Awesome I hope mine last that long. 👍🏻
My bad boy is a brute no issues. They are worth the money
Yea it’s for sure a solid mower!!
Great review on the mower Rogers! I’m going to have to send you a LSU sticker for your mower lol! Great video brother 👍

Thank you!!
Great video buddy keep up the great work brother
Thanks! Will do!👍🏻
Good work bro! 🤛
Thank you! 👍🏻
That actually is a well-built deck. Beast of a engine I had a 26hp and it ran fast and cut like no other. Things probably to heavy to climb hills. Run it until the wheels fall off.
It’s definitely a solid well built mower. It mows through some thick grass for sure. I defiantly plan on running it til it blows up. 👍🏻
@@RogersLawnCare same here Tyler with mine ??
I have the 2020 rebel with tweels and 1 inch spacers made a huge difference on ditches.
I plan on getting tweels eventually. I’ve heard good things about them.
I have 61" rebel 35hp kas about 700 hours cuts awesome no problems
Yea I love it man. It’s a good mower. 👍🏻
Looking at purchasing one of these for my Mowing business. I've used a magnum 54" the last 2 years and realize now with a goal of 70 yards i need a commercial mower. As far as those knobs go that keep coming loose, I'd put actual bolts on your handles, deck pedal, any others you know you won't need to keep where you can untighten by hand. As the another poster said, i screwed 2- 1'-2x4s behind each wheel as wheel chocks and don't need to ratchet mine down. Bad boys are great mowers it just sucks all this piddly cosmetic stuff becomes a pain. Great informative video!
Well after a few rains them knobs haven’t came loose anymore and they kinda got stuck on there I guess from a little rust I say lol. And I got the break on my mower to do a little better I adjusted it and its doing a lot better and staying put on my trailer. Commercial mowers are a must if ur gonna be mowing a lot of yards. Makes it a lot easier. Thank you and sorry for not responding back faster just now saw this! 👍🏻
No problem! Again very informative video, it just showed me that everything on these are mechanically sound which is good. I can deal with the cosmetic stuff. I've always read the Kohler motors are the way to go but I've personally never had a Kawasaki so can't really speak on that. Glad to hear you got the parking brake adjusted. Those rusted knobs are not a bad thing either. When you need them loose, remove them and replace with bolts would be my go to lol. What do you do in the winter months? Part of my business is property management so I do tree work, general contractor type stuff to keep busy.
@@cameronbachelor4066 yea Kawasaki motors have always been good for me and a lot of other people I know have had good luck with them. I usually do some landscaping projects. I always paint and draw so I do alot of art projects for people. I can post that in the future for people to see if they wanna see that.
Gotta say Go Dawgs lol but good video I’m on the fence between maverick hd or the rebel. I currently have the raider walk behind
I would personally go with the Rebel. Mavericks are nice but I don’t think they are made as solid and the rebels. The price point is pretty nice considering the build quality and that it’s a commercial grade. Really good mowers can’t complain. I have seen a lot of people get the mavericks and love them to tho. GO VOLS and thank you!
@@RogersLawnCare thanks brother be safe this season
👍👍👍👍
You can add some Loctite on the screw for the handles that keep coming loose or I took a pair of pliers and tightened it real tight. Don’t overtighten it but it’s been good for me for two years.
It hasn’t gave me anymore issues. I finally got it right enough! 👍🏻👍🏻
If you screw a 2x4 to the deck of your trailer right behind the back tires of the mower it will keep it from rolling or moving around on the trailer and you won’t have to strap it down every time. Just put the board up against the tires and screw it down.
Yea I planned on doing that. Just haven’t gotten around to it yet.
Purchased a 2022 72" w/999 Kawasaki Rouge. Knob on my deck height control would come loose - I just placed a rubber washer behind the knob...never loosened again, cost me .22 cents.
Yea I’m gonna get a lock nut from work to put on it. But that’s the way to go cause that knob just ain’t it. Lol.
Def need the Tennessee sticker. Go Vols
For sure 😂🔥🍊
I have a ZTE elite I use commercially as a backup mower and I can climb hills with it hope u got it fixed.
