Hustler Raptor Zero Turn Mower

Hustler Raptor Zero Turn Mower application

The Hustler Raptor zero turn mower is a residential model with four available engine configurations. The motor options are tied to the deck size, and there’s the 36″ Kawasaki FR541, 42″ Kohler 7000, 52″ Kohler 7000, and 52″ Limited Kohler 7000. The Raptor drive system offers a dual hydrostatic, HydroGear AZT transmission that cuts at up to 6.5 MPH. The Hustler Raptor also offers a patented automatic parking brake system. It’s a convenient system that automatically engages that parking brake when the operator opens the steering levers.


Besides its engine alternatives, the Hustler Raptor zero turn mower offers heavy-duty welded 3.25″ x 1.5″ 11-gauge steel on their 36-inch, 42-inch, and 52-inch decks and fabricated frames. Hustler’s exclusive SmoothTrak steering offers very precise steering. In addition, the Hustler Raptor zero turn mower offers SmartChoke technology that basically handles everything behind the scenes—just turn the key, and it starts.
