Our Research Led Us To These 2 Zero Turn Mowers! Yakta & ??

Our second brand new commercial zero turn lawnmower is here but what is it? We already shared the Yakta and we needed something to compare it to, it could be a: Bad Boy, ExMark, Ferris, Grasshopper, Gravely, Hustler, Scag, Spartan, Kubota, or any other brand! We put a lot of work into getting the Wright mower for us. We also discovered Outdoor Equipment Co. a dealership that prides itself on taking care of their customers!

I bought my first zero turn a month ago, it is the Bad Boy Rogue ! I love it 👍🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@inthebackyardwithdel438]

Hey Heath and Rachel , I told Heath you got the Bad Boy . The way Rachel raved about the suspension on it . Congratulations on two fine pieces of equipment . I love the bad boy !!!!👍🏻🇺🇸🪵

[@rachelpostma4505]

It rides so nice Del!

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Thanks Del, it is sweet!

[@JoesFirewoodVideos]

Can’t wait to see the lawn mowing videos November through March 😁

[@stevesedgwick5789]

Well done folks, you have gone from a broken mower, to two fantastic new mowers, along with mower fame. 😀

[@chrissumner552]

I live in Georgia and had my mind set on a Revolt last season. Every dealer I contacted couldn't come up with one. I called Bad Boy Superstore in Searcy, Arkansas. Super nice, quick to respond to email, and so helpful. BRAD said he had my mower but had never shipped one. He worked with me until I got it delivered to me. Check them out.

[@OpenAirAdventure]

Mowing grass has never been so much fun.

[@Concerned_Citizen111]

I recently purchased a new Rogue 61” (Kawi 1000) and so far I love it. Thing is a beast!

[@peteschiavoni]

Congrats Heath and Rachel on the Rogue! Two great mowers. I look forward to future comparisons, even between the Yakta and Bad Boy. Even if they are totally comparable, it tells me a lot! Thanks for sharing and enjoy! Also I like that mowing trick of raising the blade with wet deep grass.

[@julianwaters9746]

Great going! Coincidentally - I had tested lots of mowers a little ahead of you guys and had narrowed it down to exactly the same two!! Reasons included same as you found - heavy build quality, YAKTA Innovations and warranty, Rogue overall cut, suspension etc etc. However, I ended up with a dozen year old used front mount Grasshopper diesel 722D with only 420 hours on it in great shape for $8,000. Comparable new one would be around $20k. I love the hydraulic powerfold deck and just couldn’t pass it up. Still I kinda wish I had ALSO bought the Yakta or Bad Boy and I miss all the testing!

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

You stole that Grasshopper! I would have grabbed that too. I’d have loved a diesel but I think we did pretty well with the two we got!

[@julianwaters9746]

You did awesome! Yes, they originally wanted $10k so $8k was a deal. Even the cheapest front mount GH is SO expensive. It was a one owner unit, sold by the same dealer where it was bought new, and serviced there regularly. This Kubota diesel motor will keep going forever. The hydraulic powerfold deck makes it a breeze to clean under the deck, change blades etc. Also it has the handy deck lift button right on the ZT bar to raise the deck over curbs. I really enjoy your videos! Super informative and relatable. You were among the first to show the Yakta actually cutting. I had jumped on the GH already before you revealed your 2 choices. I also could have gone with the Yakta 710 or the BB Rogue. Looking forward to your future videos. Thanks.

[@Videogamerforlife69]

now we gotta teach you guys how to do patterns and how to Y turn.

[@toddsoutsideagain]

Awesome! Y’all sure have been putting in some seat time! I have a Bad Boy zero turn and love it! It’s just the entry level Magnum but it’s still built like a tank minus the suspension! Thanks for the shout Rachel! I only wear my hard-working man T-shirt when the temperatures are cooler😂👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸

[@bigbluegpr]

BIG congrats to both of you on the new mowers! I am officially and unashamedly jealous! I would love to have that Bad Boy, but if I spent 12 large on a mower, I wouldn't have enough cash left for the divorce attorney that I would ultimately need!! 🤑

[@jamesvanbeckum3001]

Please compare the decibel levels of each mower.

[@davidmuise388]

Wow I am so proud of you two finally machines you deserve their awesome and I’m glad Rachel got one just for her it fits her perfect well done and their both super fine looking machines I would certainly take either one thank you for sharing love you both ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Next podcast please ????? lol take care god bless

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Thanks David! It definitely makes mowing even more enjoyable!

[@user-qr4xg3dy3i]

This was awesome Heath and Rachel. I love the video. Both mowers are great but I think I go with Bad Boy Rogue. I love the colour red it looks fantastic. It's not about that what matters it's about are you going to get treated well with the product you got is the main thing. Cannot wait to see more video's of the mowers. Take care.

[@MillersStumpsandFirewood712]

Great review Heath and Rachel, I like them both.

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Thanks Tedd.

[@peterhotaling7148]

I bought the sthil 52 in zt. The suspension is excellent and does a excellent job of cutting the grass

[@ClickinChicken]

Reminds me of one of my Movies. Clint Eastwood Quote 'True Crime' 1999 American film... "Speed Zoo.." He says. The daughter says, "I want to see the Hippopotamus". Rachael was "Speed lawn mowing". I researched short wave AM/FM/Side band radios. It's good to try to do that! Take care Michigan! It's debate night! Wooo!

