I personally have a Hustler with the Kawasaki engine. We have a Kubota Diesel and a Bad Dog at work. Hustler and Kubota are cutting machines, not so much on the Bad Dog. I am probably going to personally buy another zero turn this winter also and I am either getting the Hustler Super Z, Hustler Fasttrak, or a Gravely. I tell you, BC has me thinking about a Spartan now.
