However the 5000 ZT is a stripped down version of the CZT 50. There is a choice of 2 different engines to power the 5000ZT, both of which have a power output of 27 hp. The first choice is a Kohler Courage engine. This engine has a displacement of 0.725 liters. It is prevented from overheating using an air cooling system and has 2 cylinders. The other choice is a Briggs and Stratton Professional Series engine that is also a twin cylinder model. This engine uses an air cooling also. Both engines are have a key start ignition system using a 12 volt battery. Both engines have a 16 amp alternator attached to them to recharge the 12 volt battery.

The fuel tank on the Bad Boy 5000ZT zero turn lawn mower has a very large capacity. It can hold up to 54.9 liters (14.5 US gallons) of gasoline to allow incredibly long operating times before it needs to be refilled. The 5000 ZT lawnmower uses a dual hydrostatic transmission system to transfer power from the engine to the rear wheels. The amount of power each wheel receives is determined by the dual lap bars in front the operator. The top speed on the lawn mower is 11.3 kph (7 mph).

The Bad Boy 5000ZT zero turn lawn mower has a mower deck with 3 blades housed inside it. The mower deck has a cutting width of 50 inches. Each of the three blades has a length of 16.5 inches.
