I have a 2017 outlaw xp with the Kawasaki fx850 carburetorted. Never had a problem. Best mower I’ve ever owned. I purchased a 2023 rebel with the Kawasaki fx781v EVO. I love it also. Bad boy has never done me wrong. Great mowers…..

@josephfahey7477 Місяць тому

Decided to jump in the Zero Turn market and overloaded on YT video reviews. I have 5 flat acres. My local tractor supply had an ZT Elite. Found a BB dealer within 2 hrs and purchased from them got better financing 0/4 yrs. Getting ready for my first cut.

@MrFordguy73 15 днів тому

How was the first cut? My dad has a gravely that doesn't mow that great, it leaves grass standing behind. I was apprehensive about getting a zero turn, but I've been researching bad boy for a while.

@midlander3760 Місяць тому

The thing I find interesting among all vendors is, as you go up the line, the mowers get taller making it very difficult to get under trees. I have an old Scag Tiger Cub. It is commerical grade but I can get under trees in my yard (after removing the rollover bar years ago). I am just a residential user, but would like commercial quality, but I very much dislike the height of most high-end mowers. I would think this would be a complaint for commercial business users also. I would love to see a good commercial zero turn at the height of the residential models, not to mention that lower center of gravity is also safer on slopes.

@user-yp4ok4nx3k 28 днів тому

I like the honest assessment of the mowers.

I grew up on a sod farm, mowing grass since I was 7-8yrs old. (61 now) I just don't understand why these companies install a DARK COLORED SEAT!!? I've lived in the Memphis area and a 'ride on' seat only last a couple years, because of the sweat and heat breaks down the cheap vinyl.

@michaellammert8084 27 днів тому

I’ve wondered that myself. If only the design people sat on the seat on a hot summer day, I believe they would go to a lighter colored seat !!!

@fredrickward7672 21 день тому

My guess would be, so it hides some stains and discoloration

@johnc978 17 днів тому

So I bought a bad boy magnum over the weekend. I have around 3 acres to mow,it's pretty much a field. 1st cut of the year, too, with plenty of rain. It did really good for the first cut. It was tall grass, and it blew right through it. 3/16 deck with 1/4 inch gussets for support on this model where most are 10 or 7 gauge. The deck didn't move at all compared to say the cub cadet that has around 3 in of play. There's nothing like your deck slapping around when hitting a hole. Solid welds all the way around. May not be commercial but acts like it. The only issue and it's not that big for now is the seat. Could be more cushioned or a spring like the toro timecutter. Built like a tank and made in the USA. I'm more than happy with it and we'll see as the season goes of any issues

@MrFordguy73 15 днів тому

That's good to hear, my dad has a gravely that doesn't cut grass very well that's over 7 in tall. I was apprehensive about buying any zero-turn without doing research, and I've been looking at bad boy for a while now. Sometimes my field gets overgrown and I'll be cutting grass well over the hood of my conventional riding mower right now, and it does fine. Just wanted to see how the bad boys are?

@ronb7931 Місяць тому

I bought a Maverick HD, it was an easy choice over the Maverick given the upgrades vs cost…

@SuperJamster1 Місяць тому

Great Video and makes it easy to compare Bad Boys. Poor Rocky :P , Speaking of rocky; What is your recommendations for a mountain home, with about 2 acres of grass and hidden boulders that mower blades seem to find?

@jeremybarton6427 Місяць тому

Toro and Bad Boy are the two that I am looking at. Would love your opinion on best bang for your buck. Residential 3-4 acres. Flat, but some bumps. Looking at 5-6k area.

@standodge7687 Місяць тому

in terms of cutting, how thick of grass can these rigs cut before the engine bogs out

@Chef-James Місяць тому

So how do you like it? What motor?

@MrCentavo Місяць тому

@@Chef-James I replaced a John deer with this one and can attest, the Bad Boy is a beast of a machine. I opted for the Kohler 725cc (25hp) KT740. My buddy who works on small engines said he's seen a few issues with the Kawa's and said the Kohler was the way to go in this one (his opinion of course)..I can't imagine needing more power. This thing zips across my place like no one's business..built like a tank.

