    I bought this mower this summer. I have 1.75 acres. So far this has been great. It has cut my mowing time in half.

    I have the MZ Rambler 42" cut mower. Personally, I like the choke on the left side so I don't have to twist my body to the right to grab the choke with my left hand and turn the key with my right hand.

    Thanks for sharing your opinion of the BAD BOY brand mower. I've looked at them & they do look to be well built, almost like a "TANK". Take care.

    Thank you for this review! My parents recently bought this same mower and I’m trying to learn everything about it before I start mowing with it. I’m still waiting on the ground to dry out, but I think this one will be a lot easier to mower our several acres then our previous riding lawn mower.

    Turn the handles around and swap sides. I have the same mower and that's the first thing I did when I got it home. Now the handles are just right

  • @tejaswelding5230
    @tejaswelding5230 2 года назад +6

    Hey I felt the way with the handle, but then I figured you can swap them around and it brings it closer. Like switch left one to the right. Hope this helps.

    Have same mower my problem is the bolts on Handel are scraping the plastic gas tank and the other side I flipped the bolts around and the back of bolt hits when pulling back and when all the way together look at yours see if it is scraping I say it is a way for the store to get you to buy a new tank trying to figure it out if there is a way to bring agustment to get those bolts to not scrape.

    I'm looking at the magnum. I sat on one. I'm a big boy and the handles hit me in the belly. The seat looks to be all the way back how much can handles be adjusted forward.

  • @robertduncan2742

    Excellent video. Very informative. I am trying to decide on my first zero turn mower and have been doing some homework. Your video really helped me feel good about making the purchase of this model! I have about an acre but it still looks like it should be a good size for that. Do you find that you need mulching ever?

    • @AmericanTradesmen
      @AmericanTradesmen  2 года назад +2

      With centipede grass I don’t find I ever need mulching. I will be uploading another video soon on this mower, at 60 hours I had an issue with one of the transaxle pulleys. Not bad, but worth noting. I think you’ll be happy with your purchase. Thanks for the comment 👍

    @71160000 Год назад

    I bought one two days ago. Mowed for one hour and shut it off to stretch my legs. Got back on it and turned the key and nothing. Dead to the world with one hour on it. Put it into the shop yesterday and they said it's likely one of the safety switches isn't working. Have you tried moving the seat forward so the handles and raise pedal are more in reach?

    I got my mower from Russ's Lawn Mower Repair in Martinsburg West Virginia, and they are the best family owned business to deal with. They can match prices or even do a better discount on machines! Rather deal with them than any big dollar stores that deal in all things Bad Boy machines! 10/10 recommended
