  • Bay Boy Maver zero turn mower taking on super high weeds on a 6.5-acre lot. How strong is the bad boy Maverick? Is it really as strong as some might claim? Don't do this at home. I am only doing this for entertainment purposes. Never abuse your mower, treat it with love.

      @@JustinsProject its obviously not about speed or power, but more why does the wife enjoy it? Is it the quiet, smooth ride, more chill vibe, steering wheel? I have about 1/2 acre so as long as its quicker than a 20" I'm happy, I'm not shelling out another $3k+ to save 10 minutes per mow on my property. The one factor for me is this time of year (fall) my yard gets about 6-12" deep of oak leaves which is at least 10 4x8 trailer loads of chopped leaves.

    I have 8 acres of tough field grass. I went thru 2 lawn and garden tractors in 5 years. My property destroyed them. I bought a Bad Boy Maverick and I love it. It takes everything I can throw at it with ease. My grass cutting time has been reduced by 2/3. Two upgrades that I made was adding a suspension kit to the seat, and replacing the turf tires with lug tires. Both were well worth the money. I recommend Bad Boy to everyone. The thing is almost indestructable.

    So many of the Bad Boy reviews are only walk a rounds...Look how thick the steel on the deck is...look at the nice paint...look how easy it is to get to the engine air filter...look how easy it is to change oil and filter...On and on. Okay, most of us already know all that, but what almost all of these reviewers fail to do is show us how well it actually mows in the real world. You really gave your mower a real world stress test. VERY IMPRESSIVE!! Thank you!! I may be wrong but I'd wager the Bad Boy engineers (if they have seen this video) are glad there are people like you who are willing to put their mower to the test.
    I recently purchased a Bad Boy MZ Rambler 42 inch powered by a 22hp Kohler 7000 series. Has approximately 1.75hrs run-time behind it so far. I have around .75 acre to take care of.
    I have yet to see or find a single video of the 42" MZ Rambler doing some actual mowing . All I have found so far is walk a rounds with the reviewers bragging and slobbering over the Rambler saying what a great mower and how well built it is.

    Appreciate your recommendations. I'll add one - for an olde pharte with a bad back, either upgrade to the strut equipped seat or the Mav HD. I have just 2 acres to mow - but they're on a bidirectional sloped lot - with lots of potholes and ruts from years of sluffing. Mowing has beat the tar out of me on a Cub Cadet XT1 46" rider and before that a JD L130 48". This yard beats heck out of box store mowers too. Buying a Mav HD 60" had everything to do with mowing comfortably and committing to live here for the rest of our lives. It was that or move because we couldn't find anyone to mow it here - for less than $200 a pop. Just gotta get better at driving the machine - and the infernal rain to let up. ;^) Jack in Sequim

    So same kind of situation man. My pasture is 4 acres and hadn’t been cut in 4 seasons. I just bought a Bad Boy Avenger 6000. Sucker ate it up. Whole field needed two passes to get it all even at 4” without any peach fuzz. But next weekend I’ll do a 3.5” cut and you’ll never know how bad it used to be. My mower blew my mind. I didn’t expect it to cut so easily through that stuff. I wouldn’t recommend being that hard at them all the time. But a brand new mower and one time then maintain from there, yeah it did it perfectly

    I wanna see Bad Boy upgrade you to a Rogue or Renegade and put those through the same tests. You deserve it for the recognition you're giving them.
    And if I had a Rogue or Renegade, I'd do what you did here every day. As long as it's not wood-based vegetation, hit it; don't quit it.
    ***Also, if you want a similar ride to the Maverick, you'd better not choose the Rebel. Neither of them have the squishy front puck suspension.

    One thing to remember is that the Rebel gets you to entry commercial level. Everyone talks about the engine, but it’s more important to talk about the hydraulics and the transmission. The rebel gets you to firm commercial level gears and proper hydraulics.
    I do prefer the Kawasaki, 999 I had grass with thorns, and small plants and trees on 12 acres, just as high, but a lot thicker, and it cut through

    I agree, the Bad Boy is BAD ASS. I have 5 acres but mow about 4. Two weeks ago I bought the ZT Elite 60 that has the 27 hp Kohler.
    I've always heard that the Kohler was a damn good engine. When I mowed our "north 40" (about an acre), it was tall and wet and that Bad Ass went through it like hot butter and that engine BARELY bogged.
    THAT ENGINE IS A BEAST!!!!
    My mowing time of that 4 acres is now about 3.5 - 4 hours including stopping for cold drinks and bathroom break
    I THOUGHT about the other mower that starts with with an H, but I got my Bad Boy and the same size mower deck for $1100 less.

