Lawn mowers
« on: May 17, 2020, 06:23:08 PM »
Several years ago I bought a Craftsman 42" lawn mower. Worked great until my father in law had to get rid of his cows. So I took back part of the pasture and made my yard a whole lot bigger. The 42" just took so damn long to cut it all. Plus I have to cut around the old homestead now he's passed.

Friday I decided after looking and researching on a Bad Boy ZT Elite 60".
Man what a difference....I love this mower.

That’s a heck of a machine.  Very much needed with 5 acres

How fast will it go?

When I bought my craftsman new 20 years ago it was supposed to go 5mph.  It'll still cook, but not quite as fast.

Top speed is 7 mph
I thought that sounded slow
but it is pretty fast. When you add
the 60" cut .....I was left wishing
I had more grass to cut...lol

Yeah, that's what I was thinking...very fast and wide makes it a relatively quick cut. 

How long to clear the 5 acres?

Reduced from a little over 4 hrs
down to 2 hours. I will get a better
idea after the 2nd time I cut it.

What other mowers did you look at and what made you finally choose this one?
