps of grass? Right now I use a self propelled push mower and I bag it. Sorry for the long paragraph.
Depends on the lawn, conditions etc. Watch my other vids. Best advice I can give is demo REALLY well in different conditions and see if it works for you.
Scag, Hustler or Kubota? Trying to decide. Looking between $4000 & $6000 at most. Not looking to get into mowing for a living but will more a few yards to pay for it.
Not cutting too short, the grass was long and wet! It had been over a month between cuts, middle of growing season in one of the wettest years anyone around here had seen! This isnt a customers lawn, its a part of mine. Watch the other vids!
That was a pretty gnarly yard but the Hustler seemed to handle it pretty well. Those are made pretty much in my back yard so we see them a lot here. Did you go have to go back over it and bag it up?
What are these front wheels called? I know it's great for speed and bumpy properties. Anyway just curious, I rip on of these everyday and am trying to learn more.
The front forks on this are called Flex Forks. They are Hustler only I believe. A few mower brands have their own version. If you want comfort, look at Ferris or Scag Cheetah.
No comfort needed but these flex forks really allow you to go fast man. Anyway thanks for the tip. I also have a ferris but it's on it's way out. About 950hrs on it. If I get another mower it will be the hustler for sure.
Haha...my Husqvarna 54 inch cut with the Kawasaki FR 730 24 HP would be crawling in that grass! I have 3 acres of grass like that and I can't let it go for more than two weeks. But for the price and what it is the little Husky does ok but it has to work it's ass off. That Super Z would cut my mowing time by over an hour..probably more.
wow really that sucks ive had good luck with my grass hopper n my bad boy wet grass always sucks anyway lol that shit was mega wet to haha be cool bro later
The blades Im using here at Excel (Hustler) branded blades that came with the machine. I have another vid about blades and sharpening! I sharpen pretty much daily depending on work load.
How many hrs on the z these days,sorry man i ask everyone this? Its like asking how many miles on ur truck,just pride and bragging rites the higher they get
Richard Mogel ha! Using my mower now I'm already losing life expectancy lol. Literally takes me like 4 days with a walk behind field mower. Thing is a pig!
Drive the casters up on to car ramps, jack up rear end and place on stands making the machine as level as you can. Get yourself a large tray, big enough to hold the amount of oil. I learnt the hard way, with panic finding another tray. I think its around 10lt. (or you could pump the oil out of the tank), Remove filter from underneath which will drain the oil. I dont remember if theres a drain plug, if there is, use it first. Replace filter, fill with oil. Start machine with it still on the stands. Slowly push levers forward then backward for a few mins to get any air out of the system. Check oil level and that should be it. Its really quite easy but be sure you have a large enough or back up trays on hand before you start. The plastic "nut" thing on the filter can round off so just be aware of that. If you have a 6 sided (impact) socket, maybe use that as your average socket wont get much hold on the plastic.
Ok not to be rude but what is with hustlers crap cut quality in your videos ive seen and run scags exmarks and gravleys and never had this happen is it the deck design or what? Thanks
+Shane Yadon Looks ok to me. That stuff is like 4 inches tall and wet. You can't go back and forth like that and not expect to have grass laying on the ground. I mowed a yard with my gravely and had to mow some areas twice to chop up any extra grass laying on the yard. That was a good 5in of grass though, but it was dry.
+grasscutter88 I wasnt new to mowing when this vid was made in fact, this vid wasnt about the deck, just a mowing vid! More about showing off how well it cut really thick, heavy wet grass. I thought it actually did pretty good in this vid all thngs considered. It was saturated! It was after things dried up, grass was on the regular cycle that the deck showd its true colours. If youve seen the other vids you'll knw what im on about. I wasnt making it up. Thanks for watching!
Southern Side Lawncare Do you have a full suspension seat? If not, get one of those first, the newer type. If you have the seat then the FF's will make an even bigger difference. I would certainly recommend them for sure but, get the seat first!
+Will Bridge I would go with Scag. They cut better and are more durable and are easier to service. Scag uses cast iron spindles and has grease points everywhere instead of the sealed maintenance free bearings in the hustler. Just my opinion though.
Southern Side Lawncare Its the price you gotta pay dude! Trust me, in the long run, its worth it! Mowing rough ground can really damage your back so do anything you can to help. Buy the seat first, its only a couple hundred more. The seat is a necessity, the forks are a luxury! You'll thank me for it!
Heeyy I'm in Georgia and it has never rained for a month..still ain't gonna mow when grass is damp/wet. I keep my Hustler showroom tight after every use..my yard only.
Southern Side Lawncare How tall are you? If you dont get the seat you will get shorter due to your spine compressing down on each bump! Well, I dont know for sure about that but some days thats what it feels like! ha
mickihippy looken good, these people below think their lawn experts because they have craftsman lawnmower and mow their lot and the neighbors. been in this situation before only thing I did different was charge the customer and extra 20 for waiting for me to mow the lawn.
William Todd My first ride on was an JD LT155. As business changed/grew, so did the machines. Use what you have and upgrade when possible. The sooner you can get onto even a small commercial mower the better. Start saving!
Here in Florida we mulch everything .It feeds the Lawn and adds a layer of topsoil above the sand . Mulching with a Commercial Mower Like a Toro Z will create 40 percent of a lawn's annual fertilizer needs
You're not lying, there. That's a mean mowing son of a buck! I love to hear these big twin engines just beller like a damn dragster, while it's throwing grass about 10 to 15 feet away from it. Sounds good!
Now that's what I'm talkin' 'bout! That thing plows right on through that thick wet grass. Looks great doin' it too.
I cut grass with a super Z too and whent to the Gator Blades and my Z cuts 25 time's better then it did before it really helped a lot
Ive used the G6 blades and get terrible results except for when light bush hogging or slashing though. There great for that!
Love the mower man nothing lime a hustler I do like the SCAG and Ferris also but the hustler has the turning and in my opinion they cut great if they could do a mower that has hustlers turning, scags cutting, and ferris suspicion it would be one heck of a machine bit I have owened a lot of mowers and I wouldn't own anything else other then a hustler bit everyone has there opinion on lowers and how there perform thanks for the video thinking about upgrading to a commercial of I do decide to mow commercial any idea which hustler is better as far as commercial cutting
That things a beasts I must say. It's giving that wet grass hell...love the video.

