Badboy mower

[Dargo]

Dargo, check out the BadBoy 6000 COMP! What are your thoughts?

One of my Grasshopper dealers started carrying the BadBoy line and got me to drive that particular machine. Now, please remember this comment is from someone with 3 ruptured discs in my back, but I thought it was the roughest roughing riding ZTR I've ever been on. I think it's so stout that it has no flex to it. The front mount mowers just ride so much better, I can't see myself ever buying a mid mount mower. There again, you pay more for a front mount mower because there is more there; you have a separate 'tractor' with a removable mower deck out front. The traction, stability on hills and ride push this old man to have to stay with front mounts.

If you're tough enough, I doubt you'll manage to break that BadBoy mower. It's likely tougher than the operator. ....at least in my case it it.

So what did you decide? Today I looked at a Toro Titan 48" ZT for mowing about 3 acres, and the dealer prefers the Bad Boy 50" ZT series for a couple hundred dollars more. Any advice from anyone on the B & S Professional Series versus the Kohler Courage Pro? Any other good mower suggestions in the same $4000 - $5000 price range?
Thanks!
