Although a fairly new model in the Hustler line, I assure you all that the Hustler X-ONE is a full commercial machine, I have one!!! It has a Kawasaki FX730V engine and a 60" rear discharge deck and is used for cemetery service. This machine weighs 1,260 LBs dry!!! The X-ONE i is a newer model with hydrostatic drive units, never operated one, just looked one over at a local dealer. The cemetery takes 2 1/2 days to mow, and if the farmer who hays the open area doesn't show up, then this machine has 5 acres of hay to mow and it does a fine job of it. when I took delivery of it in Aug 2012, the dealer had already delivered over 40 X-ONEs, all with rear discharge decks, that summer and delivered another 80, about half with rear discharge decks in 2013, 2014 isn't over yet. I demoed five or six different machines before purchasing the X-ONE and none compared to the X-ONE, it has the slow speed handling when needed and the high speed when needed. Because the older part of the cemetery is 200 years old, nothing is lined up, small, large, corners, stones all over the place.
