How It's Made: Scag Spindles

Toughest, Best Built Spindle. Period.

Cutter blade drive spindles are a crucial component to mower performance. The average blade spindle rotates over 1.8 MILLION times in eight hours of cutting. That's 9 million times per week! Can you afford to have anything but the BEST blade drive spindles turning your cutter blades? Absolutely not!

At Scag Power Equipment we recently invested in a new robot to help automate the spindle building process. The new robot will help improve quality, productivity and allow us to reallocate labor resources to other places of need in the factory.

Keep content coming in 2019. I know some of the factory stuff can't be filmed, but Scag could really benefit from having an approachable team, and a brand presence among the lawn care community. You guys put out a great product, and now the brand just needs a fresh face! I rock a V-Ride2 myself

Awesome video. Great to see how those are made. Automation is very mesmerizing to watch.

Today I purchased a brand new scag from my dealer. When I got home I noticed the spindles were all rusted. Is this normal?

I bought a Scag Vride 48" in 2016. Then I saw Ed Wright's presence on You Tube and thought how cool is that to see a face with the brand. So i was in the market for another mower and although I was perfectly happy with my Vride, I went and bought a smaller stander but remembered Ed I bought a Wright stander. Both great mowers but seeing Ed's face with the name made a huge impact on where i was going to buy my next commercial mower.

Wonder if this is why we’ve been experiencing problems, bought a TC2 last year all the spindles had to be replaced and now all are leaking grease from the bottom seal (650hrs on the machine). Scag still hasn’t reimbursed my dealer for replacing the spindles himself since they wouldn’t cover it at the time. This year bought a Cheetah and at 65 hrs grease is already coming from the bottom seal. Honestly just want my money back for Cheetah, paid for the “best” but didn’t get it.
