You should see all the 'help requests' on the John Deere forums. And the Kubota forums. Comes with popularity. I think it's great because then we have folks to assist each other.

10 year old post back to life! Best necrothread ever! Well, not really, but I guess it deserves dishonorable mention.

If you've hit something with a blade and either knocked a chunk out (blade would be unbalanced) or bent a spindle it may cause shaking. The former would be easy to check visually. Not sure how to check for a bent spindle. Rob

Who are you directing that at? I don't have mulching blades.

These strips happen at pretty much any mowing speed (any reasonable speed beyond a crawl), actually. And if I wanted to mow slower I would never had purchased a zero turn. My x758 was doing just fine, albeit at 4.5 hours per session.

I bought a set of Stens 315-499 Hi-Lift blades. Sharpened them up and installed them. Coincidentally, that happened at the same time as the dealer installed the new adjustable caster arms that Bad Boy sent me. Then it sat a few weeks because we have been VERY dry here in MN. But we finally got...

Possibly a safety switch. I don't know what your model looks like exactly, but on my Rogue there are switches on the control levers, the parking brake and the seat. If one of them is disconnected or faulty it may not let the mower PTO run.

Does the uncut strip line up with the front caster wheel? Where are you located? I've been through this recently and may be able to offer info depending on the answers. Rob

That sucks. Try the Bad Boy e-mail route. They've been great.

Have you tried your dealer? They were no help? Have you tried e-mailing Bad Boy? I've asked 3 or 4 questions of them before my purchase and since and they have been very helpful and responsive via e-mail. Even to the point of creating a set of alternate front arms for me to try to address an...

Lacking power under load would have me looking at the air & fuel systems. Is the air filter clean? Does the fuel filter need replacement? Is the fuel tank vent unplugged and functional? Kinked fuel line? If all that checks out, then perhaps consider cleaning the carb if it is not an EFI engine...

Well, if I was going to slow down and overlap my path that would kinda defeat the purpose of having a zero turn that can mow faster. I could just as well go back to mowing with my Deere x758 which doesn't require overlaps or multiple passes and uses less fuel (it's a diesel) and finish in the...

I have a Rogue. The suspension is definitely useful. I've mowed for ages on a Deere garden tractor (formerly a 345, in recent years a x758) and the Rogue is notably smoother. I can't compare it to any other zero-turn though. My 7 acres that I mow has a fair amount of roughness to it and the...

After looking at the Rotary blades, the stock blades look a lot like them. Very similar lift surface and notch.

So, the stock blades are 2.5" wide. And they have a single notch in them, not the serrations of the true G6. Apparently whatever info I had seen that implied the stock Bad Boy 'High Lift Fusion' blades are Gator G6 was wrong. And they don't look like G5s either. These don't have the lifting...

The Gator G6 is not primarily a mulching blade. It gets the 'mulching' attribute because of the serrations on the back side. But it is primarily a high lift blade. See attached feature list. Which is reflected in Bad Boy's renaming of it as "High Lift Fusion". In fact, I'm not entirely sure the...

I've had my Rogue back to the dealer for them to explicitly make sure things are adjusted correctly for deck leveling to try to resolve this issue and another I had. I trust that they did have a competent tech work on it. I checked the settings after and it does rake like it is meant to (1/4")...

OK, but the Bad Boy Rogue's stock blades are their "high lift fusion" blades, which are re-branded Gator G6. These are already high lift. Without knowing that some other brand or maker's blades are notably better it doesn't make much sense to just randomly swap blades looking for changes. That...

72" deck. Is there a better set of high lift blades out there?

The stock blades on a Rogue are the Bad Boy OEMs of Oregon Gator G6 high lift blades. So not much option to improve upon them. The blades are on correctly. Wish it was that easy. My dealer just mowed for the first time in quite a while (we've been in a near-drought situation here in central...

Thanks for the tips! That's the info I was hoping to find. Rob

Thanks! How did you find that Stens page? It never came up in all the searching I did with the Bad Boy, Yamaha, Gravely or Exmark parts numbers. And no, I typically wouldn't go to Amazon for something like this because for auto parts of this type they usually are much higher than local stores...

Anyone have a better ability than me to find a cross-reference to this Yamaha small engine oil filter from a major brand? It's a pretty standard sized filter so I'm certain it has to have a compatible cross-reference. I just couldn't come up with anything in my search. YAMAHA 7UD-E3440-00 It's...

I bought a Bad Boy Rogue this spring and have used it to mow my 7 acres multiple times now. I'm experiencing a persistent problem with it that is maddening and I cannot find a resolution to it. The front wheels knock the grass down and it doesn't spring back fast enough to get mowed so...
