ZT buying help

southerniltractor · May 13, 2012

I'm considering a Bad Boy Commercial Zero Turn mower, or perhaps even something in the Outlaw series. I've never used a zero turn, but from everything I hear they save a butt-load of time.

Please keep us updated with your experiences with the Bad Boy. They look great with lots of steel used in 'em. I'll probably make my purchase in July. If I get a Bad Boy, I"ll let you know how it does for me.

Thanks,
Mike

So far so good. I've got about 3.5hrs on it. I've been mowing down some of the more overgrown parts of the yard. Grass up around 3' tall. Mows through with not the first bog of the motor.

Comparing the ZT i got to the CZT I can't see the extra money. The big difference is the transmissions which bump mowing speed up to 10mph from 8mph. I don't know that I could have made use of the extra speed. Full tilt on the mower is great in the perfectly flat spots. I only have about 25% of my yard where full speed works w/o bucking over ruts etc. The Outlaw XP with the suspension would probably alleviate that all together.

Either way, i'm thrilled so far and will keep the thread updated.