It's cutting the wet deep stuff really nice.
Jeremiah love call but
tina miller STOP DOING THAT
tina miller but
That 37 hp is a beast!!

How come you quit going in a circle and started discharging to the outside? It actually looked great until you did that?

You get it mate! Thanks for watching!
Heaps of moisture in that grass too.
You are great at cutting grass I need a few tips from you and by the way what kind of lawn more do you have naw
YIKES! I see where the mower scalped the ground. The John Deere Z930M is an all around better mower. It processes grass faster and it ALWAYS leaves a BEAUTIFUL cut. The John Deere Z930M is more of a beast than that Hustler!
Logan Moses. Yes but you paid 2 to 3 times as much for a JD.
I totally understand that...I deal with the exact same issues lol...keep those vids coming
That was amazing! Thank you so much for uploading this. This is really useful!
No problem! Thanks for watching!
I LOVE ZERO TURN MOWERS!!!!!!!!!!😃
+Yvonne Cauley I love when the grass stops growing! And Round Up!
Thanks for watching!

My pleasure mate! Anything else? I can get you part numbers for those blades if you need them!
Not cutting too short, the grass was long and wet! It had been over a month between cuts, middle of growing season in one of the wettest years anyone around here had seen! This isnt a customers lawn, its a part of mine. Watch the other vids!
thats a tough lawmower!
How is the Kawasaki holding up?
I saw where you mentioned you wish these had the 35 hp Briggs Vanguard engines. Are they good engines? I've never owned one.
MrEcm51 yes, the Vanguard engines are the best engines Briggs and Stratton makes.
That was a pretty gnarly yard but the Hustler seemed to handle it pretty well. Those are made pretty much in my back yard so we see them a lot here.
Did you go have to go back over it and bag it up?
Yep, the VX4 deck. Liked the XR& better! I would of been using the stock Fusion blades that came on the machine.
its hard to see, is this the VX4 deck? are u using the stck blades or after market blades?
American made in Hesston Ks great place to work.
Im in Australia so paid way more than what you would. Its 60" deck 37hp Kawi.
What kind of oil would your recommend...and thanks for the tips you have been very helpful and inspired me to get a Hustler...Happy New Year boss!!!!
Synthetic. Mobil 1 It will be in the manual. Happy New Year to you too and good luck!

