The EZ Elite is everything I was expecting after researching the mower. Have had no major problems with the mower. The only minor problem was the three bolts in the service plate would not stay in. Apparently the threads were reamed out at the factory. I purchased one size large self threading bolts, drilled out the holes and put new bolts in, problem solved. Mower seem to be running a little rich. However this could be due to motor not broke in good yet, If I had to purchase another mower now I would definitely buy the Bad Boy ZT Elite 60 inch again. Easy to set the correct deck height when setting up. Controls are at the finger tips. Rides smooth and cuts even. The Advance Chute works great to control chute discharge, pretty easy to install and operate. Not many leaves have fallen yet, but think it will work good when grinding the leaves.

Works, sturdy, detail could be much better
Shipping was quick and the unit is robust. I have some issues with function and absolutely atrocious directions. With the chute closed it leaves a line of grass where the gate is. It stops from throwing clippings everywhere, but I need to go over or rake. The directions are worse than any Ikea furniture I've assembled or Chinese parts. It lacks any assemble lines showing which parts connect to which pin or bolts. The reusing of 3 short bolts to attach the base plate which don't even protrude past the nut, slightly recessed. Why, built like a tank and you couldn't even supply 3 bolts that are fully 2-3 past the nut? With a price tag of a couple hundred dollars what's the deal here. Verbiage of the written instructions are just as lacking. I never did determine where the cam, #10 goes. Maybe that's why it dumps grass in a line as it does. Line art picture is useless it shows no detail. Fire the draftsman, find someone who can write instructions step by step and differentiate which models need which parts. Solid built like the mowers, but 10-15 install should not take 45 min.

Solid Build- Turrible Instructions
Like the thick gauge steel construction and how things go together relatively well but there is no readable diagram to show where parts should go. DO NOT use the link provided for 'additional' video instructions as it gave all kinds of issues to my PC. Not sure I would buy this again only time will tell. Pretty disappointed, actually.

This product works well. I thought I would like it but now that I’ve used it I love it.
