Based on your review, I decided to get the suspension seat. I looked at the difference between the Maverick and the Maverick HD. The seat is about a $800 dollar upgrade for the Maverick. The seat comes standard with the Maverick HD. The Maverick HD has the 3400 hydraulics, and two 6.5 gallon tanks, in addition to also having the suspension seat. I found the Maverick HD with a 60" deck Kawasaki engine at my local dealer in stock and I bought it for not a lot more than adding the suspension seat to a Maverick. My old riding lawn tractor used to beat me up. No more getting beat up with the Maverick HD. Thanks for the advice in your review. I am very happy with my purchase.
Congrats on the new ride! I got 3400 Hydro-Gear as well. The HD version is a better choice if the money is right. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
Yes, Kohler is excellent. I would recommend to you that after you start it, you let it warm up for a moment, not just take off on a cold engine (it's not a car). Then, same principle... once to move the machine go >slow< for the first minute or two.. Let the hydro and belts warm up a little. The machine is already saving you a huge amt of time, you can take it easy on it when it's cold to avoid future problems (also same thing on shut-down: idle the motor down for a bit first) 👍 ~
Thanks for the tips! Much Appreciated! Thanks for watching and commenting! 👍
And don't fire it up cold at full throttle. Also, after running it hard for a while bring it down to idle for 30-60 seconds to let the engine cool before shutting it off. This allows everything to cool down evenly. Also won't vapor lock the carb, so it should start without the choke once warmed up.
@@riccochet704 Exactly 👍 ~
My most valuable takeaway from this fine video of yours, and my other research, while I'm shopping slowly :
Ergonomics!
Ergonomics!
Ergonomics!
Our bodies should Priority One
In your 70s like me: Ergonomics matters. I was going toward a bobcat as my son has been content with on his 3+ acres now for 8 years running right...and from a dealer, not big box store.
Er
Mower shopping and this helps. Thanks for the good ideas, thoughts and video.
Much appreciated! Let us know what you decide. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
Well Justin I guess Bad Boy should make you a rep. Because of your video I went to a dealer today and tried out that seat and you were 1000% spot on. Having had back surgery, the seat was the difference. I now own a Maverick HD. Thanks for making an informative and straightforward review. Keep it up. 😊
Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
Wow! man I dig how you explained everything where I can understand it, I have learned quite a bit this morning here in Indiana...thanks Justin, now I want me a Bad Boy Zero Turn..
Bad Boy Mowers are a great choice. 👍🏻 Thanks for watching and commenting
Thanks for the best video out there. I really mean that , you did a great job and sold me on the maverick bad Boy .
Much appreciated 🙏 Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
Justin....thank you for your "straight line no BS" info. much appreciated.👍
Thank you for watching and commenting 👍🏻
Great review video. I am about to get a new mower and needed to see a good review on the Maverick. Thanks.
If you are looking into Bad Boy Mowers, you can consider Spartan Mowers. One of the guys that helped build Bad Boy company decided to start Spartan. Both well-built mowers.
Great video!!! Thanks for all the info! Real time experience! Yahoo
Much appreciated
Awesome vid. Just bought a maverick 54" kawi. Thank you brother! Well done
Awesome! Congrats! Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
Great video on your Bad Boy mower. I’ve watched a ton of videos on the Bad Boy and it looks like a great mower for the money. That air ride seat would be top on the list for me as well.
Appreciate it! So far I am pretty happy with it. I am going to be changing those blades very soon. I might try to make a video on that. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
Great comprehensive review...nice job!
Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
Great video. I agree on the Kohler motors. Kohler been building motors for 90+ years.
Built in the USA also. 🇺🇸 Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
I bought the Maverick in 2022(March). Overall I would agree with most of you observations. My experience is build quality is by far the most durable of any of the zero turns I have had. At least at the price point. So easy to grease the fittings, change the filters/fluids in the fall before you put the battery on the tender.😉 I use a blower to clean it off after use, and I always blow off the machine, never use water until its completely cooled down. Especially on the deck parts. I don't want to weaken or warp any parts.......
