Bad Boy v. Hustler
Okay guys i really need your advice. I'm looking at both a Hustler Super Z with the 31HP Kawi and 52" deck or a Bad Boy Lightning with a similar configuration. Advice please.

52" deck= a lot of weedeating. Get a 60" hustler... Something like 8" of trim... and fits any place a 52 will for the most part.

I would lead you to look at the hydro system pump and wheel motor size. Compare those and that should lead you in the right direction. Also compare standard features (ROPS, warranty, etc), why would a company sell without these?
But the main thing is demo both and see what cuts well for you. If it doesn't cut well then it won't be a good mower no matter what right?

It got me thinking. I was looking at their site and was surprised to see how much you have to pay for things that are standard on most other commercial machines. Flat-Free caster tires - $179.90 ROPS - $495.00 Foot Pedal Kit - $373.14 ($179 factory option) - for those who like to have one That really adds up. The whole optional ROPS thing got me thinking further... Another thing about BadBoy that surprises Is their decision not to comply with the voluntary ANSI safety standards that the rest of the industry has adopted. To my knowledge, Dixie Chopper is the only other OEM that doesn't comply. I'm a little bit jealous. Their lack of compliance allows them to sell OCDC's like the ACS. I like the ACS but ANSI won't let an OEM get away with something like that. They must not have had a bad safety / injury / roll-over related lawsuit yet. I'm sure when they do, they'll wish they had a safety certification to stand behind. Q

As JimQ already knows, I am a big fan of Hustler mowers. But, I would never buy the 52" Super Z for the same reasons as Accu-cut, no trimming capacity on the left side of deck. Do as he said, go up to a 60" or if you definitely want a smaller deck. go with a 54"Z4. It's not in the same class but, has some trimming capacity.
I can't say much about the Bad Boy. No one in my area even sells them.

Your exactly right, when one of these companies gets nailed with a rollover or something else, they will comply in a hard way  You all know what happend with toro/exmark. OUCH!!
