๐ฅ NEW MOWER DAY at Meridian Implement! ๐ฅ
Congratulations to Mike from Rockford, Illinois on his brand new Bad Boy Magnum zero turn mower! ๐ช๐๐บ๐ธ
Mike recently took home a Bad Boy BMZ48FR651 Magnum, and we're excited to welcome him to the Bad Boy family.
When Mike isn't busy keeping his property looking great, you'll often find him hard at work in the kitchen at Salamone's Cherry Valley, where he helps prepare the delicious pizzas and authentic Italian dishes that have made Salamone's a local favorite for many years. Since opening in 1999, Salamone's has built a reputation for great food, friendly service, and strong family values. Founded by Benny and Rosalie Salamone, the restaurant has grown from a small carryout pizzeria into one of the area's most popular destinations for pizza, pasta, lunch, dinner, catering, and authentic Italian specialties.
Just like Meridian Implement, Salamone's is a family-oriented business built on hard work, quality, and taking care of customers. If you've never stopped in, Mike and the crew do a fantastic job. Whether you're looking for a great pizza, pasta dinner, or carryout for the family, it's definitely worth checking out!
Mike chose the Bad Boy Magnum BMZ48FR651, equipped with:
โ๏ธ 21.5HP Kawasaki engine
โ๏ธ 48" fabricated mower deck
โ๏ธ Smooth, responsive zero-turn maneuverability
โ๏ธ Heavy-duty Bad Boy durability and performance
The Bad Boy Magnum continues to be one of the most popular models in the Bad Boy lineup. Its proven Kawasaki powerplant, rugged fabricated steel deck, comfortable operator station, and durable construction make it an excellent choice for homeowners who want commercial-grade quality at an exceptional value. Whether mowing around the house, maintaining acreage, or tackling larger properties, the Magnum is built to deliver a beautiful cut while making mowing faster and more enjoyable.
We sincerely appreciate Mike choosing Meridian Implement for his new mower purchase. It's always a pleasure helping hardworking local folks find the right equipment for their needs, and we're honored Mike trusted us with his business.
Thank you again, Mike! We hope you enjoy your new Bad Boy Magnum and get many years of dependable service from it. Happy mowing! ๐ฑ๐
