THE HUSTLER Zs: BE DIFFERENT. BE BETTER.
With an extremely wide footprint, the lowest seat height in the industry,
and idealized placement of weight over the drive tires, Hustler Zs & Super Zs
both deliver superb machine balance, resulting in improved traction and
exceptionally responsive handling. In fact, the new Hustler Zs & Super Zs
handle better on slopes than any other midmount rider. Because of its heavier
construction the Hustler Zs & Super Zs will perform like a mountain goat on the
most intimidating inclines.
At the same time, the Z incorporates all the details of Hustler design,
the extra added touches that distinguish this mower from any other
Z-rider out there.
• Thicker foam padding on steering levers for ideal comfort in
any operating position
• Seat and steering levers are adjustable to guarantee a perfect
fit for nearly any operator
• Very high blade-tip speed for superior quality of cut and ideal
distribution of clippings
• Cutting heights from 1” to 5” in 1/4” increments.
• 1” spindle shaft for maximized durability
• Oil cooler with cooling fan on the Super Z
Demo a Super Z or Hustler Z today.Waiting for you will be the most durable,
most productive, most feature-rich Z-rider on the market.At one of the
industry’s lowest purchase prices among 60-inch-deck models – legendary

Announcing the newest trend in Z-riders:
TH E SOUN D BARRI E R
The spoiler is not just for looks: the Hustler Super Z™ is fast, at a scorching 15 miles-
per-hour, the fastest z-rider on the market. While the Super Z makes quick work of
even the largest, most obstacle-prone mowing jobs, it delivers a professional-grade
cut, a finish that belies the speed of the mowing. From the toughest front caster forks
in the industry to the day-long 14-gallon fuel capacity, the Super Z has been built for
speed. Large Hydro-Gear hydraulic pumps and White wheel motors draw power from
fuel-efficient, high-horse Honda, Kawasaki, or Kohler engines. An oil cooler protects
the hydraulics, dramatically extending the system’s life at top speed.And – with its
wide stance and low, low profile – the Super Z clings goatlike to slopes, stable and
sure, as flat-out productive as on the level straightaways.
Like the Super Z, the Hustler Z™ has been built tough in an almost military way.
Heavy-gauge rectangular tubing for the mainframe, drive motors mounted to welded
steel, roller bearings for the front caster mounts, high-horse engines up to 725 CC,a
12-volt positive-engagement starter, dual hydrostatic traction drive with big Hydro-
Gear pumps and Ross high-torque wheel motors – the components of a mower with
long, hard use on its mind. No other mowers can match Hustler Zs in the unbending
strength of their frames, front forks,decks, and blade spindles, each supported by
warranties with serious teeth.
Hustler Zs are quick out of the shop too, with the simplest maintenance requirements
in commercial mowing. As you’d expect with a Hustler, the warranties are anything
but fast – a full two-year bumper-to-bumper deal, parts and labor, with a lifetime
guarantee backing up the frame and leading edge of the deck. Even the hydraulic
hoses and fittings are guaranteed to never leak!
That loud boom which often accompanies the arrival of Super Zs in the
neighborhood?
Pay it no mind.
BE SIM PLE. BE STRONG.
The Hustler Zs bring along all the toughness, all the
durability, all the proven reliability of legendary Hustler
engineering. A patented automatic park-brake system
makes the mower’s starting sequence much more
natural and instinctive, and it greatly enhances the
mower’s overall safety: easier engagement of brakes
on slopes, simpler and safer dismounts with the engine
running. When the steering levers are placed in neutral
position (folded out), the automotive-style drum brakes
are engaged. Simplicity itself!
Everything about the Hustler Zs have been designed
for trouble-free long-term performance. The Hustler
Zs are simply the strongest, most ruggedly durable
midmount riders ever built.

BEAUTY, MORE THAN SKIN DEEP... BE STRONG. BE SIMPLE. BE SERVICEABLE.
Hustler Zs and Super Zs have already built a reputation for the easiest maintenance in the
industry: fast, clean, and simple. With no daily lube points and fast, easy accessibility to all
maintenance areas, the Hustler Z keeps you on the job, out of the shop, in the money.
•Maintenance-free sealed bearings on the front-caster-wheel forks and
the biggest ball joints in the industry, bar none
•Hinged foot and seat pans for easy service access
•Single-belt drive for reduced maintenance (compare with dual-belt drive
on most competitive models.)
•Engine service points located at the rear of the machine - oil filter and
drain can be serviced with a single pan, with no danger of fluids spilling on belts
•Sealed bearings on the spindle shaft – lubrication required only once a year
•Simplicity rules! Raise the seat pan and deck pan and marvel at the lack of “stuff”!

Up top, the Super Z looks sharp and is a p icture of ingenuit y. It’s
incredible simplicity,durability, and patent-applied-for innovations
make this the finest m ower eve r put into the grass.
Compare the Hustler’s construction to the competitor’s.Hustler has
put mo re steel in all the right places. And we st and beh ind it wi th a
lifetime warranty on the tractor frame and the leading edge of the
deck – the part of the deck that takes the most abuse.Spindle-mount
areas are nearly 1/2-inches thick!
Versat ilit y? The XR-7 deck will mow in any condi tion, any time of day
and provide the finest finished appearance every time! These decks
are configurable for different mowing conditions – fine cut, rough cut,
mulch, catch, even Bahaiagrass is no match for the XR-7 deck.
When the Hustler Z was introduced and then the Super Z shortly
thereafter,they started a mini revolution in the lawn care industry.
Now,the Hustler Zs have been re-engineered to be even better with
many refinements and improvements.
All the Hustler hallmarks are still here,though.

• Lifetime warranty on the leading edge of the deck
• A full 2-year, bumper-to-bumper warranty – parts and labor!

operator comfort at higher speeds. Mow faster,
get done sooner.
Flex Seats™ “like a rocking chair
for your mower”deliver greater
operator comfort preventing “back-slap”
caused by a rigid seat over uneven
terrain. This allows for greater
operator comfort at higher speeds.
Mow faster, get done sooner.
