Hustler Turf Equipment Introduces Electric Zero Turn, Other Products at GIE+Expo

Hustler Turf Equipment is pleased to announce that the company will expand their product lineup by introducing mowing products with advanced technology and design at the 2008 GIE+Expo.

Leading the product introductions, Hustler Turf is debuting the Hustler Zeon, the world’s first all-electric zero-turn riding mower for both consumer and commercial applications. This mower’s cost-saving power source and quiet operating sound will create great change in the mowing industry.

Hustler Turf Equipment will showcase four other new or re-designed models at GIE+Expo:

Hustler Sport
For the homeowner who wants Hustler quality at an affordable price, the Hustler Sport is the answer. This zero-turn mower features a 3-gallon fuel capacity, SmoothTrak steering with patented automatic park brake system and a two-year, limited warranty – parts and labor. Two configurations will be available – a 17.5 horsepower Briggs & Stratton engine with 42” deck, as well as a 21 horsepower Briggs & Stratton engine with 48” deck. 

Hustler M-1
The Hustler M-1 is perfect for the commercial cutter who wants Hustler quality in a trim mower. This commercial-duty, 21-inch trim mower utilizes a twin blade mulching system, a heavy-duty yet lightweight cast-aluminum deck and an extra-large discharge opening. This allows for better flow and distribution of grass clippings, improving mowing efficiency and finished appearance.

Hustler ATZ
Already a popular Hustler Turf model, the ATZ has been re-designed for enhanced performance and safety. With increased horsepower and a tilt mechanism for driver comfort, this all-terrain model is built to increase productivity with an emphasis on safety.    

Hustler TrimStar Hydro WalkBehind
With improved features, the re-designed commercial walk-behind TrimStar offers users a heavier-duty transmission than before, along with improved handling and stability. The re-designed TrimStar also provides a one-step height adjustment system, with a deck lift that has just one lever instead of several sets of pins. To cater to a variety of needs, three deck sizes will be available for the TrimStar – 36”, 48” and 54.”  Additionally, Hustler will offer an electric start option for the 54” configuration.
