FasTrak

Introducing the FasTrak™, a mower intended for the residential marketplace but built to commercial standards of durability, performance, comfort, and quality of cut.

Performance
The FasTrak is true to its name. The FasTrak mows with a professional quality of cut at a brisk seven miles per hour. It moves nimbly around obstacles. Slopes are just not a problem. And the FasTrak trims close to sidewalks, trees, birdbaths, and flower beds — much, much closer than any front-steer tractor should ever attempt.

The FasTrak features a choice of 16, 18, or 20-hp Honda engines or 18 or 20 - hp Kohler powerplants. 44"or 52" side-discharge decks produce a beautiful cut.  Optional Mulching Kits and side-mount catcher are available, also.

Durability
Here’s where the FasTrak’s commercial pedigree asserts itself: day after day, mowing season after mowing season, the FasTrak will do the job. The frame, deck, spindles, and caster wheels are the toughest in the estate-class industry, (so tough, in fact that Hustler offers a lifetime warranty on the leading edge of the welded-steel mowing deck). This might be the last mower you will ever need to buy.

Comfort
In terms of its conveniences, the FasTrak is operator-friendly in the extreme, comfortable in the way that only mowers meant for all-day, everyday use can be. For all its power and speed, the FasTrak is amazingly easy to own and operate. And the Fastrak’s simplicity is the basis of its comprehensive safety and serviceability. Many FasTrak features are identical to the Hustler Z and Super Z™ including an automatic park-brake system built into the steering system, a foot-operated, spring-assisted deck-lift system, and a 12.2-gallon fuel capacity.

HUSTLER Z™

The Hustler Z™ may look like other mid-mount z-riders, but that’s where the similarities end. Featuring the toughest construction in the industry, the Hustler Z sports the strongest frame, front caster forks, deck, and blade spindles on the market. In fact we offer a lifetime warranty on the tractor frame and the leading edge of the mowing deck.

The 60" side-discharge deck features very-high blade-tip speed, high-lift blades, and 6 anti-scalp wheels to produce a beautiful finish. Mowing heights can be changed from 1" to 5" in 1/4" increments with a simple foot-operated deck lift. Over 12 gallons of on-board fuel capacity keeps you mowing longer than any z-rider in the industry.

Hustler innovation provides an integral park-brake system. When the steering levers are placed in the off (folded-out) position, the park brakes are engaged. This feature makes the starting and stopping sequence much more natural and instinctive. Operator does not have to remember to disengage brake to drive nor engage brake before starting.

Landscape contractors have discovered in recent years that, for most residential and many commercial jobs, size does matter. Introducing the Hustler Mini Z™. At 72" in length, it’s the most compact mini on the market.

The Hustler Mini Zs’ merge compact size and high horsepower— the smallest footprint coupled with the biggest engines in the class, in fact. The Hustler Mini Zs work from a wide stance with a low center of gravity that no would-be competitor can match. Handling on slopes is sure, confident, non-slip. The Hustler Mini Zs address the needs of the landscape professional, delivering comfort, safety, and ergonomic support throughout long days on the job. A comprehensive set of features unique to Hustler make these mowers the most convenient, most accessible, most easily and safely operated in the mini class.

• An automatic parking brake system—a simple and straightforward starting sequence; enhanced safety in starting on slopes; easier dismounts—no protracted gyrations to engage brakes, clutch, or engine ignition, as with competitive machines
• Automotive-type drum brakes, as opposed to band brakes on competitive models
• Spring-assisted, foot-operated deck lift for fast, simple adjustment of cutting height, negotiation of curbs, and movement on and off the trailer.

The Mini Zs from Hustler will demonstrate their true worth over long mowing seasons. Year to year, their ease of maintenance, their rugged durability, their ready-when-you-are reliability will prove again and again the legendary value of Hustler design, Hustler craftsmanship.

• Lifetime warranty on the tractor frame
• Lifetime warranty on the leading edge of the deck — the part of the deck that takes the most abuse.
• Stainless-steel, high-pressure lines between hydraulic pumps and motors—no deterioration as with competitors’ hoses.
• Dependability, of course, shows itself over time. Serviceability is a day-to-day issue. And no other mower in the class comes close to Hustler Minis’ absolute simplicity of maintenance.
• No daily lube points—and only seven zerks altogether — compare to competitors’ 16 lube points and more
• Maintenance-free sealed bearings on the caster wheel forks.
• Maintenance-free blade spindles
• Easy, open access—through hinged foot and seat pans, for example—to components needing service
• Full engine service at the rear of the machine—easy changing of oil and filter with no danger of spills on belts
• Heavy-duty air cleaner for reduced costs, lower maintenance, and longer engine life

New Hustler Super Z™  

Built for speed, built to last. Top speed of the Hustler Super Z™ is 15 mph, making this the fastest z-rider on the market. In fact the Super Z even comes standard with a spoiler!

The Super Z gains its flat-out performance with Hydro-Gear BDP21 hydraulic pumps and White CE 18 wheel motors powered by your choice of several engine options. Other unique features include a hydraulic oil cooler for extended system life when operating at high speeds.

The Super Z features all the other great features of the Hustler Z such as a foot-operated deck-lift system, the toughest frame, deck, and front caster forks in the industry, and a park brake system that is integrated into the steering levers. Also, like its brother the Hustler Z, the Super Z is unmatched in slope-handling in the z-rider class.

The Super Z offers a choice of either 52", 60" and 72" side-discharge decks. Add the 9-bushel BAC-VAC™ catcher or the new three-bag catcher from Humboldt for a clean finish spring, summer, or fall.

• Vertical-crank engine means simple, direct-drive to deck. No mule drives, no gearboxes
• Vertical-crank engine sits lower in frame for lower center of gravity and better slope performance
• Clean, compact design. Much more compact than competitive units
• Engine mounted sideways for serviceability and compactness
• Super Z™ productivity and speed – 15 mph!!
• SmoothTrak™ twin-lever steering with patented automatic park brake system
