I mean I'm seriously just blown away flabbergasted mind blown at everything I've just read I purchased a bad boy last year and I took it back within 12 hours of owning it they don't even make it where you can adjust the light bars to go faster than the 5 mph 6 mph it goes it was probably the worst of the team that I tried out until I found the best company in the world which is Spartan there is no other comparison to it I just recently bought a earrings Apex from somebody on marketplace for super cheap just so I can sell so I can upgrade my Spartan to a bigger Spartan and I put the Ariens Apex which has commercial grade hydro and your answer for your hydras you don't want Hydra gear any transaxle with hydros on it is going to have gear reduction which means you're not going to go as fast as it says it says it'll go when you're cutting or going uphill or going through tall grass with Parker's you don't have gear reduction or you'll have up to at least 25% less gear reduction even my RZ residential went 3 mph faster than the Apex and the Apex could not make it up half the hills that my Spartan can make it up I can drive the Spartan with one hand and cut a yard flawlessly and never have to use my other hand because the light bars are so precise and accurate with the GT track the comfort is not a comparison nor is anything about bad boy and Spartan except but the brothers owned that boy and one split off and made a better company Spartan they go faster they have 10 times more commercial grade parts for I have is cheap as bad boy I would put $10,000 I would bet anything of mine I would bet my Spartan I put my Spartan up against any bad boy on the market and my Spartan will sit right beside it and do better if not just as good even if it's a $10,000 bad boy my RZ Spartan will outdo it in any test you would like to put it to sorry that you got all this bad information from all these people but in Spartan has a lifetime warranty on the leading the edge of the deck which means the whole mower pretty much has a lifetime warranty oh and it has a PTO switch lifetime warranty but she never heard of that and they also send you a box with hat koozie pen stickers and piece of paper saying over to the Spartan family no other motor company in the world does that and find another company that has an interstate battery on their mower besides Spartan no one had that find one that has keyless personal key code to start and stop it I think one other company has that just put one Barton beside a bad boy and just look at it and I mean oh my God I just can't believe any of the stuff I started to read but I didn't even read it because I would have just got more mad and just blown away at how dumb people are or uneducated they are but Spartan will take a s*** on bad boy all day any day even their smallest rzc that goes 8 miles an hour I guarantee you can't find a bad boy for under $9,000 that goes 8 mph and it still won't do 8 mph cutting because of the gear reduction rzcs and rzs the residential Spartans they have tough torque stainless steel charge pumps so they don't lose your reduction near as bad so they still go 9 miles an hour and rzc their smallest residential 3500 mower with a 7 gauge deck goes 8 mph that's their 42 in I believe bad boys $7,000 42-in MZ rambler or whatever they just came out with I think it goes 5 miles an hour cutting anybody that can say bad boy was better than Spartan has not done any research and doesn't know that Robert Foster who started Spartan invented bad boy!! And got it before his company became another box store piece of crap like bad boy has become I think they're only more that actually goes as fast as the $4,000 RC that I have which is 9 mph is like they're 10 or 12,000 mower my bad boy lol not to mention the spindles that they put on Spartans as well are the same as the ones on $30,000 commercial tractors
