​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.
