i purchased the 54" maverick in July 2021 but with Kawasaki engine and it seem to not go as fast as it was advertised or as i saw you drove yours. im a bit disappointed and jealous. wish i could exchange it out for a Kohler engine but i do love the cut quality on this machine.
At 62 years old it must still be the kid in me that loved watching this using his new machine and seeing the pure joy in his face. The fact that I am picking this exact machine up next week probably has something to do with the great viewing experience. God Bless
Just bought the exact same machine today! I don’t have the air ride seat but you got me thinking about upgrading to one! Thanks for the great video! - Blessings
The seat has a large dial so it is a scissor link ball bearing suspension seat, air ride seats have a plus minus switch and an air compressor in the seat to fill the pneumatic spring, cost over 1200$ in most cases…
I'm considering getting one so a few questions please. I'm looking at the same in a 2023 with a kohler confident motor not efi. Sny helps appreciated for a old guy
That is an awesome machine. We are Bad Boy Mower Brothers now! hahahah I love my 2021 Bad Boy Rebel 61" you probably saw some of my videos. I have the Kawasaki FX1000V motor on mine. I rode KX80, 125, and 250 growing up so comfortable with Kawasaki motors. I bet that independent front suspension helps a lot too. That seat is heaven, isn't it?
Man I’m really considering buying this exact mower. Handles great and runs smoothly. Only hold up is the price. Think my local dealer may be a little too high. 7800 with the kohler. Same as yours.
Nice review ! I’ve been debating the Maverick HD and the Hustler FT. I like the suspension and air ride of the Maverick! I have some hills as well. How do you think it would do?
@@BackFortyTV welp.....first time.....got stuck in our lil muddy ditch.. 😂....but I've since did practice runs in yard....been raining alot here so no actual mowing but that one time....all n all I love it
Im going to test ride one of these tomorrow. Its between this and a Hustler Fastrak. I have 3.5 acres of pasture land to mow in Texas. How does this compare to your Hustler Raptor?
Absolutely no comparison to the raptor. The hustler was good, the maverick, absolutely beast. I’m a big fan of hustler, but I won’t trade this maverick for anything. Especially for the money.
Can't go wrong with the hustler fastrak I've got an older 2012 fastrak with a fs691v kawasaki hydrogear 3100s and that thing cuts really good. On par with our exmark radius and does better than the radius in wet grass. Raptors are nowhere near the fastrak in terms of comfort, build, and cut quality. Bad boy looks good too so as long as you have a good dealer nearby can't really go wrong with both. Our fastrak has 480hrs never let us down.
@@travisricks3436 I do too. Seen too many wrecks that belts could’ve helped. On these roads at my house (private roads) I don’t wear them cause we’re usually going like 30
Also, I was mistaken on the fuel. 6.5 gallon tank! But it does well. I’ve mowed my entire yard four times and only used 1/4 of a tank.

@@carlosmoffett5676 the cut quality is definitely awesome. Love these machines for sure.
At today’s prices 32.50 to fill up a mower!
@@sweetwilliam49 yes! I filled mine up the other day! Was ridiculous!
@@BackFortyTV I just ordered a maverick had with a 27 Ho Honda fuel injected. May be a month before I get it. Must be in demand

Thank you! Hope you love it! Enjoy! 🙏🏼

It’s truly amazing ride. God bless!
I have a tractor for 31 years with a Kohler engine and the only thing I have ever had to replace was one spark plug. It doesn't get better than that.
Have a 2012 42 inch Bad Boy with Kawasaki 21 hp.There’s a reason there called bad boy best mower I ever had with no problems.
The seat has a large dial so it is a scissor link ball bearing suspension seat, air ride seats have a plus minus switch and an air compressor in the seat to fill the pneumatic spring, cost over 1200$ in most cases…
Just got the 2022 60 inch Kawasaki! Upgrade Rebel seat instead of air ride. Hell yeah!
Lol you are like a kid in a candy store!🤣🤣 great video dude! 👍👍❤🙌🙌
I sure was! And still am! Haha. Thanks man!
It seems easy to steer with one hand
Awesome footage! 👌
Thanks!
Not even gonna lie. I watched you videos before I bought this thing! Thanks for the assist. Cool af to see you checking out mine.
The wife said it's me or the mower.
Now I'm making my own sandwiches. 🥪
💪👍🇺🇸
Lol hell yea! 🤙🏼

Love mine
Ya you right. She bad.
I'm ordering one soon :)
You won’t be sorry!

She rides like a dream! And that FX1000 is a beast! I definitely checked them out. Can’t wait to see what you have coming soon with them.
How do you adjust the length of the arm controls
Nice vid.
Thank you. 🙏!
well said, you dont see a lot of videos of how she cuts, thanks

It’s a great machine. With Kohler, air ride and all I think mine was 71-7200 out the door.
If you do get it you won’t be disappointed.
@@BackFortyTV yeh I was thinking that was more reasonable. But they want 8500 out the door with everything you listed.
@@BackFortyTV man it sure is a sweet mower though. Built super tough.
@@joshuawalters4691 yea that’s kinda high. Idk what state you’re in, but that’s a bit much. And yea man this thing is solid. Rides like a cadillac.
I’m looking to buy one with the fuel injected Honda motor. I have not seen any videos that motor.
Also does yours have seperate reared hydrolic holders
Nice review ! I’ve been debating the Maverick HD and the Hustler FT. I like the suspension and air ride of the Maverick!
I have some hills as well. How do you think it would do?
I think it would do great. Man I love this thing now like I just bought it! Thanks for checking it out!
I'm looking at the Maverick HD... coming from a Raptor SD that has become junk after only 154 hours.
I had a regular raptor! Had like 600+ hours on it. Man you’ll love the maverick!
Just bought me the Badboy Maverick 54"....delivery on Friday....
You’re going to love it! Hope to hear your feedback here when you get it tried out!
@@BackFortyTV welp.....first time.....got stuck in our lil muddy ditch.. 😂....but I've since did practice runs in yard....been raining alot here so no actual mowing but that one time....all n all I love it
@@redblue40rc33 lol dang! It’s been wet here too for sure. Glad you like it!

Absolutely no comparison to the raptor. The hustler was good, the maverick, absolutely beast. I’m a big fan of hustler, but I won’t trade this maverick for anything. Especially for the money.
I went from average 2 hours mowing my lawn to 45 minutes or so. Not exaggerating one bit.

Probably going to get the Maverick HD 60" with Kawasaki 726cc on the lot at $8300
You’ll love it!
They aren't comparable. Get a hustler fastrak then compare.
What type
engine. whats the price.
How do you like the Bad Boy? I just bought a 2022 Hustler Fastrak SDX 60.
I’m trying to decide between the two now !
@@will4390 Hustler!
@@travisricks3436 really !? I’ve almost decided on the Maverick ! Haha
Reason is I have a rough field that I cut. About 5 acres total to cut!
@@will4390 I’d definitely choose Hustler over Bad Boy, and I did.
@@travisricks3436
What is the difference in the SDX or regular FT? Looks like more engine options in regular.
Officers reactions: Hey, wear that seat belt!
Lol it be like that.
You NEVER wear a seat belt if the ROPS is folded down.
@@travisricks3436 believe he was referring to being inside the truck.
@@BackFortyTV oh ok. I always wear my seat belt in a vehicle.
@@travisricks3436 I do too. Seen too many wrecks that belts could’ve helped. On these roads at my house (private roads) I don’t wear them cause we’re usually going like 30
