How bad is the Bad Boy Magnum 54"  

I have a 2024 Magnum with 3 hours on it. It came with a Kohler 26hp engine with a can air filter. Got it at TSC really nice lots of power, Got the helper stick to get on the mower that really helps, I am over 67 years old and over weight. Also got the track seat to give me a nice ride and a seat adjustment. When the seat goes bad will get one with arm rest. Really a heavy duty frame and easy to access everything so grate to fix. Glad I got this one over the more expensive ones.

I blow down mine after every use and keep it stored out of the elements, and give it some TLC. Mine is 6 years old and looks brand new😊

i have a Bad Boy ZT Elite....im at 60hrs and no issues at all....literally nothing. i think this is a case of get what you pay for lol.....im getting the Revolt next.

Didn't know about that battery hold down issue. Thanks so much! You just saved me a ton of heartache

You're videos are very informative and I appreciate the time spent to make them. I just bought a home in CT, about 1.5 acres with prob 1.0 acres being a mixture of grasses. Had one of these Bad Boy mowers when i lived in TX, not sure which model it was (seller had left it) - but after some tinkering with it, it certainly was a decent mower. So, the latest '24 model Magnum is being delivered this week. I'm pretty handy and can usually figure sh!t out, but - thanks for giving me some "heads-up" on what to look for and what to watch on the mower (that isn't stated in the manual). Hell Yeah! A cigarette Lighter for dear ol Grandpap when he'd cut the lawn after church on Sunday! Lovin' it. Peace!

That hard to get to grease zerk.....I just took a 1 inch hole saw on my drill and put a hole right there through the metal and I can easily attach my grease gun on it.

Yes, the lack of that center anti scalp wheel is a issue. I cant believe they left that off. Their cost to add one would have probably been less then $5. But for most this doesnt come in to play because they have perfect flat yards of sod. That isnt my case I have 1.5 acres of rough uneven lawn. Seems these companies all of them come so close to being perfect but none of them can hit it out of the park.

if u don't leave Ur mower outside Ur seat won't soak up moisture nor will it rust

Don't put your phone on mower,dust will fill up the speakers and you want be able to hear it lol😂

Before I bought my MZ Magnum, a salesman at a place I was looking at them was trying to sell me a different brand. He told me that they had a bunch of frames out back that had broken under warranty. Later I called the factory & they said that was BS, as a matter of fact all of their mowers have the same frame! Also that grease zerk you were talking about really is a pain. I had to take it to the dealer the first time & have them do it & show me where it was. I then called Bad Boy & they told me how they do it, which seemed to be a pain, but the next 2 times I greased it, I finally got it done with a longer hose. This last time, I lifted up the rear with the front end loader on my tractor, and there it was in plain sight & easy to access! All in all I love it! BTW I had the dealer install an after market seat that gives you full back support, has a lumbar accessory, reclines back, and has adjustable arm rests.

I think the majority of your complaints are solved on the more expensive models.. you get what you pay for.

The bi%est gripe you have is paying $4600 for a magnum! I just paid $5100 for a ZT elite...

i lied....i did have one issue.....low pressure in one tire
