Includes a brief dealer walkthrough of controls and gears, plus honest day-one bush-hogging impressions on steep terrain. Best for budget-conscious homesteaders weighing Bad Boy against established brands.
Posted by the Sin City Country Homestead channel, apparently a first-time tractor buyer documenting the purchase for a homestead audience, so expect a novice perspective rather than experienced operator analysis.
The owner priced the same implements through Kubota and it came back about $20,000 more than the Bad Boy 5055 package, and about $10,000 more for another comparison.
The lift capacity on the Bad Boy 5055 is 2,700 pounds, which the owner says puts the Kubota to shame.
On a really steep hill use gear A, on an easier hill B works, and on flat ground you could probably go to C, keeping RPMs around 2,000.
After about 4 hours the owner felt stable and did not feel unsafe, though he chickened out on one very steep spot where the tractor struggled.
