Bad Boy ZT Elite 1 year Review and Suspension Seat Upgrade

We've been running this Bad Boy Zero turn mower for about a year. I like a LOT of stuff about it, but I don't like the seat. I'll talk about the things I've liked about the mower, install a new Trac Seats suspension seat kit and try it out!

I'm picking my new Elite 48 up today. This Trac seat didn't require any modification, correct?

[@HomesteadBandwagon]

@mikekrause910 correct. Just a few bolts. I've really liked it so far!

I used to use a 61-inch mower years ago, but hav a hilly yard and it always scalped. Switched to a 48-inch deck and it solved the problem.

[@HomesteadBandwagon]

For sure. A smaller deck will always give the cleanest cut

I just bought the same thing with a 60" deck. I was wanting a 48", but they didn't have one on hand and I needed to get something happening. My first impression was I made the right choice!! The combination of the drives, the engine, and the price was unbeatable... plus the 7 gauge deck is beefier than just about anything out there short of a true commercial unit at twice the price. I mow pretty tall due to the gentle rolls of my property and it really doesn't seem make any low spots where the edge of the deck dips like a normal rider would even with the 60". I did notice the seat could be better, but after an hour and a half it was still luxury compared to what I was using before.

Great video! all the info needed and presented well!

Does the seat move forward and back now with the new track? I bought (what i thought was a 2021) mavrick with 80 hours turns out is wad a 2019. Well my stock sest dont move forward or back and has no suspension so i was looking at this same suspension set up. I just couldn't tell if the new suspension setup comes with adjustable track to move your seat forward and backwards

[@HomesteadBandwagon]

Good question! The suspension gets sandwiched between the existing track and the seat. So if you don't have sliders, the Tracseat that I bought wouldn't add them. They do, i belive, make a complete replacement seat with a slider

I know you don’t like the seat but he’s a Bad Boy. You can’t fix him

[@HomesteadBandwagon]

Some boys are just bad, and there's nothin you can do about it
