I'm looking at getting a Hustler Fastrac ZRT. I mow 4 acres that is going to turn into closer to six next year when I plant grass around my tree rows.

Anyway, I was thinking of going with a 54" deck but my cousin who is in the lawn care business said not to go bigger than 48" because I will just end up with scalping problems and its harder to get in between trees etc.

I talked to a local guy this morning who used to sell Hustler for a dealership that closed and now sells them out of his home. He said since going out on his own 2 years ago, he has never sold a 48". He also said that all he has in stock are 54" decks and that he can sell me a 2011 54 at the same price as a 2012 48 with the same warranty. I'm going to go take a look in bit but I would really like some advice on this matter before I go.

Thanks!

I do almost ALL my mowing with a 72 inch deck on my Z...
If you are scalping with a 54 or 60 inch deck, you need to do a bit of leveling, I've never had problems.
Hustler mowers are Great... :smile:KennyV