It’s been killing it now no problem. 👍🏻
✅
Gonna gave trade that bad boy lol and that stick on the muffler cracked o dad up lol but still a good mower for the money 💰 but can't complain with my Toro so far 5 years done real good
Toro might me be the next purchase one day!
My motor developed glazed cylinders at 490 hours. Seemed to be a manufacturer defect. Kohler command pro 27 hp. Warranty covered a new block and now it has a lifter tick on the new one. Aside from that its the best mower ive ran and ive ran many commercial grade machines. Cut quality on this machine is significantly better than any other machine I've ran. Thats why if this motor goes I'll say screw the warranty and get a Kawasaki. As for the star knobs, you can use the nuts from the ROPS as a replacement. Additionally, the machine weighs 1250 lbs and the hydro gear is underpowered for the machine, you have to mow hills diagonally forward and backwards w the back tires to the bottom of the hill. Mine surges too after a group of lawns when i turn off the blades
The Kawasaki has done me good so far. I am at 200hrs now with it. I hope nothing happens but I still have my warranty as well so will see. The cut quality is still great and I still love the mower. Yea would like to have some better pumps but it is what it is. I got the surging fixed and it hasn’t came back since so I’m glad. 👍🏻
@@RogersLawnCare How did you get the surging fixed? Were they able to identify the exact cause or was it just a carb clean
@@largesmack8517 they said the governor screw was stripped out from factory. So they replace it. That’s all I know.
@@RogersLawnCare Ok thanks
Put blue loc tite on there, it'll make it tight but yet you can still go back and undo it if you need to
Yea that might have to end up doing that!
Scags are a lighter mowers, badboys are heavier. But I'd take it to the dealer see if they can fix the break on it. Nice mower though
I got it figured and made some adjustments to it. It’s doing a lot better. 👍🏻 thank you!!
Did you look into the Rogue ? I’m interested in the suspension it has. Debating the Kawasaki or Kohler 38.5 EFI?
I would definitely go with Kawasaki. That seems to be the go to for everybody. I trust Kawasaki better. I haven’t looked into the rogues much but I’ve seen em in person and they look killer. I’m sure they are great as well.
I have never mowed a yard at 5 inches. Never really thought about it until you said something.
That space is large, how long did it take you?
You have good content big dawg, keep it up.
Looking forward to learning from you.
Yea I mow it high and it does great. Takes me about 3 hours to mow that field. Thank you so much. Glad ur liking the videos! 👍🏻
@@RogersLawnCare man 3 hours of mowing is no joke…that will get me more tired than 3 hours of using the stick tools.
I noticed mowing it on 5 leaves nice stripes in it, that’s a great look from the highway.
I’m looking at a Badboy rebel with the 35 hp motor. I only mow my 4 acres and would like to have your opinion on the rebel.
Yea I definitely recommend it man! It’s a solid mower. Thick metal and tough deck. Cut quality is great. Does fine on gas but mine is a 27hp so that could differ. Mine hasn’t bogged down on wet grass or thicker grass yet. If u have a lot of hills it will slide but that could have something to do with the tires I have on mine also. If ur just using it for your home then it’s a definite yes u should definitely consider one.
Just bought a 2023 bad boy Rebel 27hp Kawasaki carbureted, I got over 4 acres, very happy with the power & cut no complaints yet! I already did the break-in. Where you change engine oil at 12 hours I believe the next Oil Change would be 50 hours also the hydros! Overall I really love the badboy rebel!
Thanks for sharing. Some of the negatives might be enough to make me look at other mowers as I start to look for one.
Your welcome. It’s a good mower. I have over 200 hours on it now and haven’t had any issues or anything out of it. Always good to look around and make sure tho.
Brake adjustments are very easy. factory messed up the adjustment
Yea I finally adjusted it while back. It does a lot better now. 👍🏻
Toro is better mower i think
Toro is a good brand. My dad has one and I love it. The price on em have got outrageous tho. 😬
Too many problems! Send that back to the dealership 😡
