    10 Year Old Raptor Bogging Down

    Wow guys, thanks for all the responses! There are a lot of suggestions and will take under advisement but probably try draining the tank (again, the professional I took it says they did that) and replace the fuel line(s). We are at the end of season and in a drought but did mow this property...

    10 Year Old Raptor Bogging Down

    Unknown, it’s a first generation Raptor I believe without an hour meter but it’s used in a residential setting. Probably use it 6 months a year for 18 hours a year so I would estimate 180-200 hours total.

    10 Year Old Raptor Bogging Down

    I have a 2013 Hustler Raptor with a Kawasaki engine that bogs down under load in high grass and I have to slow down to let it recover or it acts like it’s going to die. I’ve had it happen once coming up out of a culvert without mower engaged while pulling a leaf picker upper attachment. The...
