Default Bad boy mower

Reviews online look pretty good. Priced fairly cheap for a zero turn. Anyone have experience on one?

Default mowers

I test drove the Bad-Boy and it was my favorite mower but I didn't like the electric actuated deck heightadjustment. Prob would have bought the Bad if the deck height adjustment was manual.

I like the option of raising the deck quickly if needed and I was concerned about the reliability of the elec actuator.

Dixie has a resedential mower now in that price range as well. I was told by a former Dixie dealer "They make great mowers, but there a horrible company to deal with"with replacement parts ect.

All depends on how much $$$$ u wanna spend.

I have the 72 inch Kubota , I do love it.. But I looked at my neighbors Bad Boy and I am very impressed . If I had to buy right now it would be the Bad Boy ,all things considered i think it is the best value for the $.
Also a mechanic customer of ours has the same Kubota I have and Just got the Bad Boy and likes the BB better. He said it cuts better on uneven ground, and better ride among other things.

I looked at the bad boy and it was a quality built mower. I ended up buying a snapper pro because it had the commercial motor and it wasn't much more. My snapper pro cuts great

I have a BB 54" with the 27hp Briggs and dad has a 60" with the 27hp Kohler. No complaints from either of us. I would definitely go with the Kohler if I had to chose again. the Kohler has more torque than the Briggs or Kawasaki.

They don't all have the electric actuated decks. I have an outlaw with a 54'' deck and a 31 hp briggs and it doesn't have it. I have a little over 2 1/2 acres and i cut it in 1 hour and 15 minutes. That mower is a friction beast!! Ive cut on gravely, scagg, bobcat, cub cadet and a few others and the bad boy has the most comfortable ride and smoothest to operate hands down.
