 o
Simplicity or Bad Boy

I'm looking to a 50"-60" lawn mower in the $5000-$6000 range. I've narrowed it down to two or three models. Simplicity ZT4000, Simplicity Citation and the Bad Boy ZT. I really like the suspension the Simplicity comes with but the ZT4000 is only a 48" cut for $5500. The Bad Boy doesn't have any suspension but seems to be heavier built but has a 60" cut for $5300. The Simplicity Citation is a 52" cut but is $7500. The Symplicity's have a hydraulic transmission and the Bad Boy has a hydro gear trans axle drive. Any suggestions?

When I was shopping for a ZTR, I was more impressed by the Bad Boy for their ruggedness over the Simplicity. I'm not sure about the newest models but I would not sacrifice build quality just to get the suspension.

I'd buy a Bad Boy machine from that "Cutie" in their commercials. She sounds really sincere, and earnest to boot! RJ
