Well Justin I guess Bad Boy should make you a rep. Because of your video I went to a dealer today and tried out that seat and you were 1000% spot on. Having had back surgery, the seat was the difference. I now own a Maverick HD. Thanks for making an informative and straightforward review. Keep it up. 😊

Yes, Kohler is excellent. I would recommend to you that after you start it, you let it warm up for a moment, not just take off on a cold engine (it's not a car). Then, same principle... once to move the machine go >slow< for the first minute or two.. Let the hydro and belts warm up a little. The machine is already saving you a huge amt of time, you can take it easy on it when it's cold to avoid future problems (also same thing on shut-down: idle the motor down for a bit first) 👍 ~

And don't fire it up cold at full throttle. Also, after running it hard for a while bring it down to idle for 30-60 seconds to let the engine cool before shutting it off. This allows everything to cool down evenly. Also won't vapor lock the carb, so it should start without the choke once warmed up.

Based on your review, I decided to get the suspension seat. I looked at the difference between the Maverick and the Maverick HD. The seat is about a $800 dollar upgrade for the Maverick. The seat comes standard with the Maverick HD. The Maverick HD has the 3400 hydraulics, and two 6.5 gallon tanks, in addition to also having the suspension seat. I found the Maverick HD with a 60" deck Kawasaki engine at my local dealer in stock and I bought it for not a lot more than adding the suspension seat to a Maverick. My old riding lawn tractor used to beat me up. No more getting beat up with the Maverick HD. Thanks for the advice in your review. I am very happy with my purchase.

The bad boy rep. recommends not to use when the grass is wet so as mot to allow moisture in the spindle bearings ( even though they are sealed) Also with very tall graa I would make 1 pass with the max. height and the next pass with the desired height.Also I would discharge the grass on the outside not the inside where the uncut grass is. Finally even though this mower might be great and powerful in case I would be mowing something that looks more like a field rather then a lawn I would consider a medium size tractor (like 24hp.) because I could also use the rear PTO for so many options!

I can't stand the two lever controls instead of just one joystick! Bobcat skid steer tractors had that kind of controls for a long time and I hated them on that too just like a lot of people did!!! Eventually every tractor on the market went to a single joystick including bobcat which is now owned by Doosan. I'm not sure why the blithering idiots that design those mowers won't go to a single joystick also like every other mechanical motorized device on the market!!! It would be a very simple conversion to put a single joystick on any of those mowers!!! Just remove those two levers then install a single joystick to control both drive motors with simple linkage in the shape of a triangle! It's idiotic that they decided to use a very old fashioned steering system design back in 1947 by the Melroe Co. An extremely outdated system of steering!!! A very antiquated system that is almost 80 years out-of-date!!! If other companies decide to put a two-lever steering system like that in a modern vehicle they would probably be fired or laughed out of the industry!!!!

Hi Justin, Thanks for a very informative video. If I could ask..... can you raise the deck(for mowing long grass or such) and run the mower(cut) with the deck in the raised position? The reason I ask is that I run my Toro(Diesel) with the deck Up so that I can take the top of my back paddock which helps just prior to "fire season" and also I believe it helps to reduce the chance of my few steers getting Pink Eye. Again very interesting video and loved the demo cutting thank you. Peter (Australia)

I will have to disagree. I had a kohler engine on my old husqvarna that had over 600 hours on it. All I ever did to that engine was change the oil on time. We shall see if this one holds up as well as that one did. Right on as the technical name of the "Air Ride" seat. It can be added later and is highly recommended to do so if someones budget allows them to do it. My point is that seat saves the rider's body fatigue which is the most important.

I bought the Maverick in 2022(March). Overall I would agree with most of you observations. My experience is build quality is by far the most durable of any of the zero turns I have had. At least at the price point. So easy to grease the fittings, change the filters/fluids in the fall before you put the battery on the tender.😉 I use a blower to clean it off after use, and I always blow off the machine, never use water until its completely cooled down. Especially on the deck parts. I don't want to weaken or warp any parts....... I mow about 3.5 acres and its fairly smooth, but if I were mowing rough ground or mowing a lot. The seat is worth it. I have the 54" deck, just for maneuverability, lot crap to get in and around on the property. I have the Kawasaki engine. I really would like to have the Briggs with 28HP. Just for a little more power at the blades. I don't need to go any faster. 7, 8, 9 MPH who cares, I would say its around 5 mph around the entire yard. I never need the choke after its been running. I will say this the Kawasaki is LOUD. My neighbor has the same machine as I do but he has the Kohler and its not as loud. You might say why would it matter. Spend 2-4 hours sitting in front of it and you will understand. I always wear ear protection, but just noteworthy that it is a louder motor.

Louder than the kohler? I think the kohler is loud as hell. I agree, after mowing 3 to 4 hours straight sound population begins to be rather bothersome. Definitely want to use good ear protection.

I really want to try the DR 60" electric mower but haven't seen it anywhere other than online.

