I’ve owned Toro for years and have loved them. More competition has helped with their pricing dominance. Having switched to Bad Boy I would be hard pressed to go back. The only compare would be that it is so much easier to source parts for Toro which is to be expected. Bad Boy is a winning brand and the quality is over the top.

My friend bought a brand new 2024 maverick HD 54 cut Saturday. Dropped by to show it off on the way home. The hour/tach meter was dead on it. He called them back and they didn't have one in stock, having to order one. Hope they have corrected the issues with that meter, read of a lot of people having hour meters going out. My Simplicity is 17 years old, and meter still works great. Oh, the 2025 models will have molded rubber grips on the controls instead of foam, different rubber floor mat, 4 way position on ignition switch, and added belt guards around pulleys to keep the belts from jumping off, that was an issue to many owners also.

Love my 2023 Maverick HD mower with my Honda IGX700 EFI engine. Would buy it all over again. No issues or problems

After 20 years of keeping a MTD mower alive I feel I have graduated from a torture course in keeping a not so great design in service. Of course I look at a Bad Boy with a certain twinkle in my trained eye.

[davidphillips]

I've run a lawn service for 34 years, we have always bought Toro, there's a reason for that. They last.

I have a professional question for you. If you had to choose between 2023 Bad Boy Rouge 61" and a 2023 Gravely Pro Turn 360 60" mower, which one would you choose? I'm aware of both mowers warranty and Gravely has the better warranty. The Rouge has FX1000 motor, 7:27 and the Gravely has FX921. Both have top of the line transmissions. The only difference is the Bad Boy is $700 cheaper. Which would you perfer?

[plastichair]

Congratulations, you did it. Keep it up.

Great job Matt Tell Drew to keep selling them Bad Boyz 🤣🤣🤣

What is the advantages of the renegade over the rouge ? I mow 20 acres every week sometimes twice

[BobFord-in]

bad boy an its sister company spartan continue to come out with new features in the mower industry.

[robhansen]

Love this brand and I'm looking to purchase soon. The one thing holding me back is they don't offer a bagger. Hustler has better bagger options. I wonder why Bad Boy doesn't offer a bagger option?

[AllenNelson-cw]

Can you do a video on how to replace the hydro fluid in a 2024 ZT elite with the zt 3100 transmissions? Now that they have removed the expansion tanks it is hard to tell if you are over filling them. Also are you able to add expansion tanks to these models? Thanks for your help.

I bought a new 2024 Maverick HD this week. I haven’t mowed any with it yet but when I got home with it the hour meter don’t work. It is the 54 inch I never owned a mower that vibrates so much with the deck running. I think maybe I should have tried it out before I bought it. Is it normal for them to vibrate really bad. I think it will cause my hands to go numb if I mow very long with it.

What does it actually mean to be a serviceable transmission like what does that actually really truly mean? And why is it worth so much more money

[live]

Revolt vs scag stand on. Which is better in your opinion. I have a bad boy Avenger 54 inch. I’m looking to purchase a stand on for my business probably a 48 inch

[lawnmowerman]

Asthetics aside, have they improved their quality of cut? I've demoed their lines over the years and they have never been on the level of scag, exmark/toro, ferris, etc cut IMO.

You have to sell to young people. All the old people know what the best stuff is because they've learned from their mistakes and they only buy the best stuff they can afford regardless. Young people's decisions are made on flash and catchy names. Toro isn't a catchy name and deep red isn't a flashy color. People are like fish - you mostly catch young, little fish with flashy lures and seldom catch the big ones that are old. Look at the guy in this video; he's wearing a bright orange shirt to prove my point.

I was going to buy a Maverick HD- but the only carbureted engine they offered was the Kawa 23HP, and 23 horses isn't enough for me on a 60" mower. (Don't wanna deal with the headaches and expenses of repairing EFI after the TWO year warranty ends). So instead I bought the Toro Titan Max...with the 26HP Kohler...it was cheaper, and it's an awesome mower. Shame..I would've liked to have bought the Bad Boy (Well, I think that orange color is horrible anyway)...and the Toro has a FOUR year warranty. (BB only offers the 26 Kohler in the EFI version..no thanks!)

Does Bad Boy make a rear discharge deck? If so i'm buying one...

[rodneyjordan]

I bought a rouge 54 deck that keeps having deck belt issues. They need to update the deck baffles so that it will cut like a toro, scag, hustler. I only have 20 hrs on machine. Wondering if I am the only one having this issue…