A Kelly Just be sure to demo really well before handing over he money!
Amazing! That is one clean cut. Any secret there or is it all in the deck? What pitch do you have the blades set at?
hello, did you buy or make the discharge shoot lid on a chain?
what do you charge for that yard? I stick with lots in the 8000 sq ft range.
+grasscutter88 This is free! Its part of my own yard!
Haha...my Husqvarna 54 inch cut with the Kawasaki FR 730 24 HP would be crawling in that grass! I have 3 acres of grass like that and I can't let it go for more than two weeks. But for the price and what it is the little Husky does ok but it has to work it's ass off. That Super Z would cut my mowing time by over an hour..probably more.
Lawn mowing 101 do not run over grass you just cut as much as possible. Unless grass is really short and around house ect.
hey bro fkn up that wet stuff what blades you runnin ?? did you ever try gator mulching blades i love them babies that all i use now
Ive used all types of blade. Gators are hopless on this deck unless its for bush hogging type of job.
wow really that sucks ive had good luck with my grass hopper n my bad boy wet grass always sucks anyway lol that shit was mega wet to haha be cool bro later
What kind of motor does that mower has??
Have you had any problems with it?
How fast does it goes?
Nice mower!
Romero lawn care
35hp Kawi
Yes, the coils needed replacing at 500hrs
Its goes fast enough!
Thanks
What kind of blades do you use and how often do you sharpen them
The blades Im using here at Excel (Hustler) branded blades that came with the machine. I have another vid about blades and sharpening!
I sharpen pretty much daily depending on work load.
How many hrs on the z these days,sorry man i ask everyone this? Its like asking how many miles on ur truck,just pride and bragging rites the higher they get
Mother of God in want this mower! I have LOTS of acreage. I don't have 10k 😕
Could always sell a kidney or a testicle
Richard Mogel ha! Using my mower now I'm already losing life expectancy lol. Literally takes me like 4 days with a walk behind field mower. Thing is a pig!
MadMetalManiac74 time to upgrade man
Richard Mogel looking at a more affordable kabota zero turn machine possibly.
MadMetalManiac74 zero turns are nice machines my parents have a cub cadet zero turn.
Hey Mickhippy do you know what would be a direct fit replacement engine for the Kawasaki 37hp??
Hey Mick what's the best way to change the hydro oil & filter???
Drive the casters up on to car ramps, jack up rear end and place on stands making the machine as level as you can. Get yourself a large tray, big enough to hold the amount of oil. I learnt the hard way, with panic finding another tray. I think its around 10lt. (or you could pump the oil out of the tank), Remove filter from underneath which will drain the oil.

What did you pay for that bad boy and is it a 60inch?
Thanks mate. It goes pretty well.
Ok not to be rude but what is with hustlers crap cut quality in your videos ive seen and run scags exmarks and gravleys and never had this happen is it the deck design or what?

Dude those seats alone r 500 bucks here. And forks r what like 300 haha I'm gonna be broke just to get my mower to ride good:)

Why you pushing the grass onto the building...big no no!!!
casting was off your pattern was almost perfect.
Thanks! It is what it is!
why are u mowing wet grass that will clog up your air because that's what I did and when I got home it wouldn't start and I had to take it apart
Whooaa that is one thing I will never do..cut damp grass never.
If it rains for a month and you get a couple of days break, you mow!
Mowing wet grass doesnt hurt a (commercial) mower. You may of got water in the fuel or something!
You wont survive as a commercial mower then! Just no choice sometimes!
Heeyy I'm in Georgia and it has never rained for a month..still ain't gonna mow when grass is damp/wet. I keep my Hustler showroom tight after every use..my yard only.
I don't have a manual...would it be 20w50 or 15w50???
15w50 Mobil 1
nice
Not bad for a low end mower!
Nice
Alright alright I just gotta get a few more yards so I can pay for it
Southern Side Lawncare How tall are you? If you dont get the seat you will get shorter due to your spine compressing down on each bump! Well, I dont know for sure about that but some days thats what it feels like! ha
How much is one of these
Depends on what part of the world you live in. Call your friendly local dealer!.
they price anywhere between 8000 to 11, 000 dollars.
Thanks mate !!!
James Cowans 11k?! For a fucking mower?
he mowed the lawn 2x's in 10 min man !!
def need to bag bud
kkkk
Are you feelin
Been j had

Scalped

😰
lol, scalp that lawn.
Just not professional, you need to collect the cuttings. Here in Germany you would be out of business very quickly
Funny, was in business for 20+ years. This is my own lawn.
Aside from walk-behinds, there are basically no mowers on the market that come standard with a catcher.
Here in Florida we mulch everything .It feeds the Lawn and adds a layer of topsoil above the sand . Mulching with a Commercial Mower Like a Toro Z will create 40 percent of a lawn's annual fertilizer needs
Yeah that's in Germany. We do things differently here. Lots of people cut long grass this way all the time
nice