Good video Justin, thanks. Like to hear from owners with experience rather than only from the salesmen. I have a number of older mowers I want to upgrade, hopefully to a zero-turn, so I'm in the market. A couple items I'd like to mention. At 13:50 you mention the tires spinning, consider filling the rears with liquid, could make a difference. And the roll-bar in the up position, most all of the commercial mowers I know and have seen just leave the roll bar down most often, but that'd be your call (hills???). Regarding engine, you're spot on. I have a Kohler engine that's been running great for 21 years on my main lawn tractor mower. But my Kawasaki on my stand on only lasts about 9 - 10 years. And I service everything myself annually, use seafoam regularly in the fuel and so forth. Something I noted was the dealer displays/sells a Kawasaki engine rebuild manual on the wall behind the cash register, I guess for just in case it's needed! Come to think of it, my Koehler's and Brig's all out perform my Kawasaki, just my experience. But who knows, maybe the newer or commercial Kawasaki's are better! Specifically, the valves are the issue for my Kawasaki, they give up and the engine losses compression - then hard starting with low power. Again, I have an older, smaller Kawasaki. Can't remember the model because I parked it a few years ago, just not in the mood to do another valve job. But also, the engine needs to be properly sized to the machine and how it will be used. The engine drives both the mower and cutter so it needs to be up to the job. I think the older machines had to go through some years of actual use before the mower manufacturer figured it out. Yeah, not the engine's fault, but more likely the mower manufacturer for under sizing the power for the machine, just a thought!

In November of '22 I purchased a '23 Maverick HD 60" & IMHO the Honda EFI is the way to go all day, can't speak on the others because I wanted a Honda and had my dealer special order it. This thing is a BAD AZZ beast. I cut a total of 10acres, about 3.5 is "yard" the other 6.5 is the "field". Here in SC the "yard" gets cut basically weekly and the "field" monthly and I love this beast. My neighbors say "shoot, I'd buy a tractor and bush hog that field", why do I need to invest in a tractor and bush hog when this "BAD BOY" does it just as good, actually better, plus has a better overall look than bush hogging. I will DEFINITELY as you stated say put the air ride suspension seat setup on, don't skimp on that upgrade, as well for myself personally just because I didn't want to worry about getting flats from the small Bradford Pear tree thorns that constantly try growing up in the field, I put the Michelin No-Flat X-Twill grade tires on the rear (unfortunately an expensive upgrade) w/ the factory Bad Boy No-Flat fronts. YES, does it's probably make for a "harder" ride, I'll agree, but the seat setup makes up for it, and I don’t have to worry about flats ever. Any consumer out there better look in to the Bad Boy lineup before they make a purchase, can they get "pricey" yes, but consider my cost of I added in a tractor/bush hog setup just for my field. This thing does it all and does it all very well, I as well added the rear hitch and I move both a bass boat and a camper around on my property w/ it (I know it's not built for that, but it'll do it), I'm about the same as you are on the fuel consumption, but I think it's a fair shake @ the end of the day. Oh yeah, to both all of the present owners & prospective, do your maintenance (very simple and all easy to get to as you pointed out" as well blow it off w/ the lawn blower after every cut & I think it'll hold up for many, many yrs of exceptional service. Sir, your videos are spot on and very informative, I enjoy all of your content. So keep on "BAD BOYIN".

I've been looking at the Bad Boy mowers and I like the Maverick. Might make the stretch to get the Rebel or the Rogue though. I don't see me using the ROPS much. While I have a pretty hilly yard, we also have an orchard and surprise wheelies are no fun when that ROPS bar catches a limb. I have a Cub Cadet Ultima ZT2 60 currently. It wasn't really what I wanted but stock was limited when I bought my house in the Fall. It's been a really reliable mower for the past 4 years though. I couldn't see dropping big money on a suspension seat for that so I got one of those Trac suspensions that mounts between your seat and the machine. It adds a couple inches to your ride height but it really makes a difference to the ride. For under $200, it's a no-brainer If you don't want to spring for the seat.
@JustinsProject

The Maverick has been a great mower and I continue to use it weekly. I would like to have the Rebel X but I can not justify buying it just to have it. 😀 Although, I bet the suspension seat with those tires would offer an even better ride. Plus it would be roughly an additional 250cc. If it's in your budget check out the Rebel X ( badboycountry.com/mowers/rebel-x )

Yeah, I'm not a fan of the rollbar, either. I think it's unnecessarily tall. When up, it grabs limbs and hits you in the back of the head. But that's not all, I forgot about the rollbar, and got hooked on a leaning tree. The mower popped about a 2-3ft wheelie. Fortunately, i stopped, thought about it for a second, then backed up and lowered the front back down.

I'VE used Bad Boys The 1st year they came out, Bad Boy Mow with an attitude! I WOULD TAKE OFF OR THAT Could Roll a lady died last year using a roll cage it's more safe to take them off, I'll make a a video and show you what all The Limited edition I'd the exact same as The Maverick your mowing with!

My old Craftsman rider had a 23 hp Kohler and was still running excellent after over 20 years of mowing west Texas caliche rocks and sparse grass. I use a '52 Ford 8n with a 5' shredder to mow the pastures.
