I have a buddy of mine that sells multiple lawn mower brands including Bad Boy. He recently got in several Bad Boy Bandit’s in both the 550 and 750 models. Anyone here know anything about them? He was saying how nice they were but he’s also a salesman. I didn’t know they had ventured into the side by side market. I am in the market for a new one and he quoted me $12K for the 750 model. Comes standard with a HD front bumper, 3500lb winch and gas adjustable shocks.

I wouldn't buy one with YOUR money.

Just buy a ranger 1000 and be done with it.

John Deere and Kawasaki have both been using a Chery engine, from China, for years. It's been very reliable.

The Polaris is what I was looking at originally but the cost of one is through the roof. I will say I haven’t made it to the point of going to look at them, but building one on the Polaris site was a little over $20K.
