Said he got a good deal on it and is just trying to turn it to make a profit.

Don't know how familiar you are with them, but I'd take it for a good rip just to check the hydraulics. I'm always curious as to why people get rid of newer stuff, but if it runs clean without any issues it could be well worth it

Anyone ever had a bad boy ztr?

Yes. It's a beast, better than toro or john Deere from my experience. Can't say enough good things about that mower. 3 years old, never had a problem. I had never heard of it but was recommended to me by a mechanic servicing my Deere. Said literally no problems other than standard maintenance which is what I've seen. I cut and bag about 2 acres in 45 mins and don't run it that hard.

Alright so I have a Bad boy ztr. The blades stopped working yesterday and won't engage when I pull the switch. I have checked the safety switch under the seat, the deck belt, and the wiring from the engaging switch. All seem to be connected and in good condition, and ideas before I take it in to the shop?

Could that be the clicking that I hear when I try to engage the blades?

Sounds like it, see if you've got a ground hanging loose, or perhaps something on the harness is melted. It's a cheap easy fix once you find the problem, a harness shouldn't cost more than $15.

Do you have a multimeter?

If so, verify 12v to the clutch with the PTO switch on and engine running and with someone in the seat (or better yet override that switch and any others like the e-brake with a jumper wire to rule it out). If you don't have 12v, then look on youtube how to diagnose lawn mower switches and electric clutches with a multimeter.

I don't have one, but I need to just go ahead and buy one. So I will try that tomorrow. That's pretty much what I read on another forum, but I trust you guys more.