I mow about 3.5 acres and its fairly smooth, but if I were mowing rough ground or mowing a lot. The seat is worth it. I have the 54" deck, just for maneuverability, lot crap to get in and around on the property. I have the Kawasaki engine. I really would like to have the Briggs with 28HP. Just for a little more power at the blades. I don't need to go any faster. 7, 8, 9 MPH who cares, I would say its around 5 mph around the entire yard.
I never need the choke after its been running. I will say this the Kawasaki is LOUD. My neighbor has the same machine as I do but he has the Kohler and its not as loud. You might say why would it matter. Spend 2-4 hours sitting in front of it and you will understand. I always wear ear protection, but just noteworthy that it is a louder motor.
Louder than the kohler? I think the kohler is loud as hell. I agree, after mowing 3 to 4 hours straight sound population begins to be rather bothersome. Definitely want to use good ear protection. I like listening to some music and just getting my mow on. Just picked up the wife a EGO Z6 electric zero turn. I don't expect it to be a Maverick, but after some use, I will try to review that also. I really want to try the DR 60" electric mower but haven't seen it anywhere other than online.
Kawasaki much more reliable and durable than any Briggs or Kohler.
Hey Man one of the best Maverick reviews I’ve seen thanks for taking the time and showing us the real deal on this beast!
Was looking for this exact mower with the Kawasaki but all dealers near me were completely out so only option left that they had was a 2022 Maverick “HD” so had to pull the trigger on her damn the bad luck haha!
Getting delivered on Monday can’t wait to try out that air ride seat!!
Thanks again for the awesome video jeep ‘em coming!
Much appreciated 🙏 I am sure you will love it! Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
Friend of mine just got rid of the 2 John Deere‘s and I think he had a scag as well and bought the maverick HD and said he absolutely loves it!
Good video Justin, thanks. Like to hear from owners with experience rather than only from the salesmen. I have a number of older mowers I want to upgrade, hopefully to a zero-turn, so I'm in the market. A couple items I'd like to mention. At 13:50 you mention the tires spinning, consider filling the rears with liquid, could make a difference. And the roll-bar in the up position, most all of the commercial mowers I know and have seen just leave the roll bar down most often, but that'd be your call (hills???). Regarding engine, you're spot on. I have a Kohler engine that's been running great for 21 years on my main lawn tractor mower. But my Kawasaki on my stand on only lasts about 9 - 10 years. And I service everything myself annually, use seafoam regularly in the fuel and so forth. Something I noted was the dealer displays/sells a Kawasaki engine rebuild manual on the wall behind the cash register, I guess for just in case it's needed! Come to think of it, my Koehler's and Brig's all out perform my Kawasaki, just my experience. But who knows, maybe the newer or commercial Kawasaki's are better! Specifically, the valves are the issue for my Kawasaki, they give up and the engine losses compression - then hard starting with low power. Again, I have an older, smaller Kawasaki. Can't remember the model because I parked it a few years ago, just not in the mood to do another valve job. But also, the engine needs to be properly sized to the machine and how it will be used. The engine drives both the mower and cutter so it needs to be up to the job. I think the older machines had to go through some years of actual use before the mower manufacturer figured it out. Yeah, not the engine's fault, but more likely the mower manufacturer for under sizing the power for the machine, just a thought!
Very well said. I should consider filling the tires. I did that on my Massey Ferguson sub-compact tractor and it definitely makes a difference. Not sure why I never thought of doing that on the mower. Thanks for the tip! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Justin you truly work that Badboy! Got one just like yours, love it!
Awesome! Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
I have a 60" maverick and love it. My Son bought one and I loved it so I got one. I do 5 grave yards in one day and my son's crew comes and does the weed eating after their day job. The only thing I would of changed in your video is to tell people about the trap door at your feet to replace belts which in two years we have not done yet. I used to mow my lawn with a 54"deck Cub lawn tractor which took 4 hrs. I now do it in 2,5 hrs. I do spend about 3 gal of gas but it is worth it and I feel so much better when I am done with the air ride seat. I do have a rough field that is part of my my yd.
