Hustler Surfer Pro 34 (50 Hour Review) 

Great job showing and telling, keep up the good work showing have a great day see ya on the next video see ya bye.

Good looking mower, good review my friend!

Shared it great video!

Well I caught that Bill that some future mods may be in the making 👍🏽Great detailed 50! review hard to believe it's at 50 already ✔️💯 Interesting about the gas gauge.

i`ve always wanted to try one

Very nice machine 💯

Good review. I bought mine back in February. She works great getting through small gate openings. It has a nice clean cut. Wish the knee pad was a little thicker.

I keep leaning more and more towards this mower for my next mower.

I just hit 100 hours, having this as my main mower for about 30 small residential yards a week. I’m thinking about getting the 48 inch deck surfer pro next year and running them both.

🔝🔝🔝 well done, thanks a lot for such pro approach & evaluation.

I'm just over 25 hours on my 34 inch Surfer Pro, north west coast 🇨🇦. My biggest complaint is the pad. At 6'5" and 185 lbs my knee height is right at the bolts that hold the pad on and I can feel the bolt heads through the pad. It is super painful and I debate wearing kneepads. I installed a GrassFlap chute blocker and I am unable to use it the same time as the grass catcher so that's another big negative. I am most impressed with your setup. My gas gauge is also off. I am very impressed with how it handles hills! I have many slopes and steep banks on my route and I've vastly exceeded the manufacturer's recommendation for maximum slope in every direction. When sidehilling you need to get over expecting it to track straight but you can get it to drift in straight lines with ease by keeping the throttle down and riding that thing. Feels a little like sidehilling on a snowmobile in that you are countering a downhill slip. Going up steep hills I can keep one foot on the operator platform and hop with the other and it climbs unbelievably well. I've gotten good at using an intentional wheelie at the hill's crest to avoid scalping the knoll, setting the front end down gently with the right deceleration. Whereas going downhill I would always scalp that edge before the slope. Overall I've been incredibly abusive with this thing. I've had it mired in the mud a time or two and an employee tipped it into a ditch once so I appreciate it being light enough to man handle by hand. I did have a stick take out my hydraulic drive belt once. Just so happened that there was a cogged belt in my shop that fit I am now using. Please advise if this is a bad idea. I once ran over a heavy chain that stopped the mover dead and completely severed a thick link. One blade got bent but it's been salvageable. My deck adjustment lever was also tight initially and was very difficult to get into travel position, so tight that I couldn't imagine a bump knocking it out of travel position. You have to really use your muscles to get it in and out. The pivot screw at the bottom of the handle/ lever did come loose on me while mowing. I did hear the jingle jangle of loose washers but didn't stop to check it out until the bolt fell out completely dropping my deck into the lawn and stopping me dead with an ugly scalp. The handle got a little bent at some point in the process and ever since then I've been able to get it into travel position easier although it is still tight. They sent me the wrong striping kit so I hope to try the correct one soon. The sales manager for the western Canadian dealer is a little dork and my experience with him makes me want to consider another manufacturer all together when I'm ready to buy a larger machine. Next time I'm in Edmonton I plan to show up at his location and see what kind of handshake he has in person. Somehow I don't think he will be long in his position.

Excellent video as always Bill. Now that we had an EXTREMLEY wet July (double the normal amount of rain) here in Maryland, how did the Hustler Surfer handle the long and wet grass from Biweekly mowing? And on say, .15 to .25 lots is the Hustler Surfer more efficient than a Toro Timemaster on how long it takes to finish a lawn?

Great review! Any details on the chute blocker? I have the Grass Flap now, but want to add a bagger also.

Nice review .that mower is a lot like my Wright stander

I’d like to see a modification to the padding if you ever do that.

I see a lot of people using this exact mower, it must be legit. I need one for the backyards with small gates.

I'm considering a Surfer Pro 34. Did you test the noise level (decibels) of this mower? Some of my new clients are sound-sensitive and I need a mower below 90 decibels. 70 to 80 decibels would be best. I'm not ready to buy a stand-on electric mower due to cost but will if an electric mower is the only type that will be sufficiently quiet. I you are aware, are there after-market mufflers or silencers that reduce noise significantly? All comments welcome. Steve, Utah

Was the lever not raising in the notch for transport mode because of the wires for the chute?

Nice. Good review video like how you calm about the issues . The Wrong. Soory Wirght stander B. Got some real serious issues to.. just looking i can see some thing wrights should of done . Yep. My feet hurt on my wright but its not to bad.. i should of got this mower.. 👍 compare to the stander B. 😢.

Hey there what bagging kit is that for your mower?

Do you think this mower could fit in the back of my 2020 Tacoma? I have the short bed, I know the depth is not an issue, am wondering about the width

Anyone have issues with one side of the deck raising when the bag gets half full? I have the aluminum catch so its naturally heavier but the left side of the deck raises up when the bags on, just purchased it and have 3.5 hrs on it so far

Mine has the same issue with the fuel gauge.

Just purchased a 34 this week. I will be trying some Gator high lift mulch blades soon if i can find them. Also have a idea to add 2 or 3 inches of memory foam on top of the factory foam. Ive used it twice and surprised its hard for me to hold a great line. Hopefully its just a leaning curve?

Honest ? Billy on a scale of 1 through 10 and 10 being very satisfied where do you rank this Hustler Surfer Pro 34 . As this mower is now on my Radar

In other words it's highest point in the tank is the bottom of the filler neck rendering a 3/4 tank reading.

Can you please make a video of the Massimo Motor Booth at Equip Exposition this year?

I would like to occasionally pull my gorilla cart with my Surfer pro 34". Looks like there is a few possible non drilling options under the standing platform area. Would love to get your opinion on that, and how you might approach this if you were adding a hitch.

What brand bag is that ?

Thinking of selling my 36" turf tracer and getting 1 of these. Deck looks shallow

Do they make this in a 36 inch

I bet it won’t hold a hill