[@toddpacheco4748]

You deserve a little bit of fun with mowing the lawn 😮😊❤

[@dirtriderkx500]

Hi Heath and Heather. We bought a bad boy mower. It has the 72 inch deck. My wife loves it. Cut our mowing time in half. And it's a rogue. She has to wear earplugs or ear muffs because it's so loud. It sounds like a helicopter because it's so loud. Please invest in some it will save your hearing. 👍

[@seaday123]

Recently went with the Rogue. Works great.

[@bradvongrote7504]

So... I have a JD 1025 because it is 4-wheel drive and Brakes. Our paved road is 6° and the grass yard is even steeper. How do the zero turns do on steeper terrain, sideways, and straight up and down slopes? FYI - I need a 4x4 for the snow blower on our road.

[@briannelson4493]

I figured Rachel got a Bad Boy 60in she was definitely liking it.

[@jeffwhite2107]

The rogue was my second choice but I’ll see how this Gravly works out. Had it for three years who knows it might last as long as I do have fun

[@somedayzo6]

Whatever makes Rachel bounce is the machine I want her on!

[@neachtarrsainn3216]

Great video, I can’t really say anything bad about either one of these mowers, but you have definitely jumped into commercial class now. I know I’m beating a dead horse here with the Toros, but you definitely need to take a look at the Z Master series with my ride.👍🏻

[@jimyoungquist1687]

I have a badboy 2007 commercial model (PUP) that is still weekly being used to mow almost 10 acres, and it performs flawlessly. I can't believe that any of the current offerings that I have seen could possibly last that long with minimal maintenance.

[@wayneeden98]

Bad boy rogue, 72 inch cut,largest possible motor, and the air less tires

[@rcguygarage]

You'll get the jealousy out there but guess what‼️ You both have EARNED whatever you receive in a positive nature. Don't EVER listen to the the grumblings of those that haven't earned that listening ear. Great work by the both of you. 👍💯👊

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Thank you! There will always be negative people but we don’t let them bother us much. Appreciate it.

[@TheBpotter69]

I'd definitely take the BAD BOY.

[@MicahHughes-zv5zx]

Now that’s disappointing “ we’re not even going to do a good mow-job”😁

[@billypirtle1443]

Thy are really good mowers right up there with Bush Hoge built good I have a 60 inch bush Hoge and a 54 in bad boy and the bad boy and bush Hoge are 19 years old still get any part I need for both mowers.

[@bradh74]

Like you two and hope that you keep doing well. I don't get why you need 2 unless you have to give them back or got them both free. I don't need a mower like that but like watching. What does that Bad Boy cost?

[@Me-iq9dz]

Bad Boys are sweet machines. a bit costly at 13 grand here in Ohio but a great reputation. Have fun !!!

[@T_81535]

Thousands of dollars less than the competition

[@Me-iq9dz]

@@T_81535 Depends, and my neighbor has a Rouge that he was over 17 grand by adding the Roof and options, 72 inch deck better engine.. When this adventure 1st started over the Husqvarna, I recall hearing " I dont need a 20 grand lawnmower "

[@Me-iq9dz]

@@T_81535 My friend has 1, with 72 inch deck, canopy for the sun, etc 17 grand plus tax. This entire thread started with Heath upset over his MZT52. He stated I don't need a 20 grand lawn mower. So much for that. LOL but when they are free, I guess it's no issue.

Hi HWW, you know who this is girl kept the bad boy. Dat the best buy.

Thanks, my brother has a Spartan and really likes it too.

I thought u would get the Bad Boy first. I like the orange better than black, I might get the ZT Elite. Have fun!

Just out of curiosity, what did you guys think of Ferris. Was it more comfortable than the Rogue, or less?

[@brucesimpson8579]

You probably can't go wrong with either mower.

[@wadebrown8527]

What type of warranty did you get with the Bad Bay?

[@markblack9987]

Bad Boy for sure

[@dennishall9260]

You need to take the Bad Boy back.... it didn't even move the needle on the bounce meter...

[@Lulanda93]

The only criticism I would have toward the Yakta is the auto parking brakes are not as reliable as a manual one in a commercial setting, also the electronic display and electronic throttle are also not going to hold up as well as mechanical. I get they want to make nice features but this would be more of a headache when it breaks for commercial lawn guys. Seems like they are more entertaining the home owner or guys who are looking for comfort and features vs true commercial durability. Still not a bad mower though a lot of companies are starting to add those features too, because again it’s not about how long it last to the company who sales it, it’s more about the number of units sold, more fancy features, catches people’s attention=more units sold. Also Yakta only sales mowers with the all in 1 transmission, true commercial mowers have a separate pump and wheel motor. These all in 1 systems lifespan is nowhere close to a true commercial drive system.

How much are you to getting paid to do this commercial or you get a free lawnmower or watt or a big discount😅

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Nope, not getting paid at all! Just love sharing what we learn. Maybe one day we’ll get paid.

[@oldguyfirewood]

Thanks for the shout out Heath. If you let that clumped grass dry out for a bit and then go over it with the deck up it will look even better! Great series!!!

[@noelstractors-firewood57]

Nice mowers. Are they gasoline or diesel ? After cutting and you need to go over it again. Let it dry till the next day. Then go over it. The clippings will be all gone. I did that this past weekend with my old mower. Works great. Been doing that trick for years. And you get extra seat time. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🤭
