I`ve just ordered my 900T w/26 tires and will be selling my Hustler 440.I have finished making repairs to it, so I will do a comparrison before selling it(it too has 26 tires)against the Max 900T.

Kyle I am coming over to your house! Sounds great, when are you getting it? It will be slower than your Hustler but should be better in every other way.
I have a chance to buy a Hustler with 440 and T-20 trans. It is not the model with 26" tires. He wants $1600 and I am still thinking.

Is that the one on E-bay Brandon? If not, it's in Missouri too. I would consider it if it were closer. He says it's too fast for him. Sounds just right for you!

Brandon,Thursday at 0800-0900 Hrs my 900T is scheduled to arrive.I`m not excited or anything,just thought I`d let you know(if you believe that then I`ve got a bridge to sell you!)I`m already taking it to show a few prospective customers and then it`s test time! I plan on taking it on some mild hills(I wonder how long the break in period is?)maybe cross a stream or two and then a speed test against the Hustler,also a pulling test(mild of course!).I suspect the Hustler to have about 5-10 Mph top speed over the max 900,but I`d geuss the 900 will eat up the 440 on hill climbing .We shall see! I will gladly post my results in detail and I have a very good digital camera and would be happy to send photos to anyone who would like to see. Feel free to E-mail me if you would like. Kyle

I just received my 900T,WOW, what a machine!! It is 10 times as impressive seeing it 1st hand!The RI.photos don`t do justice! I was amazed at how much attention it drew it`s 1st time out.It is extremely well desinged & built,very impressive to say the least! I took it for it`s 1st waterborne test& evaluation ,and it performed flawlessly.It takes a bit getting used to swimming in a machine,but once you get the feel for it it`s a blast.You have to move into the middle when you're solo in the water to balance it,other than that it was very stable.When I would nail the throttle,it would raise the front end quite a bit and churn up a good wake in it`s trail. The seating is very spacious & the seats are comfortable. The general lay out of the vehicle is very well thought out.The engine is impressive to say the least,they`ve added a bigger clutch & belt set up(a Dayco belt is used,identical to the belts used on Honda Fl 250 & 350 racing set ups)and the driven clutch is same as Polaris uses.I won't bore you with any more tech details. To conclude:The 900T is extremely impressive to behold,very responsive and fast for a 4 stroke.It is a solidly built machine,well worth the expence. PS I`ve got photos of water trials if interested,just send me your E-mail and I`ll send them,I`ll be building a web page very soon. Thanks,Kyle

Kyle, thats great that you finally recieved your new machine, but was it really worth the extra $6000.00 over your hustler.

By Kyle L.Vogt (Cmdrvogt) on Unrecorded Date: Edit

Yes! Definately YES! 1st I Decided to become a max dealer since there are none in my area and that type of machine will fill a niche.I can also use it w/ my other bissinesses(is that spelt right?)of construction & paintball. 2nd,I don't have time to be working on a machine other than basic maintance. 3rd,I strongly considerd putting more money into the hustler,but decided against it after much thinking & research,and decided to sell it. The Max 900T almost idles up an extremely steep hill(45-55%?) w/ very little effort.It's power is very impressive and it has great acceleration(especialy for a 4 stroke!),I would dare say there is no rival in it's price range. Thanks.Kyle PS.I have pics if you would like to see,E-mail me if you like.
