Just to give you an idea. Although small, this rider seems quite stable on inclines.

How about on a 37hp. kawasaki? On a 2011 Super Z. What Hp would you end up with after conversion? How much would that conversion cost? Really curious.

Here in the states around $795 plus labor & any extra brackets and such. I would guess HP would be similar since that is the highest HP listed for Hustler.

Terry metro whats the name of your company? Are you ALT fuel?

Oh yeah how about removing gas tanks and mounting to large propane tanks on it like i have on my Ferris IS3100zp. I would prefer it to all be done up there in the states prior to me shipping it down here. I will talk to my dealer in the states and see if he would be willing to put the conversion on. or maybe your company could, dont know still havent made my mind up yet. I just really like hustlers!

That would make it too wide I think. Thats a really clean install. What kind of run time are you seeing on that particular setup?

Right now with my ferris I have 2 tanks on either side came from factory like that. The tanks take 7.2 gallons each. That gives me about 10 hours of cut time i believe; maybe a little more. Mind you here I am not running stricktly propane! down here they use butane. The closest propane mixture is: 60% butane, 40% propane. Butane burns at 300 BTU's higher than propane which could explain my better G.P.H. My guys prefer my old 2005 hustler! to the New ferris they say it cuts through thicker grass faster and better than the ferris. When I worked the machine the first week I also noticed that the ferris didnt like cutting extremely high and thick grass where the hustler eats it up. Thats why I need to duplicate the propane set up on a hustler.

What altitude are you working at down there?

Not high, probably between 600-900 feet ASL. So you think it would be too wide? The ferris config is pretty good. You think the control arms would hit the tank? I dont want a super z if it has to be gas cause gas is $12.00 a gallon down here. propane or butane is; $4.00 a gallon divide by 2 to get U.S dollar $6 and $2. Let me know your oppinion. Thank you.

Maybe on a 52" or larger deck it would work. I just looked at my Scag 48 and it would definately be wider than the deck. 10 hour runtime would be just fine for me. Do you have tanks delivered or a bulk tank you refill from?
