Cool haircut, Stan! I started my first job today! A guy two doors down needed help maintaining his 20 acres. I will be string trimming and using mowers and tractors. I spent six hours today using a string trimmer.
Cool haircut. You should let your wife try one of those mowers. She might love mowing. I never thought I would enjoy mowing. It is now my peace and mental yoga. You have so much fun! 😊
I've had a Hustler mower now for 4 or 5 years, love it. I mow about 3 acres of yard often, more often now that rains come almost daily. For years I had a John Deere 17hp home owner tractor type mower. With that mower it would almost take all day to mow, with the Hustler I knock it out in about an hour. Only problem; I bought the "Home Owner" model that doesn't have hydraulic oil control. My mistake! Still a wonderful mower.
That mower is an absolute beast! It tore down that super tall growth faster and easier than any other mower that size. Great job!! Looking forward to my shoutout!
I bought the spindrift and I will say it does taste much better. I liked the AHAs cause it’s zero sugar or anything but the spindrift is basically no sugar or anything so I’m in love. Thanks for the content!
As always yet another awesome video , bet ur pleased the good weather is now with u , unless of course it’s 90 or a 100 , lol, never forget was working just round the corner from the london Oval cricket ground doing some boilers , my god the grass stripes that they done were amazing , how they done it so straight was beyond me , suppose it’s down to experience , every time I see one of ur videos it reminds me of those guys who done the lawn as u take as much care and attention to every job , is a credit to you Stan and ur team , really enjoy ur videos and thanks for taking the time making them as it must take a lot of time to record and edit them each week , thank u , gary from across the pond
I love the video Stan,I wish I was in better health because I miss doing heavy-duty yard work like this.I use to do it for my Mom and Dad and also neighbors,with the mower and snowblower here in col, oh.
Awesome lawnmower Sir , and for one moment I thought I was watching the wrong channel cause with your new haircut and sunshades on you looked just like Roman Sharf the wrist watch guy 🤣👍 Tam.
Thanks 👍 and your right- I am hard on it on purpose. I want to see what it can and can't do so when you guys are thinking about if its right for you -you can see it in action being pushed hard.
Great video Stan! I really like the look of these 88"s, hopefully they'll import them for us in Australia soon. My 72" rear discharge Kubota front mount does a similar job, but you can't expect much more out of a RD machine. They're made for cutting long grass down short as fast as possible, so these really are the perfect solution for councils and municipal contractors who don't want grass flying everywhere. The main thing I'd like to see Hustler do on these type of machines is offer some high HP diesel engines because they are better on fuel and have more torque. The 36hp diesel on my Kubota wouldn't have even blinked at most of that stuff where the Vanguard was almost choking out, plus its fuel consumption is miniscule.
@@Dirtmonkey Personally for the work I do I'd definitely take it. Kubota front mowers retail for around $35,000 here but people just keep buying them because they're so efficient. I've only got one at the moment but I'm looking to potentially add another 4 diesel mowers to my fleet. I think it comes down to what you're doing. If you mainly just have small-mid size residential and commercial yards stick with a petrol, but if you're doing big acreage and contract stuff like me where you pull a mower off the trailer and just go for hours on end then diesel is the way.
@@JWNLawnCare Small diesels (sub 65-70ish HP) are a dying proposition in the US due to EPA restrictions. You can still get up to a 25HP without DEF but past that it's not legal. Ford Motor Co. just discontinued their v6 Powerstroke diesel in the F-150 after 2021 it will no longer be available. The EPA has placed so many restrictions on diesels that if there is a similar gasoline powered option it doesn't make financial sense to purchase diesel. The restrictions have forced the manufacturers to neuter the diesel engines to the point that they are no longer viable until you get into 1 ton or larger pickups or 70ish HP equipment where low-end torque is simply not feasible with a gasoline option.
@@greateyedeer5418 Quite interesting. We don't really have that issue here in Australia yet but I'm sure it will come round eventually. Until then though I love my Kubota diesels!
@@JWNLawnCare There's a reason why the world's largest auto manufacturer (Toyota) doesn't even offer a single diesel option in the US unless you step up to medium duty Hino (class 3 or more), which have a gvwr of 10,001 pounds or more. Way too much red tape.
I had a Dixie chopper 60" cut with 20hp kohler mag twin. And I cut brush trees up to three inches in diameter Plus a lowspot retention pond dry of course. But I was amazed at it's power n performance . Only ever got her stuck once in holes muddy from run off. Best mower IVE ever had to use. Our church bought it for me to do there our property. I managed the grass till I couldnt climb up on her. I am totally disabled ,from botched operation on my spine . But I did my best for my home church as a founding member . 30 yrs of our lives invested and our children also attended n worked there.
