Bad Boy Maverick vs Maverick HD Comparison

[@freedomwins5592]

I just bought a Maverick. Thank you for the comparison, interesting that you said there was a difference in the spindles. When I was researching Bad Boy mowers for my home use. I came across another youtuber who asked a service technician if he had seen any problems with the Maverick. He said the only problem over time was he had to replace the spindles. He said the spindles can weaken over time if you hose them off with cold water when they are hot. So, I will be cleaning mine with a blower or wait till the mower has cooled down before hosing it off.

Never wash it, just blow it off or wipe down....all bearings are sealed

That HD seat looked so comfy.

Bought a Maverick today. Need a 54" to get into the shed. The dealer told me they had a 60" i can check out but their other office upstate has the 54", so invited me to come check out the 60". When i got there, he was telling me about the dual tanks, efi (didnt term it thst way, but i asked about yhr choke and he just said this model didn't have it). I also mentioned seat and the one I'd be getting won't have that seat and said it would. I like the guy, very nice, and this is a large multi location Bad Boy of America dealer, but it seemed i already knew more about the Maverick than he does, so that concerned me. Still, very excited to get the mower, my first zero turn...

Can I get a Maverick with an air seat upgrade?

You said the HD has dual fuel tank. I HAVE an HD and it only has a single fuel tank. I have a major gripe with my HD, a 2023 model with 54 " deck. New blades and it leaves a strip of uncut grass between the right blade and center and left blade and center blade. There is no adjustment. New blades of correct size right from the factory. Its a good machine but the uncut strips of grass is totally not acceptable. Bad Boy fails to address any phone or emails regarding this issue. SO, guess what, I am back to using my John Deere GX335 Garden tractor with 54" Deck or my JohnmDeere 1025R compact tractor with 54" deck. I cut 6 acres, and do not feel like having to cut it twice just to cut those two strips it leaves. I say its all because of blade placement on deck does not allow for any overlap to eliminate those uncut areas. So in over a year of owning this high $$$$ machine, It only has 12 hours on it. I should have kept my John Deere ZTR as it did not leave these uncut strips. I thought about adding some weld to the ends of the blades to lengthen them, but I should not have to jurymrig such on a brand new machine. I am totally disapointed with my Bad Boy, so itnsits unused. Unless I get some answers from Bad Boy, its going to be put out in front of my place with a for sale signband have JUNK on the forsale sign, and lack of Factory help. There really is no factory or dealer support. All Bad Boys are sold at Tractor Supply and other such stores, which do not have any tech support. I just seem to see that the end of April, this Bad Boy is going to get sold or traded on another John Deere or a Toro. Thanks for any help.

Maverick - high-end residential Maverick HD - highest-end residential with low-end commercial hydros Going commercial? At least go Rebel, but really, go Rogue...

[@shawnp8429]

bad boy uses residential belts for all of their mowers. I wish I would have checked this before buying. I have a Kubota that uses a huge drive and deck belt. also the kawasaki motor sucks

[@TheCamaro5]

I have had 3 kawasaki's and never had a problem

[@workingcountry1776]
