All specifications on this page were taken directly from Bad Boy, the manufacturer. Figures from Bad Boy Renegade Diesel specs, checked November 2, 2026: Bad Boy Renegade Diesel specs. "Width (deck out)" is the OEM "Width (Chute Up / Chute Down)" figure given both ways.
A diesel under the seat
The Renegade Diesel comes one way: a 61-inch deck and a Perkins diesel. The engine's a 1.1L, or 1100 cc, three-cylinder, and it's liquid-cooled. It makes 24.7 hp and burns diesel from a 13-gallon tank. If the rest of your place runs on diesel, that's one fuel to keep around.
Drive is a Hydro-Gear 16cc pump with Parker 18ci wheel motors, and top speed is 13 mph. The deck's 1/4-inch, or 3-gauge, solid steel with reinforced 3/8-inch sides. It cuts from 2 to 6 inches, so tall grass isn't a problem. The 61-inch deck is the only size, so you've only got one width to measure for.
What to know before you buy
At 1,862 lb, it's a heavy mower. Check your trailer's rating before you count on it, and plan on a trailer with room to spare. With the chute up, it's 63.5 inches wide, and 75.5 with the chute down. It rides on 26x12-12 Reaper tires in back and 15x6-6 smooth no-flat tires up front.
It's set up for long hours. You get a 3-link rear trailing arm suspension, an independent front suspension and an adjustable suspension seat. That's the kind of ride you want when you're on it from morning to evening. Long days on a 61-inch deck add up, and the seat's what you'll notice most. Want a gas engine and a choice of decks? Look at the Renegade Gas.
Before you buy, check the 63.5-inch chute-up width against your narrowest gate. After you buy, keep the model number handy. The parts counter needs it to find the right filter or belt.
