Councils that want to keep public green spaces attractive and accessible to residents and visitors need industry-leading lawn management equipment.
Hustler Mowers have been developing mowers for decades and as a leader in the sector, local governments that use their machines can benefit from reduced repair costs, and improved work speed and lawn quality.
The company has a rich history that began in 1964 when John Regier, an innovative engineer, developed the world’s first twin-lever zero-turn mower.
This groundbreaking invention was inspired by the need for a more manoeuvrable riding mower, capable of efficiently navigating around obstacles. The result was the Hustler mower, named after the US Air Force B-58 Hustler bomber, known for its speed and agility.
The introduction of the zero-turn mower revolutionised the lawn care industry. Its unique design allowed for unparalleled manoeuvrability, enabling operators to turn on a dime and significantly reduce mowing time. This innovation set a new standard for efficiency and performance in lawn care equipment.
Excel Industries, based in Hesston, Kansas, recognised the potential of Regier’s invention and began manufacturing Hustler Mowers. This partnership marked the beginning of a new era in lawn care, with Excel Industries scaling up production to meet the growing demand.
Over the years, Hustler Mowers expanded its product line, introducing various models for both residential and commercial markets, each building on the legacy of the original zero-turn mower.
For 60 years, Hustler Mowers has remained at the forefront of the lawn care industry, consistently pushing the boundaries of what is possible. The company’s commitment to innovation is evident in features like the SmoothTrak™ steering system, which offers precise control and smooth operation, and the HyperDrive cooling system, which reduces the temperature of the oil in wheel motors to extend the life of the hydraulic system. These features come standard on Hustler Mowers’ Super Z HD and Super 104 models, and the VX4® deck technology, which ensures superior cutting performance and commercial durability.
Hustler Mowers’ zero-turn technology and wide cutting decks allow for faster mowing of large areas, significantly reducing the time and labour required. This efficiency is crucial for commercial landscapers and municipality managers who need to maintain extensive properties and public spaces.
Built with heavy-duty frames and fabricated steel decks, Hustler Mowers are designed to withstand the rigours of frequent use in demanding environments. This durability ensures long-term reliability, reducing downtime and maintenance costs for commercial and municipal operations.
With adjustable cutting heights and powerful engines, Hustler Mowers can handle various types of grass and terrain, making them suitable for diverse applications such as parks, sports fields, and roadside verges. This versatility is essential for maintaining the varied landscapes found in municipal areas.
Ergonomically designed seats, suspension systems, and easy-to-use controls enhance operator comfort, reducing fatigue during long mowing sessions. Comfortable operators are more productive and can maintain high-quality work over extended periods.
Safety is paramount in public spaces. Hustler Mowers come equipped with features like roll-over protection systems (ROPS), seat belts, optional rear-discharge cutting decks and emergency shut-off switches, ensuring the safety of both operators and the public.
With a rich history of innovation and a commitment to excellence, Hustler Mowers is poised to continue its legacy for many years to come, providing reliable and efficient solutions for commercial and municipal lawn care needs.
