hustler factory tire size

[Byrd]

Just got my first 6x6 hustler,well my first 6x6 period. I need to know factory tire size, I can see a 21 but cannot make out the rest of the numbers.gonna have to replace at least half of them for sure maybe all of them, haven't tried to air them up yet just got it an hour ago.does anyone have a full set for sale?thanks

The factory tire size on all Hustler 880-950 models is 21x11x8. They are Goodyear Rawhides. If your Hustler is a HDPE plastic body (poly), not fiberglass you can clear up to 25" tires. I'd highly recommend getting some 25" Rawhide III tires. They swim, they are good in the mud, and they have a super soft ride. You can get a full set of six for less than $300 shipped to your door......that's a great deal! The only thing is that you'll have to buy a set of 9" wheels to fit them on because right now you have 8" wheels. Good luck with it.

JP the 25x12x9 Rawhide III fit the low Hustler body. I Doubt that the 11.50 will fit unless you get a wide rim. The 11.50 is about 2" taller than the 12 when mounted on the argo 9" rim.

Thanks for the heads up on that, Marc. I never knew the 25x11.50x9 were taller than the 25x12x9's. Excellent information to know. I think someone said there was a difference in the sidewall too, but I can't remember the details.

Thanks you guys,now how about battery size.we talking lawn and garden or auto battery,it has a 18hp Honda. Vtwin.

A garden tractor battery will work just fine.

My Hustler under seat battery box was sized for a air cooled VW Beetle battery.

It's nice having that extra space under the seat of the Hustler for a larger battery compared to other machines like the Max and Attex. I almost bought one of those Optima batteries for my Hustler 980 but I just couldn't see spending that much money on a battery for a machine that I don't use that much.

I made a mistake on the dimmensions of the bearings. The outside diameter is 62mm. My appologies.
