Hustler Raptor XD 60

If you've got three to five acres and you're tired of spending your whole Saturday mowing, the Raptor® XD is worth a serious look. The 60-inch deck cuts a wide swath on every pass, and at up to 7.5 mph you'll knock out what used to take half a day in a couple of hours. That's not a sales pitch — that's just what happens when you put the right equipment on a property this size.

Hustler didn't cut corners on the structure. The one-piece 1½" x 3" welded tubular steel frame and 10-gauge fabricated steel deck are built for the kind of regular use a larger property demands. We've seen mowers with lighter decks show their age after a few seasons in Pacific Northwest conditions — the wet grass, the clumping, the uneven terrain. The XD's welded construction holds up better over time.

The 24 HP Kawasaki® FR730 V-Twin is a well-proven engine — dependable, easy to service, and parts are readily available if something ever does need attention. That matters more than most people realize when they're shopping.

The bolstered high-back seat with armrests, lumbar support, and seat sliders isn't a luxury item on a large property — it's a practical feature. Mowing three-plus acres on a flat, hard seat gets old fast. The rubber floor mat reduces vibration through your feet, and the foot-operated deck lift lets you change cutting height without stopping and climbing off the machine.

SmoothTrak® steering gives you precise control around trees, fence posts, and flower beds without jerky overcorrection. The 20" VersaTrack® drive tires provide good traction and stability, which you'll notice on any property with even modest slopes or soft spots.

Ideal For:

• Properties in the 3–5 acre range with open mowing areas
• Homeowners who want a quality residential mower with commercial-influenced construction
• Properties with obstacles requiring precise maneuvering
• Anyone who's been spending too much time mowing and wants that back
