THE TRIMSTAR HYDRO-WALKBEHIND
But where to begin?
They’re not easily discussed, these new TrimStar Hydro walk-
behinds, their benefits many, their advantages everywhere.
So pick any reason why… productivity, ergonomic ease
of use, quality of cut and accessibility to tight lawn
spaces, simplicity of maintenance… and let that be
your rationale for running the most innovative,
most technologically advanced walk-
Behind on the market today. The
TrimStar Hydro WalkBehind
will deliver. And we’re
now about to count
the ways.
• The newly-designed,full-floating decks
offer the highest-quality cut and finished
appearance on the market.In side-discharge
or mulch, theTrimStar Hydro will produce an
immaculate lawn

SOMETHING NEW IN A WALK-BEHIND!
The look it leaves behind.
The TrimStar Hydro’s full-floating decks lead directly to grass
straight from Sunday afternoons on The Golf Channel: uniform,
perfectly cut, striped, flawlessly finished. An air-flow kit, stan-
dard on all TrimStar decks, does its part for these immaculate
lawns by minimizing blowout, as does the optional Roll-On™
striping sulky. Optional deck-mounted catchers and grass-guz-
Good times. Even better times.
Hustler TrimStar Hydro mowers will help you break records for
productivity.They will take hours off even the most tedious and
time-consuming mowing jobs, thanks to Hustler’s patented
H-Bar™Plus steering system. With H-Bar Plus, the mower
glides over the grass, tightly controlled without effort, steered
and slowed without strain, as cruise control holds the TrimStar
Hydro at ideal speed. Meanwhile, spring-loaded control handles
make adjustments a quick flick of the wrist.As blade-tips whirl
at 18,000+ fpm for enhanced quality of cut and maximized
production in wide-open spaces, the TrimStar squeezes into
backyards and little cul de sacs, around shrubs and trees, cutting
close, reducing time on the weed-whacker.
“H” for Hustler.
“H” for hydro.
“H” for hassle-free.
All the expected Hustler considerations for
ease of operation and maintenance are here,
and some new big ideas as well. The TrimStar
Hydro’s drive system, for example, is a study in simplicity: the
integrated IZT transmissions are essentially foolproof, with no
hoses to leak as a transmission lever sets the built-in parking
brake or slides the transmission into drive or tow. Sealant in the
drive tires almost eliminates flats, and semi-pneumatic tires up
front eliminate flats entirely. Deck heights — with cuts arriving
in .25” increments from 1.25” to 4.5” — adjust in seconds,
through four pins at the corners. All operator controls wait
within arm’s reach, the steering fully adjustable for height and

responsiveness.The operator-presence safety system (yet another
soon-to-be-patented Hustler exclusive) requires no squeezing,
no gripping to engage. Because the TrimStar is first and last a
Hustler, expect a blade spindle proven amid 35 years of durable,
reliable service. Expect bearings that refuse to waste horsepower
as heat, that shove power where it belongs, toward cutting grass. Natu-
rally, expect no daily lube points.
And behind all this technology stands the strongest
warranty for walk-behinds in the industry: two years
parts and labor, three years on the front caster fork
bearings and on the blade spindle bearings, a
lifetime on the leading edge of the deck.
Oh. And money in your pocket.
Discount, if you wish, all the operational benefits a Hustler TrimStar
will bring your way. Forget its performance, its ergonomic comfort, its
advantages up and down the line. Just think of this mower as you would
any other hydrostatic, floating-deck walk-behind.And then buy on price
alone. Fact is, the TrimStar costs less than any wannabe competitive units.
