With Hustler's track record on these raptor mowers both the standard and SD models...I would avoid this thing like the plague until I heard some user feedback on'm...lots of complaints on the Raptors...and I think Hustler could have built a good mower here with just a lil deeper deck...doesn't make alot of sense to me.

you just put a pin into the balloon - ugh
I was thinking that this Raptor flip-up would be ideal for me, and it has a better seat with armrests. mobility issues are part of the challenge for me, so this unit would make the maintenance a bit easier... or so I thought. the Kawasaki 23 hp engine I like. hmmm?

I tried to get one early in the season and was told production was delayed until September 2015 - I got a Fastrak instead. The flip adds $1000 to the cost of the Raptor. I still might trade mine in at the end of the season for one.

I have not checked the dealership lately. I'm getting pretty comfortable with my Fastrak, it's been so dry all summer no grass has been sticking to the deck, and I only change out the blades once a year.