Thanks for sharing! All useful info.
Thank you for all the great info! We just bought a 2023 Bad Boy Maverick for about 4 acres. I'm the main mower and I can not tell you how excited I am to try it out. We moved to this 5 acre property 3 years ago and have been using a 1986 Deutz-Allis 5215 tractor to mow. Not only is it a rough ride, it is not easy to maintain blades, belts, etc as the access to these you have to remove the whole deck. On top of that the cable to adjust the deck keeps breaking so I have to manually do it...Ahhh! what a pain! The fuel access is hard for me to manage because it is too high and a 5 gallon container lifted above my shoulders is heavy for me. Maybe I need to workout haha. But I finally talked my husband into getting me something practical and easy to work on. Next move is to get that AIR RIDE SEAT! Thanks again!!
Congrats on the new Maverick. You got a great zero turn. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
Awesome video.
Going to RK this weekend to get me one.
Sweet! Congrats 👏
Good practical video. That thing is a beast .
Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
Excellent point on the seat. As someone who for two years, cut 7 acres of the church grass on a Hustler for 7 hours Each Saturday, I was totally beat up in the lower back, and tailbone at the end of the day. No knock on the Hustler by the way, it was a great mower. It just would've been nicer with some sort of seat suspension. That was 10 years ago, I'm sure they've addressed the issue since then.
Appreciate it! That is kind of my point on the Kawasaki engine vs Kohler. I'm not claiming the Kohler is better than the Kawasaki. However the suspension seat is something many buyers, especially new buyers overlook because of the options "status quo" being recommended. Depending on budget some can afford all the options and others are pushing the limits to get a mower of this size. I try to respect all angles. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
@@JustinsProject Did you mention anything about the shock absorbers on the front "axle" ?
Excellent video with very practical demonstrations and explanations. About the only recommendation I would have is you need to reduce the repetition of the same points. Thanks again and take care.👍👍👍
Thanks for the feedback, I am working on improving my delivery.
Just bought a 2024 Maverick HD. Enjoyed the video. Very informative ✊🏻
Awesome! Thank you! Congrats!

Thank you sir, for the video
Much appreciated 🙏 and thank you for watching and commenting 👍🏻
Love it brother !! Been researching and decided to go with the Bad Boy !!
Honest and real review, I think I will go for the Maverick 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
The Maverick has been a great mower for me. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
Just purchased a maverick hd 54 inch with Honda EFI very well built and a love the suspension seat
That suspension seat is a game charger, right? Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
@jeffmullis-dr4no This is the one I'm looking at. How do you like the Honda EFI? What made you decide on this over the other options?
Excellent video and very informative 👍
Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
Traction on the tires on ANY zero turn has the same effect on wet grass and does not matter what tire you use. I say this because I've had many diffetent tire options and cut many lawns. Choking is the same with all of them no matter what engine you get, that's just the way it is. Good informational video. Thank you.
Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
I never choke my wright 48inch walk behind with a Kawasaki.
@@dakotaemily2980 Nice
I could hear you cussing out that gas can..... I was too! Great video.
You got that right 🤣 Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
I was headed to tractor supply to get a Rambler, I decided to find a dealer so I wouldnt get a scaled back version built for a box store. Left the dealership with a Maverick Picked out, Watched this Video, Called the Dealer, Had them Deliver a Maverick HD. Kohler 26HP with that Special Seat. The "Game Changer!" it only takes 15 Minutes to mow my lawn. I look at it a lot thought. Thats definitely worth something. Purchased the Cover and the Chute block with it. 3 Months Still havent got it
Awesome! Thanks for watching and commenting! 👍
Dude go get you the racing can for gas even tractor supply has them they have a clear hose on them
Cold Beer to you Sr . Thanks for review.
Much appreciated 🙏 Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
Great review Justin! I was looking at getting a Cub Cadet and stumbled upon the Bad Boy zero turn. Will be reaching out to the OK dealer and finalizing the details. Best!
Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
Ok thanks man. I really like the zt3400 hydro drives.
Thanks for watching and commenting! 👍
I 100% agree on that suspension seat
Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
@@JustinsProject good thing kubota zero turns has verilty seat options and 3 engines option kawisaki,kohler, and kubota diesel options and enclose cab optional too and there decks are 10 gauge steel wich solid
Great review
Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
This has probably been mentioned, but without reading all the comments, you can replace that gas spout for a few bucks at Tractor Supply type store. I agree, that looks like a royal pain! Great review! I'm not sure if the camera was set on "portrait" mode, or what, but the focus was always on you, whcih made the mower out of focus quite often. Not a big issue, but a little annoying. Thanks for taking the time! Very helpful.
Thanks for the info!
I bought a new maverick 2016 model with mulching blades and i love it had it since new and never let me down i had plenty of compliments on how nice it cuts mine has the switch operated deck never had any issues would buy another bad boy mower again definately
Awesome! Thanks for the input. How many hours do you have on yours and what engine? Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
Its a kawasaki im not sure hours but i ran it new till now 7 years everyday
I have ZT Elite with that Kohler. I love it. The seat too. The ZT does not have the push to lift feature....
I would love to have a push to lift option on my Maverick.
Great video 👍 I just bought a Maverick HD 60" and love it. I feel your aggravation with the new style "safety" gas cans.....everytime I use my gas can with that dumb safety b.s. I feel like throwing it onto ground and stomping it 🤬😂😂
Awesome! Congrats on the Maverick HD! Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
Go buy a VP type gas can..
Nice Video. I have a 2010 Lightning 54" with the Kawasaki 24 water cooled engine and spring adjustable seat. Had to replace the lean running carb at 5 years and also put no -flats on the front at that time. Other than the carb no other failures. Still going strong.
Much appreciated 🙏 Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
Did the carb get tainted with ethanol?
@@kramnull8962 No it started running lean and I had it cleaned in a ultrasound bath and it still ran lean so I bought a used carb on ebay. It runs better with that used carb than when the mower was new.
He definitely likes the seat.
Having recently bought a Kioti tractor I can tell you the trucker seat is tge bomb.
Just purchased a Bad Boy land plane. May consider their mower.
😂I am considering selling my Massey Ferguson GC tractor to get another tractor with a suspension seat. That thing beats the living hell out of me. I love the tractor but the ride is dreadful.
I've been running a hustler raptor SD 42" for my lawn care business for 2 years...I've put 300 hours on it. It has worked well for a $4300 mower. The maverick HD might be my next machine as it is the heaviest duty machine that's available with a 42" deck. Half my yards have gates. I mow 3-4 yards, 5 days a week...on a rig with no suspension or air ride...doesn't bother me much. The think I want the most is a faster cutting speed and a taller deck that can handle taller/thicker grass as my customers are bi-weekly and many yards grow thick and anywhere from 8"-14" tall between mows...enough to make the hustler have to cut slow or go back to get the tall stuff that bent over and didn't get sucked up into the blades on the first pass. But I will say that the hustler has held up very well to abusive use.
$4300 two years ago bought a lot more than it does in 2022. The Maverick is a tough mower. With the smaller deck because you are saving there, I would get the suspension seat and Kawasaki motor both. Load that bad boy up. There are a lot of good mowers out there, bad boy is the best bang for the buck in my opinion. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
Man I have the Rebel and mow fields like this all the time. I just did a 4 acres the other day with 8 ft tall weeds with tough 1/2 inch stalks and no problems at all. Did not even bog down and did it half throttle lol.
Awesome. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
I'm moving to a new house with a 2 acre yard. I've been looking at several brands of zero turns. I'm leaning towards a Bad Boy. Not sure if I have enough land to justify a Maverick, but after your video I want one... with the suspension seat!Great video. Very informative.
