[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3424111, member: 15054"] I have 2 friends with Bad Boys and one mows commercially with his 72" deck. He has had a few of the Home depot junkers..The Bad Boy went a whole season without any issues. Replace blades is all. They both love their mowers. I have a Not zero turn Simplicity. It was JUNK when I got it. Thin deck all rusted out and it was only used for a 30x80 foot yard for 3 years. I had to rebuild the deck with a mower deck from an old Murry rider from 1980 that was not rusted out. Simplicity powder coated the deck or some sort of very thick orange coating that would lift from the steel deck and allow moisture to get between it and the steel. Instant rust out. The under side of the simplicity deck had triangle dams welded in to create a bit more velocity to make the grass exit the under side of the deck. BUT they did not cap it off all around and grass and dirt would pack into the crevices and you guessed it Rusted out there also. Look under their decks and decide for yourself. Look under all decks and see if there is an area that would trap dirt etc. [/QUOTE]
