[QUOTE="SlugSlinger, post: 3117968, member: 7248"] I have a hustler and have had no issues with it. What I would look for are hydraulic pumps that are not built into or part of the wheel motors. My wheel motors and pumps are single units, one for each wheel. I think this is standard on a residential level equipment and may not be in this price range, but that is where I would start. Also, stay away from Kohler motors. I pulled apart my aunts 26 hp kohler hat had less than 400 hours and found the crank rides directly on the aluminum engine housing and it doesn’t use any kind of bushing or bearing. I will post a diagram showing this if I can find it again. She has a Gravely, which is a bullet proof mower. Why they use a junky motor, I will never know. Ask the dealer what the life expectancy is for a kohler. If they are honest, they will tell you 500 hours. Stick with Kawasaki engines! Also, get a thick steel fabricated deck. [/QUOTE]
