How Hustler Mowers Changed the Landscaping World

​How Hustler Mowers Revolutionized the Landscaping Industry

In the world of landscaping, innovation is the key to efficiency and excellence. One name that stands out in this realm is Hustler Turf Equipment. From pioneering the zero-turn mower to continually enhancing mowing technology, Hustler has transformed the landscaping industry.​



The Birth of the Zero-Turn Mower

In 1964, inventor John Regier recognized the need for a mower that could navigate irregular landscapes with ease. He crafted a mower from farm machinery and mower parts, capable of turning with a zero-degree radius. This innovation caught the attention of Excel Industries, which began production of the Hustler mower in Hesston, Kansas. This marked the birth of the world's first zero-turn mower, setting a new standard in lawn care equipment.



Innovations That Set Hustler Apart

Hustler's commitment to innovation didn't stop with the zero-turn mower. The company introduced features like the SmoothTrak™ steering system, providing precise control and maneuverability. Their mowers are designed with heavy-duty, fabricated steel decks and one-piece steel frames, ensuring durability and performance. ​

Models like the X-ONE® cater to commercial landscapers, offering options like carbureted or fuel-injected engines and various deck sizes to suit different needs.


Commitment to Community and Sustainability

Beyond manufacturing, Hustler Turf Equipment is dedicated to community involvement and environmental stewardship. The company supports local initiatives, including Hesston College and the United Way chapter, and is a member of the Outdoor Power Equipment Institute (OPEI), promoting sustainable practices in the industry.

With golden, crunchy fish, fresh toppings, and zesty sauce in a warm tortilla, they’re bursting with bold flavor in every bite. Servings 4 Prep Time 10 minutes Cook Time 10 minutes Ingredients 1 pound fresh fish (cut into bite-sized pieces) 2 cups Panko bread crumbs 4 eggs (whisked) Blackstone Tequila Lime seasoning (to taste) Add To Cart Cooking oil (for the griddle) 8 street taco-size flour tortillas Queso fresco or cotija cheese (crumbled) 1 lime (juiced) Mexican crema (for drizzling) Hot sauce (optional) Fresh cilantro (chopped) Directions 1. Preheat your Blackstone griddle to low heat. 2. In a bowl, combine the Panko bread crumbs with a generous amount of Tequila Lime seasoning. 3. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs. Dip each piece of fish into the whisked eggs, ensuring they are fully coated, then roll them in the seasoned Panko mixture until covered. 4. Drizzle cooking oil onto the griddle. Place the breaded fish on the griddle and cook for about 5–6 minutes, flipping frequently until all sides are golden brown and the fish is cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside. 5. Warm the tortillas by placing them on the griddle for about 30 seconds on each side until soft and pliable. Be careful not to let them crisp up unless you prefer a crunchier texture. 6. Assemble the tacos by placing some crispy fish pieces in each tortilla. Sprinkle with crumbled queso fresco, squeeze fresh lime juice on top, and drizzle with Mexican crema. Add hot sauce if you like some heat, and finish with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro. Serve immediately and enjoy! click here to check out our blackstone lineup!!!!!
