I have a wright stander 36” that had a green guard installed on it. I just purchased a used trim star 48”, and removed the green guard and installed on the hustler! I ran into the exact same problem! I’ve done everything except installing the magnet on a spring! I can see how that would help keep the shield pulled tight against the discharge! I literally have the exact same machines as you, except the wright is a fixed deck! I really do love the trim star, I also have the pro slide, but have been seriously considering getting rid of it, due to the amount of dust and debris it generates when mulching! I will definitely give this a try! Thank you Russel
The green has been pretty good for me. When I first bought mine they only had the options for the cheaper plastic ones, barely lasted me a year. Upgraded to the bigger motors so far so good
Fantastic set up! Is your setup compatible with using an Accelerator (or similar) grass catcher bagger along with it? That would be a must for me... Many thanks, Steve
Hate u haven't found them best mower company in the industry that makes electric and Manuel chute blocker and they take a big ol shit on hustled which should be there name because anybody they gets one is getting hustler is getting hustled lol get a Spartan u can thank me later and save 5-7k on each mower and still have more commercial components
All Spartan makes are sit down and stand up mower which or no good for my terrain. They don’t even make a 48 inch mower. Trimstars are the best walk behind you can buy and what I need for all the hills.
They have absolutely horrible customer service. Mine came out of the box broke. Fuse blew on first try. Wires broke numerous times. Get told get over it don't know what to tell you.

Love the green guard
How to change tires on your lawnmower quicker. Magnets! LOL. I wish I knew the magnets were that strong before I drilled my deck.
What is your method of removing the unit with these strong magnets?
I just twist it up and it pops off.
Thanks for the quick response, appreciate it!!
Where did you get the magnets from

Never used a grass catcher and we dont bag down here.
@GwinnettLawns oh, I am so jealous lol!
Thanks for the video. Would the guard bend around a round curved chute?
Yes it will.
Are you still using the green gaurd?
Yep have them on both Trimstars.
@GwinnettLawns how is it holding up? I'm about to upgrade mowers and I'm looking for something better than the advance cute system
@@michaeldempsey6747 holding up great I open and close it probably several hundred times a day and I’ve had them for years.
@@GwinnettLawns awesome, I'm trying to decide between this one and the qwikchute. Do you have any opinions on the qwikchute?
@@michaeldempsey6747 I looked at all of them, but I didn’t want that handle sticking up and wanted something electric because it’s more compact.
How did you bend it?
Wood and a vice.
Hey G if you mount the extention yo can open it all the way ✌🏼 😉
Yep I have the extension on it.
that is killer
