Mower question

[Carver2]

I am currently looking to buy a lawn mower. Has anyone had experience with Hustler zero turn mowers? I am looking at a Raptor flip up model. Last summer I bought a Toro SWX 5050 & have nothing but trouble with the deck staying hooked up. I'm kind of soured on zero turns, but I like her the time they save. The Hustler looks rugged.

I'd appreciate any feed back.

Thanks,
Carver2

Have you read all the issues the Raptor is having? Lots of good stuff on here.

I've owned a couple Hustler zero turns, but not a Raptor.
Owned a Hustler FasTrak for 4 years before upsizing to a Hustler Super Z that I've owned for 4 years now.
I've never a single issue with either machine.

My neighbor owned a Raptor for a year and had issues with the deck supports getting bent and transmission mount bolts breaking.
