Our verdict
Bad Boy ZT Elite 60
The ZT Elite has been Bad Boy's best seller for years, and the reason is a spec sheet that reads richer than the price. You get patented independent front suspension, which almost nothing else offers at this money, plus a 7-gauge deck that is genuinely among the heaviest in its class and a welded steel frame with a low stance. It is available at Tractor Supply, so you can sit on one before buying. The catch is the warranty, just two years or 200 hours, which is short next to rivals. If you value ride and deck strength over paperwork, it is a lot of mower for the outlay.
