Sounds interesting to me, but I have a couple of questions. 5.5hp seems a little under powered. Looked all over the web, can't find a price tag. Does Excell industries build this mower or is it a product manufactured by someone else with the Husler name?

I don't know, it came up when LMF found a picture of the mower on the Mojack lift and thought it was a Hustler so I did a search, I only found the thing on one site and it is not mentioned on the Hustler site that I can find. I'm wondering if they even make the mower anymore.

Did I read this right? The highest cut is 3.25 inches? I guess you can't cut St. Augustine with it, which should be cut no lower than 4 inches.

It's irrelevant as this mower is long gone. Many pushers top out under 4".
