Watched this video now 2 times ! GOD DAM YOU WILL !!! The review you did on this SCAG SFC21.... ....I WANT ONE NOW ! Don't really need one for my little lawn area, not happy about the price but I want one. Leaning really hard toward getting a Scag over a Honda.
Hey mate, thanks for your call today it was awesome to talk to someone from the other side of the world who likes our vids and mower. i hope you enjoy using th new Scag 21inch
This wil be good for bigger lawns for sure. On a 4x4 meter manicured kind of lawn still would use a good 30 kilos mowers. You really need at least 2 mowers if you mow for a living
I wish we had a closer look at the clutch. I don't know what they are like compared to Honda's Commercial Roto-Stop blade clutch as those are known to go decades in residential use. The deck is similar in design to Honda's shape wise but it's nice to see the front is one uniform curve as my Honda has a baffle bolted in place there instead. I don't know how someone brakes driveshafts on lawn mowers for the drive system as I have never had that problem with any of the Hondas I have owned over the years. I'm not a big fan of belts for anything though and my Honda with its hydrostatic transmission (used in Canada and the US) doesn't have that surge but in Australia you have mosty gear boxes on your Hondas for some reason. Kohler's Command Pro engines are really good engines and I currently have four of them in my possession on a couple of Cub Cadets (12.5 hp horizontal shaft), a John Deere rider I was recently given (13 hp vertical shaft) and my Walker with a 23.5 hp V-Twin. The flail style blade systems you have in Australia are a good idea to a point, but lead me to think they can become projectiles much more easily than the rigid bar blade systems we use in North America.
Most commercial 21" are still running the Kawasaki FJ180 are they not? This has more or less been around since 2004 when it was introduced with the revamped JX75, later on the WE80/85 which came from Eastman, correct? Not saying anything Kohler is a bad engine, but there's definitely a more common engine out there for the commerical ones.
I’ve got the 30 and love it, I wouldn’t buy this simply because of the height adjustment, adjusting the wheels individually at the start and finish of each job adds up to a lot of wasted time at the end of the day….I never bought a toro for the same reason…
I'm considering buying this Scag 21 inch mower to replace my Honda HRC216. I know they make a 5 hp and 7 hp. Will the 5 hp cut it in most situations? Why would anyone need the 7 hp? If there are good enough reasons, I'll buy the 7 hp,
@@mowermerch I forgot to ask you this question. My front lawn is about 5,000 feet St. Augustine and has a slope of about 35 degrees at the front, going down to the sidewalk. My HRC was able to handle it, so I feel that the 5 hp will handle it, too. Do you think I should wait for the 7 hp? My Honda is still living its last breath, and I can wait until March when my dealer will offer Scag discounts, so price is "no object."
I really like the 5hp is lighter then the 7hp and i find the power to be more then enough, iv put the 5hp through some tough testing and iv never had it struggle. i think if you want to save some coin and have a mower thats a little lighter then go the 5hp its a great unit and will do everthing you need
Has anyone found a way to slow the speed down, so it's going slower when you have the throttle bar all the way to the handle? It goes fast, even on turtle speed.
It has a rear (side) discharge, price is on par with the other competitors commercial 21”s I only know in dollar and it’s around $1700 for the one in the video and $2k for the big block 220cc which I am definitely getting

Thanks for taking the time to make this video! Very informative and answers a lot of the questions I had!

Thank you Will. Great video, found it very informative.

I have one of those it’s a beast and actually leaves a clean cut…
How about a video on installing the swing back blade kit for dummies like me.....
This wil be good for bigger lawns for sure.

How does it do with hills? What are the wheels and tires made of?

The Kohler engine I find rev better and has more torque it would definitely be my choice of engine.
When does the 7hp 21 inch arrive in Australia
Late August at this stage

The 5Hp if what we have done all our testing with and is a great mower, the 5HP will completely out perform your Honda.

Turtle is the perfect pace for me. 5’ 11” male. 7hp 2024 year model.
@@davidodonnell4036 It's to fast for my property. I have to keep the lever hanging down.
What year is yours?
@@davidodonnell4036 24.
how much for the swingback and spacer kit?
RRP on our site is $149 AUS
No mention of discharge be it
Rear, side or bagging
There is a new Side discharge attachement, we didint have it at the time but its now available.
Is it only 1 wheel drive?
Both rear wheels drive
How much and has it a side discharge 👍🏴
It has a rear (side) discharge, price is on par with the other competitors commercial 21”s I only know in dollar and it’s around $1700 for the one in the video and $2k for the big block 220cc which I am definitely getting
side discharge is releasing later this summer according to Scag
Good mower. Where can i buy the blade kit?
www.mowermerch.com.au/collections/scag-sfc-21-parts/products/mowermerch-scag-sfc21-blade-disc-kit
Needs a proper side discharge not garbage rear discharge that creates windrows
It sounds like the 30" has a single lever for adjustment. But Damn, its $2700 USD
The 30 is a nice mower, but the 21 inch is the real game changer.
Do not like the blade go back to 1 blade
What makes you say this, context please
@@Williamrosemow mowers have one blade maybe two like Honda,
@@IBEW44Not here in Australia 90% swing back blades like we have here on the sfc21.
Don’t mock it until you try it trust me it’s a far better system
