![The [MOST] Underrated Mower EVER? Introducing The Hustler Super Z HyperDrive](/img/1.gif)
The thing I like about rear discharge the most is going around trees on either side of mower deck and not having to worry nearly as much about shit hitting cars or basement windows.
Agreed! Thanks for watching
Good job Jonas. You have a real talent in public speaking brother. You can turn complicated into simple with confidence.
Thank you. I enjoy giving people an education! Thanks for watching
I have a canister filter on my fr equipped raptor sd. A pricey upgrade at $300 but worth it. The stock filter gets grass under it, blocking the drain holes, causing the filter to get soaked if it rains.
The canister filter upgrade kits are a big improvement. We appreciate your business!
Nice job on the Pros & Cons of the Hustler Fastrak Rear Discharge. All great points & Safety of a rear discharge is a key Pro & a very important Pro on the Hustler rear discharge decks. It is a huge benefit for municipalities, school districts, & mowing areas like boulevards where safety is big concern too👍 Great job! again.
Thanks Kent!
Great for cemeteries too.
NICE and informative! Short and to the point. I like it!
The ferris z1 comes with rear discharge with a mulch kit.
Been running gator blades for 15 years or more they are the best for my cutting have a lot of bahia grass in south an they eat it
Great blades! Thanks for watching
great video - I have this exact machine and love it - I'll check out those blades you suggested. thanks for the video
I am considering this rear discharge mower. I'm wondering your opinion of the cut quality on nice yard grass.
Each blade cuts it own grass, it doesn't pass cut grass from left to right. My blades last longer and all three are worn the same . Instead of right blade being worn more than the left. I use grasshopper rear discharge.
Thanks for watching!
Another great video Jonas!
Power Equipment Man, if you're still hanging around, I'd like to know how well the rear discharge deck mulch up leaves? Thanks!
I don't do very much mulching with it, but I would say it does average. Not great but not bad either. I do have gator blades on it which helps. Thanks for watching.
Hi, thanks for sharing, answers a few questions really appreciate it. That video of cutting long grass coming soon?
I plan on doing a video on mowing tall grass with it this spring. I didn't get a chance to do it last summer. Thanks for watching!
Can the deck be swapped out to a rear discharge deck from a side? I have a SD and it’s been great but definitely struggles like you said in taller grass if I miss a mowing. I have 6 acres to mow and sometimes it all doesn’t get hit on time. That rear discharge would be awesome and especially if I didn’t have to buy a complete mower.
There is no way that I know of to put a rear discharge deck on a SD.
After you cut the grass does it help to raise the deck up a little and go over the second time. I have to do that a lot with my side discharge especially during the heavy growing season. I am looking at purchasing a used 54 inch rear discharge thank you
Yes there are a couple of thick spots in my yard that I always double cut to make it look good. Thanks for watching!
I need to clean my deck every week but I have rubber mats on the rear of the deck do I need to remove them?
Hustler x-one 60" rear discharge 2019 model
No I would not recommend removing the rubber mats. I think the mats help the grass get chopped up and distributed more evenly. I was planning on trying to add some rubber mats to the back of the deck on my fastrak to see how it affected it.
Is there a stripe kit for a rear discharge mower?
No, I don't believe they make a stripe kit for the rear discharge.
At what height are you cutting the grass in the video? Does it spread the grass out better on fescue when you're mowing at ~3.5" vs something shorter?
That was probably around 2". The height you are cutting at doesn't seem to make as much difference as how much grass you are cutting off.
Ok, just took delivery on a Fastrak 48 rear discharge. I was using a Raptor 42. After first mow I have two issues. One, there is very little space between the edge of deck and outside edge of tire making it very difficult to mow next to things like fence posts and trees. Can narrower tires be used or maybe the tweels ?
Second issue is more of a learning thing. I never made divots with the smaller 42, but made some with the 48 because of the larger tires. Would tweels help with the divots?
I don't think tweels will solve any of your problems. Narrower tires tend to make divots worse. Just take your time turning and edging is all you can really do. Do a 3 point turn. I personally run a Fastrak 54" and never leave any divots. We never sold the Fastraks in a 48" or the Raptors in a 36" just for the issue with the deck not sticking out far enough for most people.
@@PowerEquipmentMan when faced with an issue I tend to carry things to the extreme. A 5' wide tire would make a larger divot than a 1" point. Granted divots are made by a stationary object so the tire must be kelp moving either forward or reverse; however to make a turn it must move in a curve and once more a 5' wide tire would have to slip somewhere.
@@olegig5166 Larger tires have less psi on the ground. Overinflated tires have more ground pressure.
Can you add a bagger system to a rear discharge mower like this or on this one?
Hustler does not offer a bagger to fit any of their rear discharge models.
@@PowerEquipmentMan any idea if any of the quality brands do. Can't seem to find much on this. Thanks for the quick response.
I dont know on any of the other brands.
Can a stripper be added to rear discharge or do they strip without a stripper attachment?
Hustler does not offer a stripe kit for the rear discharges, and no they don't stripe well without one either.
@@PowerEquipmentMan thanks, you have any after market recommendations for a stripper?
Not at this time. I do plan on trying to make a striper setup for my fastrak rear discharge when I get time. If I figure out something that works well I will do a video on it.
@@PowerEquipmentMan good deal, thanks. Probably have to be mounted on frame rather than deck?
But does it stripe?
No
Who cares about stripes
@@keithhylton4631 any real lawncare pro
Striping is overrated
