The Bad Boy Mowers ZT Elite 54″ Zero-Turn Mower powered by the 24 HP Kawasaki FR730V engine is a high-performance residential zero-turn mower designed for large yards with gates or tight obstacles. It packs the same commercial-grade power and heavy-duty construction as its larger counterparts into a slightly more nimble 54-inch footprint.
