Good morning!
Just found this site. I have to admit...I bought a Hustler Raptor SD sight unseen...heh. I was tractor hunting for my first tractor and I made a really tough decision.
I had been wanting a tractor with an A/C in the cab for a lot of years. I never owned a tractor before... only have 2 acres at the house, but we own a ranch in S. Texas that is a little over 330 acres, so I felt it would be helpful in this heat.
Well, I mean the minute I picked up the phone to buy my tractor, I made the decision to downgrade...because someone put an idea in my head..."Hey, why not get a smaller tractor, with no cab, no backhoe...and get a nice zero-turn mower instead...?"
It was about half the price, came with all the bells and whistles....and now, I have a 60" Raptor SD that, I am told, can mow like nobody's business.. heh.
It was the right decision.... half the cost, no a/c...and now, I am really take care of my lawn. This thing is a beast, from the looks of it.. heh
So...I have a question, go figure. I got a canopy for the tractor...and I see pictures of the Raptor with a roll bar and canopy, but I do not see anywhere that sells a roll bar for this thing and a canopy.
Anyone else ever gotten one ordered and where from?
Sorry, not many pictures yet, just unloaded it yesterday
uh oh... been reading the forums and seems this thing can do a lot more than just mow.. heh. Sorry, I am old school.. always used a push mower or the simple ol riding mower.
So.... show me the pictures of all the stuff you do with your Raptors etc? Curious if it aerates or can rake....I need more grass to grow, but wanted to "comb" the ground to make ruts for the grass seed first, maybe get all the dead stuff up.
