2 FIRST, WE CHANGED EVERYTHING In 1964, Hustler invented the first zero-turn mower. While the rest of the world has played catch-up, our innovative spirit has kept us at the front of the mower industry for nearly 50 years. Today we design and build mowing products for multiple industries to far exceed expectations. From the versatile 1500 riding greens to the multifunctional 3700 with year round attachments. Hustler will continue the quest in matching specific products to industry needs Roy Mullet joined the company. His vision and entrepreneurial spirit was a catalyst for the company. Later that same year, he was appointed the president by the Board of Directors Excel Industries, Inc. started building cabs for after-market farm equipment. Later, contracts were signed with original equipment manufacturers (O.E.M.s) of farm and construction equipment to provide needed cabs Model 36; The world s first zero-turning radius lawn mower. Hustler Turf Equipment was born of a simple need - a mower that would maneuver the irregular landscape of the family home - complete with bird baths, gardens, and winding front walkways. The first Hustler was a compilation of mower parts and farm machinery, created by a genius named John Regier. Mr. Regier s mower cut grass and steered like no other. It could hug a flag pole or reverse directions at a fence line, with a turn radius of zero degrees. With this, the world s first zero-turn mower was born. And it changed everything. When Mr. Regier brought his design to tractor cab manufacturer Excel Industries, the timing was perfect Model 172; The first in our line of industrial grade mowers with a 72 deck. THE THREE EXCEL PIONEERS On the left, Ray Rilling, hydraulics expert, with company President Roy Mullet and John Regier, who brought the idea of the first upfront, independent drive-wheel-steering Hustler mower to Excel Model 272; Introduced in February 1970, the Hustler 272 used the first dual-hydrostatic drive system ever developed for a mower. Constantly monitoring the market in the late 60 s, cab manufacturing showed signs of change. Excel started to take a strong foothold into the turf and grounds market Model 272 A 1978 Model 360; Hustler introduced the first self-leveling, hillside mower. Followed by the 402, the 602D, 640/6400 and the ATZ. In the 1970s, Hustler switched from red to the signature yellow paint color Model 275; The 275 firmly established our reputation for durability, dependability and longevity. The 275 permanently raised the bar for what would be expected of a Hustler mower. In addition to manufacturing the best-in-class mowers, Hustler is committed to providing a quality owner experience. Our mission is to provide the most dependable, useful, and time-saving products in turf care, while providing unmatched customer loyalty and the best warranty in the business. Hustler s experienced IS TO PROVIDE dealers are always ready THE MOST DEPENDABLE, to answer questions and Since then, Hustler has USEFUL AND TIME-SAVING provide expert service become one of the PRODUCTS IN TURF CARE. to every customer. The leading turf care brands growing Hustler family now includes more than in the world. Across the globe, the Hustler brand 1,200 U.S. dealers and more than 40 distributors signifies innovation, quality and superior customer worldwide. care. He couldn t maintain production alone, and Excel was looking to expand its product line. When the folks at Excel saw the mower in action, they knew they had a product that would revolutionize the mowing industry. Under the direction of company president Roy Mullet, Excel began production of Hustler mowers at its OUR MISSION plant in Hesston, Kansas. Hustler was the first mowing company with a full range of attachments for increased productivity Model 285 showing its multi-seasonal versatility Kent Henson named President Model the first rear discharge, mid-mount zero-turn rider. It featured a unique catching system which essentially could not plug To increase mowing productivity and minimize costs was the rationale behind the Range Wing, the first tractor-mounted wide-area mowing system Paul Mullet, second generation, named President. The company is now into its third generation 1999 Our first commercial walk-behind mower was the Hydro Walkbehind - it featured an innovative steering system that is much easier to learn and operate than traditional pistol-grip The ShortCut was a stand-up or sit-down zero-turn rider designed to be more compact and more productive. By continually evolving the Hustler line, we have grown from humble beginnings to a leader in the industry. Our mowers undergo regular redesigns and improvements under the guidance of innovative Excel engineers, always living up to the highest Hustler standards. With every mower our goal remains the same - to provide our customers with a dependable mower that will help them complete more work in less time. Innovation and quality. That s how Hustler changed everything Hustler Z; In May, Hustler began to design a Z-rider to compete in the marketplace. In September of that same year, we debuted the Hustler Z and began the modern era of Hustler Turf Equipment With the introduction of the Super Z, Hustler sped to a position of one of the leaders of the mowing industry In 2001, Hustler came full circle when we introduced the FasTrak - a residential Z-rider Hustler Turf introduced the world s first all electric zeroturn mower 2008 Our first golf course reel mower was the Model 7700 fairway mower. Also introduced at that time, the walk-behind greens mower Model 50. 4

3 I ve played and experienced many wonderful courses throughout my golfing career. When I created my two courses, I wanted to share that wonderful experience with others. Hustler Turf Equipment has given me the opportunity to showcase a perfectly groomed course which allows the golfing community to share in the experiences that I have encountered over the years. SUPERINTENDENTS CAN COUNT ON HUSTLER Producing a perfect finished appearance isn t an option, it s an everyday necessity. When a superintendent can trust their equipment to produce that finished appearance, that becomes one less thing to worry about. Fuzzy Zoeller Professional golfer and owner of Covered Bridge & Champions Pointe Golf clubs HUSTLER. THE RIGHT DECISION. The effort that goes into making a course successful is a tough responsibility. With so many external factors that can affect the profitability of a golf course, it is nice to know your equipment will be one thing you can count on day in and day out. All of our operators find the Hustler to be more user friendly compared to competitive units. We ve also found that the 7700 has held its cut on our Zoysia grass Fairways better than any other unit we ve ever used. Furthermore, our mechanics were amazed at how little adjusting was needed between cuts. Hustler units have easily shown to be of equal or better quality than all other manufacturers and are priced right to make a big impact in the Golf Equipment Industry.

Because of the unique characteristics of the zeroturn mower and its potential impact on the mowing industry, it was important to have a name that carries a message, not unlike the B-58. It s fast. It s powerful. It s a Hustler. My experiences with Hustler have been nothing short of extraordinary. Having experienced a terrific track record with Hustler zero-turn mowers over the last 5 years made my decision a lot easier when it came time to purchase both a Fairway mower and a Greens mower. The undisputed quality and value in these machines make for a great buying experience when every dollar counts. - J.
