THE MOST HELPFUL tech video for me as a V Ride2 owner - THANKS SO MUCH.

[LUKE--zyun]

Awesome thanks for the intel. I just bought my first scag . A ride 2 52" 37 briggs EFI. Ive always used exmart or gravely for 25 years

I have commented before and I appreciate all of your help with adjusting these decks. One issue I’ve been running into, I will have three of the corners of the deck with matching measurements and one corner totally off and the chain with a ton of slack. What may I be doing wrong?

[kevinjohnson]

My mower (from the factory) does not allow me to lock my deck in the up position. Would you show us how to properly rig the uplock for the deck? Thanks so much

Thank u. I started using one of these .but this year the right is to low. When i cut. I think this should help. Is this for all models?. I have an older one .SVR36A-600FX*.But it does have those screw adjustments that ur doing

So 7.25” is the measurement you want for all 4 corners when the deck is set to 3”?

I have found a lot of decks are lower than the pin setting indicates.

Why are there not any anti scalp wheels on the rear? This is worst machine I have ever owned when it comes to cutting uneven lawns. Instantly scalps once the rear wheels hit a hole. Any suggestions on preventing this?

Does all this information and adjustments apply to the vride 1 as well?

[matthewharner]

I have watched this video countless times. I own a 52” and 61” v ride. I’ll have the entire deck PERFECT. Then I can’t get the deck up into transport position. Am I doing something wrong? Any help would really be appreciated!

I have a Scag Liberty Z model #SZL61H-24FR. How do I prevent blowout from the front? While mowing debris shoots out of the front and swirls up to the deck and on me. I’ve read about some type of “buffer” however my dealer had no idea what I was talking about when I asked about that. Is there a fix for this? Thanks

Which holes would i set my antiscalp rollers for 3inch cut as well as 3.5 inch

The link to the other video is not valid, do you have another link?

[brandonsmith]

Never said what its actually supposed to read. Is 7 and a quarter specs or what? Even wirh the deck lowered to whatever youre mowing at.

[davidrowland]

I thought you supposed to measure from the ground to the cutting blade tip

[ricknichol]

Why is my mower clumping up grass never had it clump grass so much before As you're cutting and you're putting a line in the grass it will clump up softball size of grass so I have to mow that line all over again

[chrisrieger]

Where can I get that orange polo style shirt the dealer is wearing

[charbonneau]

Thanks for the videos!
The Liberty Z I have is off level and the adjustments are made via 4 nuts: 2 front and 2 back.

The rear ones are impossible to reach with a ratchet or open wrench.

Any advice on how to reach the rear ones? Pg 25/26