Love the Maverick. However, it might be overkill for 2 acres. BUT I would recommend it, lol. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
Thanks for the video! I'm in the market for a new mower and have considered a Bad Boy. My son is pushing me toward a John Deere like his with the air ride seat. JD is pretty pricey but our dealer will loan you a mower if yours need work and bring it to you and pick yours up. Thats a big deal, dealer is 2 hrs away.
I have had zero issues out of the Maverick.
Thanks for the video nice work! But you definitely need to go to your local tractor supply or Atwood's and get you a 6gal gas jug for under 30 bucks! Make it way easier and faster to fill your tank!
Definitely 🤣🤘 Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
Like he says, get the air ride seat. It will save your back. I put one on an old Snapper Zero Turn and the difference is amazing.
Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
You may have just sold me on this mower. Great video.
It is seriously a great mower. Tough as nails. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
Just got a ZT Elite. I have a small yard for a zero turn but hated the tractor options. I wanted the upgrade in the suspension. I opted for the upgraded seat (game changer) with the Kawi, rear basket and the advanced chute. I got the 48" deck so I can get into the tight places I used to have to push mow. Great review!
Awesome! So, the suspension seat can also be added to the ZT Elite. That is nice to know. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
@@JustinsProject this is great intel about upgrading the seat!
Dam, good video. Just bought a 60" ZT Elite today with Kawasaki motor. Waiting for delivery.
Much appreciated! Et Elite is a good mower. I know a couple of people with the 60" Kawasaki. I think you will be very happy with it. Congrats on the new mower! Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
I mow about 4 acres around my house and barns with a 2-year old BB Maverick with the Kawasaki engine. It makes for fast and easy work even for this old man.
Nothing wrong with Kohler engines though. My old Craftsman rider had a 23 hp Kohler and was still running excellent after over 20 years of mowing west Texas caliche rocks and sparse grass.
I use a '52 Ford 8n with a 5' shredder to mow the pastures.

Got a 2016 maverick, with the Kawasaki, it came with the higher end seat and I also installed a pancake air bag under it which made a big difference. Major difference between yours and mind is the deck lift, mine is hydraulic which my wife loved. Wish mine came with those rear tires, the turf tires suck because there is not enough weigh in the back to make them grip which made it hard to turn, since then I put ATV tires on it but have to be careful not to cut the ground up. I paid $6000 out the door. I cut about 6 acres and have about 400 hrs. So far the biggest problem is the bearings in the spindles and pulleys. We test drove many others in the $5000-$7000 dollar range and because of the rubber suspension was the main reason for the purchase. If I could have afforded it I would have purchased a Ferris with the coil over shocks. The maverick has been a great mower
Awesome stuff! Yeah I looked at the Ferris lineup also. Really nice mowers. Just out of my price range. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
I do love how much room I have to work on the engine, etc on my rebel
I didn’t have much room with my exmark
Would like to have the rebel or rogue at some point. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
Pick up an Eagle UI-50-FS Red Galvanized Steel gas can w/ funnel. It is so much better than that gas can. Thank you for the video.
Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
I bought a regular tractor funnel for my bad Boy and use the non safety 5 gallon cans to fill it with non ethanol gas. That funnel takes gas as fast as you can pour.
I might give that a try. I bought a battery-operated pump that I use for my diesel fuel - works fantastic! I am thinking about getting one for gas. Thanks for watching and commenting! 👍
I just bought the Bad Boy Rebel with a 61” deck and a 27 hp Kawasaki. I took it out on the back 15 acres and mowed trails. All I can say is Wow! This thing is a beast.
Congrats! I would love to test run the Rebel, Rogue and Renegade. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻

Awesome and congrats! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do this one. I will definitely keep everyone posted on the reliability and even general upkeep in coming videos. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍
Tractor supply sells a nozzle conversion kit to get rid of that safety. I spill way less gas without the safety.
