I’ve posted this on other threads but spartan mowers are made by one of the old owners of bad boy, they look pretty similar but I thought the Spartans looked a little more heavy duty.. they haven’t been out a long time but I liked them more and they had a better warranty which included lifetime deck warranty on the leading edge.. I’m sure some others offer the deck warranty but I don’t think bad boy does.. either way you should be able to get a better deal on a 2018 right now with whatever brand you decide

I own a shop so welding cutting etc is not an issue , I guess I am wondering how it differs bladed rotation ?? I have to cur around a ton of pipe case fence and I have to cut one way so its a pain .

However they don’t do as well in overgrown. I’m more partial to Grasshoppers rear discharge that also employs a 4th blade at the rear discharge chute.
I cut every week but the grass grows fast here I lift the rubber flap to let it blow out further .. to not have the wind row .

I was looking at both of these last year and went with the Fastrak 54". Mainly because of the dealer being local and not wanting to use TSC. Good thing I did. The muffler was bad and had to be replaced within the first 4 hours of use. The local dealer came and picked it up twice(30 mile round trip) and then came the third time and changed the oil for free after the break in oil needed replacing.

I own a raptor sd54 without any problems.Originally posted by mudkat View PostI think the main thing is to find a good servicing dealer of what ever make you choose close to you , They all break eventually.
I have a hustler thats over 60 hours of trouble free maintenance. I think hustler has an option now that the deck raises vertically to work on blade etc. Thats huge to me
