For local governments managing recreational facilities and parks, maintaining public green spaces is about more than just appearances – it’s about accountability.
With limited budgets, lean crews, and growing expectations from the public, local governments must prioritise efficiency, reliability, and long-term return on investment in every equipment purchase.
Equipment downtime, uneven mowing, or repeat passes over the same area can quickly drive up labour costs and delay maintenance schedules. Over time, this affects everything from resident satisfaction to field readiness for recreation programs. The right mowing equipment is a critical asset in delivering consistent services with fewer resources.
This is where Hustler Mowers comes in, offering high-performance solutions tailored for the demanding needs of public sector mowing operations. Two standout technologies – the VX4 Deck and the HyperDrive System – help councils maximise productivity while minimising maintenance and downtime.
The VX4 Deck: Built for consistent, clean Results
The VX4 Deck is Hustler’s flagship mowing system, purpose-built for operators who need speed, durability, and a consistently high-quality cut across varied conditions. It combines four key performance features; versatility, velocity, vacuum, and volume.
Vacuum
The VX4 Deck’s engineered vacuum effect lifts each blade of grass upright before cutting, ensuring an even trim from edge to edge. This is especially valuable for maintaining professional-grade parks, athletic fields, or municipal properties. An adjustable front baffle allows operators to fine-tune airflow to match turf conditions, delivering optimal results in all seasons.
Velocity
The VX4 Deck supports ground speeds of up to 25 kilometres an hour, enabling teams to cover more ground in less time, without sacrificing cut quality. Its deck shape reduces clogging and buildup, cutting down on cleanout time and keeping crews moving.
Volume
Thanks to a larger airflow tunnel and discharge opening, the VX4 Deck handles a greater volume of clippings with ease. Even distribution eliminates clumping and reduces the need for double-cutting, saving valuable labour hours and improving the overall finish.
Versatility
From open fields to tree-dotted boulevards, the VX4 Deck is built to handle it all. Reinforced with seven-gauge steel and tested on varied terrain, it withstands hidden obstacles, uneven ground, and the rigours of daily use.
The HyperDrive System: Extended life and lower maintenance
For fleet managers, reliability and maintenance costs are top concerns. Hustler’s HyperDrive hydraulic system is engineered for long-term durability, with heavy-duty components and advanced cooling features that extend machine life.
Heat Management and Durability
Overheating is a leading cause of hydraulic failure. HyperDrive addresses this with an oversized aluminium oil cooler, a 22-centimetre fan with integrated directional shroud, and a hot oil shuttle line – an exclusive feature that actively routes hot oil away from the wheel motors to maintain optimal operating temperatures.
Premium, Industrial-Grade Components
- Danfoss DDC-20 slipper piston pumps for high-pressure performance
- Parker TG high-torque wheel motors with reinforced axles and bearings
- Stainless steel hydraulic lines with leak-resistant SealLok™ fittings
- A large three-gallon (11.36 litre) reservoir with internal filtration and easy drain access
These features work together to reduce maintenance needs, lower the risk of system failure, and extend the usable life of the mower. With a five-year, 3000-hour limited warranty, the HyperDrive System is ideal for councils aiming to stretch capital investment.
A smarter investment for public spaces
For local governments managing parks, sporting facilities, and other public areas, Hustler’s VX4 Deck and HyperDrive system offer more than just performance – they offer a smarter long-term investment. Fewer repairs, faster mowing, and more consistent results help teams stay on schedule, stay under budget, and keep public spaces looking their best.