I will have to look into that for sure. Hate those safety on gas jugs. I agree, I cause more of a mess with the safety than I do if it's free flow. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻

Also own a bad boy good mowers they're like little tanks, that's what I use mine for 😂
@@mikegore9029 They are very good mowers and make for decent tanks 😂 If I could attach a bucket and backhoe to it I could sell my tractor 😂
I have to say I went with the Kawasaki 1000 35 hp cuz I’ve owned both kawi and kohler at same time and I’ve never had the kawi in the shop where the kohler has been in the shop multiple times. Maybe I have bad luck but for me kawi is the way to go for me
Is there a 35hp Kawasaki option on the Maverick? Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
There is a way to dismantle the innards of those fill hoses and put a vent on the handle. to a search for these items.
My apologies, I don't understand the question?
Just got a Maverick HD this morning. Great ride, good cut, but it HATES gumballs & threw the deck belt. But my JD did too
Oh no, the gumballs! I have a ton of those in the bottom. Luckily, I haven't had any issues with them using the Maverick. 🤞🏻
Very well done video. I think u just helped me decide if I wanted to spend the extra $$ on the Maverick or not. What was the "out the door" price on yours? (If you don't mind me asking)
Appreciate it! I purchased it at an auction. I am always looking for deals and ways to save. I almost bought a Gravely at the same dealership I bought my Massey Ferguson tractor at. Then this Maverick showed up just before I got a chance to go get the Gravely. I'm very pleased with it. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
You can get more traction by reducing the air pressure in the tires!
Tried lowering pressure in the tires before, but even on flat ground it slips.
I want a 34" cutting deck. That's number one for me. second is a twin cylinder engine, no matter who make it or the HP. Serviceable transmission, I want to change oil and filters on both sides. Lift up plate to check the belts. Far as the air ride, you do you, I like the bumps. I want to know whats going on with the land under me, if the mower has to endure it then I should have to as well.
Enjoy the ride 😁 Thanks for watching and commenting

Good info. I think those 6ft weeds might be poison hemlock. Not good if you're allergic.

It looks like you have a flat property..id take the Rops off. My property is all hills..different story. Great review! I need a zero turn to clean up behind my 8ft flail mower on my Ford tractor.
I have a couple of areas where I use the rops. Most part it's flat, though. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
We have an older bad-boy. It's been a decent machine mostly. I've gone through deck spindles and a couple of the idler pulleys. The hydraulics have always been perfect. The chassis is built very well. It mows better than the JD 1025R with belly mower.
Some of the parts give off the stench of Cheap China parts (the deck spindles and pulleys).
Thanks for sharing!
Yes thy have a hitch for it , I just got me one
I ended up getting one last summer. Got it off Amazon for around $15. Good investment. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
Hi Justin, Thanks for a very informative video.
If I could ask..... can you raise the deck(for mowing long grass or such) and run the mower(cut) with the deck in the raised position?
The reason I ask is that I run my Toro(Diesel) with the deck Up so that I can take the top of my back paddock which helps just prior to "fire season" and also I believe it helps to reduce the chance of my few steers getting Pink Eye.
Again very interesting video and loved the demo cutting thank you.
Peter (Australia)
Yes, I run the mowing deck sometimes at the highest lift by the foot lift paddle. It helps get me over objects like concrete pads and large gravel. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
Nice feedback I'll take those setbacks to what it really could be for something not as good but if u got a efi with a little over a 6 gallon tank fuel last a good amount of time I got my hd Thursday I enjoy it there are some issues but could just be from being brand new not fully broken in

@@mrme9517 I am still in love with mine. I have over 200 HRS on the meter. You should share your story because we all need to hear the good, bad, and ugly about products. The only issue I have with my Maverick is the traction. The reaper tires are not so great. I slip on flat ground making a 3-point turn. I think the only way to eliminate that would be to buy a Altoz though.

Considering the Maverick or the Revolt ! Due to my rough and hilly terrain, leaning towards the Revolt. But keep thinking about the Maverick !
I will say I am not 💯 confident about the traction of the Maverick. On a slope, it might get dicey. Good luck 👍🏻 Thanks for watching and commenting
Great and really well made video!
