Unhappy New Meaning for March Madness - Wife brought home a hustler

So Wife drives up in her 3/4 tonne Ford. I note she has a new friend with her, wearing a yellow outfit. This new friend is rather smartly dressed and a bit on the quiet side. I am wondering who this new friend is because it appears she is moving into our house. Now Wife introduces this yellow clad darling as the new member of our household. Confusion reigns for a short time while I struggle to get all her baggage out of the truck.

Hustler Turf Products - Residential Mowers - Raptor *NEW*

Wife wanted a larger mower than our 33" Snapper, zero-turn, and fast enough to mow the acre around the house quickly. Something with enough umph to take it out into the pasture and mow instead of only burning diesel in the tractor.

She tried out some scratch and dent Husqvarna lawn tractors, some used Dixie Choppers, Hustlers, and Cub Cadets. The Hustler Raptor in 52" with 23HP drove better, felt more stable sideways on a hill, cost less than other options (except for S&D Husqvarna) on used equipment (and new) and (best of all) came with a full 3 yr unlimited hour warranty and zero % financing.

A bit of a payment every month for a few months at no interest and she has something to mow with that she likes (versus my old Snapper that is now for sale).

Yep! Her job! We have a strange split of functions... (she also helps build barns, garages, home redos, Porsche repairs, etc.)

She sounds perfect. Does she have a single sister?

A professional quality machine! Perhaps you could find her some lawns to cut for hire in her spare time?

Nice! Buying a nice self propelled Honda was the key to my wife mowing our yard. It's easy to start and use, now she just sees it as an opportunity to go outside and tan.

I was about to ask you if it was the latest issue. Didn't know they published it anymore.

Cheers
