Anybody who names their mowers “Bad Boy” is alright with us. The Bad Boy Maverick zero turn mower aims to own the name with some pretty cool features that combine elements of performance and comfort. In terms of what makes this a “Bad Boy” mower, one of the standout features is no stamped steel anywhere on it. The frame is made from welded 2″ x 2″ 11-gauge steel. The Maverick series of ZT mowers also feature a patented EZ-Ride system which offers front and rear compression vibration reduction. Unlike most zero turns we’ve used, the front arms of the Bad Boy Maverick are split. Each comes off a hinge so it moves independently from the other. Each rear drivetrain is also split and supported separately by twin compression shocks. Together, these features serve to dramatically reduce felt vibration to the operator, and the deck of each Bad Boy mower is free to glide evenly over rugged, uneven terrain.
Aside from the front and rear suspension features, the Bad Boy Maverick Series zero turn mowers offer a SteerTek precision drive. This drive system offers fully adjustable steering levers that let you find the right fit and position for comfortable control of the zero turn mower. Bad Boy also designed the Maverick mowers with a new comfort seat. It has more padding so you don’t feel as much of the terrain.
In addition, the plastic covers over the Bad Boy Maverick fuel tanks give you access to all necessary controls—while giving you space to store your keys, phone, and a drink. The Maverick series is available in two models with different engine configurations—both with 48″, 54″, 60″ deck widths. One model has a 726cc Kawasaki FS730 engine. The other model is available with the 747cc Kohler Confidant engine.
