Use a stand up on my yard for 5 minutes and you will be 6 inches shorter.

I have heard of hustler, but not ever seen one. All of the mowing services around here use Grasshopper or Exmark. I suspect the fact of there being a local dealer for both has a lot to do with that.

One make that I just saw ls week was Bad Boy. Built like a W126 of mowers. They pack a lot of power per deck width. Their smallest is a 44" deck with 22HP. Construction is appealing, but I know of no one using one.
