How many Hours on Your Raptor/SD??

[Ric]

I get a kick out of all the warranty police on the Forum LOL!
I guess I just screwed myself out of my warranty on my Fast Track I just went over and mowed my sister's lawn cause she's out of town. Guess I blew my raptor SD warranty Last Summer mowing my neighbor's lawn while he was doing cancer treatment.....dang.... shoulda checked here first!

I guess when they say limited they mean limited. That little piece I posted came right from the raptor limited warranty. They say it's a three year 300hr warranty but in reality it's a two year parts and labor and the third year you pay for any labor and there not responsible for the engine from day one. You'll have to go to the engine manufacturer and you know what there going to do. The thing is it's not just Hustler it's all of them.

And over $182.00 an hour for you SD. I would love to make that kind of money.:smile:

UPDATE..
I just read my warranty and nowhere does it say that i would have to pay for labor after 2 years,and it also does not state anything about commercial use.
It however did state it would not be covered if used as a rental.

i am going to call the dealer one of these days and see what they say,,but the 3 year 300 looks to be on ALL materials and workmanship for 37 mos and shall be at the expense of Hustler,,other than engine and normal wear and tear parts like tires,belts,blades or idiot moves.

The dewd does the 90 lawns with two push mowers and a helper,,they are all small $25-35 lots and all within 7 mile radius,,very efficient route bro.
Some of them are every 10 days or so but you get the picture.
Thats one great thing about Jersey,you can have a very efficient route,,all mine are within a 7 mile radius as well,,with 90% of them in a 2 mile radius.

You can drop your gate once and blow out 5 lawns in 3 hours if you hustle...very little fuel and travel cost and the mower is not getting beat up on the trailer all day.

No sd but 54" with Kohler 700. Bought sept last yr and have 52 hrs now. Had the auto choke adjust and it runs like a champ now. Deck hangers are a little on the week side as I have tweeked them and deck cuts a smig uneven. Other than that love the mower.

Making 40k a year with a sd or a timecutter is easy. But if that's all I made I would find a new job.
The guys that only use push mowers here. Make big money. There are subdivisions that only allow push mowers. 20 minutes per yard for $75.00
I know a guy that parks his truck at 7:00am and gets back in it at 8:00pm five days a week. Runs a 3 man crew

Here is the PDF Hustler Warranty for the Raptor and it's the same as the SD.

No,it is not the same warranty as the SD,,my warranty paper is totally different,,Home Chepo must have just posted the raptor paper and not the SD.
