Has anyone out there had any experience with the Hustler Mini Fastrack Zero Turn Riding Lawnmower...Either good or bad with the Residential or Commercial Model? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks BAW

If you're talking about XL Hustler mowers. The commercial ones are top of the line. I don't know about the residential ones. Hustlers were the first dual path hydrastatic zero turn mowers. They had a hydrastatic pump and motor for each side. The same as a skid steer loader. This allowed for less than zero turn capabilities without tearing up the grass. They also made [make] the hill side Hustler. The first one was the 402 with 4 wheels and the middle back wheel. This was updated to a six wheel drive model. The unique thing about these mowers was that the cab could be tilted either automatically or manually so the opererator was always level when cutting slopes. My dad sold commercial turf equipment for over 40 years. He had been the factory appointed salesman for Jacobson, Toro, Mott, Hustler and Ariens consumer products, mostly snow blowers. He set many world wide sales records because he knew his products and he knew his customers needs. He wouldn't sell them a lesser machine than they needed just to get a sale. Hustlers were more expensive but were one of the best machines ever made. The 295 model used a 2 cylinder water cooled continental engine. Very durable engine for a lawn mower in the 70's. The parent company of Hustler is noteworthy because they built roll bars for John Deere. I would think that Hustler still makes a good machine. There is a lot of competition today. Hope this info helps. Dave

Thank you. I've been around a few mowers in my time. My dad new more about reel mowers than anybody up here. He used to be on the board of directors for the turf grass college and would teach how to sharpen reel mowers. He was one of few salesmen that didn't have to leave his desk much because people would come to him. Now I remember it is Excel Hustler, not XL. Excel industries built the roll bars. Please remember that there are a lot of good machines on the market. Shop around. Dave

I have run quite a few of them, they are ok.There is nothing special about them. They are overpriced for what they are. They use the low end hydro, cheap parking brake pawl. I would stay away from them on any kind of larger hills, they are not very stable.There is hardly a machine in maufacturing that I have not operated, and it is just my opinion,but I would keep looking based soley on price,there are better machines for less money,better equipped.
