This is my first full mowing season on a v- ride ii 52 inch 25hp Kohler -i’ve been getting paid to cut grass for over 30 years. This is the most Fanfkntastic mower I’ve ever used in my life. The agility and visibility are outstanding.
Yes sir! I love my Scag!
Is it the only stander you ever had or used ?
@@E.L.C. yes, only stander I’ve ever used-and I still stand by my statement -I have a 2022 turf tiger II and I let my main guy use it-I find standing and mowing more enjoyable for some reason-I knew I made the right decision when I saw some other landscapers at the lunch spot that had v-rides and 1 wright stander on the trailer-they said they hated the wright and called it the “wrong” 😂
Love the video, only thing I can suggest for the slopes is to flip the platform up and use the mower like a “walk behind” mower. I’ve found it will hold the hills better that way
you will love the 32 V ride mine is 36 and still gets through 90% of the gates and tight spaces.
got it in 2010 and it still is a beast HELL YEAH
Good to know! Thanks!
Mann great review i had a scag vride 2. My first ever mower 48in deck and i loved that thing Back in 2022 im located in SWFL when hurricane ian hit and my scag was trashed. Underwater so i har to trash it.
Recently iv been in the market and was looking at the wright stander or stay with vride. Watching this video convinced me to go ahead and get another vride but this time a 52. Having issues with slopes i dont think i ever had a problem. Overall great video my guy
Very informative and well put together video, i also like how you don't have one of those loud obnoxious, trying to hard, kind of voices, you're just chillin giving solid info, and also appreciate you dont have that distracting unnecessary background music that alot of these content creator seem to love. A+ my friend
Ayeeeee!!!! Thanks for the feedback Mike! I will definitely keep your comments in mind. I appreciate that!
Hey Jay, Love the videos. I'm not in the lawn care business, but I mow several acres of grass. I mow a property with a slope like the one in the video. I've used 3 mowers on it over the years, all zero turn riders. 1st was a 48" Husqvarna, 2nd was a 52" John Deere, 3rd mower is a 60" Bad Boy. " Absolutely love this mower by the way." Anyways I've had good luck letting air out of the rear tires when I mow it. I just use a cheap 12 volt compressor to air the tires up when I'm done. Don't know if it will help on a stand up mower, but you never know. Take care.
Thanks for the tip Sam!
Picked up a vride 32 earlier this year, it fits in 99% of my backyards. Built like a tank! If you can find one get it. You won’t be disappointed.
Hell yeah! Looking forward to it!
Bro I love my scag!!!! Old as hell 36” walk behind but cuts like a champ! Great video
Thank you!
Great review! We really appreciate your business and wish you all the best this mowing season!
Thanks for making such a great product, and thank you for checking out the review. #TeamScag
You guys need 2 fuel tanks on the V-ride. And for gods sakes no more cup holders in the fuel tanks! Put a dedicated cup holder somewhere that can actually hold a large bottle of water without falling out!
@@Po_Buoy_Fresh Two fuel tanks is an awesome idea! Lol @ "no more cup holders"
Thanks, for you honest Review, I Have a, Gravley zero (5 years) very little trouble, as i age , I realize a stand up , would be better for me, I rarely do big jobs
I need to be able to get in smaller gates, thanks again👍
Thanks for watching Thomas!
You've pretty much helped me make my decision. I already have a Gravely ZT XL 52. So I wanted to try a different brand. I like the Gravely 36 pro stance but they're just.....long.....i wanted something a little more compact. The Wright stander is very compact but the closest dealer is an hour and 10 minutes away or more. Plus I've heard about the Scag cutting decks and they just look nice. Also I'm trying to get the hell away from push mowing TOO!!! GOOD GOD!
Can't go wrong with a Scag. Good Luck!
Excellent review thanks for sharing. Im torn between ExMark Turf Tracer and the SCAG walk behind (or stand ons)
I must agree the quality of the cut is the best; nothing else matters but having a sturdy piece of equipment that doesnt stay in the shop.
I'm concerned with the hydro turn vs the belt turn though. Once that hydro stuff shits it's pamper I think its over for that mower.
Regular service should do the trick.
Video was great, thank you, convinced me to go get the V Ride 32”
Good luck Sean! #TeamScag
Hey Jay thanks for the review I'm in the same boat you where in I have a Exmark 52" with a Exmark engine and the power is mediocre so I am going to demo the Scag V Ride next week your review is really helpful thanks.
Happy to be of service!
I run two turf tigers 52”. I want to updgrade my 22” pushers with vride 32”. I’ve have had walk behinds, 36 and 27, 36 hydro was awesome but didn’t fit thru some standard gates. 32 I think is perfect for metro residentials and less fatigue on bigger jobs if needed.
Thanks for sharing, keep them sharp!

After using a 32" Scag for a season, the wheels are a bit too narrow for me. Those narrow tires leave ruts way easier than my 52".
