Bad Boy Mowers has released a brand new zero-turn mower. It's one of the best zero-turn mowers that cost under $6,000 in 2023.
The Revolt SD is a residential version of the very popular Bad Boy Revolt. Finally, homeowners and commercial users have a stand-on mower that's more affordable and highly reliable.
Here is the information you need about this fantastic new offering from Bad Boy. We will go in-depth and cover all the specifications and features that come with this best-in-class mower and what you should expect to pay for one!
Mowing Deck
The Revolt SD by Bad Boy comes in two deck sizes, a 34" and 42" cut. Both decks use two blades as they are under 48". The mower also comes with PEER maintenance-free spindles. And you will only need to replace two blades when the time comes.
The deck is fabricated and fully reinforced heavy-duty 7-gauge steel. It comes coated in Bad Boy signature tough orange paint.
Cut Control
- Cut height variability on this mower is 2" to 5."
- It uses a pin + hand lever system to raise and lower the mowing deck.
- Operators will appreciate the overall design of the hand lever.
- It has a top lock, which is nice because it makes using the pin adjustment system much more manageable.
- The heavy-duty rubber bolt-on chute on the Revolt SD is a great feature.
The deck also features Bad Boy's patented dual deck support isolators and deck wear pads. This design helps to reduce the damage from side impacts and increases the longevity of the mowing deck.
Features
The Revolt SD is compact, simple, heavy-duty, and affordable for homeowners. The SD doesn't come with a lot of features. The SD's design helps the SD's affordability.
However, don't worry; it has almost everything an operator would want on a high-quality mower.
These essential features include:
- Bad Boy's patented suspension platform provides a smooth ride for a residential zero-turn.
- The suspension system is simple and powerful. It achieves this by using just a couple of rubber dampers with a suspension shock in between.
- The platform folds up for easy storage and transport.
- Operators will also appreciate the gripping surface that gives improved stability.
- The cushion pad is lighter than the one on the commercial Revolt, but it still feels very well made and has plenty of padded support.
Bad Boy Quality
The build quality on the Revolt SD is what professionals have come to expect from Bad Boy. An inset front rail that's reinforced plus 7-gauge steel front forks makes it so.
A steel tube frame is very sturdy for a residential mower. The Bad Boy engraved engine guard on the front lets your neighbors know you are serious about lawn care.
Controls
The control panel is simple and easy to use. The hand steering system is excellent because you can shorten or extend the distance between the front and back grab bars. These adjustments make it easy to dial in a comfortable ride.
A cup holder is on the operator's right-hand side. It is like the ones found on bicycles. While it is a nice feature, it also requires a specific type of bottle to fit in. At least, you know it shouldn't shake loose.
Components
The components that come on the Revolt SD are considered high-end residential components. The superior components begin with the engine. It is the Kawasaki FS600, which is 603cc and 18.5hp.

Service
The accessibility to all the major components is excellent.
- The engine can be easily reached and serviced.
- The cushion flips up friendly and quickly, exposing the transaxles reservoirs, the fuel tank, and the battery.
- An opportunity for improvement is the size of the battery as well as the placement of the fuel gauge.
- Accessibility is even improved with the installation of a small panel right above the suspension platform. The improved accessibility allows access to the transaxles by unthreading two thumb screws.

The dimensions show the Revolt SD's compact strengths. Operators can tuck the Revolt SD in many sheds or locations.
