Hustler Turf MDV Hustler Turf introduced the MDV (Maximum Duty Vehicle). The tough, precision-built utility vehicle is the latest innovation from Hustler and combines the industry's most popular features with pat- ented Levelift bed technology. Flip a switch and the Levelift brings the cargo box up, back, and down, enabling the user to load at ground level or at any point along the mecha- nism's arc of motion. Once loaded, the Levelift brings the cargo box back up and into position on the MDV. With minimum time and effort, the cargo is loaded and on its way. Levelift bed technology also enables loads to be dumped at any height or distance along its arc of motion, providing users with more options for how and where the cargo is unloaded.
