Look at the front forks on the bad boy, also the frame and spindles compared to the bota. I was worried sick when i heard about the kommander coming out until i looked it over and drove it. Those skinny tires ride terrible i am not near as worried. I saw tons of corners cut on it. Really get down and dirty on it i saw many things sub par compred to the zt. I was thinking zg227 quality in that. Honestly the bad boy is built more like the 227blue in tge frame forks and deck...

By "Skinny tires" you mean the low profile rear tires on the Kubota correct? The width of the Kubota and BB are 22 inchs.

I meant like the profile. They have a very short length on the sidewall. I didnt look real close, but it looked to have a bigger wheel, but same 22" tire, felt alot rougher riding than the BB and I figured that was the reason... Kinda like a 22" wheel on a car has a skinny side wall, but same car with same size tire on a 16" wheel will ride much better. Also if the dealers will let you drive both around the 2 mowers drive quite a bit different. The bb has smoother controls, and the bota is more responsive. Some like one or the other better...