@@JaysLawnService thanks for replying!
🍻
"If your cut quality sucks it's still a piece of shit"...🤣 Nailed it.
Gotta tell it like it is bro! lol
@@JaysLawnService just bought a 52" v ride 2 and have the hd green guard chute on the way! Super excited for this year's opportunity to mow more efficiently.
@@JH-un1vt Let's go!!!!!!!!
This is a well detailed review thats really spot on! Great content. My buddy let me borrow his scag identical to yours and i couldnt believe it. Look at my mower on some of my videos. Its no comparison. I love Husqvarna but this was a gamechanger. I cant decide what stand on mower to get. I prefer husqvarna/redmax but all the reviews say the controls suck on it and the cut deck sucks compared to a scag. The volocety deck is awesome. Also other companies like scag, toro/exmark have way way better add on accessories like baggers and such. The scag even has a double bagger for yours! Other companies have those fancy triangular shaped baggers that can dump while seated! Im not sure what a husqvarna could have besides a standard triple bagger.
scag vride is a good unit. im more of a ferris man but wouldnt hesitate buying one
I've never demoed one, but from what I gather Ferris is up there as far as value goes.
I bought a 2020 32 inch scag vride2 last year, it is an awesome little mower, don’t hesitate to buy one. The only cons I have found are the small tires and smaller deck to stand on, but I can take it through any gate I have. When I’m ready to upgrade from my 2018 gravely pro stance I’m definitely getting another scag, this coming from a gravely fanboy. I’d put my old 2 wheel gravely c8 against any small brush cutter out there, but the pro stance really lacks where it should excel. Nice review bud!
Thanks for the info! I will definitely put it to use.
Man I will get one of these it's my goal I remember last summer I was with a company and they had 3 😢 and now I'm on my own I loved riding this mower it was awesome I did do a 20 ancer job on it back then to and ya it will get to you dut you'll get used to it.. but ya it's my goal this summer of 2024 to get one for my company 😁
Very good mate down to earth video
LOL thanks!
This is the best review I’ve seen
Scag is a solid brand. One of these days I'll be getting a TigerCat 2, but right now I still love the hydraulic lift on my old Gravely 60 tooo much 😂 Maybe when and if I choose to go beyond solo and want to pick up a second large mower.
Hey Kodiak! Thanks for watching. How do you like the cut quality of your Gravely?
I give the V Ride II a Thumbs Up 👍 😊, Keep up the good work man
Great review, I'm getting a 32 this week
Thanks, and congrats!
I’m 18 and I got one today starting my own business
@@ajbrewer8259 put X blade kit on today
@@ajbrewer8259 Go get 'em!
Still love my 32" but now I want a 52" too
I was wondering how these do for us heavier folks, I watched a young kids review a few tractors, but I probably weigh 2 of him.
good review.
Thanks Uncle Doogan! I appreciate that bro!
Nice job man...earned you a new sub...
Thanks man! I appreciate it!
I use nothing but Scag VRide lol. I noticed you mentioned the side to side slopes and it wants to slide to the bottom. You have to start your slopes at the bottom and work up and slow your speed down. I've had mine on some knarly slopes and it held very well. Good video and definitely get that 32 you won't be sorry
Great tip! I'll try it out this week. Thanks!
I’m looking to buy one by next year. I’m narrowing it down to Wright ZK, exmark staris, or the scag v ride 2
Can't go wrong with those
V ride 2 is a Cadillac
@@Jimw82 Got that right!
I'm looking into trying a demo of the v ride this year possibly
You'll love it!
Don’t demo it, just buy it. It’s amazing period
@@gustavomarin6535 Right?
Best review I’ve seen. Cheers
Thank you! cheers!
We use stubby tires on a few standups so you have more grip on hills
I ended up getting the 32" vride 2. Those tires are narrow and don't disperse the weight of the operator and machine very well. Leaves ruts.
It's the grass cutting man who moonlights as a deep voice radio disc jockey.
"You're tuned into The Late Night Thunderstorm..." Hahaha!!! Thanks for watching!
Going to vride2 stand on mowers has saved my back, I will never go back to sitting!!!
I agree 100%! Since switching to stand up, I have had zero back issues.
Nice Review! I want one of these mowers bad.
Thanks man! You won't regret it!
250 lbs with the 32" small tires might be a problem. That's why I'm considering the 36"
Let me know how it goes.
Great videos brother
Awesome freaking review. I don't know why you don't have more subs. Very informative and hilarious at the same time. One question, what is that mount you have to hold that 5 gallon bucket on?
Hey Countryside! Thanks for the compliment! I really appreciate that. I put a lot of time and effort into these videos, so it means everything to me when someone like you finds value in them. Yeah, I don't have many subs yet, but I'm working on it. I'll get there. I just set the 5 gallon bucket on the spindle guard and zip tied it to the closest points. Thanks for watching!
