dukeblue01,
I made an offer on one of those 54" Bad Boy Outlaws last fall along with a Hustler Fastrak Super Duty, A Dixon DX100 and a Gravely Pro-Turn XDZ100(which I ended up buying). I looked at many others including Toro, Wright, Ex-Mark and Grasshoppers. The Grasshoppers are used a lot here in Middle TN, but they were out of my budget range. I too was impressed with the beastly build of the Bad Boy Outlaw(that 5gauge deck is a honker) but wished it came with a Kawasaki FX Commercial(and a standard ROPS). On this forum and another I have read posts where Bad Boy owners love their mowers, but have also read some very negative posts by owners who were not very pleased with the quality of the cut. I still probably would have bought one though if I hadn't looked at the Gravely and the Gravely dealer accepted my out-the-door counter offer that was ~ $1k less than the MSRP plus taxes. If you want to check out the Gravely's, find a nearby dealer and check online MSRP pricing from a dealer's website here's a link:
