Looked at the Raptor SD yesterday, I will not be buying it or any Raptor SD, most likely. It had nearly 150 hours on it, more than what he told me; the brackets for all 3 anti scalp wheels on front of the deck were bent - poor single-tab design by hustler; plastic side panels on both sides was broke at the rearward bolts where they mount under the seats; fawking farmers co-op he recently had it serviced at put the damn blades on upside down; and it doesn't track straight. You have to pull back on the right bar a decent bit to drive straigth which makes it go slower. I understand you can adjust the linkages, but for so close of a price to what a new one is, it's not worth the money to fawk with it, even if it does have a Kawi engine. I may just save my money and buy the Kubota next mowing season. I really expected the Raptor SD to be a little faster too. It didn't feel much faster than my old John Deere from Lowes.