@Boomerfootball1 Місяць тому

How’s the Briggs single engine overall for 1-2 acre yard any major issues? I see a time cutter has a twin engine curious if it’s worth it for around the same price. Thank you

@UD_PandaOutlaw Місяць тому

I got my mower from Russ's Lawn Mower Repair in Martinsburg West Virginia, and they are the best family owned business to deal with. They can match prices or even do a better discount on machines! Rather deal with them than any big dollar stores that deal in all things Bad Boy machines! 10/10 recommended

Hey man. How does the bad boys do with scalping since it is not on chains like other brands. My dad and I want to give them a try since we have always owned exmark but lately we have been looking into bad boys. Thank you and lord bless you.

@howeequipment 22 дні тому

They are still floating decks so it should change anything compared to chains for scalping

@donm3844 Місяць тому

I always liked the bad boy mowers and bought a new lightning in 2008 that has been a great mower for me as a back up for years, I do commercial mowing and use a scag turf tigers, exmark or hustlers for cut quality , I bought a brand new rogue in 2022 to run but after just a few weeks didnt like it at all, the deck was way to heavy and combersome, it scalped really bad and i quickly traded it and went with another scag and just wasnt pleased with the cut quality ,scalping and how heavy and combersome it was, I wouldnt buy one for commercial mowing but maybe for home owner mowing it may be ok, If it was me buying even as a home owner , hustler is hard to beat with the 5 year warranty.

@jmabs5096 17 днів тому

I think a lot of us dont need to go faster than 5-8mph while mowing. If I go any faster the frame will split in two from how uneven ground is 😂

@CatfishLove 28 днів тому

Bad Boy is a better mower than people give it credit for, I have run mine for my home use for 8 years. replaced 1 starter and deck height adjustment switch. With that being said they need to make some changes to compete with some of the other brands for light commercial use. What we need is wider tires, a manual foot actuated deck height adjustment to raise on the fly, all larger decks should be a floating deck hanging from chains with Anti scalp wheels all around. If they would learn what the industry needs they could boost sales greatly. I am in the market for a stand on right now for smaller yards and hills, I have been looking at the revolt, but it just does meet the requirements to make that mower useable on hills and wet conditions. Skinny small tires are a no sale for me.

@techguy9023 24 дні тому

Do they offer a tractor type mower? I have hills and banks. Zero turn doesn’t work on that.

@tedm4932 12 днів тому

I wish so bad that Bad Boy Company would have a maximum deck height beyond 4.5 inches. Many people including myself likes to have grass cut at 5 1/2 inches especially in summer heat to keep the fescue healthy & green all year , but 4.5 inches is the highest the Bad Boy than 4.5 inches is the Scag with Mowers will cut. Really hate that. The only mower I know that can cut beyond 4.5 inches is the Scag Mower to 6 inches. If you got good tall fescue, and happen to be wet and you cut it at height of 3.5 to 4.0 inches, you lawn is totally destroyed. Again, I wish so bad that Bad Boy Mowers would at least have maximum deck height to 5 1/2 inches !!!!

@CatfishLove 28 днів тому

Kawasaki is the only engine I will run.!!! BAD BOY has the opportunity to compete in the commercial market but the focus too much on looks a deck steel while overlooking what we need to get a quality cut. Speed is useless without cut quality it is a mower not a drag car!! They are missing what is needed!!

@eugenejohnston3512 Місяць тому

I have a ZT Elite with 3100 series serviceable trans. I sometimes find myself out driving my blades. But I like to double cut anyway so as to push my excessive grass clippings in 1 direction. My first pass is good with just a few sprigs sticking up, but my second pass is awesome with a perfect cut. Plus I also mulch the leaves and debris down to dust and have little to nothing to rake up and haul off. I do like only having to pick up a trash can full max instead of loading my whole trailer up with leaves and grass clippings, like I've done in the past.
