I Was Told Hustler Is Testing 34 Hp Kawie

[REALSLOW]

Sign me up for a 72 come spring if it all tests out ok !

Liquid cooled I'm assuming?

Where'd you hear that? Dealer tell you? I assume its a horizontal shaft.

No Kawasaki has got a new monster vertical shaft air cooled motor coming out and Hustler is testing it in a super Z.

PLEASE tell me this is true and not just some rumor. I sent PJ a thread in the Hustler forum a couple weeks ago on this very topic. He had no idea if Hustler was doing anything with it.

Yes, it is a 999cc vertical shaft, air-cooled, carburated engine. The only real drawback with Hustler is lack of 30+ hp engines. If this big Kawasaki gets the nod, I WILL get at least a 66" if not the 72".

You should buy a Z2 or a Cub tank.

I figured that engine would chart in at 37hp or so... guess not.

I know a 34hp will be a hit with Super Z owners, as all of them say the power is needed.
But personally, I think they need to stay focused on DECK testing/R&D.

I say who cares if it's 34hp?... Wake me up when they build one that CUTS GRASS

They cut grass beautiful if you use the deck for what it was designed to do. They designed it for FLorida so I am real happy but I will more than likely be swicthing to the Z2 because of that top notch fertilizer salesmen support!

I really never thought Kawi would be the one building this 1L A/C engine.

I hope the rumor IS true, but I just purchased, so unless other items are improved (maybe a new northern deck, etc), I'll likely have to stay with what I got for at least another 3 seasons.
