    Everyone in the industry knows you Stan and the way the Scag reps reacted was soooooo heavy handed. I’ve been “tired” and been in the middle of plenty of long “bad days” but I’ve never treated a customer, or potential customer the way treated you. You’re a trusted industry ambassador and they missed an opportunity to push that product with some humor and grace. I’ll get off my soapbox now.

      Or he could have been an adult taken control of his impulsiveness to do a wheelie on a $20,000 lawn mower that doesn’t belong to him. *Insert scag is a multimillion dollar corporation it doesn’t matter to them blah blah blah*. It’s an insurance liability for them and who the hell wants a 50 year old man acting like he’s 12 riding wheelies on every brands commercial lawn equipment? The logic these days is incredible

I sometimes accidentally have my wheels come up while mowing and its important to get a feel for them so youre not surprised how they handle when an accident does occur.

      I have meet some of the Spartan sales people when they came to Rolla missouri "dicky bubs" really great knowledgeable staff and really nice Spartan truck and trailer also. I run a lawn service in this town. I got to test drive them and they are so weel handled and balanced you feel like you are on a cloud. Plus there larger pulles save your belts much longer so less down time. Huge chute disperses the grass clippings vary evenly even if its wet. Hope to be able to buy one of there 54inch RZ HD next season since i got a new truck this year "baby steps." My scag 36 walk behind is what i use now.

      It’s not really a Scag issue, it’s a society issue. Everyone wants to sue for everything and safety is paramount for companies. I’m surprised any of them allow it. The higher up in the company you are the more like it it is your obligation to shut something like that down.

      If a mower can’t handle wheelies then it can’t handle cutting a bumpy lawn at full speed. The front casters would be spinning around like crazy on a bumpy lawn getting way more abuse.
      Wheelies are like a staple of every demo day or dealer open house. Wright’s always there though doing wheelies in there parking lot every 30 seconds so the other brands don’t want to look like bitches lol.
      Only mowers we don’t have fun with are Walkers since they can’t do anything fun lol.

It takes a little bit to get used to driving one after driving a normal tractor style, but once you've got it, you've got it. If you're cutting lines, you have to be careful spinning the mower around or the back tire will dig a bare spot. Just take it nice and slow during the turn and then it's back to full throttle across the yard!

    I don't think I'll need a new mower before I get out of the commercial grade mowing business, but if I should my anecdotal use with Scag has me extremely proud to own one and it will certainly factor into my new purchase.

As his grandchildren ran rampant alongside that old wooden rocker he sat upon, Grandpaw Willy would stand and voice those words with conviction.

    I wouldn't have a Scag on the property anymore. After about 500 hours on my cheetah started having electrical problems and it spent more time in the shop then mowing. We bought a exmark and after 1722 hours we have not even changed a bearing or hydro unit. I'm looking at a bobcat now to add to out business. They are very good. My father has a Altoz they are hands down the toughest mower I've ever ran. But they will break the bank. Awesome video thanks for sharing.

    Sorry, I'm so late seeing this, I was shopping for a Zero Turn several years ago and the Tiger made it to my list. Then the dealer stepped in and was just a plain Jerk to a customer in his store about service work being done. Scag came off the list, maybe for ever?

    Stan, you have to try the hustler trim star . I've had several over the past 14 years,my guys love them! They don't get you tired when you are running them. You don't have to squeeze the handles to turn. As a matter of fact,the lighter the grip you have the easier to operate. These are the best walk behind mowers there are.

    I'm not in the business myself but I will agree with others, the Scag bit by the reps was stupid. Here's the thing also: that may demonstrate a low confidence level of the sales reps in the equipment also! IMHO if I was looking at one of these mowers, I would WANT to know, what does it take to pop a wheelie in this thing so I understand the safety factor. Probably even more important if as an owner you have multiple crews running the same equipment. Everyone's pucker factor is different, but the guy plunking down the cash has the final verdict on that, right? :-)

    I don't know what the problem with the Scag guys were, if anything, they should ENCOURAGE people to do wheelies on their rigs.
    The way I see it? It shows durability, if that mower can do something it's not designed to do over and over and over again? That tells me they've got a quality frame, a quality deck, a quality deck support, and a quality engine.
    The Bob Cat guys KNEW their equipment was top notch, and they KNEW Stanley would put it through it's course, proving, once again, that Cat can make some of the roughest, toughest equipment.
    But that's just my take on things.

    I own one of the cub cadet machines (single rear wheel, same outer to outer tire width. . They are really nice. I do not know what more you could want as far as comfort. Seems to have a really shallow deck, and you have to move it up 1 - 1.5 inches more to achieve the cut you desire. I caution however, do not let it get you to comfortable on hillsides, because it will go just about on any hill. This is where over confidence can get you in trouble. I do not push those limits, but I do mow hills that my other zero turn should be able to do, but front casters can not hold the mower in place, so I used to go back and forth, loose the line and have to travel down entire slope and reset, but not with the cub cadet.
