All specifications on this page were taken directly from Bad Boy, the manufacturer. Figures from Bad Boy Renegade Gas specs, checked November 2, 2026: Bad Boy Renegade Gas specs. OEM page labels the tire row "Front Tires/Rear Tires" but lists 26x12-12 first; treated as rear/front like every other Bad Boy zero-turn page "Width (deck out)" is the OEM "Width (Chute Up / Chute Down)" figure given both ways.

Built around one engine

There's one engine on the Renegade Gas: the Rehlko ECH980 EFI, at 999 cc and 38.5 hp. You choose the deck, 61 or 72 inches, and the rest comes with it. That means a Hydro-Gear 16cc pump, Parker 18ci wheel motors and a top speed of 13 mph. With one engine, there's less to decide. Pick the deck that fits your trailer and your gates.

The deck's 1/4-inch, or 3-gauge, solid steel with reinforced 3/8-inch sides. It cuts from 2 to 6 inches. The 61 weighs 1,628 lb and the 72 weighs 1,693 lb. It rides on 26x12-12 Reaper tires in back and 15x6-6 smooth no-flat tires up front. With no-flat fronts, a thorn or a nail won't end your day.

Long days, big ground

This is a machine for mowing as a job. A crew running large lots, or a property with wide open acres, gets the most from a 72-inch deck at 13 mph. The 3-link rear trailing arm suspension and independent front suspension take the edge off rough ground. So does the adjustable suspension seat. If you cut the same big lots each week, the wider deck means fewer passes on each one.

Plan the trailer and the gates around it. With the chute up, the 61 is 63.5 inches wide and the 72 is 74.5. Chute down, they're 75.5 and 86.5. The tank holds 13 gallons. Running diesel in the rest of your equipment? Look at the Renegade Diesel.

The air filter is the part owners skip most. It's small, and it protects the engine. Check it often when the ground's dry and the dust is flying.

Questions people ask

What engine is in the Bad Boy Renegade Gas?

It's a Rehlko ECH980 EFI, a 999 cc engine rated at 38.5 hp. That's the one engine offered, on both the 61 and the 72-inch deck. It burns gasoline from a 13-gallon tank. If you'd rather run diesel, there's the Renegade Diesel.

How fast does a Bad Boy Renegade Gas go?

It's rated up to 13 mph forward. Power goes through a Hydro-Gear 16cc pump to Parker 18ci wheel motors. On a big, open property, that speed shortens the trip between cuts. Slow down where the ground's rough or you can't see well.

How wide is a 72-inch Bad Boy Renegade Gas?

With the deck out, it's 74.5 inches wide with the chute up and 86.5 with it down. The 61 measures 63.5 and 75.5. Measure the gates you'll pass through and your trailer before you choose, so you're not stuck at the fence.

How much does a Bad Boy Renegade Gas mower cost?

We keep current pricing on our live inventory page at j5tractors.com, where our Bryan, Conroe, Navasota, Normangee and Buna stores list the Bad Boy mowers they have.
