Finally got a hold of my old Scag Patriot to compare it to my new Hustler FastTrak SDX. I mowed the same grass in the same yard a few weeks apart with each mower. The video starts with the previous hustler cut quality video and that video bitrate was low, so it's a little grainy. Then I proceed cutting with the scag and the results speak for themselves. When I say new blades on the hustler, I mean the are the stock blades and they are still like new and pretty sharp. Both sets of blades on both mowers are the original blades that came with the mower and neither have been sharpened.