@@JaysLawnService I'll see what I can do to help with that sub count. In the meantime, keep putting these videos out and stay consistent. UA-cam is all about consistency and entertaining content. 💪💪
@@CountrysideStrong thanks for the help and the tips. How often do you think I should be uploading content?
@@JaysLawnService min 3 days a week if you can. Try to schedule them for the same time every time you upload. This time of year mine are random but during the mowing season I try to stick to a set time for uploads
@@CountrysideStrong pure gold! Thank you so much!
Excellent review video 💪
Thank you sir!
Awesome video. How many hours did you have on the freedom z before you started having issues? I have a 48 and have been using it on some really big properties. So far I love the freedom z and it cuts great but I am nervous about how long it will withstand the abuse.
Not many. It was at about 300 hrs when it went up in flames. Just be prepared.
great video.. think of get one , first time i hear about this make . im new to the business, my 1st season. however right now im pushing a mower with front wheel drive. killing me , but i knew i had to start somewhere. right now im bagging the cut grass . i notice your just cutting . im doing residential home , 32 inch deck would serve me right . what do you do with the cut grass ? . and where can i see this machine .? most importantly whats the cost ?
thanks brother. best of luck
I use it. It's ok. The damn deck is heavy as crap when you power it. And raising it. Bogs down in thick grass.
Do you have a recommendation for a better mower?
@@JaysLawnService this was the first stand up mower brand that my employer purchased, so I can't recommend another brand. But this mower, I'm no fan of. Again, the arm that lifts the deck is ridiculous. You know what I'm talking about.
@@foundingfodder8225 I don't mind it, but I hear you bro
I love my SCAG VRIDE cut on level ground but hate it on uneven ground with dips because it will scalp with the deck edge in a heart beat once it leans to the side because unlike a sit down the deck has no give because the deck is so heavy and there is not a float pedal like the sit down zero turn.
What is a float pedal?
@@JaysLawnService on a sit down Zero turn there is a foot pedal that assist in raising the deck when you want to pull the deck level up to the lock position. when you come to a high spot you can press the pedal down and raise the deck up to keep from scalping. Have you ever had this problem? maybe it's just me but my sit down don't scalp as easily on dips
@@Mr.BodyByFisher ok, yeah I know what you're talking about. I have had this problem, but never thought about raising the deck to compensate. Great tip! Thank you sir!
Love this machine, can do some fun wheelies
Definitely!
Thank you brother!
Than you for watching!
good video
Bruh yeh they awesome. Just don’t get the kholer engine 🤦♂️
Really? Why is that?
Gs! Good vid thank you…
I keep a small fire extinguisher.
I keep a couple handy now.
“A fast, fancy, expensive piece of shit”😂😂😂
😂😂😂
It's a versatile lawn mower and does great on incline slopes that are not too steep oh my God are they unreliable
Thanks for watching
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???
Not sure, but it sounds like the button to release the deck is stuck in a depressed state.
What about reliability of the V Ride 2 ?
Only SCAG !! Best Mover forever 👍🏻
#scagnation
Would you say if I buy a 2019 scag vride 2 with 103 hours for $5500 used it’s a great deal?
How big is the deck?
Thanks Jay Great Stuff I Appreciate you i’m a retired Disabled Veterans I’m new at this and I’m having a good all-time I got three Cemeteries two nursing homes and one funeral home just enough for me keep extra toy money coming in… Thanks TurfTigerTommy
Glad to be of service. Good luck!
What’s a good hourly rate ,and minimum I only do commercial properties my next move will be the vride2 36” and a scagg stand on windstorm blower
@@ThomasFurino777 every company will have a different hourly rate because every company has different expenses.
I want to get the 32 but I’m afraid of the ruts it might leave in the wet yards. Thoughts?
Use a different pattern when you mow and you should be fine.
@@JaysLawnService thanks. I got one. my deck cutter belt snapped after just 2.0 hours. they said I have to wait a week for the belt. Im so disappointed so far
@@reedallidap7173 Sorry to hear that. My belt didn't break until well after 300 hours. Keep me updated.
Still using v-ride?
Yes. I am going to do a video on the 32" soon.
How's it on hills?
Not bad, as long as the grass is dry.
Cant go wrong with scag
Agree 100%
how many pounds can the foot platform hold?
good question
Don’t try the Big Block you will be hooked
lol!
I bet you blow your mowers off now after each use like recommended
Lol! I did at first
Great review. i have the 52" also and have right at 1200 hrs now. 100% agree with everything here. might want to add one con is that with the engine being further forward and not over the rear axle you can get stuck easier. If its wet and Im parked on a hill it slides going up my trailer gate. Had and issue with the Kawasaki 23.5 and am currently waiting on a warranty replacement.
Good stuff Ziggy. Thanks!
