Just bought one to replace a Deere LA14... got tired of working on that one and cut quality was uneven. 1 or Maybe 2 weeks after Hurricane Beryl I have not cut 1/3 of my yard and that will be a beast. Glad to know I have a new Bad Boy to cut through some very high and thick St Augustine that has had perfect growth conditions with water and sunshine. Mixed in there are many twigs that remain after picking up the many branches that fell in some pretty high winds. Simply cannot wait!

Good afternoon, orbnitsky 👍🙂👍 That's great! I'm sure you will really enjoy it. It does make mowing more enjoyable. I had a Deere STX46 before I bought the Rambler. Good to know you made it through the hurricane with only some broken twigs & branches. It's 100° outside as I type this but I need to get out there and mow our lawn later this evening. It's not very tall and I should be able to get it done before it gets too dark. Put on a new set of blades put on last week. This is the first new set since I've bought it. I'm kinda anxious to see how well it cuts. We've been battling Khaki weed with some non selective weed killer. Our yard looks very rough but it needed to be done. I hope you'll chime in again and let us know how well your Bad Boy performed and what you think of it. Take care!

Just bought one myself today. You've inspired me. Cuts like a dream. Thanks for the informative videos

[@tomtexas6554]

Hello, MrNeatz! 👍🙂👍 Thank you for the compliments. That means a lot to me. Congratulations on your purchase. I'm confident you're really going to enjoy your new Bad Boy. I look forward to getting out there on the Rambler and give it a workout. My area is known for its blistering summer heat. I still want to get out there but enjoyment has lost its edge a bit...BUT, once I get going the enjoyment usually returns. MrNeatz, thank you for commenting. I hope you'll check back in from time to time to let me know how your new Bad Boy is treating you. 😊

Hello Tom. I always enjoy your videos. I can tell that you really enjoy cutting grass with it as do I. My wife was supposed to use mine. That hasn’t happened yet. She sit on one at the dealership and liked it. They even set the petal up for her on the one I purchased. 0:12 She’s only 5 foot tall. I will probably readjust it for me this year. Bye for now looking forward to seeing your next video.

Hello, Randy! It's great hearing from you. 👍🙂👍 My wife is short too. She has to get to the edge of the seat and stretch to reach the deck peddle. She's has less than 30 minutes of seat time on our Rambler. You're absolutely right, I really enjoy mowing. I hope this season is wetter than last year. Mowing is so relaxing to me. We had some rain last night. I'm hoping the lawn grass...I mean weeds will grow. 😃 Take care, Randy.

Probably goona buy one at TSC!!!!! Ty for the video!!!!

[@tomtexas6554]

Hello, John! 👍🙂👍 You're very welcome. And I would like to thank you for watching and commenting. I take it you're settled on a Bad Boy. Are you looking at a Rambler or do you have your eyes on a bigger mower? Whatever make or model you decide on, maybe you can find some spare time to let us know how it performs and what you think of it. Take care, John.

At the end of this video I said my wife was going to run this mower. I'd like her to show a woman can handle a mower like this with ease. She's driven it before. Twice, I believe, but never for very long. Any female who may be a little skittish at running a Rambler or a similar mower will be able to see there's nothing to it.

My dad works for Bad boy

[@tomtexas6554]

Hello, Lindsey! 👍🙂👍 That's very cool. I bet that's a great place to work. I looked at several brands but when I finally made the purchase it was Bad Boy all the way. I really wanted one with a little bigger cut, like a 52" but the 42" was as big as I could get that would fit through the doors of our storage building. Tell your dad hello for me and he has a big fan over here in Texas. And please tell him thank you for building me such a fine machine. 👍 Thank you for commenting.

Must be down south

[@tomtexas6554]

Hello, Bob! 👍🙂 👍 Yes. I'm about 15 miles from the Oklahoma border.

Minnesota doesn't mow till May 1st

[@tomtexas6554]

@@BobMckinsey Good morning, Bob. 👍👍 For my location...I'd say under normal weather conditions the first mowing generally is in early to mid March. If you want to get out and get some exercise and the blood circulating, the season can begin earlier. I started this mowing season in late February. I probably could have waited two, maybe three weeks longer. Thank you for commenting and take care. 🙂
