Appriciate all the time and effort you have put into these videos, Pete!
I have a 2023 revolt. Had the same problem on my platform from day one. Turns out it was a manufacturing problem and the dealer had to change out a bushing in the spring. Had a recall on that part so a free fix. 50+ hours now and no problems whatsoever.
This mower is my favorite. Price is right also.
If someone says no to this mower because of a component failure missed your review. You truly did an excellent intelligent job. Thank you sir
Platform has since been updated to address those concerns.
good to hear, i like these and really want one, but that would have been an immediate no
That is why I like operator presence in the controls.
Pete, thank you for doing these videos you are truly a professional in the business and I have really enjoyed watching them. I own a 54 inch Revolt for residential use and have not had any issues with the foot plate up to this point. Overall I think this is a solid machine that with a bit of refinement could be top notch as I do notice some stragglers from a cut perspective like you mentioned in the video. Thank you Pete, keep up the great content!
Just received my Revolt 36. Only have one cut on it so far and I love it. The worst thing about it is having to wait a week to run it again!
How much did you pay for the 36? If you don’t mind me asking?
@@Southernreliablelawncare I bought it used (it had 4 hours on it) from an equipment dealer in TN. Paid about $5,300, plus the cost to transport to me in SC.
@@jasonshahn thanks man!
For the hydros you have to jack up the back side and remove the wheels to easily access the hydro filters. I also agree that the engine filter in a funky spot. Great review! I want a 54" or 61" as my next unit, I heard they fixed the bushing for the stand plate on the newest units and they will also send you the new bushing kit if you have an older model if you still have a warranty. It's good that bad boy is listening to these concerns from customers.
I’m going to eventually buy a 48” from badboy…… I really liked the honest review.
My dad’s got a commercial grade zero turn with the bigger deck, it survived a pole barn fire and the only thing needing replacement was the plastic gauges and the seat……. Bad boy hooked him up good on those.
I have a Great Dane Surfer, I looked at a Bad Boy Revolt today. Does it have any grease zerts or is it like all newer mowers now days with no grease points.
I just bought the revolt 54 and they made a kit that now comes stock I believe for the plate you stand on it’s just 2 big washer plates that make it not go down so far
Excellent job as usual.
Appreciate you sir
@@GCITurf Pete, there is a reason I consider yours one of the best channels on RUclips. Oh by the way, you were very kind to offer an "apology" to Bad Boy. If anything, the company owes you one for sending you subpar equipment. You further cemented your integrity by calling them on it. Bravo!
@@dalewiley9208 appreciate you friend
Question my man, I have the Revolt 54 and Revolt 34 to be picked up at my local dealer and i went for them do to the very good pricing along with the reviews. I got the 54" for $8200 and 34" for $5500. Is the platform drop issue and issues your having with the platform a lemon unit or is it happening on all the Revolt 54"? Iv not seen this till your video and it has me a bit concerned. My runner up prior to this unit was more on the other end of pricing and that was the Altoz TSX 61" with AT Trax and AT Deck. Have you had hands on with the Altoz?
I have the TSX. Love it
I bought my first Stander Last September. This is the mower I wanted. And I mean I really did want one of these. As Luck would have it,I live in The middle of NC and after 4hrs on the phone with any and every mower dealership within 3hrs ,I had only one salesman ONE that called me back. Explaining to him I didn't want a surfer pro 36 for my Solo business I was disappointed that the closest Revolt 54 to me was in Kentucky. I won't get into what I ended up buying I will say this, Interstate Supply in Schillings NC is NOT the place to shop unless you want to be LIED TO, MISLED,
NO VETERAN DISCOUNT, And the $5995 mower turns into $8400 mower without telling you. I should have walked to kentucky2 times.But yes I will be buyin The Revolt 54 next Spring for sure.
I have Revolt 36 and Maverick HD 48. My Revolt platform doesn’t go that low; however I have to jump up and down to get the sensor to trigger for the blades which is annoying so the I feel the platform could be improved on.
Prepare to deal with belt issues. Even local dealer (Bad Boy/Scag) says they see a lot of belt issues with Bad Boy.
Otherwise, they are great mowers for the price point IMO.
Very informative review! A+++
Excellent review!
There’s definitely something wrong with that platform. Mine actually stays higher in the back and I’m 6’3” 260lbs. I can bounce up and down on mine and it never goes that low.
It’s missing the spacer kit. Badboy released a kit to fix this. I own 2 of these mowers.
@@Joy_stick790how do I get this spacer kit. Would my dealer be able to get me one.
@@Joy_stick790 So you reccomend this mower?
Where did you get that Badboy from? I’m about 30 miles from Reidsville and looking into getting one for myself.
I was so dead set on a Wright Stander B and bang for the buck, you really can beat the Revolt. I have a Bad Boy Maverick and their decks work best with high lift blades.
Does any think the bad boy foot pan is too low?
Yes, and that downward angle would be quite tiring
Just have to learn where to stand on pan then it will stay up while your mowing
I haven’t experienced that foot plate failure.
Does anyone know how to tell if the update was done on the pan? I am picking up the Revolt 54" and the 34" Friday and want to make sure it has the issue fixed...
Although your ass was dragging the ground, at least it held your sundrop the whole time!😂
I think your plate has a defect and needs to be replaced. My plate does not do that
Great job with this review! =)
I have this mower and completely agree on the vacuum comment. It seems to lack suction. I’m wondering if high lift blades would cure it…anyone have an opinion?
I see that green drop of sun.... I hope that's for video purposes Pete.. I'm a Sundrop guy myself.
On another note, the revolt I used did not go down like that. Even standing on the very edge on tiptoes. That one definitely has an issue and not typical. I would be frustrated as well.
Great video don’t like the mowers at all cut quality is horrible used one on a tall fescue yard and had to triple cut because it was clumping like crazy
Ive seen these used on some horrible lawns and the cut quality was outstanding on one pass but high lift blades was used so think this made the difference...The price for what you get is crazy...I got 54" and 34" Revolt for $13800...Every brand has its issues but most downsides seem to have a fix on these "Bad Boys"...
As good as it looks, you would think they would have made their platform As good as the machine looks. Beautiful maxhine BUT...
The dealer does not know how to paint. That bracket had poor finish...people notice.
The quality of the cut is so bad you had to double cut...but still gets an 8?
Side discharge made up for it and it was a 9 not an 8.
Every mower has to double cut sometimes
@@shaneshonda None of the other mowers needed to double cut.
The most boring review/show down i ever watch !!
Then go watch a different review show highlighting 14 stand on mower in one place
