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

Announcing the newest trend in Z-riders:
THE SOUND BARRIER
The spoiler is not just for looks: the Hustler Super Z™ is fast, at a scorching 15 milesper-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 HydroGear 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.
The XR-7 Deck with
attached mulching
kit for flawless
dual side
trimming.
BE SIMPLE. 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.

Up top, the Super Z look s sharp and is a pic ture of ingenuity. It’s
incred ible simpl icity, dura bilit y, and patent- applied-for innovations
make thi s the fin est mower ever put into the grass.
Compare the H ustler’s construc tion to the competito r’s. Hust ler has
put m ore stee l in all the right places. And we stand behind i t with a
lifetime warranty on t he trac tor f rame and the leadin g edge of the
deck – the par t of the deck that takes the mos t abuse. Spindle-mo unt
areas are nea rly 1/2-inches thic k!
Versatility? The XR-7 deck will mow in any condition, any time of day
and p rovide the fine st finished appearance ever y ti me! These deck s
are configurable for different mowing conditions – fine cut, roug h cut,
mulch, catch, even Bahaiagrass is no match for the XR-7 deck.
When the Hus tler Z was introduced and then the Sup er Z shor tly
therea fter, they started a mini revolution in the lawn care industry.
Now, the Hustler Zs have been re-engin eered to be even better with
many refinements and i mprovements.
