It may sell better with a little more information. Why are you selling? What year? What makes it a better mower than others?

Wow, that is a rare find. I though they went out of business in the late 90's, However, they must have struggled along a little longer. That one must have been built after they moved the plant from Oklahoma to Arkansas. THey had some really neat designs, and innovative ideas. First one of their mowers of that sytle I have ever seen.

I did a little research on Google to see if I could find out more about the history of Dynamow. There does not seem to be much info. available.
Dynamow mowers were built in Cushing, Ok. I found a news note that Dynamow announced a plan to expand their Cushing plant in 1995. Something must have gone wrong though, as they were reported to be out of business by late 1995.
In 1997, the rights to the mower name and design were purchased by Askew Fabrications, in Yukon, Ok. They announced resumption of production of a 72 "model that would retail for $18000.00, as well as construction of a larger facility in which to build them. Their mower manufacturing division was called,
Shortgrass Industries.
I found reference to an advertisement that these mowers were indeed being built in 2000 by Shortgrass industries in Yukon, Ok.
Again, something must have gone wrong, as the production moved to somewhere in Arkansas after 2000. Since you have a 2003 there, that may very well be one of the last mowers ever built by whoever was building them in Arkansas.
It sure would be interesting to know the whole story about this company.

I would love to know what happened as well. The concept was awesome its a heavy duty built mower.I have searched for the dynamow an I have found a few of the red and white ones that had the hydraulic spindles on the cutter housing. I guess when they sold out that is when the changed the color scheme to yellow an started calling them a Dynamow yellow jacket!The is another guy that I found that has one in North Carolina an he is wanting $6,700 for it! His has 40 hours on it! Thanks for the info ,,,George

that thing looks awesome man, i would love it if i had the money. it looks like a very wide discharge too, something i think manufacturers miss out on many times. how does it cut and discharge(i am sure great since you are trying to sell it) and be honest. is that a single joystick control right between the nuts?? if so, how odd it must be to get used to after using over the lap controls for manyyears.

The machine cuts very smooth, I have never had a diesel mower but since I have used this, a diesel is the way to go . They have plenty of power and the cutter housing is so smooth when cutting. They dont bog down ever an the discharge rocks .I am very tempted just to keep the machine ,,,, the joy stick is a one handed operation an is the only way to go .

I seem to remember that the co was taken over and named Bad Boy. They are in Batesville, AR. I have seen a few and they are built like tanks.

Bad Boy is a seperate entity in a whole , Bad boy mowers are complete cheaply assembled machines,,,,Bad Boy Has a great Looking machine but they are crafted on a very low budget.I think once they get the units tweaked out an start putting quality craftmenship into there product they will have something to talk about! The first thing Bad Boy needs to do is get out of the big boxed stores an start working on Quality. When ya see a commercial product hit the big boxed stores those companies have to build a cheaper line of product so the homeowner clientel can afford to buy i! I have seen alot of companies do that an there product turns out to be junk! Ya never seen a Scag sold at TSC or a shindiawa trimmer, look closely when ya buy a product ,,,, The mower I am selling is on a whole class by itself , I have never seen a deck built with the quality that this deck is built on.

That mower is very basic, If you have any exp. working on commercial mowers you will find all parts are very common . Bearings are an easy find an the spindles can be rebuilt. Even if a company goes out of business parts are not obsolete especially on the mechanical side of the mower.The dyna mow is a great mower just alittle bulky for the residential user, great mower for an industrial aplication , Thanks George
