Hustler Raptor XD 54

The Hustler Raptor XD 54" is built for homeowners who need more mower than the entry-level options can deliver. With a 23 HP Kawasaki FR730 V-Twin engine and a 54-inch fabricated steel deck, it handles properties up to five acres without breaking a sweat — or breaking down halfway through the season.

Built to Last, Not Just to Sell

That 10-gauge welded steel deck isn't just a spec — it's what separates a mower that holds up over years of Pacific Northwest conditions from one that rusts out after a few wet seasons. The continuous 1½" x 3" welded tubular steel frame gives the XD a solid foundation that you'll appreciate every time you cross uneven ground or clip a hidden root.

Comfortable Through Long Mowing Sessions

A bolstered high-back seat with armrests and built-in lumbar support keeps you comfortable when a "quick mow" turns into a full afternoon. The rubber floor mat absorbs vibration underfoot, and the wider operator stance gives you room to shift and adjust without feeling cramped. These details matter when you're putting real hours on a mower.

Performance Where It Counts

The dual hydrostatic Tuff Torq TZ350 transmission delivers smooth, responsive control at speeds up to 7.5 mph. SmoothTrak steering makes tight work around fence lines, trees, and landscaping feel natural — not like a wrestling match. The foot-operated deck lift adjusts cutting height from 1.5" to 4.5", so you can dial in the right height without reaching for levers.

The 20" VersaTrack drive tires provide solid traction on slopes and damp grass, which matters in our corner of the Northwest where "dry mowing conditions" aren't always an option.

Easy Maintenance Access

The flip-up seat pan, removable floor pan, and vented pulley covers make routine maintenance straightforward. You'll actually do the maintenance when it's not a hassle to get at the belts and blades — and that's what keeps a mower running strong year after year.
