[@bigsonslawncare]

Man Josh can't believe its at 50 that quick!!!!!!!!! Wow! interesting about the front casters and we know you gave the QuickTrac a fair chance . Wash n Wax yes sir💯💪🏾 That Tiger Eye is sweet! And ain't nothing wrong with Old School if you ask me!🙃🤣👍🏾

[@joshslawnlandscape9935]

Racking up the hours for sure 😎. QuikTrak def got it's share of chances....lol 🤪. The wash-n-wax gets it done ✅👍💯. Def like the Tiger Eye 👍. Gonna stick with what has worked for me on maintenance 💪....have always been a little more than the manual states, even with the Deere 👊.

I’ve looked at those V-rides and I’d probably get one if I had a dealer nearby. I had a turf tiger and I loved it. Great review

[@joshslawnlandscape9935]

I like it so far...wish maybe I had gotten some more.hp but it gets it done 👍. I looked into a Wright ZK but wasn't the best support around here yet, the dealer are kinda new so .. Thanks for watching 👊💯. Stay safe out there💪😎✅.

I have run 12" wide tires on factory rims for 4 years now. I didn't notice any unusual tire wear issues either. Less $$ to upgrade to 12" tires.

👍👊...Thanks for the insight😎.

50hrs that quick! wow man u doing alot of work.. nice review! what do u think about the blade changing?

[@rannorris79]

DLT had a great video on how to change the blades a little easier. If you drop the deck all the way down loosen the nuts on top then pick it back up and jack it up a bit makes it a little easier.
I know you have the top nuts welded on the turf tiger, is it easier taking the off from the bottom?

[@rayrayslawnlandscape2008]

@@rannorris79 Oh, yeah, it's just like every other mower I got now.
It's hard to believe that you have to go through all of that just to change the blades.

[@joshslawnlandscape9935]

Racking up those hours fo sho 🤪💪. The blades aren't bad to change IMO. Only thing that's a tad aggravating is having to remove the middle guard to do the center blade, but that's a small thing. Everything on the machine overall is very accessible. Thanks for watching brother 💪👊😎

Thank you for mentioning the front caster wheels! I have this same mower (vride 52) and a John Deere 960 m and I have said that the front caster wheels on the Scag are terrible. They are too flat and catch on cracks and crevices on a property. Also, I would recommend getting tweels for the Scag. I had so many issues holding hills with the 9.5 inch wide rear tires. Once I put the tweels on the machine it acted completely different on hills. I don’t slide hardly at all and I even think the mower will hold better than the John Deere 960m. The tweels are expensive but are worth it for the grip and lack of flats.

[@joshslawnlandscape9935]

Sorry for the slow response...🤦‍♂️. Yea, I just dont like the caster wheels at all, doesn't matter what speed you are going if there is a ridge in the grass. I may look into the tweels when the original rear tires wear out. They are doing well on my properties so far. Thanks for watching!! 💪👊👍

[@kristinejackson8268]

You should run that mower until it quits. Then you need to buy one with all the things this one did not have.

[@joshslawnlandscape9935]

I hope it doesn't quit too soon though 😂🤪. But knowing my luck this year...lol🤷🤣

[@rannorris79]

I know you cutting crazy thick nasty stuff like me
Has it had plenty of power?

[@joshslawnlandscape9935]

That good ole Bahia is in full force for sure man, ...def makes the bi-weekly yards a lot of fun🤪. It does the job but there are some cases where a little more HP would be nice but still God for this sized mower. I would def like to see one of these with an FX921 Kawi on it. Mainly because I am still not big on the Vanguard engines🤷

[@cleangreenlawnservicellc2630]

My 61 inch deck is hard to lift......new Super Z is so easy to lift....

[@joshslawnlandscape9935]

The deck is def heavy and needs more spring assist

[@rayrayslawnlandscape2008]

my 52 scag s harder to lift than 60" exmarks
