You can get the air ride suspension seat upgrade but it's not cheap

That's great!

Thanks for the comment! Might I suggest trying out the Rebel with a suspension seat? I think you'll find a suspension seat on the rebel is going to be pretty close to that myride feeel. Also, If you're comfortable with a 60" cut the maverick HD is also a great choice, Happy Mowing!

​@TractorBobs just wondering, when does Bad Boy come out with new model year mowers? My local shop says ordering the one I want might be tricky as Bad Boy starts ramping down production this time of year. While we still have 4 months of cutting in Ohio, most people don't keep getting in a lot of inventory.

Everyone is on a budget.

not really, because an ezt-2200 transaxle is non serviceable, I think. The ezt 2800 can do a fluid and filter change. It's also a weak transmission. but 3100 steps into commercial, so you'll pay extra.

Thank you for letting me know!

I think it's light duty compared to other mowers you can get at that price. I think you might be talking about the 235 because I don't think a 231 model exists. I say, as long as you take good care of the mower it should be just fine for you!

@@TractorBobs sorry Z315E ZTrak

​@@dougdozier8782 I think this is as good as the Toro & Ariens on my list, but just slightly worse than all the other mowers in the video. Only because it's lighter duty and doesn't have quite as many features. That said if you have about half an acre or less, with no problem areas, this mower will do ya just fine my friend!

Waste of Money

Nice! Thanks for the update!

I just bought a bad boy MZ Rambler 42” $3600 msrp

I agree it’s a waste of time

All are really junky

Based on my research John Deer still has a stamped deck at this price point. Stamped decks are terrible. They are weaker and more likely to bend. Until they improve their decks with fabricated decks they will never be as good as these mowers listed. You can then talk about JD spindles which are aluminum and they warp. Most of the repair shops hate John Deere because their reliability is not what it used to be. I owned an JD 300 series mower and it lasted 17 years not much of shop time in it aside from standard maintenance. However the deck didn't cut straight for the last 12 years and I had to make multiple passes took hours to cut 1.5 acres. I thought it was blades. Could never figure it out. Took it to a shop and found out the deck was bent. 1k to replace a new frame time for a new tractor. I will never buy a stamped deck again.

Stamped no scalp wheels on the 42 inch cut

The deck is fabricated but the material thickness of the deck is thinner than others. I went to my local dealer and stepped on the Ariens deck and felt very flimsy compared to the bad boy. As far as comfort though they have one of the most comfortable seats I have ever sat in.

It almost boils down to what color you like

I dont think you're the first to notice, lol.. The more affordable the mower, the more similair they become.

@@TractorBobsbuild quality, can’t break the bad boy but I have to keep pumping the front tire.

@@everettware3466 Sounds like you got a problem, get no-flats or beet juice!

All drive train ( Bottom of the line). Don’t buy from a box store. Big mistake, They will send you somewhere else to do the warranty work.

No sir I wanted to include Ferris, they make one of the better mowers in my opinion. Would have included the 300s but the price tag on that is $4000 in 2023, making it just a bit too expensive for this video.

@@TractorBobs Thank you

NO NO. They have been bested due to still having a stamped deck and aluminum spindles at 3500 price point.

I agree that the motor on the cub is best at this price point. If Rambler had the Kawasaki or a Kohler it would be a 3800 tractor. The 2024 version of the Cub comes with the Kohler motor. The Kawasaki version is over $4,000. Build quality on the Rambler is excellent best overall with 7 gauge steel. Serviceability on the Rambler is fantastic because the deck is completely flat. He apparently didn't like the open frame style around the motor of the cub. Although he didn't mention it, the cub does use aluminum spindles and the deck although it is fabricated it is not totally flat and is 10 gauge. He also loves Bad Boy so there may be some bias there. All in all the Cub has a great set of options for home use however right now its build quality is not on par with the Rambler. I also have heard horror stories about the Cub and deck vibration issues and uneven cuts. I personally like the MZ Magnum it is a bit more money but it is everything that the Rambler is plus a bigger deck and better motor. Cash price is 4,175 and puts it at the same price point as the Cub with the same Kawasaki motor in 2024.

If that mower had a Kawasaki or Kohler it would be great. Not to mention that brigs isn't even a twin.

Just bought a rambler yesterday, has a Kohler 🤙🏼

I have the original Kholer engine in my 1974 cub. Lol who’s buying mowers every few years? That’s dumb af

My Briggs been running for over 20 years

I agree. I like the BadBoy features but it looks like the Bat mower with those goofy fenders.
