I purchased my 10 year old Fastrak,Honda 44" for $2300 and have been very impressed with it's performance. Not having experience with a zero turn, I was hesitant in traversing fairly steep slopes without the threat of flipping sideways. With it's low center of gravity all it would do was slide when reaching the max pitch. Obviously a solid and safe design. The newer Rapter units (equal to my price range) seemed less durably designed so I opted for a used but well kept machine. I brought it to a Hustler dealer for hydraulic pressure balancing but overall I am very pleased with my purchase.
