I’ve been running a Hustler Raptor HD for 6 years. It’s been a good mower but eats belts like crazy.
I’m looking at getting a Spartan next year. Not a whole lot more money but it’s a better mower. Smoother cut and ride with more greasable parts should make it last longer with the abuse that I put my mowers through

I've always heard if money isn't a concern get a Ferris. Never driven one, but have never heard of an owner that wasn't happy with theirs.
I've run a Cub Cadet and a Bad Boy at home. Cub Cadet ran for a long time and did the job. The Bad Boy does the same job faster and better. However, the Bad Boy is rough as heck.
I started to get an Ariens, and read to only buy one with a Kawasaki engine. For what thats worth.

I really like my kubota but I did upgrade to the suspension seat and it is silky. Low , wide profile and Eats thick,wet st. Augustine like crazy. Solid and larger than average front tires and heavy duty deck. Steel cut gears for the win. Easy maintenance . I looked at gravely’s but I couldn’t get a suspension seat in the size I was looking at or I would own one.

I wouldn't buy another Hustler Raptor HD. Especially if you are mowing tall grass. I have never had a mower clog up with grass as much as I have had with the Raptor.

Hard to beat that Kubota zero percent for 5 years. I have the 54”. Been pretty good.
Just don’t buy it from Landsdown Moody. The WORST people I have EVER dealt with.
There was a pulley defect on mine that Kubota put out and getting Landsdown to work on it was nearly impossible and they would keep it for a month.

Do yourself a favor and go visit a ferris dealer and take one for a test drive. Theses things are built like a tank and have a great suspension. You can get a air ride seat which smooths out the ride even more. We are currently running a 72 inch Ferris with a Cat Diesel engine and dual fuel tanks. That thing is a big heavy duty beast. Now we do mow 23 acres with only about 50 trees and from start to finish takes about 8 hours. You will not regret buying a Ferris.
