I just bought a 61" Cheetah 2 with the 38HP EFI Kholer. Also bought a V Ride 2 52" with a 24hp Kawasaki. I have been running Exmarks for 12 years I am curious to see how these scags do.
@@stiehllandscaping9768 yes I didn't even know they offered the black out package until i went to pick mine up and it was one with the black out package. lol
My co workers and I were goofing off one day, while taking a smoke break on the job site. We had just got some Cheetah 2s for the 1st time, a month or two ago. I say to Darryl, "hey man, gimme your best wheelie." "Say less" he says. Next thing I know he PUNCHES IT full throttle from a standstill, the fucking mower went to a 75, 80° vertical angle, he panics, and stops accelerating, (the fucking thing almost fell backwards on top of him). SLAM, the mower's front end hits the ground hard, it needed a little fixing up a few weeks later. 😂 These things are a fucking blast to use, only problem is we gotta keep fixing em from all the times our chuckle fuck coworkers wanna take em for a joyride.
I have a tiger cat and I’m getting ready to trade it in and get this exact cheeta.I saw you say there isn’t a suspension seat. How is the suspension? Does your back take all the bumps or is it like riding on a cloud?
It’s opposite from a suspension seat I’ve learned. It absorbs all the big bumps but you notice all the little things. If you need a better ride you can buy a turf tiger or tiger cat suspension seat and it bolts right on. I may do that eventually
This was the machine I was requesting from my boss but we went with the Stihl RZ-900 instead. But this Cheetah II is a damn fine machine. Best of luck with it. 👍
@@rw458Yes it is. And my boss changed his mind. We are getting the Cheetah II with a 72 inch deck. I am happy with it. Test drove it today and can’t wait until next week when we pick it up.
I’m looking at buying a cheetah 2 61” with the 37 vanguard efi. It’s got 419 hours and they’re asking $8500. Probably 2-3 years old. That seem like a good price?
@@stiehllandscaping9768 The Kohler doesn't scare me, but it would be nice if they just did the treatment across the lineup and not limit it to one engine.
@@stiehllandscaping9768 same here. The 31s never bog down, but like Tim Taylor always said “more power!” haha. I like the idea of EFI too, over carburetors.
THE CHEETAH IS A GREAT INVESTMENT FOR SURE MORE TIME SAVED MORE YARDS AVAILABLE MORE MONEY THAT CAN BE MADE ALSO 1 YEAR LATER HOPE U GOT A ADVANCED SHOOT BY NOW LOL
Wider deck, more horsepower, faster ground speed , lighter, larger fuel capacity. This was a total upgrade from my tt. I do mostly residential. The tt was too heavy for me.
I’ve been looking at the C2, but have not tried. I gave the Deere 994r a whirl. That hydro was smooth as silk it seems. I’m a diy but man that was nice.

That is the cheetah with the blackout package right? They look slick!
All we run is scag just got a cheetah 2 with the 37 vanguard you’ll never go back…

Kohler is junk
Nice mower 😛. I like it 😌.
Kawa over Briggs any day of the week and twice on Sunday. Nice mower.

Didn’t know they made a 60”😂, kidding you! My son has 4- 72” Cheetah 2’s and love them. Just sold his 2-2019 72” Exmarks

@@stiehllandscaping9768 interesting. How does your back feel after mowing on it?
Great video we nothing but scag and I love them always wanted a cheetah 2
Scag for life for me 💪
@@stiehllandscaping9768. Heck yeah scag for life for me too

