Hello and PLEASE H E L P :-)

No way would I ever consider or buy a Bad Boy Mower. The reason I say that is because a good majority of the BBM TSC received here needed to be repaired before they could be sold. TSC here doesn't even keep any in the store anymore all they stock and have outside are the Huskee, MTD and Cub Cadets.

TSC stores here are have the have cub cadet and bad boy mower zero turns. Plus the regular cub cadets and huskee.

Thanks, Gainesville / Ocala area.

Think I've eliminated the swisher. A lot of reviews claim poor quality, and sorry experience with the manufacturer.

The other 2 brands are pretty even for me.

Went around today looking for dealers that sell in my area. Not much luck. Mostly small engine repair shops that advertise selling ztr. Going to check out Ocala in the next few days.

All in all I would be happy with these 2 or even other brand mowers. At first I only wanted to spend $3500. Then after reading about cheap decks and non serviceable trans I am willing to pay more now rather than later. Still need to keep it under $5000 .

Yep, I agree with user Ric...the Bad Boy ZT Elite carried at TSC is NOT high-quality. If you can find a Bad Boy "dealer", the Outlaw series is worthy of consideration, but even they have mixed user reviews. Do you have a Toro dealer nearby? The Toro Titan series is a very good mower and there should be some within the $5K budget you have. The Husqvarna MZ ZT series is also VERY good high-end Residential ZTR's and reasonably priced.

I disagree. There's nothing wrong with the Bad Boy mowers. There built very well just like a Toro or a Hustler. Just go to a dealer to buy your mower if you dont wanna buy a mower from a big box store.

If there's nothing wrong with the BBM why does TSC have to send them to a dealer to be fixed before they can sell them. That doesn't say much for there quality control.

Must be just small handfull. Both TSC stores here dont have that problem.

Took a Big Dog c sseries for a spin. Seemed ok but not for 5 grand. Looked at Bobcat and Dixie zee2. Still leaning towards either the husky or hustler.
