I have had my Scag cheetah for 9 years my yard is 4.5 acres i live in the deep south with high humidity and grass grows quick so weekly cutting is a given to keep the yard looking it's best. I have replaced 2 spindles and 2 cutting belts so I have had relatively few problems with parts on the mower. I do not plan on replacing it any time soon. I would recommend the Scag line to anyone looking for a dependable quality lawn mower that will operate without problems for years. It was Well worth the investment. That was a Good video.

I have a Scag Patriot that I bought in 2020. Love it! It’s commercial grade and it’s overkill for homeowner use but it’s tough as nails, no issues with it and goes through taller grass with ease. Gives a nice even cut and makes the lawn look like a carpet. My lawn looks better than my surrounding neighbors who have theirs professionally mowed. Money well spent on this mower.

I recently bought a Scag Liberty Z 36" for homeowner use. I am impressed with the quality of the mower - it's built like a tank and is very solid. Great fit and finish, and like he said, they use a lot of thick metal parts. Nothing looks cheap or flimsy. The seat is very comfortable. I looked at some other brands and they looked kinda cheap by comparison. The control panel is also nice and looks good. All the controls are solid feeling.

I have a 2010 freedom Z. It says commercial but doesn't have tapered bearings on the spindles. Has chains for deck hanging so it is not as bulletproof as this mower. That being said I can tell you that even though it was obviously abused badly it has amazing signs of no wear or problems. Worth rebuilding in my opinion. Built to last.

I have a new Tuger Cat 2 for my 1/3 acre residential lawn. So far so good but its missing something very important. I've seen a rubber pad on some mowers on the top of the deck ehere you would step. This mower doesnt have it. And that deck is slippery.

What the heck am I doing wrong with this deck lever? I CANNOT get the deck to lock in the up position. It's as if there is no up position. I have to re-pin the deck to up, then re-pin it to mow, then re-pin it to put it on the trailer. The manual says ON PAGE 20, "(2.) Pull the cutter deck lift lever all the way backward UNTIL IT LOCKS IN PLACE." What is up???

As far as I know, Scag is the only mower to have taper roller bearings for the spindles. Other than Toro. Those bearings can last 10,000 hours. All my mowers were Toro. Just kind of gravitated there over the years. Survival of the fittest I guess.

That wiring is see through (UV radiation type C exposure) meaning extended exposure will compromise wire insulation…

@gojohnnygo6869 Жыл бұрын

That tubing for the wire is designed that way because it can breath and not condensate holding water inside. As for water proof, the wire insulation takes care of that. If the wire insulation sat in dampness for long periods from condensation or water entry from the open ends, it would dry out and fail prematurely. So considering this design also nicely holds, organizes and protects the wire from being damaged by the vibrating steel frame, I would say it's a great design.

I had three brand-new Scags and each of them had problems, my dealer and Scag turned a cold shoulder on me and left me hanging. it's not a good feeling at all when you drop 10K on a mower and the engine smokes and no one will return your calls or emails. If you're shopping for mowers take this video with a grain of salt and continue researching. I have plenty videos which describe my experience owning three new scags in one year. If Scag had better customer service I wouldn't be making these videos or posting these comments, but in this day and age with people doing their internet research, I don't want to see somebody else get burned and taken advantage of like I was.

@brandonlowrey4328 Жыл бұрын

Well unfortunately your one of the Very very few customers that feels that way ...shit happens and in your situation shit is happening like it's not supposed to but see the way the universe works is if you manifest something bad all the time then that's what you're going to get three mowers for mowers 10 mowers 11 mowers you still bought them one after another there's a reason for that because there's a million other mowers out there just because you have issues doesn't mean that it's the worst mower ever and they're also horrible there are a couple other brands out there that take their time but Scag is one of those that really really focuses on their deck and the way it cuts not all the little stupid s***and if all you do is manifest bad things about Scag and I worked for Scag seeing these posts that you post I probably would have a cold shoulder too cuz I could almost guarantee you're probably one of those people that call every single time something happens you probably miss one blade of grass and call and blame it on Scag

@morejelloplease Жыл бұрын

@@brandonlowrey4328 call it what you want, but after owning 4 new scags and having issues then yes, im' going to blame scag and the dealers. i bought scag because they gave a good military discount at the time. now, with inflation, i can't justify a $10k mower for 2 acres when i don't own a business, and especially if it leaks in 5 places like my tiger cat II with less than an hour on it. If you watch any of my other videos you'll quickly understand. want to know what i use now? a free briggs push mower, i also made a video on that. if i find a good deal on a decent cub cadet i'll buy one of those too, they never let me down, and when shit breaks, there's parts at home depot or easily available online. with a scag, they want you to purchase everything thru a dealer, you'll pay a premium and then you'll wait for parts because everything is on backorder. now you know why lawn services have about 4 different brands on their trailers. some guys report they own scags with no issues, that's great, and they are pre-covid machines more than likely. scag is selling units with harbor freight predator engines with their sticker on it and charging $500 more. as i always say, there's an ass for every seat, and i'm not going to be that ass any longer. good luck with your search.

This is just proof that scags quality has gone out the window. I've made several videos of my frustration with scag and I'll never touch another one.