Interested to see how the Stihl treats you
@Prince Vultan Is it truly just a repainted ferris?
@@rw458Yes it is. And my boss changed his mind. We are getting the Cheetah II with a 72 inch deck.
I am happy with it. Test drove it today and can’t wait until next week when we pick it up.
i have the cheetah 1 with 1400 hours now. has the fx850 kawasaki. only problem so far has been oil leaks in the 5400 hydrogear pumps.
This is the exact scag I'm looking at getting rid of my Hustler for. Looking at a rear discharge possibly.
Loved you waxed it, always take care of your equipment.
Love the new mower
So how do you like it after having it acouple months?
Absolutely love kt
No 72 inch deck? Did you try Deere and Ferris?
Mostly residential. 72 would be too big
I love my cheetah ll with the 38.5 kawasaki it's an absolute beast..literally will cut anything with ease
Our lawn crew goes with toro I wish I had undercover money like the rich customers we mow and buy this mower and ask the boss if I can take it with us
Your Bungee makes me live Brother... Same Same...
SPEND THE EXTRA GET AN ADVANCED SHOOT IF U CAN AFFORD A SCAG U CAN AFFORD A ADVANCED SHOOT 😂😂😂

Yeah that sounds like a good deal.
Great video. Getting mine in March… looking forward to it. I too babe the v-Rode 2 52 and getting a 61 inch and looking at getting it done!!
Nice looking machine
Is that version of the seat adjustable, like the recline angle? I know the original design wasn't when the 2 came out.
Yes, this is the adjustable seat, I should've covered it in the video. I wish the seat was a little softer but besides that no complaints.
@@stiehllandscaping9768 Thanks for the reply. I'm seriously considering picking up that new blackout version.
@@user-fq3uh7bt1t Thosr look amazing but I don't want a kohler engine
@@stiehllandscaping9768 The Kohler doesn't scare me, but it would be nice if they just did the treatment across the lineup and not limit it to one engine.
@@user-fq3uh7bt1t I have a 29 kohler efi and its so incredibly weak idk how people use it. I have it as a backup. bought it used
Nice. Thinking about trading in our original cheetah’s with the 31hp kawis for cheetah 2’s with the 38.5 kawis.
I’d be interested to see the difference in fuel consumption
@@stiehllandscaping9768 same here. The 31s never bog down, but like Tim Taylor always said “more power!” haha. I like the idea of EFI too, over carburetors.
Were you located in ga nice mower enjoy it
I want one of these but damn they’re expensive
Look for sales
love my Cheetah bought to mow 5+ acers farm pasture since sold it has 22.8 hours 61 deck B&S 37 HP if anyone interested $12000
used four times like new had first two services 3 hr and 10
Nice
scag is by far da best. just don't buy scag 30 in sfc it's junk they got me on it bc I always use scag for years but that 30 is junk
Can I change it to 60
?
Can I change it because 30 is ugly
Should have bought a 72
THE CHEETAH IS A GREAT INVESTMENT FOR SURE MORE TIME SAVED MORE YARDS AVAILABLE MORE MONEY THAT CAN BE MADE ALSO 1 YEAR LATER HOPE U GOT A ADVANCED SHOOT BY NOW LOL
16 k$ tho
What did they give you on a trade in.
9k
Home owner’s special. The big commercial is way better
15k for a homeowners special. Wtf. U obviously have no idea what you're talking about
You do realize u downgraded right? TT is the top mower
Wider deck, more horsepower, faster ground speed , lighter, larger fuel capacity. This was a total upgrade from my tt. I do mostly residential. The tt was too heavy for me.
only diff is shaft driven correct? 2k price diff for shaft
THE SEAT SHOULD BE BLACK.........
You can't cut grass at 16 mph.
Yes, you can. I own one, and if you have a somewhat smooth lawn it will mow at 16. Just did it yesterday.
no
deere is smoother hydro
I’ve been looking at the C2, but have not tried. I gave the Deere 994r a whirl. That hydro was smooth as silk it seems. I’m a diy but man that was nice.
turf tiger has smooth hydro too but I prefer the torque of the cheetahs
What sizes could you purchase this machine Would love to know thank you for this video I hope you get back to me
61 and 72
Nope. The turf tiger 2 is the king.
Turf Tiger Diesel
NOPE CHEETAH 2
