Happened to me too. Supposedly a lot of new Ferris this year were under greased. If you put the zerk fittings on, you'll need to pump a whole lot of grease on there to fill the tube, otherwise the grease won't reach the bearings. I ended up popping the black cap off and put a mixture of grease...

My dad left the key on. Lol. Now my Hustler apparently has over the 700 hours, when it probably has around 100. That's a dumb design.

The machine is 3 years old. Not used a whole lot, but used hard when we do. Cuts lot of tall grass. Anyways the crankshaft snapped off flush with the engine case. Why would this happen? And how hard would it be to just replace the crank? Click on the link for pictures : https://imgur.com/a/f1AfydK

i think my dad left the hustler ignition key in the on position, when we were dealing with a dead/low battery eariler this year. hour meter shows 400 hours, and last i remember, it should only have around 100. should i just buy a new meter? :rolleyes:

i've only mowed large lots before. i swung by my house with the raptor and trailer, and decided to use the raptor to cut it. i normally push cut it with my honda. whole lot is 1/4 acre. lol. the raptor cut the grass pretty nice, but oh boy does the grass shoot out too far with the oregon...

would like to hear some feedback.

He said it cut alright until he got to some thick stuff out back. I was telling him what a difference blades make and how you can cutout the opening bigger. I lifted the shoot to show him how i cut mine, and we find this. A good laugh was had. :tongue:

here's a few of the things i've done to my raptor. 2015 model with around 90 hours 1. cut the deck opening bigger. got rid of the angled part. also removed belt guards so grass dont build up underneath. notice the oregon gator blades, they work the best in my opinion for taller or wet...

i see hustler uses kohler 7000 series engines now on at least the raptor models. i'm not a fan of this decision, after my past experience with kohlers. what do you guys think of this move?

as in mounting 2 blades in an X orientation?

was mowing a field today and ran over a copper rod that was laying on ground. it got caught up in the blades and stalled the machine. luckily i was able to wiggle it out, and no damage to machine. even the blades didnt look hurt. those oregon blades are real tough.

:laughing: :confused2:

i wonder if you could benefit from a mulching kit. it would probably keep the grass suspended longer in the deck and chew up the grass more. Shop Hustler 54-in Zero-Turn Radius Mower (ZTR) Mulch Kit at Lowes.com
