Never haeard of it. Who makes it or is that the companies name? If it looks well built and the price is right whats the availability of parts. Does the dealer stock most? Can you get them overnighted if they don't stock it?
I've had a bunch, Bunton, Gravely, Scags, Exmark, and there's a whole lot more out there. Had the best luck with the Exmarks. The dealer I use stocks just about a whole machine in parts. If they don't have it it'll be there the next day.

Ive worked for several Lawn Services and I have used the 61" Scag Turf Tiger and a Exmark Lazer Z.The Scag is not a bad mower for the money but the Exmark was the best ive used.
Those mowers will supprise you when you get on the throttle they can fly on a yard.

There has been a lot of talk about Bad Boy mowers over the last few years among commercial guys, but have yet to run across one in use or even talked with anyone who owns one. I find that a bit unusual. The dealer I bought my Hustler from carries the line, so it's not like they are not represented in the area. Looking at it, there doesn't seem to be anything inherently wrong with it. Maybe the marketing is just not quite right.

For good advice on mowers you might want to check out www.lawnsite.com. Lots of knowledgeable people over there.
Ive worked for a Company that used a Bobcat walk behind and its a pretty nice mower. I like the dark green lines that the Buttons leave on a yard too.

Cub Cadet makes a line of ZTR mowers, both comercal and consumer. I have used their comercial M60 & M72 mowers. They are mowing machines. Last i heard the M72 is going to come out with a diesel motor option. The one i used had a 28hp gas. With the deck under the mower you can get tighter turns around objects than with the deck out front.
