[QUOTE="Texasmark, post: 1444850, member: 27848"] Interesting comment. I have a 26 BS Vanguard on a 61" Ferris which is plenty of power for running the blade and climbing pond banks. Usually run at ¾ throttle. Hard to say and under what conditions. If commercial usage with regular customers setup on a mowing schedule I'd assume it would be just fine. If on a pasture full of weeds and brush then anything would have to work at it. I have a Hustler 44 Fastrack ZT also and based upon the reliability of that machine, other than plugs, oil, filters and one battery, zero maintenance since 2005 when purchased, and a rugged very capable machine. Only gripe was harsh ride and the springs I mentioned elsewhere solved that problem and also solved the leaning back problem mentioned which seems to be common with ZTs. I had it (the leaning back) with my Ferris too and it is an IS (industrial service) rated machine, but cured it too with another set of the same springs. Since Hustler was an early entry into the ZT market and "has survived the test of time" (quality product) I seriously doubt they would make a mistake like that on a machine designed for that market at that price!
