Ten Reasons You Need A Cushman Turf Truckster In Your Fleet

1 No other heavy-duty truck has as much load capacity.
With the Cushman Turf Truckster, you have the highest load capacity in its class 2,850 pounds. With the Cushman nameplate, you also get the benefit of more than 50 years of utility vehicle experience. Who else would know how to make a truck this tough, one that some customers are still using 10, 20 or even 30 years later?

2 No other heavy-duty truck offers an automatic transmission.
Many of today's younger workers grew up with automatic transmission cars and never learned how to drive a standard transmission with a clutch. Cushman offers a true three-speed automotive-type automatic transmission in its heavy-duty trucks. This shortens your learning curve, reduces training costs and helps curtail certain types of abuse.

3 Most available forward gears to handle heavier loads under challenging conditions.
Cushman gasoline engine trucks have five forward speeds. Diesel models have four forward speeds with manual transmissions. All trucks, including the automatic model (gas only), come with a two-speed rear axle. This puts a total of either 10 (gas/manual), eight (diesel/manual), or six (gas/automatic) gear ratios at your disposal for hauling heavy loads up and down hills, or for precise spraying applications. Our standard ground speed governor maintains speed for consistent spray application of liquid fertilizers and other chemicals with our available Turf Master sprayers or dedicated SprayTek spray trucks.

4 Most convenient (and sensible) engine accessibility.
Only the Cushman Truckster has a mid-engine (like some exotic sports cars) for more balanced chassis loading and steering control with a heavy load in the bed. Even the best engines sometimes require maintenance and repair. Should your truck ever experience an engine problem, you won't need to unload everything in the bed and get a crane to lift the bed like other trucks that have the engine mounted under them. Just flip up the seat and you can easily access anything you need to work on, even with a fully loaded bed.

5 Flexible power to spare.
Trucksters are available with either a 32-hp electronically fuel injected gasoline engine with automatic belt tensioning, or a 24.8-hp diesel engine. Both come with ground speed governors as standard equipment.

6 The only heavy-duty truck with a "trunk."
Flip open our front hood and you have a sizable storage area for tools, coats and other equipment that's protected from the weather and out of sight.

7 Pass-through operator's station and gentler ride.
With our dash-mounted shifters, you can get in or out from either side (a benefit on some jobs or where access may be limited) without any shift levers sticking up to snag your clothing. You can also turn your truck around in cramped areas next to buildings, fences or other obstructions because there's no long front overhang like other trucks have. This exclusive design also gives you a smoother ride compared to the rougher riding "cab-over" design found in most utility vehicles.

8 Standard hydraulics and available power take-off (P.T.O.).
We include standard hydraulics with every truck, so the lift cylinder and controls for any bed or attachments you plan to add are already installed, and offer a hydraulic P.T.O. to drive the available accessories. Fluids are GreensCare biodegradable oil to protect the environment. A heavy-duty hydraulic P.T.O. with high and low flow rates is available on both models; a heavy-duty mechanical P.T.O. is available for diesels.

9 Available factory-installed four-post rollover protection system and cab.
Cushman is the only heavy-duty truck manufacturer to offer a four-post ROPS for added safety. You can also add a factory-installed cab and doors for additional personal comfort and protection from the elements.

10 Wide selection of accessories to make your job and life easier.
Choose from nearly 50 options and accessories available from the factory and your dealer to tailor your truck to the job and make it more efficient.
