I recently purchased a Hustler Fastrak with a Kohler 7500 Pro EFI 27hp. It also has a 54” deck. Has anybody had any experience with this setup? I was also looking at the Hustler Fastrak SDX but I was concerned that the Kawasaki 22hp may have been a little underpowered. After cutting some thick grass with the Fastrak, I’m wondering if it is underpowered. It didn’t like the thick grass. I had a bad boy that struggled a little with a 23hp but not like the Fastrak.

Also, check the level and pitch of your deck. Level side to side and pitched down a bit in the front. 1/8” to 1/2” down in front. 1/4” would be a good place to start.
My hour meter doesn’t show the rpm like the one on the bad boy did.Your engine RPMs could be a little low. Check and set to 3,600 rpm no load conditions.

You can buy a decent digital unit off of Amazon. One that has an alligator clip for attaching to your spark plug wire. One that only gives the RPMs.My hour meter doesn’t show the rpm like the one on the bad boy did.
If it’s under warranty, contract your dealer and explain what’s going on with the unit.
