Territory Manager for Bad Boy, Aaron Fisher represented the company and presented the mower along with Sankey Auto to Coleman. Fisher stated Bad Boy conducts giveaways annually, but this year they wanted to give back to our veterans. 

This mower in particular is a one-of-a-kind, limited edition strictly for a veteran or active duty member in the US Military.

“We are known for our bright-orange mowers, but this one is very unique with the green and American theme about military was important to us for the winner,” Fisher said. 

The model Coleman won is the ZT-Elite, which is the upper-echelon of Bad Boy’s residential models. The mower consists of a reliable Kawasaki engine, front suspension and reaper turf tires.
