15 hour follow-up: I absolutely LOVE my Bad Boy Maverick 54"! The 688cc Honda engine is a beast and noticeably quieter than the Kawasaki. Even though it is a smaller displacement, I have had zero issues of bogging or anything else. It is extremely fuel efficient as well. I really enjoy the...

Have you checked your fluid level?

Bert, it is the Honda GXV 688cc.

Follow up: Kudos to Rural King of Ocala, they stepped it up and replaced the mower with a new one. I ended up having to pay $300 to upgrade to the Honda engine which i wasn't too happy about but they didn't have any of the Kawi's left so I bent a little. I couldn't afford to be without a...

I found one not far from me, i just went to the BB website, I know better than to let RK try and wrench on my stuff. :)

Hello all, I bought a Bad Boy Maverick on Sunday at the local Rural King. Ran it about an hour Sunday evening and everything went great. I really enjoyed mowing with it vs my old Gravely ZTX-52. Yesterday evening I mowed my back pastures and again, it mowed fantastic. When i was done, i...

I can say that since I have replaced the blades the mower has cut better than it did when it was new, I can mow faster without windrows and it discharges better from the chute as well. Currently have about 50 hours on the machine now.

Hello all, I read the first 10 pages but didn't have time to read the rest. I have a ZTX-52 mower I bought new 2 years ago for our small 5 acre farm. I used our tractor with 6' bush-hog for the heavy lifting. Mainly use the mower for fence lines and common areas around the house, etc...
