I expect this mower will last several seasons with decent care. kzfaq.infoUgkx1VWTrayKBdCKAjzAcZ_Eg4dhHTae3LkN also recommend Also, I ran across the problem with it not starting the 2nd time I used it. There is a safety switch which is pushed in by the chute or mulching piece being attached to the deck. I took the cover off and it wouldn't start. Put it back on, no problem. It takes only a minute with 2 easily accessible wingnuts and no tools. This mower starts up first crank each time and it is a joy to use. It also mows in reverse by putting the key to the reverse area after starting and pushing in the triangular button. It will stay in reverse mode until you turn it off. All in all, for my homeowner needs, I really like this mower-and at 70 bucks a cut here in Miami, it's already more than 1/3 paid for itself in a month.

I have a 2010 BadBoy ZT6000 my grandson gave me from his yard business with a 27hp Kohler engine.. It was tired from lack of maintenance. I cleaned the carb changed spark plugs and all the filters., changed spindle and front wheel bearings, both worn out belts and an idler pulley. This machine is built like a sherman tank. Now it runs like a champ, never wanted a Z turn, but this is awesome, never going back to a rider mower. Oh yeah, I added an ammeter and tachometer for bling. I'm 76 years old and I enjoy mowing in comfort now....Al Scott

Thank you for the review. I owned the Ferris Witt the independent suspension and the 48” deck (I don’t remember the exact model). I sold it about 6 years ago. It was a great mower. However I had the maintenance folks out to our home over and over trying to stop stair step cutting. We couldn’t stop the uneven cutting on slightly sloped yard. The company rep finally said.... it must me the independent suspension on a slopped cutting angle. I could never figure it out. I’ve not heard anyone else worn the same issue.. would be interested to know if someone out there has had similar issues. I’ m back on the market for a zero turn. I have a small yard but now my aging neighbors and I’m a home builder and have to keep out lots mown at 6” or less height. I have a budget of $6500

I mowed with that mower for a commercial outfit for a few years. You have to keep your foot on the deck adjustment pedal and feather it a bit when you go on hillsides and/or uneven hilly areas. It bugged me too until I figured out that work around, then it cuts like it should. It does get killer on your knee after 8hrs of it though.

@@jts4248 sadly ordered a John Deere. Was told it was in stock and would be delivered within 5 days…. 3 Months later no mower. Ended up with a interim mower from Hustler. It’s the tilt up deck and was pretty affordable $3800. Anyway love the tilt up deck. It’s actually very very helpful as I’m mowing empty lots that are not improved and have to swap blades daily and being able to pull a pin, push a bottom and hand the mower fold in two and have the deck vertical is amazing. HOWEVER !!!!! It is not a Deere. It not comfortable, it’s not smooth to operate (the controls are not balanced well). What is worse is maintenance on the belts requires about 30-40 min of disassembly. Also it is very very very difficult to level the deck. But it was 1/2 the price of the Deere and it does the job. The motor is a Kawasaki commercial. That being said, I sell my mowers every 3 years on depreciation schedule we use for our company tools. I think I’ll sell this mower this coming spring and order a deer once the 2022 are available to ship.

buying a zero turn without a fabricated deck is pointless. With how fast you can move around, the deck takes a beating. I had a troy built mustang, it ran and cut nice, but with a stamped deck, it was easy to dent, bend or twist the deck. My hustler raptor SD has the same hours my mustang did but the deck looks new besides the paint scrapes. 10 gauge deck, with 7 gauge around the spindles and the perimeter. I use my hustler for a lawn care business despite it being labeled a residential mower. with ZT 2800 hydros, kawa fr651v, and a fab deck, you can make some decent money with one. I might upgrade to a bad boy maverick HD in a couple years, as it is a more commercial mower that is available with a 42" deck.

My '21 Gravely HD60 was 5200$. 7ga deck, FR730, 8mph top speed. Punch-hole style deck height adjuster is superior imo, because that plastic dial crap can wear out and slip. Oh, my Gravely has the flip-up access to belts like the badboy also. Bonus: if you want to save 300$ the Ariens (Lowes) mower is the same except for the seat I think and a shorter warranty.

I have the Ariens, 60" with the kawasaki motor. I agree with you, they missed the mark with this one. I was looking at the bad boy in the #1 spot, and the one I bought had a better deck, motor, tire size and height selector. Oh well, to each their own.

I have the Husqvarna 242F featured on this list and I dung like it at all. I had an Arians at our last house and it felt so much better then the Husqvarna. I only have any 9 hours on it and I'm already looking to sell it and buy something else. My biggest complaint is that it only had 1 anti-scalp wheel on the deck. It's in the center so any sway on epithet side and you scalping the lawn

Great review on the different mowers. Bad Boy mowers seam to be the best overall. The only place here in NJ that sells Bad Boy is Tractor Supply. I always prefer buying from a dealer. Is this my only option and is there any difference in the mowers they sell. Thanks for sharing
@robertruedrich245 2 жыл бұрын
Tractor Supply only has the bottom mower of each model. And those are limited to 3 different models here in Texas. Dealers have upgraded models with more of each model and various engine and deck configurations.

Bad Boy mowers aren't that great. Spend the same money and get an Ariens Ikon/Apex, Scag, or a Hustler.

@@matthewoconnor5690 I haven’t heard many complaints about Bad Boy mowers. I’m not a landscaper just a homeowner looking to mow my lawn. If I was a landscaper I’d probably look for a commercial level mower or look into the commercial Bad Boy. What negative things have you heard about Bad Boy

I purchased an Aerins 60" deck and it was nearly Exactly the same as the Kubota. The Kubota was $10,000.00 and the Aerins was only $4000.00. The ONLY difference was the Kubota had 2 more H.P. more than the Aerins.

I didn't want to have 3 of the five mowers on the list be bad boy. However its just as good as the Z200 mowers that made the #2 spot. The z200 is more compact, but the mz magnum has better storage. Both have a good deck, the bad boy deck is more solid though.
