About a week ago I picked up a Hustler 6x6 with a 16hp Briggs and Stratton Vanguard Motor. I got it home and got it started, it runs and drives, but it is extremely slow. My zero turn mower would easily beat it in a race, and I looked up the specs of my zero turn mower (it has a top speed of 7mph). When I was riding the Hustler my 4 year old daughter wanted to ride with me, so she chased me. She outran the Hustler with the throttle wide open even though she was only jogging! Obviously something must not be right? I don't think these things are supposed to be THAT slow correct? Anyways, my thoughts were maybe it's something to do with the clutch size. I made a short video and posted it to youtube where you can see the setup. My questions are: Does the clutch setup look right? Could it be that the transmission has lost most of its power? Is it just as simple as adjusting the transmission bands? I'm not all that technical and this is the first Utility Vehicle I've ever owned so hopefully it's something simple. Let me know if you have any ideas.