This machine is probably 2 step above my Toro ZS5000 (Kawasaki engine) Which is a "in the middle" residential mower I would think. This is the 10th season and it has served me well.

I got a 2022, Kawasaki with Rogue seat upgrade. LED lights, ACS, hitch and cooler holder shelf on back. Love it. $8k was the price.
Awesome! Congrats on that. Sounds like you got a really nice setup there. Thanks for watching and commenting. 🤘
The review is amazing. Seems like great longevity but at 2 acres I'm unsure. Are the others beasts as well?
2 acres, I would look into ZT Elite. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
Do you know how the gas usage compares to other engines? I’d like to upgrade from my Cub Cadet XT1 riding mower but I only have 1.5 acres so a zero turn isn’t a necessity for me and keeps feeling like it’s just a pipe dream.. but I still want one!! Lol I’m not sure which model I’d get but I 100% agree the seat upgrade is #1!! Take care of yourself first!
I can mow my 6.5 acres 2 times between fill-ups. That is depending on a couple factors. If the grass is dry and not over 8 or 10 inches tall in the field. Thanks for watching and commenting! 👍
Tell us about that air ride seat if you could.
Technically, it's called a suspension seat. I like to call it an air ride since it felt so much nicer than the old spring or ridgid frame seats. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
First thing I would do is change that gas nozzle
I finally got me a battery pump. Best $12 I spent so far 😆
That dude was about to launch that gas can across the yard 😂😂.
You got that right 🤣 Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
@@JustinsProject . Well done video.👍 There is a YT video out there explaining how to repair and modify those Mid west nozzles ..
I replaced around three before giving up , after learning some new cusswords 🤣They only broke again later.
Hard enough finding time to mow, no patience or time to fix fuel cans with broken plastic parts 😅🤣
Been using Fill Rite cans with 3/4" flex metal nozzle, keeping eyes open for something better.
Absolutey spot on with Air ride seat, gamechanger I mow 7 acres with a 52" takes about 5 hrs total ,break it up into 2-3 hr cuts before I need a rest with air ride .. Faster you go, the more beat up ypu get. Most of us don't live on a golf course.🤣
Wish you luck on traction issue. Its a heavy deck/mower ,Maybe chains. taller wheels .and BB Tech line customer pressure .
Nephew has same model, learned early to only back it up hill. Too heavy to control otherwise.
Take The Kohler over the Briggs? Looking at Maverick HD vs ZT Elite 42”-48”.1.5 ACRES in Northern Minnesota-slopes, tress And wet in spring. Thinking the suspension might help on the slopes?
Get the Maverick, Kohler is a bad ass engine. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
I have 2021 zt elite 747 k .. does your mower have hydro reservoirs and have you serviced them yet? Thanks nice video!
Appreciate it! The mower does have hydro reservoirs. I plan on servicing them soon though. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
I'm going with the ZT Elite with the Kawasaki engine. Well, Might go with the Kohler Pro and get the air ride seat. Good suggestion.
Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
@@JustinsProject what blades do you recommend for best clean cut and lasts a long time, comparatively speaking.
@@comixof2morrow I would recommend High Lift blades. I have some of those copperhead mulching blades but after a year of use, I like the high-lift blades better. Cleaner cut and easy to sharpen.
@@JustinsProject I really appreciate you bro
“ I have heard that if you get a diesel mower, that it doesn’t use as much gas”
Hahaha 🤣 you couldn’t be more right! Unless you put gas in your diesel mower, which I probably wouldn’t recommend to friends or family lol
🤣 True ... Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
Great video! How long does it take you to cut 6.5 acres? My mom is thinking about getting a zero turn and she cuts around the same amount of acreage.
It really depends on how tall I let it grow before getting out there and mowing. If I mowed once a week I could probably the entire property in 1.5 - 2 hours. Not including the trimming and areas I can't get to with a 60" deck. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Hate those gas can spouts. I get the old school high flow ones from tractor supply
Thanks for watching and commenting! 👍
Looks like the newer version of the ctz.