Stan that mower in my opinion kicks ass and takes no names. When you showed that brush that you cut that was as thick as your thumb I was like that is one hell of a machine.
Rear discharge deck probably cut your overgrown lawn better because the grass doesn't have to pass through a tunnel then be discharged out the side. RD doesn't leave as pretty a cut though, got that wavy-gravy look to it. But the ability to trim on either side is pretty cool. That Super 88 is a damn beast too. Another great video, Stan!
I am very impressed with the Hustler Super 88. That thing did pretty amazing with the conditions you put it through. Any idea how much that beast weighs? Thanks for the video.
Great video Sir: You just proved that a HUSTLER machine is the only way to go. I hope they have an alternative engine upgrade to that BRIGGS AND SCRAP IRON.
Usually the Mechanic’s car or the Carpenter’s house or the Landscaper’s lawn are the least cared for, after a long day of working on others items the last thing one wants to do is work on their own……. LOL 😂
I will tell the guys for sure. Tomorrow Alex and I will be tackling one UGLY hill. We are going to try and make it look better and be more user friendly. It will be a fun video and that should be out in a few weeks. Have a great week kiddo!
I just did a field with my cub cadet that was that tall with scotch broom and black berries as well as tall grass and it just blew threw it. No stalling, no bogging, just a beast!
What do you think of the overall precision and feeling in the controls vs the Wright zk72? Which would you rather drive if the decks were irrelevant? Absolutely love your videos, nice job.
I love that machine bro! I've torcherd the ole Cub threw that very same terrain and I've noticed that the cooling fans and belts take a beating. I can't imagine with a rear discharge deck would be am maintenance nightmare 🤔 I'd suggest a remote trans cooler and some kevlar belts for her. But, other than that it's a perfect machine for the bat county 😋
Stan. I’m back thankfully. I have had one hell of a busy weekend and week. This past weekend I worked a total of 37 hour in 3 days and I have worked am and pm shifts all week. So I’m super tired and just want a break but I keep pushing myself to wake up and do it all over again. Why? Idk I lost most of my reasons too but I keep going because if I stop life will throw me a curveball and i will be too tired to dodge or catch it. Have a great day Stan.
When I saw the title of the video from a few days ago, "Mower Breaks and Loses Control into the Pond" I thought you were mowing your wetlands again. No you saved that for this one.
Do you find any benefit in front mounted cutters for wetland/bid versus a belly or tow behind whether on tractor or standalone? Ironically need to take down bog asap
Its not really a good wetland mower. This is more about efficiency over large areas. BUT I wanted to test how well it could handle the tough stuff and it did it like a champ.
@@Dirtmonkey nice great test...getting that 6' MN wetland stuff finally is making me pull the trigger on kubota I think bc I'm gonna need 4wd. I'm surprised you don't have tractors at your land that we see ever.
The only thing that ever bugs me in these videos, the weeds! Haha for how dry and hot it's been. You have some amazing green grass, some good 2,4-D would make it look even better.
I need to test the tweels on sidehills yet but so far I absolutely love them. I cut a sidewall on the stock tire already and figured let's see how tweels do. The 88 is one beast of a machine for large properties. Cuts great and reduces a lot of time for me. I haven't seen another with tweels on it yet.
That things a beast!!! I have a exmark 96 in lazer Z Diesel its a sit down i have a bad back can't stand a lot I have 5 acers and can cut it at 2 1/2 inches and finish in under a hour try giving that beast a review sometime take care Stay Safe great videos as always 👍
I could do with one of those machines I bought a Dr max pro. It's good but struggles on the thick rush I have on my property. Great after the first cut but hard work to start with. I wish I'd seen your channel before I made the investment.
That "Squat to standup" transition is going to revolutionize TH-cam!
Cool haircut, Stan! I started my first job today! A guy two doors down needed help maintaining his 20 acres. I will be string trimming and using mowers and tractors. I spent six hours today using a string trimmer.
20 acres is a very BIG property to maintain. Congrats on getting such a big job!
@Jason Bristow how much do you get paid to do it
This mower is pretty dope! Keep up the great work stan! Love to come home and see your upload for the day! Have a good one & see you Friday!
Thanks for tuning in. I love talking with you guys. makes it all worth it!
Stan, your swamp chair crop is starting to come in nicely!
Our weather has finally let us start to grow some grass so i can release cool mowing vids!
Cool haircut. You should let your wife try one of those mowers. She might love mowing. I never thought I would enjoy mowing. It is now my peace and mental yoga. You have so much fun! 😊

