Aside from checking on the blades being installed correctly, are you running the mower at full throttle for the entire mow? This may seem to be a dumb question but I've known a few people run the mower at half throttle to save gas and complain about the cut. These machines are designed to be...

I would think the first place to check will be the fuel pump or a blockage in the main fuel line?

I'm guessing he found the problem?

I'd check the obvious items such as build up under the deck, this can be the number 1 cause in reduced discharge performance, blade angle should be around 30 deg which is recommended, are the blades worn to point that they have lost a bit of length or height to the sail. Make sure you run at...

First I would call the dealer since the Super Z is a year old. As for the cause, it's possible it had been slipping while engaged and overheated the clutch then shorted the electrical line to the clutch and thus popping the fuse and shutting down the machine... IMHO. A qualified mecanic should...

I wanted to pass along my experience with "cross blade" setup that I use on my 2020 Hustler Fastrak SDX with a 60 inch deck. With a G6 gator blade on top and the standard Hustler blades on the bottom my clippings are 1/8 to 1/2 inch and discharge is three mower lengths away! I cut when the...

Thanks, Cheers GB

For my Fastrak SDX with a Kawasaki FX730V engine and 60 inch deck the manual has the minimum and maximum rpm settings but no mention if this is done under load or no load. Would anyone know which condition would be correct for setting the engine RPM? I've not had a response from my dealer on...

Afternoon John, There are a few support handles on the market, just search for "Support bars for zero turn mowers" like the one below.

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...

Update, my local dealer ordered and replaced the fuel sending unit yesterday. So far it does not act erratic and operates as it should. Lets hope it stays that way!! Cheers, Glenn

Have you checked the regulator?

Will do, they picked it up on Friday as we should know something early this coming week. Glenn

I don't use water unless it is necessary and it hasn't been necessary so far. If I wash any mower it is completely dry before I park it.

The fuel gauge was working fine for the first 5 hours of use, it became erratic and would read normally once the mower moved around a bit. Now it shows empty with a full tank. Apparently this is nothing new to Hustler mowers from what I can see on most of the web sites. The dealer will pickup...
