We have a 22' Maverick 54" deck with a Kawasaki 726. It has 3200 hydro which are commercial and serviceable. I am going to say the Maverick is entry level commercial. Your good
The line between commercial and residential is fuzzy. Anything with 2800 hydros or higher can be serviced. Anything with a fabricated deck with thick steel and larger spindles can handle more use and abuse. Some go by weight, with most things labeled as commercial weigh over 1,000 pounds. Rups bar is usually present. Commercial grade air filtration system is standard, as are hydros that allow a minimum of 10mph. I've been mowing with a hustler raptor SD, 2800 hydros, kawi engine, fab deck...300h in 2 seasons and no major issues yet. I did add the commercial canister filter to my engine, as well as a diy chute lift pedal.
Despite rumors, the Kohler engines are every bit as good as any other as long as you maintain them. Like any engine, if you don't maintain them they can fail. I've been through three zero-turns with Kohler engines and never had any significant issue.
correct my last kohler engine was sold at 926 hours in my last mower. Both the Kawasaki and the kohler has been awesome. the B&S now I have had problems.
I have a raptor SD, 42". I have a small lawn care biz, about 23 lawns. I've been considering getting a maverick HD with the 42" deck. The only time I find my hustler a bit lacking is mid season when my bi-weekly lawns get to be 10-14" tall between cuts and I have to go slower and sometimes go back over areas for grass that got missed. But it's hard to say if a $9k maverick HD would do any better. I would like to have a grass blocker though. I put a pedal on my hustler to raise the flap...both for when I cut tall or wet grass and for going through gates but a blocker is good for not blowing grass into the road or into flower beds.
The HD mower comes with a standard suspension seat 13 inch non-flat tires on the front and a new deck size of a 42 inch for a homeowner And it comes with a commercial style air filter standard, and they do have the 3400 transaxles instead of the 3200 transaxles like on the regular maverick.
Yeah I think that little piece of metal Almaer is held it up but if I play with the handle it will eventually go flush against the deck. I don’t know if that thing is designed to keep it open a little bit to help let the grass out or what
Maybe if you'd stop criticizing other people you'd have more than oh I don't know.....0 subscribers, oh well it must be a sad life to have if all you can do is down someone for doing what they can or want to do but hey have fun with that big ass goose egg their pal......
Yeah, this is my first color brand-new motor so I’m hoping it’ll last. My Hustler has a callus sake motor on it. It’s got over 500 hours on it. Haven’t had no issues out of it.
You chose the right engine; I have been running the Kohler engine since 2002 on my Exmark Laser Z and have never had a problem with it!
Well I hope it lasts we see how it dose

My SD has 347 hrs in 2 season it has 3200 hydro best dang mower.
Love to see a video of the grass blocker in action!
I get one
The deck actually will lock in the up position. Look below the throttle and you’ll see a little handle. That’s the deck lock

Both are very good mowers have zero complaints on both, just wish move faster but Iam ok with it
Won’t spend $400 on a Japanese Kawasaki engine but hey, $230 for a metal plate and handle is the right move
My thoughts exactly 🤔
Really, Kawasaki is probably best engine on market and now Koehler is in cahoots with China.
On my next one I will have the kaw motor for sure
If your Maverick has a 3100 hydro gear trans or larger it is considered a commercial engine . If it is 2800 or lower it is considered a resedential.
I bought the maverick hd with the Honda motor. Paying for the best at first I believe will be worthwhile when alls said and done
with me running a mowing business was just smarter for me to upgrade it. That way they still bring some money.
I bought the 54” mower. Same motor. I was told it is commercial. So what’s the difference in the hd?
The HD mower comes with a standard suspension seat 13 inch non-flat tires on the front and a new deck size of a 42 inch for a homeowner And it comes with a commercial style air filter standard, and they do have the 3400 transaxles instead of the 3200 transaxles like on the regular maverick.
Hope it doesn't affect you but your chute cover is not flush with your deck. Thanks for the tutorial. Just got one yesterday.

Video starts at 6:20

you would know the answer to the things you don't know if you read the owners manual.
Never trust dealership people always do your research first pick it out for your self
Well, so far is doing good doing everything I needed to do I’ll run it for a couple seasons and trade it in and get a new one
I still planning to get one for myself I help guy last summer with badboy maverick they make good lawnmower to .
Yes, they are a very comfortable, smooth riding mower. I’m hoping to try to get on a stand on. Or move up to a rogue.
No air ride seat?
Nope $700 options
First
Wonder if he’ll have enough money to repower the mower in about three years?
It be gone when they reach 600 hrs I up grade
Lmao🤣 u couldn't drop 400 $ measley bucks after dropping 8k on a mower? Kohler sucks!! Kohler ain't gonna last that couple years
