Nice machine man, I run the Spartan King Of Grass but I think the Scag is a beast as well!

I have the windstorm just got it last spring I was going 2 get the vide 2 but it was 2022 and there wasn't one to be had anywhere in NH so ended up with a gravley prostance 60 its a great mower only really underpowered with a 18 hp. Demoing the 2023 vide next week finally some availability here also testing the cub cadet heard really good things curious 2 see witch way I go..I know what u mean about the front tires same on the windstorm gonna switch them out for air

Fantastic review, you've kept you machine looking like new, thanks for your time and effort. I'm in the market for a stander and have looked at the Scag, Ferris and Bad Boy. I have an acre and a half at my home and want to buy a quality machine that will outlast me. The reputation on the Scag, cut quality and the seperate pumps and wheel motors has me leaning that way. The only thing I didn't like was the stand on platform. It felt like the platform had my toes pointing at the ground, in other words it wasn't flat like the Ferris or Bad Boy. I'm 6'2" and 280 lbs. and was wondering how a lighter person could handle the platform position canting so far forward. Did changing the elastomer suspension pucks out make the platform flatter? If so what brand did you replace the OEM ones with? I noticed at the dealer that the suspension pucks under the platform were further forward than the location of yours in the video, perhaps that alone would make a difference? Thanks for your response in advance.

Great video love the scag vrides we have three of them at my work

Good job on this video..I am considering the 32" Scag or 32" Exmark. I need to get into small gate yards. Both about same price the Scag is a little cheaper. Leaning towards the Scag but it has a 2 yr warranty the other they say is 4 yrs.

Great Video ~ Perfect Content
Videos like this help me decide
Picked up the 24 SCAG XL 52 w 40hp Vanguard ~OMG Beast Mode
How's the ride with Tweels compared to OEM inflated tire ?

All I run is scag . I’m from south Louisiana . Down here scag is the king of mowers . You won’t be sorry you bought one . I’m running a 2013 turf tiger with a kohler and it has never let me down . I also have a 2020 scag patriot with a kohler . I’m just not a fan of a VRide, standing up all day with my back wouldn’t help me . But great vid .

Did you close off part of the discharge opening? Does it effect grass disbursement when you have the chute blocker flap open?

[chadpersing]

You mentioned bagging..do you have the 2 bag system for the V ride?

[evricdavis]

Where did you purchase your elastomer springs …good review btw

[yahirmarcos]

[shanepipkin]

[stevecrossland]

Try the stand on Grasshopper S026 mower. Adjustable console and pad.

Glad you mentioned the fuel tank. I’ve been asking scag for a few years now to put a larger tank on these. They say the same thing “we will pass this along”. Like just do it. 10 gallons minimum. I don’t own a vride. I would of bought multiple units by now had they put a larger tank on them.
