Thanks so much, guys!

As Star said very few 48" decks will be 50" or less .
The blades have around 1/2" clearance so you are up to 49" INTERNALLY
Then the 2 sides of 1/4" to 3/16" thick steel adds another 1/2"
Most decks have a rubbing strip on the left side so there is another 1/2" and hey we are now up to 50"
Then there is the chute overhang
I am yet to find a deck other than Swisher where the discharge flap , even when folded fully back does not add at least 1 " to the overall width
So you are now at 51" and if you think you are going to drive in & out with only a 1/4 " each side, you are deluding yourself.
My trailer is 46" between the gates and I have to remove about 1/3 of the 42" decks off to get them in.
Not a single 44 " deck will drive in

U need a bigger Trailer.

Glad you like it!
Some guys have had problems with throwing the belt and miss-alignment of the Hydro's. The problem was lack of bracing between the Hydro's allowing the forces to twist the machine. Hustler did release an upgraded brace plus an additional brace. If you have these two braces installed you should not have any problems.



Some have also had problems with the discharge chute clogging and Hustler did release a modified discharged chute that I added as well.



This is #123349. Attached is Hustlers Product bulletin about this option.
