Hustler SD Issues Fixed??

[Craptor Owner]

I'm new to this forum and about to buy a new 2020 Hustler SD. After reading about the many problems of throwing belts, breaking or bent bolts, transmission bracket breaking/slipping i've had some concerns.
So i visited a Hustler dealer and carefully looked over an SD. Every bolts was schedule 5 (3 hash marks), that was good to see. Transmission bracket was updated and very strong.Ease of oil change had plenty of room for access and easy to do.

Am I wrong or has Hustler made lots of improvements over the last few years,. The dealer (of course) said that they have made huge improvements.

Think I'll buy a 54' SD.

My 2018 had grade 5 bolts also. Still have broken frame brackets and all bolts were tight when removed to replace them. Replacement brackets are exactly like what was removed so I question an upgrade to the quality of steel used. Someone had mentioned the SDX has a much heavier bracket set and I will look at an SDX when I drop the mower of for warranty work once again.
