Bad boy ZT elite - experiences?

Anyone have any positive or negative experience with this mower? I’ll be mowing about 2.5 acres with it regularly - weekly during prime time grass cutting season. Basic specs: 7 gauge fabbed deck, 3100 hydro gears, Kawasaki FR730, 54” deck. Any significant reason (other than personal preference) to look at anything else? I’ll have a dealer within 10 min from home and planning to buy from them. Appreciate any insight. I’m assuming most would rec the Kawasaki over Kohler, but what about a 726/24 hp Kawasaki vs a 747/26 hp Kohler?

BB is a really good brand especially for residential use like you are looking at.
I’d go with the Kawasaki btw.

I've had my 54" ZT Elite for about a year now. I love it. HUGE upgrade over my old hustler 42.
I have about 2.5 acres of grass to cut myself and it is a breeze. No issues so far.
I do have the kohler motor, as it was the only one they had in stock at the time. It's a beast.

I’ve had a magnum for 5 or 6 years. Have the Koehler engine, it’s been trouble free. Of note, my backyard has plenty of trees/roots, and it’s one rough riding SOB back there. Will rattle your teeth. Next purchase, I will be taking a closer look at which models have good suspension for a smoother ride

Thanks everyone. Makes me feel a little better about possibly going the Kohler 7000 or Kohler Confident route. I have read that the air suspension seat is a worthwhile upgrade. The upgrade is about 7-800 or you can move up to the Maverick HD where it is in the standard package.

Compared the BB to the Scag Tiger Cat II and ultimately went with the Scag with a Kawasaki and is a beast of a mower. I cut about 3 acres in a few hours. The seat comfort, usb, and beer holder is HUGE!

I’ve got the Zt Elite limited 60”.
This is my first year with it so I can’t speak to longevity but I absolutely love mowing with it.
I mow about the same acres as you and it’s made my life a lot easier

I cut my parents 3 acres with a Cub Cadet with the Kohler 7000.
It's a 2009 model. Just saying, I can't say I see why anyone has a problem with the Kohler.
I am trying to talk them into upgrading soon...I burn through quite a few belts every summer now. I may just have to buy one myself and have been looking at the Bad Boys.

I’m looking at a limited right now. You go with the Kohler Confident or the Briggs?

I’ve got the Kohler. Salesman steered me away from the Briggs.
