new mower purchase

[turkey4090]

I have recently purchased additional property that I will need to mow. In total I will have between 3 and 3.5 acres to keep mowed. Currently have about 1.5 acres and it takes me about 1.5 hours on an old tractor style riding mower. What Hustler mower would you recommend me to purchase? Keep in mind, I want a mower that is going to durable and last a long time.

We need more information, what type of mowing? rough? weeds? fine cut? slopes / hills?
How often are you cutting it all?
Whats your budget?
What are your limitations in deck size? will you be able to get a larger deck in all the areas? and will a larger deck unit fit where you will be storing it?
Let me know and I can help.

I have no slope, very few trees & plenty of storage space. I would like to keep costs under $6,500 if at all possible. I will be mowing the 1.5 acres weekly and the other property at least every two weeks if not every week. The smaller area is all Bermuda and the larger has a few weeds but not bad. Thanks in advance for your information.

A 54" FasTrak Super Duty would fit your needs pretty nice.
Plenty of hp, a good size deck and should fit in your budget pretty good.

Just purchased the Fastrak SD 54. They are delivering it tomorrow. Looking forward to many great years of service. I got the flex forks also.
