Great mower..but I have had the blade cable mount break at the bend..fatigued metal...a week later, the blade cable broke inside the sheath.
Both incidents happened 2 weeks after purchase here in Tulsa....my mower distributer replaced both parts next day under warranty....But..dont mess with adjusting the blade cable. It's set from the factory.
Also, I was given the castor wheel kit because it was suppose to have been on the promotional unit.
I highly recommend installing the castor wheel kit...picking the unit up and turning the mower gets old..quick .
Scag has already been notified of the cable issues and bends in the cables...

Very great video. Happy to say we've addressed some of those cons and will continue to fine tune the SFC30 so we can get to that game changer level.

scag by far the best you can get .top of the line mowers been mowing with the same scag for 10 years n its still cutting like the day I got it . it's scag or

[tacomanick]

I just looked at new one today and Scag definitely didn’t reroute the cables that get pinched in the rear discharge chute. You still need to zip tie them out of the way.

I'd probably buy one just to cut our home yard. Our Gardenway 33 walk behind lasted 20 years. I just wish these commercial walk behinds didn't approach the price of a residential zero turn.

Had a lawn business for close to 30 years. Mostly commercial and very large residential estates. As far as 36" mowers, I started out with ex-marks...within 5-6 years, converted all to Scags. Scags are built for abuse, ex-marks are made from pop-cans...
I will add this, if you do buy the Scag, familiarize yourself with the location of the zirc fittings, and the proper greasing schedule.

Since the cut height works off one lever, are you able to add rake to the blade(s). While the Exmark takes extra time to change cut height, having the ability to put the front of the deck lower than the back, keeping front and back even or having the front higher than the back adds a lot of versatility to mowing different types of grass and wet or dry conditions.

When did this term Walk Behind start. Back in the day it was either Push Mower or Self Propelled.

This is an excellent video brother. I'd love to get one of these in my own hands just to see how they do for myself, as I know every yard and every business does things a little differently of course. But I feel like the price and its weight would really set me back for my needs but who knows it could surprise me. Great video again you touch some excellent points that I agree with 💪

Exmark 30 with kohler engine has a oil release hose too

[kevinmunson]

I've got one of these and the dang clutch went out in 25 hours and my dealer has about 5 others in the same hour range in for work. My dealer has had it for 2 weeks and they are having trouble getting parts!

Just bought one earlier today not disappointed yet only downside is that it’s a little heavy in the back

[sportsman]

I like that someone built a non-timed deck in this class. It seems heavy-duty. From what I see, I'll wait for Version 2.

1. It needs a separate variable speed lever that can be adjusted separately from the engagement lever.
2. The bagger attachment design seems like a deal breaker.
3. The controls seems not the best ergonomic design - the controls should be to the outside of the handles to expedite turnarounds.

The new kohler engine on the toro turf master hdx has a oil drain hose fyi 😅

Nice video plus I learned the meaning of the word "ergonomics":
Definition of ergonomics
1: an applied science concerned with designing and arranging things people use so that the people and things interact most efficiently and safely
— called also biotechnology,  human engineering,  human factors

Candid and honest review. Much appreciated! ::subscribed::

[markbauer]

I watched another video yesterday of a lawn guy using a timemaster bagging a backyard in wet conditions.He made a point of saying, with wet grass in bagger, mower weighs in at around 200 pounds and leaves ruts in damp lawns.I would imagine this scag sinking down to the deck, plus scalping in the process.The weight could be a deal breaker

[chadsponseller]

Height adjustment pin already bent bad. I’ve got to cut it to get it out. And have to already replace it. About $20 for part

[krowbar]

SKAG needs reverse and electric start, bigger wheels on rear.

[gustavomarin]

It’s basically like the exmark, if you wanna get something better just get the Ferris fw15
