Hustler Turf Equipment Mini FasTrak™
Optional catchers help the FasTrak
and Mini FasTrak maintain a
professional quality lawn.
The Hustler Mini FasTrakTM is not exactly what it seems to be.
Zipping around a birdbath,accelerating across a wide-open
stretch of bluegrass,now disappearing through a backyard
gate,this mower follows in the storied tradition of the first
zero-turning-radius lawnmower ever built, a 36-inch cut,
homeowner Hustler originally sold in 1964.And now,40-some
years later, we’ve come full-circle together.
You need professional quality of cut from a durable,operator-
friendly mower with a footprint accessible to tiny,out-of-the-
way parcels of lawn.And Hustler has responded with the time-
saving productivity,the golf-course finish, and the minimal
maintenance that homeowners require. And all in a mower with
a most pleasant surprise on its price tag.
The compact,very affordable Mini FasTrak brings to
the mowing of smaller, tightly congested spaces all the
advantages of far larger commercial units, the Hustler mowers
proven across five decades of hard, hard professional and
governmental use.Look here for a lifetime of dependable
performance powered by Honda and Kohler engines,with
heavy-duty construction bumper to bumper on an over-built
frame -- no lightweight stampings,no occasional welds here as
is too often the case with cheap imitators.
Own the Hustler Mini FasTrak. And let the neighbors pretend
not to notice.
YOU LITTLE IMPOSTER, YOU.

LET’S CRASH SOME GATES The very first zero-radius-turning
lawnmower ever introduced was the Hustler 36. It was a 36-inch cut, homeowner mower first
sold in 1964.Now,40 years later, the Hustler has come full circle with the introduction of the
Mini FasTrak™ – a homeowner unit with a choice of 36 or 42-inch mowing decks.
With the introduction of the Mini FasTraks,now professional mowing is within the reach of
even smaller lawns.With 36 and 42-
inch mowing decks,more and more
homeowners will know the time-
saving,zero-degree-turning
productivity,the beautiful
finished appearance,and
the minimal service and
maintenance that Hustler
has made famous.
A FEW MORE REASONS WHY WE’RE THE BEST!
• Heavy-duty construction, – the Mini FasTrak’s over-built, welded frame alone setting it
apart from cheap imitators with their lightweight stampings and occasional welds
• 36”and 42” side-discharge/mulching decks that will produce the best
looking lawn in your neighborhood
• Foot-assisted deck lift system is designed to
be the easiest to use in the industry
• Adjustable (fore/aft,up/down) steering levers
for ideal positioning.
• Increased cooling capacity for the hydrostats
– no routine overheating on slopes as is the
case with would-be competitors
• SmoothTrak™ Steering – a steering system
that simply must be felt to be believed,far
smoother and easier to operate than any other
on the market
Along with a more compact size, the Mini FasTrak also carries a smaller pricetag. Contact your
local dealer to see how inexpensively you can bring professional mowing home to your yard.
With the compact Mini Z,gates are no
longer an obstacle to your riding mower.
