Troy Built Mustang Zero Turn?

[ztrjim]

Anyone have any experience with Troy Built's Mustang Zero Turn Mower? I assume it's built by MTD? Used for basic lawn mowing of 1-2 acres 2-3x a month????

Yep, had one for 8 years (Mustang XP 50). Yes, made by MTD. In all honesty we used that machine way beyond what it was designed to do, but it is still going. The issue is the left hydro is getting tired, so failure is coming soon.
Looked at another one, but decided to go with a husquavara this time around.

I've heard surprisingly good things about them, I'm considering the Mustang Pivot. Anyone else have any experience with these?

Anyone Else? I've found very little useful information online.

I have had a Mustang 50 for a few years now. I beat on it and do very little maintenance it has been good. I think it is still even on the original deck belt. Only thing I've had to do was a starter last year. I mow about 3/4 of an acre and a lot of it is sloped. I will say they need more aggressive rear tires if you have any hills, I used some cheap 4 ply atv tires, and the bagger isn't the best. I just use mulch blades and made a mulch plate out of 1/8" steel that bolts on in place of the side discharge chute.
