The Bad Boy 5000ZT Zero Turn Mower is quite similar to the Bad Boy CZT50 Zero Turn Mower in that they both have the same size mower deck. However, the 5000 ZT is a scaled down version of the CZT 50. There are 2 different engines to choose from for the 5000ZT, both rated at 27 HP. The first option is a Kohler Courage engine. This engine has a displacement of 0. 725 liters. Overheating is prevented by an air cooling system and it has 2 cylinders. The other option is a Briggs and Stratton Professional Series engine that is also a two-cylinder model. This engine also uses an air cooling system. Both engines have a key start system that uses a 12-volt battery. Both engines have a 16 amp alternator attached to them to recharge the 12 volt battery.
The fuel tank on the Bad Boy 5000ZT zero-turn mower has a very large capacity. It can hold up to 54. 9 liters (14. 5 US gallons) of gasoline to allow for incredibly long run times before it needs to be refilled. The 5000 ZT mower uses a dual hydrostatic drive system to transfer engine power to the rear wheels. The amount of power each wheel receives is determined by the dual turn bars located in front of the operator. The maximum speed of the mower is 11. 3 km/h.
The Bad Boy 5000ZT Zero Turn Mower has a mower deck with 3 blades housed inside it. The mower deck has a 50-inch cutting width. Each of the three blades is 16. 5 inches in length. The deck that surrounds the blades is made of 3/16″ thick steel. The mower deck is electrically raised and lowered, which means there are infinite cutting heights from a low 1. 5 inches to a high 5 inches above the ground.