    I agree on the Kohler. The confidant is a little more towards their commercial line and it’s got the cast iron cylinders and they’re pretty tough. Add a Kohler command 23 on my John Deere riding mower and it’s 19 1/2 years old and that thing still works great. I beat that thing to death for years and I have traded to the Maverick because I needed something faster but that old Kohler come in 23 engine on my little John Deere L1 30 is pushing 1000 hours and I replace almost everything on that mower except the engine and all I’ve ever had to do to. It was change a starter plugs a fuel pump and I cleaned the carb once.
    I think the Honda is definitely a better engine and the Kawasaki might be a little better, but I’ve got no problem with the Kohler and chose that. It’s pretty much the same as yours but without the suspension seat. I test drove the rebel, which doesn’t have the suspension on the front and rear wheels like the maverick and even with the suspension seat I liked the ride of the Maverick without the suspension seat better than the rebel. I really wanted to get the maverick HD with the Honda but it just wasn’t worth another $2000 for what I’m doing, I’ve only got a little over 2 acres to mow and got the maverick because it has the 3200 hydros on it, and half of my property is on a fairly steep slope and it’s probably overkill but I’m hoping it will last me 20+ years like that old John Deere did.

    • @JustinsProject

      My Maverick has 3400 Hydros. I don't like that the new ones require the buyer to get the HD version now to get what mine had. I personally liked it when Maverick was just Maverick. I haven't found a BB Rogue without the suspension seat. It's a step up over the Maverick HD. I crossed 200 hours and am still running strong. I am still happy with the Bad Boy.

      @@JustinsProject I was pretty close to getting a rebel and it has the 4400 drives and it had a 27 hp Kawasaki but the one I’ve got is overkill already and I just couldn’t justify spending another $2300. The maverick HD is also a couple thousand dollars more. If I had money to throw away, I probably would’ve gotten the Maverick HD. I think the rebel and the rogue are just too big. They’re a good foot longer and about 300-400 pounds heavier. I was mowing, huge, golf courses, or some thing I can see a point to that but for most yards you’re going to have too many bumps to go full speed even at 9 miles an hour, going 12 or faster would be really sketchy unless you’re on a nice smooth golf course or football field. Mine doesn’t have the suspension seat but it’s still drove a little better than the rebel with the suspension seat in it because the rebel doesn’t have the chassis suspension like the Maverick does. They’re all little different, but I think the maverick was definitely the best bang for the buck. I’ve talked to a few dealers, and they think the same thing and that’s pretty much their best seller because it’s bullshit tough and you really can’t get close in the other brands for the price. I liked hustler and grasshopper also and the high-end Toro mowers were really nice but I just think the Maverick was a better deal and had everything I wanted on it and was still affordable

    I purchased my MZ Magnum 54 with Koehler engine in the middle of the Pandemic. So I had to wait a few months before I was allowed to pick it up. I went from a John Deere 42” (La115?) and had been push mowing my 2.3 acres with a Ryobi 20” push mower (yeah, not ideal but I had to mow and it gave me something to do during the lock down). So I had been taking all week to mow with the Ryobi (insert dumb looking face here) and went to about 2 hours to mow all of my property including trimming. I used to pay a local guy with a tractor to mow the back half of the property but started to mow it myself. It was as high as your field you just cut! I had to go over some of the parts a couple of times, but I don’t fault the mower for that, just this lazy home owner. Haha. I am with you though! Bad Boy construction is top notch. I tested out several in north Texas where we live and most were not as solid as the Bad Boy. Just step on the deck of a Bad Boy and all the rest flopped around (maybe not the pro grades like Ferris and whatnot, but I didn’t heed that high end of machine). Way to go Bad Boy! Only complaint I have is the digital display quit on me after 15 hours. I had seen that in reviews leading up to it. I don’t know if I will replace that or not. It is disappointing that I can’t easily display the hours of use though. All in all, this has been a great machine for us. We are country dwellers so our grass is mostly cut pastureland. Thanks for your review! All the best!

    Density matters more than height does. I've mowed similar fields with a $4k hustler. Most machines with a fabricated deck and at least 21hp can manage mowing tall stuff. I do like the maverick hd though, especially since it is available with a 42" deck, and it may be what I upgrade to in a couple of years when my raptor sd starts to show some wear.

    Bought a 48" MZ Magnum on the 7th of this month with the Briggs 25hp engine, Last Saturday just three weeks and less than 8 hours the engine started making a racket, took both spark plugs out, one at a time and started it, looks like the rods are bent on one side. Only thing I was worried about when I bought this was the engine. Very nice mower and I love to use it, however now it is sitting waiting for Bad Boy to decide on what do with it.

    Is it better to get a smaller deck with same motor? Seems like you would have more power in tall grass.

    • @JustinsProject
      @JustinsProject  Před rokem

      I got the 60-inch deck because it makes for faster work when mowing over 6 acres. Smaller deck (below 48") usually means 2 blades vs. 3 blades. I'm not sure either way, I can see positives and negatives for both smaller and larger decks. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻

    How is using a light commercial grade mower in a field of tall weeds abusing it? What are you supposed to do, fence it and turn loose some hungry goats?

    • @JustinsProject
      @JustinsProject  Před 2 měsíci

      Eventually, it may cause premature failure to components of the mower, since ultimately it is designed to cut short or moderate-height grass. Although it is built like a tank and would probably last many many years with no issues it is not specifically designed for this. We were cutting the field roughly every week and a half last summer. This year we choose to let it grow and cut it for hay. Let the frail mower do what it's designed to do. If fencing was not so expensive, goats or sheep would be a great option 😀
