Hello Ron, the X-one is a very good machine from what I have heard. I have a 2020 Fastrak SDX 60 inch now for 1 month and so far this is a very good zero turn mower.
Hello All,
I have a Raptor 42" purchased in 2016. Has been fine except the paint is peeling off the deck in large pieces. I've checked online & see I'm not alone with this issue. Has anyone else had any luck getting this problem fixed by dealer / Hustler?

Here is another version of this idea patterned after some of Hustler's 2021 models. The factory model is below.
Here is my version with a bit more area cut out on the discharge side.
Here is the left side of the deck.
These still provide enough support that you can step on the covers without any flexing.
Stay safe out there!!

Hello all,
Just upgraded from a Husq 24v48 to a Raptor XD 42". I'm new to the Zero Turn world having never driven one in my life. I'm sure I'll figure it out quickly.
Anything I should know about this model? It's a new redesign for 2021 so maybe not enough out there yet.

Welcome. Unlike garden tractors, all ZTMs will more easily slide when traversing a hill. Be VERY careful on wet grass, or near features like lakes. Lots of safety videos on YouTube you can/should watch.
I am a proud owner of a Hustler Sport since 2008 and the machine has performed flawlessly since new with a re-powered B&S 21hp Intek engine installed professionally. I've religiously changed the oil/filter (annually), valve cover gasket, newer head gasket, one rear tire, two spindles and always lubed and sharpened the blades. The mower is used on my small yard and has been always covered and still looks new and performs amazingly
Few days ago, I encountered a bizarre problem. I cut the grass last week and stored it like I usually do. This mower fires up every time on choke...This week when I tried to start it, the mower was completely dead. I took out my battery charger and multimeter and it read 12.7 volts and did a five minute trickle charge until it read full. I also took the battery to my local Autozone to have it tested it had sufficient volts (12.84) and 290 CCA. I read many FAQ's, forum posts, YouTube videos and decided to change the starter switch, both relays, starter solenoid since they were cheap and tested the three safety switches for continuity plus jumped them with jumper wire and still noting. I also tested the PTO switch with multimeter and switch is fine. I looked at coil which looked fine, wire brushed off the small rust on flywheel and still nothing. I also disconnected the black wire to coil to see if it would run when I used the remote starter to jump the starter solenoid and it just cranks and will not fire up (prpbably due to switched carb solenoid not coming on from relay) so the starter is fine. Same happens when I reconnect the black wire.
The wire harness looks perfect, no tears and all of the wire ties are in place. I tested the voltage at the ignition switch today and it read .84 volts. All of the grounds are clean and in place. Also the mower has had OEM Hustler halogen head lights and I recall them coming on when ignition is on switched position and the switch is turned to on but I do not have any lights when it's switched on. I am totally dumbfounded as nothing happened to the mower between my last cut and this week. Can anyone help? Thanks.
