Bought a ZT 60" with a Kohler in 2013, have 85 hours on it. I mow about 3 1/2 acres. Very good residential mower.
Older models did have transaxle pump cover leakage problems. A new seal and sometimes a new cover fixed that.
Newer models have went to one fuel tank and some plastic stuff that gets in the way of servicing the machine. Newer models have a rubber dust cover over the front wheel casters that get knocked off pretty easily. I put a long zip tie around mine.
None of the Bad Boys have grease fittings on the deck spindles. That is a draw back to their mower line. I took my spindles apart and installed grease fittings. It took about 45 minutes per spindle but well worth the time to save bearings.
The only trouble I have had was a broken mount bolt on the right transaxle. I do not know what I did to break it. I replaced it and checked all the other bolts. Have not had a problem since.
You did not say which model Bad Boy you are looking at. I would not buy a MZ model if you yard is very rough. They have a short wheel base and small tires.

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
