Welcome to the Hustler Nation! :thumbsup:

Lets us know how you like it. I added a digital tachometer to mine, along with the flex forks (mowing for the first time with them after work today), muffler shield and engine guard. Your 60" should come with the engine shield and an upgraded seat standard. I also swapped the standard blades for Oregon G5 blades which I have used with my lawn tractor with great results. So far I have been very pleased.

I will definitely. Yes it does come with the engine guard and the dealer threw I. He striping kit although over winter I am going to work on making one like you can get on big league lawns. Let me know about the flex forks. That was so ring I was looking at as well. I'm excited that the dealer still had a few with the Kawasaki engine on them.

My Hustler Raptor SD 60" will be delivered tomorrow morning :smile:

Congratulations !!!! :thumbsup: You have done well, young ZTRrider(Joke)...:laughing:
Now enjoy the ride! Good music, lock the kids inside and pick up all the junk off the lawn.

We will be waiting for your field report on the unit after your first oil change. :smile:

Mowed with the flex forks today, and was able to mow at full speed in most places. It was a smoother ride and the results look great. Almost thinking I should have gone with the SD60 instead of the 54.

Let me know how the 60 mows, as far as smoothness and not scalping. I wish for a little more deck overhang. I have a couple of circular stone wall gardens around a flagpole and the well, and I can't go as close to the wall as I would like. The rear tires clips the stone wall and mess it up. The 60" wouldn't have that issue.

There have been mixed reviews with the flex forks. I am glade they worked for you.

As I was mowing, I was watching the forks rapidly going up and down, absorbing tons of bumps. That's less stress on my poor tired back! The lawn also looked smoother, no circles in the thick grass where you can see the blade went deeper from hitting a dip without suspension. The real test will be moving the back field, which is bumpier than the lawn. Its been in the mid-90's with high humidity for the past few days (heat index of 105), so I am staying in the AC as much as possible. The field can wait!

Don't know how Southerners and Floridians do it all summer long! My northern blood must be too thick!

Glad to see our mods are right on top of things. Not really surprised.
