I have a 2007 60 inch cut Bad Boy ZT with a 26 hp brigs motor on it. the mower is old but still looks and cuts and runs like new. Purchased at TSC new in 2007. These mower's are built like tank's and with a little love whey will last forever! You can't go wrong with a Bad Boy.

I bought a 2021 Zt Elite /Kohler. I use it to cut 2 1/2 acres around my home. The first season I put 21 hours on the machine and it has been awesome. Very easy machine to work on, probably the easiest I've seen. Know it's ues to date and the elite has the upgraded 3100 Trans axles. You won't be disappointed with this machine.

Thanks for the video. I was leaning toward getting a Magnum but after seeing the lack of features for the price point of the machine. I am now considering the Ariens for slightly less money more features with the same engine.

I just bought a Maverick 54-inch this past week with the
688cc Honda motor. I mowed overgrown grass that was wet almost twice as quick
as my 54-inch Husquvarna with an infinitely better cut as well. It took all the
leaves from under a large maple and pulverized them without bogging down at all
and blew them wherever I wanted them to go for decomposing. My older John Deere
(real John Deere not a box store version) nor either my 46-inch or 54-inch
Husqvarna riding yard tractor/mowers can touch this Bad Boy Maverick for power,
speed, cut quality. I was worried about it being under powered as it is rated 2
less horse power than the Kawasaki but the dealer had a year end close out
special on the Honda and I could not resist the price and that it was a Honda
motor. Well, and after talking directly with two people at Bad Boy, one who had
actually operated the mower with the Honda motor with a 60-inch deck, they assured
me it would not be under powered, and they were absolutely right. Incredibly
well built mower that gives an amazing cut that is fast and incredibly
comfortable. Looked as Ferris ISX800 and Toro MyRide due to the suspensions and
ultimately chose the Bad Boy and am super happy with the comfort of the ride
and my decision. I was concerned about the rocking back and forth on the Toro
MyRide as well as the MyRide system uses the entire deck for the comfort ride
which leaves you without easy access to belts and pulleys plus the Toro real
wheels are more narrow than all the comparable mowers. Ferris is a great
machine but for my 2.5 acres I mow every about every 5-days during peak season,
I am sure this Bad Boy Maverick high end consumer mower will give me all the
years out of it that I need at quite the savings compared to the Ferris. For
the record, Ferris ISX800 is an amazing machine also.

Gonna go with a Bad Boy Zero for my business and all my land to mow (10 acres) because I have operated all and personally consider Bay Boy the very BEST in mowers all around.
CANT GO WRONG WITH A BAD BOY!!!
MIDWAY HAWG SHED will ALWAYS look very nice all around, for its customers!
Here in the country, between Carthage, NC and Robbins, NC we call our community MIDWAY. We have one stop sign, one Church, one Grill and being on Plank Road were there is only nature yet the first Intercontinental highway in our country, (the business is 20ft from it!) MANY motorcyclists ride by each weekend by the hoardes!

I've counted as high as 350 and just stopped, as I deducted this to be a waste of precious time whereas could be utilized elsewhere for greater accomplishments.

I will be purchasing a new Bad Boy very soon...
I know it could sure be used on my "Adopt a Highway" section of both sides of Plank Rd from church to Grill...
And, greatly appreciated!

Ya'll the heat!, Bad Boy!!!

And, I've mowed with them ALL!

Did not hear about the trans that’s what turns the wheel.but great job showing and telling, have a great day see ya next time see ya bye.

What will you use it for? What size mowing deck is right for you, based on how tight is your yard in spots, and what is the terrain like? What features or comforts can you live without? Price you can afford? That is what it comes down to with any mower. I have an 2017 MZ Magnum 54" Mower, and I like it. I mow 2.5 acres each time I mow. I also mow a Dog pen, with a 6ft entrance gate. I have spots between bushes and house too narrow for a larger mower. I'd love to have a better suspension and seat, etc, but, this was the price I could afford to enter the ZT mower market, and get the Heavy Duty quality deck and mower I wanted. And My wife works at TSC and gets a discount also made it attractive. But the mower has been a good one. I have no complaints. I upgraded to "no flat" tires this year. and am just now replacing the Drive belt. The Blades are awesome for these mowers. and I like the kholer engine. I'd never had one before. So far, it's been steady and reliable. Maybe one day in the future, I might get an upgrade, but for now, I'm satisfied. It beats the old tractor style mowers I used for years. It shaved off a lot of mowing time for me too. If you can afford it, get the best features you can of course.

Lots of great information, answered a lot of questions. Thank you!

On the issue of a tight deck adjuster, if you push the foot pedal to far down, the adjuster will bind a bit. Try not pushing the pedal to its max.

[brianwideman]

Great in depth video, would have liked to hear about deck Guage differences if any ?

Purchased a Bad Boy Maverick 54-inch Deck with Honda 688cc Motor a couple of weeks ago and could not be happier. I was concerned about the Honda motor being smaller than the Kawasaki by 2hp that the mower might be under powered. It is not under powered at all!. I spoke with two different people at Bad Boy who said it would not be, and one of them had actually had tested the unit personally with a 60-inch deck. Got a great end of year price on the mower and after comparing to a Ferris ISX800 and a Toro Toro Zero Turn MyRide I chose the Bad Boy Maverick. I loved the Ferris but I think the Maverick is built every bit as well as the Ferris, but not with the Ferris price tag. That said, the Ferris suspension is probably better, but I mow 2.5 acres every 5-days, not 5-10 yards each day. Speaking of suspension, the Ferris suspension is really got me looking at the Maverick as it too has a great suspension. So not only did I cut my mow time almost in half (probably will be half with a bit of practice), but is super comfortable and the cut is amazing. Infinitely better cut than either of my two Husqvarna riding yard tractor/mowers. I chose the Maverick over the Toro because it has better transmission, and I did not like the suspending riding deck/platform on the Toro that looked like it bounces too much and also does not allow access to the top of the mower deck for service. I wrote a review about a week ago and it has been erased… Let’s see if this one (same exact content) gets deleted.

I’m actually about to buy a 2020 36 hp bad boy rebel with a 61 inch deck probably the best mower brand out there God bless Praying for everyone praise Jesus.

[jeremyburks]

The Magnum has sealed pumps and the higher tier mowers do not. You can actually service them and get more life out of them. Dealing with that issue now on my Magnum. Get at least the ZT Elite to avoid $1, 000 repair per pump on a $3, 500 mower. Upfront cost of upgrading pays for itself.

[davidworthey]

I've ordered a zt elite through tractor supply. 48 inch deck. I'm really excited to see if this thing lives up to the hype. It looks very well built but I've noticed a lot of issues with spindle bearings going out quickly. I've also noticed that they are super easy to repair. Also noticed the deck height adjuster is almost always super tight. Again super easy to fix. Just loosen the bolt on it. I can deal with the little things and so far I've not seen any videos of any major issues with the bad boy mowers. Can't wait to get it in. Hoping this coming week. They told me it usually takes weak and a half to two weeks.

[wandabales]

How is it on rough ground. Will it stand up to that kind of a beating. My neighbors cows got out when it was muddy well I have a lot of deep holes

[allaniideas]

WHICH MOTOR IS MADE IN AMERICA, , IF ANY VERY VERY IMPORTANT AT THIS TIME IN HISTORY

[ericstinnett]

[scanyoursector]

You missed a BIG one! The Maverick has a suspension, while the two lesser expensive ones do not have!
