The bigger brother is the massive Bad Boy 7200 Lightning Z zero turn lawnmower which has a 72 inch cutting width. The mower deck on the Lighting Z 6000 lawn mower has 3 blades, each of which is 20.5 inches long and 2.5 inches wide. The blades have been developed from heat treated steel to keep them sharper for longer. These blades are powered by a belt drive system and are housed inside a deck that is fabricated from 1/4″ thick steel. The deck has a number of gauge wheels attached to it to keep it moving smoothly over the ground during operation. These wheels also help to prevent it from ‘scalping’ the lawn.

The operator can raise and lower the mower deck on the Bad Boy 6000 Lightning Z from a low of just 1.5 inches above the ground up to a height of 5 inches above the ground using an instant lift electronic actuator which gives the driver infinite cutting height positions.
