Read articles →This is a brand-new owner's recap of their multi-brand shopping process, not a hands-on review of the Bad Boy 5055S itself. It compares impressions of John Deere, Kubota, Kioti, and TYM/Bad Boy dealers on price, customer service, and hydraulics, then explains in general terms why they picked the 5055S's shuttle shift over hydrostatic. No walkaround, specs, or operation shown; a deeper video is promised later. Best for shoppers comparing dealer experiences, not tractor capabilities.
Posted by first-time tractor buyers sharing their personal purchase decision rather than a technical or dealer review.
They preferred the shuttle shift over hydrostatic, found the TYM Bad Boy dealer knowledgeable and helpful, and felt the tractor had more power than others they tried.
The shuttle shift lever is a little chintzy, the tractor is on the lighter side given its horsepower and bucket max, and the company is newer.
Both had higher prices and lacking customer service; Kubota dealers also trash talked other brands and local businesses, creating a bad experience.
Kioti had a good price point, compact footprint, and strong shuttle shift system, but the dealer didn't take them seriously and hydraulics were abrupt.
