2026 Bad Boy Mowers MZ Rambler Kawasaki FR651V 42 in

Made for the Long Haul

The MZ Rambler Zero-Turn Residential Mower may be our smallest riding mower, but it still cuts like a Bad Boy. It's built on the same heavy-duty steel frame as our ZT Elite and MZ Magnum models. It sports industry-leading 5/16” steel front forks. And unlike the flimsy, bolted steel decks you'll find on other mowers this size, the Bad Boy MZ Rambler has an all-new all-welded, all-steel deck that won't bend or wobble. Made from 3/16 inch or 7-gauge steel with reinforced edges and additional ¼” side plates, it's the heaviest deck you can get in this class.

Zero Turn for Smaller Lawns

Now you can own a legendary Bad Boy Zero-Turn Mower in a size that's perfect for homeowners. The MZ Rambler is our smallest Zero-Turn Mower and it has some big advantages. The 42” deck gives you optimal maneuverability. It's compact enough to fit through gates and tight spaces. Smaller rear wheels make it easy to weave between trees, around swing sets and along flowerbeds. Plus, Rambler's more economical engine options use less fuel, but still deliver the Bad Boy power you need. And you get it all at a price point you'll love.

Changing the Game

The Bad Boy MZ Rambler residential mower puts you in total control. The cushioned seat adjusts front to back so you can ride in comfort. Steering is tighter and smoother thanks to our steering dampening system, giving you better response and maneuverability. You can adjust your mowing height using the left- or right-side foot pedal, and then dial it in exactly where you want it with our Deck Dial. Plus, the Rambler Riding Mower comes with a flip-up floorboard, a first for its class. This convenient feature gives you easy access to serviceable parts and makes clean-up a snap. And the floorboard is covered with an all-new no-slip rubber mat.
