Thanks for the responses, so far, but me-thinks, (reading between the lines), that some responders have agendas of their own.
Although, I have not handled mowers as a dealer, in the past, I am not completely ignorant of these product lines.
I have personnally used several brands on my homeplace ( large area to mow), through-out the years--(I'm an old fart!)----and I can truthfully say, that I have never used a machine that compares to the Bad Boy. I have only used the Catepillar Diesel on my place----but I found it to be the most stable, comfotable to operate, as good or better cut than any, most easy to access maintainance points, and the toughest built machine of any I have used.
That, along with competitive pricing, and the sense of the company's aggressiveness---lead me to take the line on as a dealer.
I would really like to hear from customers, who have actually purchased and personnally used the Bad Boy mowers. I have no problem with hearing negatives---as long as they are first hand.
Never-the-less---I still thank you ALL for your responses.
