Titan ZX5000, Bad Boy MZ, or Toro TimeCutter

[robersml]

I'm in need for a mower for my lawn care business and need the most bang for my buck, and am basically looking for the toughest residential unit out of these. I'll be cutting approx. 4-5 acres per week, with 2 acres at one time, then the rest of the 2-3 split up into 1/2 acrse yards probably

Toro Titan ZX5000 for 3999 (50'')
Bad Boy MZ 48'' for 3499 .... or
Toro TimeCutter 50'' for 2999

I would honestly really like to downgrade to the 50'' timecutter b/c of my budget, but depending on what you guys think, if the bad boy delivers a much better deal for only 500 more, I might stay with it, even though it does stretch my pocket.

Let me know what you think of the quality of these if you could. thanks.

One thing to consider is that the warranty on the Toro Timecutter is for residential use only. Any commercial usage would be a violation of the warranty, and coverage might be greatly reduced. I'd ask the Toro and Bad Boy dealers for details on the warranty when used as you describe. Better to know now, rather than later.

Depending on which engine and your personal preferences..
I have the Toro Titan with the fully welded mowing deck.. have had it for 3 years now and absolutely love it.

I think that Titan model has the Kawasaki engine. Once you hear it run next to a B&S or similar, you'll want nothing but the Kawasaki.
