Hustler Turf Equipment, a leading manufacturer of premium commercial and residential turf equipment, announced its Maximum Duty Vehicle (MDV).

The MDV signifies the company’s first entry into the utility vehicle category. The MDV features LeveLift, a patented, labor-saving cargo box. It allows users to lift up to 750 pounds from the ground.

“The introduction of the MDV with LeveLift bed technology speaks to the innovation and quality craftsmanship inherent in the DNA of Hustler Turf,” said Adam Mullet, vice president of sales and marketing in North America. “The MDV is leading the industry by creating the maximum duty UTV category. It offers customers a machine that works hard in addition to getting them from point A to point B.”

The Hustler MDV saves time by turning a two- or three-person job into a one-person job. With a simple flip of a switch, the LeveLift brings the cargo box up, back, and down. As a result, it enables loading at ground level or at any point. Once loaded, the LeveLift brings the cargo box back up and into position on the MDV. With minimum time and effort, the cargo is loaded and on its way.

“After nearly a decade of research and development, we’re ecstatic the Hustler MDV is rolling off of the production line,” said Mullet. “We’re anxious to learn more about how our customers utilize the MDV and hear about new applications for a bed that lowers to the ground while staying level and can be loaded and dumped in any position.”

The base vehicle is more durable, comfortable and easier to maintain than similar UTVs. The Hustler MDV features a Kohler Diesel engine fed by a 14-gallon fuel tank. Users can be confident maneuvering in and out of tight spaces thanks to the CVT transmission and precise controllability.

The vehicle is available in a standard bed model or with LeveLift. The all-wheel drive MDV runs at a top speed of 37 miles per hour; the vehicle has a total load capacity of up to 1685 pounds. A wide range of options and accessories are available.
