The model I want only comes with the Kohler engine, it has to be better than a Briggs and Stratton.

Anyone have experiences with this brand of mower? :dunno:

I spoke with the guy that sells them off of Cook Rd. They sounded like a very good mower other than the price tag. He had mentioned a 1/4" deck on them to keep them from rusting out. Sounded pretty good. My buddy ended up getting one and so far has really liked it. He may have paid around $7,800 for it.

Must be an older model, doesn't look like their current line. :dunno:

He just bought it last month from the dealership. It's a 2014. Not sure what model your looking at though. The kholer motors have come Far. As long as it's not the kholer courage series. I have heard bad thing about them. But hear say is hear say, I have no experience with the kholer.

Cook RD. IS Kubota dealer they are nice nut spendier than Badboy for what you get and baggers systems are costly.

The evenness and cut quality are outstanding for a machine that goes 7 MPH while mowing, my Johndeere could not even come close to that at its slow speed.

A couple years ago my rider steering linkage broke so my brother brought over his Gravelly mower for me to use with a 60" deck if I remember correctly. I loved how fast it was but my lord I may well been riding a bull or a 70's dirt bike. I think I would buy one if it wasn't for that. It takes me between 2:30 minutes to 2:45 to mow it all but, I have a lot of obstacles and basically 4 different areas to mow. After 11 years of it it isnt much fun anymore. In fact, I mowed tonight.
My rider is a Honda 18 HP and it is 2000 model with a 48" deck. Still runs like a top, deck is in good shape. Probably one of the wisest investment I have ever made :tup:

Dad and I have almost identical Husqvarna riders, mine has briggs and his has the kohler....briggs far and away has been the better engine of the two.
his has a nasty governor surge and now it's hard starting. I got to dig into it see why it won't fire up. mine's never even hiccupped. They've both been eating the same gas from the same barrel.

Well my JD has a Briggs and likes new head gaskets every 300hr or so, hopefully the Kohler will be more reliable. :dunno:

I was going to Buy A Bad Boy last year, ended up buying a Husqvarna MZ52LE with a Kawasaki motor and fabricated deck and am very happy with my purchase and the cost savings over the Bad Boy.
What did you pay for yours?
They are good but they don't have side bagging as an option which really sold me on mine.

$4200.00 0% interest for 48 months is what I Paid for mine. The Bad Boy Zt elite was the comparable mower I was looking at, It had the same motor and tranmission's as mine but it did have a heavier deck on it. It also was $1400.00 more
