If there is such a thing, I would like some unbiased opinions if any of you mow commercially. I have never owned a Badboy or a Scag. Scag has been around forever, and I know people are loyal to them for a reason, because they are proven. I hear a lot of Scag guys say Badboy is junk, but I just wonder if it's true or just hear say. When I do research, it appears the Badboy has the better pumps, wheel motors, transmissions, etc. they have a sturdier deck, and the motors are equivalent. So why do I hear so much negative about them? I have found a good price on a Scag and a Badboy and the price point is considerably cheaper on the Badboy. Trying to make a decision. I know Badboy doesn't use a middleman for sales and that's one reason prices are lower.
