Engines and drive
The 54-inch Rogue runs the Kawasaki FX1000V at 35 hp. On the 61 and 72, you've got four choices. There's that same Kawasaki, plus an FX1000V EFI and a Rehlko ECV980 EFI, both rated 38.5 hp. The fourth is a Vanguard V-Twin EFI at 40 hp.
Instead of an integrated transaxle, the Rogue uses a Hydro-Gear 16cc pump feeding Parker 18ci wheel motors. Top speed is 13 mph. It's the same pump-and-motor setup the Renegade uses. The deck's 1/4-inch, or 3-gauge, solid steel with reinforced 3/8-inch sides. It cuts from 2 to 6 inches, which helps when the grass has gotten ahead of you. The 2-inch setting suits a tidy commercial lawn. The 6-inch setting is for the lot that got away from you in a wet spring.
A crew mower that rides
The Rogue is built to run all day. It's got a 3-link rear trailing arm suspension and an independent front suspension, plus an adjustable suspension seat. Over rough ground, that's what you'll notice by the afternoon. Thick grass, ruts and long hours are what this setup is meant for. It carries 13 gallons of fuel.
Weight runs 1,485 lb on the 54, 1,538 lb on the 61 and 1,595 lb on the 72. The rear tires are 26x12-12 Reapers, and the fronts are 15x6-6 smooth no-flat. With the chute up, it's 56.5, 63.5 or 74.5 inches wide. Chute down, it's 68.5, 75.5 or 86.5. Check your trailer and gates against those numbers.
Put the model number somewhere you'll find it. The parts counter needs it for blades, belts and filters, and the wrong part means another trip to the store.

Questions people ask
How high does the Bad Boy Rogue cut?
It cuts from 2 to 6 inches on all three deck sizes. That top setting helps when you're cutting tall grass on a lot that's gone a while between mows. The deck's 3-gauge solid steel with reinforced 3/8-inch sides.
What engines come on the Bad Boy Rogue 61-inch?
You can pick from four. There's the Kawasaki FX1000V at 35 hp, the Kawasaki FX1000V EFI at 38.5 hp, the Rehlko ECV980 EFI at 38.5 hp or the Vanguard V-Twin EFI at 40 hp. The 72 offers the same four.
What suspension does the Bad Boy Rogue have?
It's got a 3-link rear trailing arm suspension with an independent front suspension. An adjustable suspension seat sits on top. If you're on the mower most of the day, over ruts and rough ground, you'll be glad of all three by quitting time.