Wow was quite surprise how it just handle everything you thrown at it. Great work and thanks for sharing this with us take care
You finally got a hair cut looking good man mower did way better than expected I thought it wouldn't stand a chance
That mower kicked so much butt I couldn't believe how well it did.
@@Dirtmonkey FYI the squat to stand transition makes it look like you where just laying a crap on the camera and just got up
great sense of humor Stan! nice transition....hahahahahha
😂👊
Manufacturer be like, "Damn Stanley, maybe stick with the perennial rye."
This just "mowed" through everything I could throw at it. 😂👊
“Left it growing to test the machine” I like the excuse for the wife!
Talking about getting his wig split right?
@@mandeladams4793 yeah mate
Once again Stan your neighbors are looking out the windows shaking there heads ( Honey he’s at it again cutting the swamp with a lawn mower)
Yep-😂. No surprise there hahah
The squat to stand up transition is legit 😂 i didn't mind the punch one. People are sensible !! 👊
That’s a unit right there! Great video Stan!
It sure is! I think I might try to keep this one. My crew loves it.

I've never ran a rear discharge zero turn, but I like the fact that you can get equally close to trees and obstacles using either side
Thats a Beast, Much better than the standup's i worked on from Toro.. The dual tanks are a gamechanger
They help balance it on the hills
Hahaha!! My favorite transition yet!! The butt hurt transition!! Too funny.
Wow I doubled checked the channel made sure I was watching Dirt Monkey. Nice cut hair and lawn
Thank you sir!
Stanley,your a crazy man but sometimes you just gotta make sure that equipment does the job right ❤😊🚜

cool!

Thank you!

Landscapers lawn is never cut and a carpenters house is always in need of repairs lol

Now lets hope you can maintain....
Nice haircut there, bud. Lookin' classy.
Thank you👍

It sure beats looking like shaggy, looked like he was homeless before
Great haircut!
Thanks!

Very well built machine. Made for the long haul.....
Waw great machine new subscriber from Philippines 🇵🇭
Thanks and welcome
You are one strange dude,, love it.
I will take both of those statements as compliments😂👊. Have a great week!
Yes Stanley the comments were meant as a compliment. You are your own guy and that is a rarity today.
wow!! that is overgrown. awesome vid too
What weight is the machine,what size is the engine and how many cutting blades has it got. Great vid
That mower is a beast half of your yard looked like bushhog on the skidsteer work to me.
Try to spray them bottom of the mower with fluid film, works great in wet grass it stops it from sticking to the deck..
Yes- I need to do that and thanks for the reminder.
All yeah, btw thank you for the shout out.
Butt to face transition. Priceless
😂👊
I'd love to see you guys mow a chess board simultaneously :) That would be great in that tall stuff!
This video made my allergies act up.
I was so itchy after this one

Hey Stan it the best mower ever, turn on the beast mode
It is turned on my friend!
The only thing that ever bugs me in these videos, the weeds! Haha for how dry and hot it's been. You have some amazing green grass, some good 2,4-D would make it look even better.
I planted those- its clover. The deer love it! I have them in my yard and enjoy watching them graze. My wife doesn't like it as much as I do😂
@@Dirtmonkey got to enjoy wildlife up close sometimes!!!
I guess the great thing about having a jungle growing in the back yard there's plenty of chances to test lawn mowers
Haircuts......looking good Stan........
Nice even cut! Sweet!
Stan. Did you end up buying that 88?I have about 35 hours on mine and absolutely love it. I put tweels on it last week. I'll get a video up on it.
Not yet- but its so tempting. what an amazing machine. Do you like the tweels on yours?

I see the EGO at 1:24 with the deck off, how's it been holding up if you're still using it? Thinking of getting one, great vid as always!
The rear discharge helps that mower 1000%
And I love the vids I seen every one
Dude thats awesome! Thank you!
Great video
The path you take to mow makes my head hurt. If you mowed like that where I work they would have some words for you
The worst part is- I am part owner of the company. I have guys that LOVE striping. Me- nah- I like making REALLY TALL grass short😂
for that thick clover, the super 88 did a really good job at 3.5"
Meanwhile a 22" Toro Super Recycler struggles to cut and mulch a full inch off my lawn. LMFAO!
One time I used a 72" mower to see if I could mow a 22" mower and it worked. yep I mowed up a mower.
Hey! I have a Dixie Chopper lawn mower and I was wondering if you have ever used one? If so have you made a video on it?
STANNN THE MAN IS BACK BABY
