Good honest review. Thanks for sharing your experience on it.

The foot pad is mounted the same as the chute. It just needs to be tightened up. Also, the front yokes are not greased enough from the factory. Once greased, you can cut straight and it's not so jersey. This is what I've learned after a month of purchasing mine,

I preorder one when they came out... mine doesn't have a swing/hinged cage in the back or a spot for towing something...im guessing i ordered too early...dang i could use the swing cage and the hitch!!!....and yes i have the ZT6000 60 inch....but it's the best mower I've ever cut with...i do like it...i was on a waiting list when it came out...i paid 10, 500 ...a big decision to pay that much for a mower...glad i did!... VERY GOOD REVIEW!!

I have owned a Bobcat XRZ 52 for 7 years, Just had to change that itty bitty battery for the first time. They are not a wet cell battery, I tried to buy a larger one and the dealer told be straight up that I didn't need a bigger battery. Those safety features... I think the same way you do, or did. My mower normally is set at two and a quarter inches. It picked up a quarter inch thick triangular piece of scrap metal, where it came from I have NO idea. Bobcat blade tips spin Super Fast! It threw that piece of metal and stuck it up in a pine tree three quarters of an inch deep. Deep enough to seriously hurt or kill another person or animal. So, ever since then No one is allowed outside while I am mowing and I use All of the safety features. I have tried the Bad Boy brand. Very well built mower. Maybe I am just used to the Bobcat but the Bobcat seems to mow much faster and smoother.

Wow look at that mower !!! It's a super tank !!!

[mikescaffo]

Bobcat has a nice mower I have a ferris and love it best mower I ever used because I need suspension

[kennyplay]

Try letting air out of the tires. Less tearing

[BTBRV]

This, the ZT6100, equivalent Kabota, John Deere, or Exmark?

I hope you see this comment and reply to me!!! I love my Bobcat but I’m also at the point to where I am going to sell it and go a different route because the steering is so bad on it. Even when brand new it was like the responsiveness of the steering was extremely bad. I have problems holding hills and doing any type of incline turns because you can never really tell what your tire is doing because the steering is so sloppy and almost loose. My bars are tight but it takes so much movement just to start a turn. You say yours is herky jerky and mine is the exact opposite. Do you think both of my transaxles are bad or possibly weren’t bled correctly?

Your drives can easily be adjusted to help with going straight. I think It’s covered in the owners manual.

[metalrooves]

herky jerky and hard to mow straight? and tires tearup grass?, , wh would l buy one ?..

First of all I want to say great video. I love the honest opinion on the mower it’s hard finding a video where someone is not semi biased on a particular brand. I cut grass for a living on a big scale. I’ve owned toro, husqvarna, and have the new Bad Boy revolt in a 61 inch. I am looking to buy this same exact mower next week. I’m only worried about one thing in particular. Maybe you can help me! I have a Toro zmaster 48 inch cut with the similar deck design. I actually retired the mower this past year and went down another direction with the bad boy. The reason I retired toro was due to the deck. I understand you have to keep the channels clean in order to get a nice cut. On the toro I was having to stop after every yard and clean out the deck because it would skip grass no exception. If the yard was even a least bit wet for example early morning dew being on the grass you may as well not even unload the mower off the trailer because the deck would just clog up and not cut. My fear with buying this mower is I may run into the same problem. When you are cutting 9-10 yards a day it is purely a hinderance to stop after every yard to clean out from under the deck. With your honest opinion do you think I will run into the same problem with the bobcat mower? I know on the bad boy revolt it does not matter how wet the grass is it will cut it and I never have to stop and clean out the grass from under the deck. And that saves me a huge amount of time. I thought I would leave a comment to get your opinion on the matter. Thank you sir!

Rented one for a larger contract job I had. Me nor my employees liked the Machine. Turned it back in.

Great review I like the Bob cat especially the 6100 but have also been looking at the Hustler Fastrak SDX. I also need to be able to tow a small yard cart. In your opinion which way would you go and why. The other unit I have considered is the Scag range do you have anything thoughts you could share with me to help me decide, cheers Ken

[alwaysuplate]

Sold on precise deck adjustment, very nice mower 👍The amount of throw coming out the side of the deck is impressive too

[kennyplay]

I have Hustlers as well. Nothing tracks like a Hustler

[donlucas]

My question is does it have any grease fittings. Can you order it with a bigger deck to get under trees and bushes. That is always a problem.

[scslawncare]

The rear tires are absolutely fine! For it to tear it up well that’s just operator error, I mow commercially and never had that problem but the tires on them are a great tire for hills, They grip very well!!

[jimboppre]

You should show how to get blades off to sharpen. Some mowers are a pain in the butt.

[scrapplepig]

How does it cut at 2" at 4", blade changing? How it the speed? How is it if you have to do repairs, can you get to different places to service it.
