A new zero-turn mower line captured your attention this past month, especially since Robert Foster of Intimidator and formerly of Bad Boy Mowers is the name behind the new Spartan Mowers.

The Spartan line was revealed at the recent GIE+Expo, at which Hustler also introduced its first stand-on mowers — a story that ranked number 2 in October for views.
