I’m sure you figured it out by now but when you do the bulletins and high spots, you want to set it at 3 1/2 that way there won’t scalp I did the same thing got the same exact mower. The thing is awesome.
I have a Worldlawn 32” stand on and I’ll tell you: I would trust my push mower height before I trust those measurements on my stand on. I’ve had to mess with the spacers and tire pressure to nail down the cutting heights. Hope you’ve been able to figure it out since you made the video.
You did great , you should start your first pass higher to avoid scalping and the most Important thing on the list , the tell your friend to buy his own blower so you can borrow his for your daughter
You gotta set the deck height as its doesn't come from the factory at the correct measurements. Just put it at the heigh you want to adjust (3) then get under the deck with a tape measure and measure the blade distance to the ground. Adjust the bolts on the chain until it is true to the number and you're good to go. They recommend it to be slightly lower in the front than the back. Just refer to the manual. I have a 52" V ride 2 with the velocity deck and it is the best mower I've ever run.
@@reedallidap7173 I got at zzriders in San Antonio Texas it works great I will upload more video and info on my channel JAZ LAWN CARE or I can reply with model number
I Agree! Who makes a good 32" walk behind? I used to have a belt drive 36" Ex Mark and wish i had never sold it !! The only belt drive I can find now is a SCAG but don't like the pistol grip controls.
Just bought my v ride 32 yesterday man I love it I have 2 other Ferris zeroturns a 34 and 61 in deck I just had issue with gates and this mower is a game changer fast easy to control I just don’t like the height adjustment bar outside of that I’m glad I made this choice over buying a toro 30 inch wall behind going to be getting rid of my Ferris 34 in z turn need another scag b ride I’m hooked
The bigger the blades, the taller you will have to mow. Smaller mowers will ride over the unevenness of the lawn, but bigger mowers will just scalp all the bumps. You will have to pay a lot more attention to how flat the lawns are with that thing. If you are mowing a lawn on a newly constructed home, you need to be very careful. New homes have absolutely horrible lawn out where I live in Texas. There were dips in our lawn that you could have easily broken an ankle in.
Front tires were lifting off the ground even when slowly and gently turning around on a flat yard. I'm 6'5" and 225 lbs. I think I'd have a tough time keeping the front tires on the ground also.
I weigh 250 as well stand ons you have to learn how to use your body weight to balance and use it to your advantage it is a whole different ballgame than the sitting Zero turns
@@thatdieselboi6263 yep, really is. How about those walk behinds with the attached little deck on little wheels? Always amazing to watch a skilled lawn person work a hill, sideways with one of those lol!
I have a 36 scag v ride and if you raise it up about 2 notches you will be where you want it to be. I added a grass flap and love it. I also have a 52 scag v ride
Have to check the chains and all on the mower... when I first started using a srs36 Ferris... the height was off about a half inch.... was real easy to fix.... no more scalps...
The decks on scags do not float so if your lawn is un even it will scalp those areas unless you adjust deck while mowing. I normally cut at 3 1/4 or 3 1/2 for my customers.
@@SleepyJoe408 it does pretty good unless it’s slipped then you’ll start to have some problems. But yes it’ll leave some ruts. They get pretty bad if you’re try to turn real fast.
@@TheNutthouse1 thanks bud. I was Just curious. I currently have a 32” Wright B but it’s horrible and leave ruts even when it’s not that wet. I’m looking to buy another stand on this fall to have as a backup but I’m looking for something that’ll be better on wet grass.
JZPROSOUND I always have to readjust the deck height so the cut matches what the indicated height. Have several scags and from the factory the cut is 1/2 inch lower than indicated.
Get company T-shirts for your family I think they would love it and they double as Christmas and birthday presents for your friends definitely get a top left pocket that’s where your mask goes
You plus the mower is 1050 lbs(if you go 250, mower is 800lb) on narrow tires, be forwarned. Nice morning ground soft from dew and youll rut and tear, on those dog days of summer when rain is scarce you'll hit a 3 pt turn and peel that grass like a apple, keep the push mower on the trailer. Many folks in my area aint letting you near their yards with a stander.
Man I can tell you it’s almost like hiring an employee. Just one thing I’d recommend if you’ve never used one is practice. I’ve had to adjust my air pressure a couple of times and slow down.
Hey question I see you in Texas . Have you gotten any luck on best mulching settings. I have upgraded my discharge with a discharge block. And had switch my blades with mulching blades but I haven’t upgraded with a mulch it kit that includes extra baffels. Just curious if you have any suggestions
Minute 8:10 you said cuts right but it look chopped that can open for desease and lawn blade . Also you have st Augustine you can’t cut low as you would on Bermuda or Others . St Augustine I would say 4 inch’s you cut at 2-3 inches that’s to low
What does something like this Go for I am looking for the next step down from the 36" I also have a 48" but I want to get the next step down from the 36 please comment back what the price would be on this machine Thank you for this video good luck with it
If you let your tires roll off the grass it will scalp it.....which is what happened there. Also, cutting grass too short will scalp it also....I will not mow under 4 inches unless a client ask me to and then I will not go lower than 3.
The tires will want to spin. I aired my down a little to try and help out but it didn’t make a huge difference when it was wet or soft. I’d say that’s one of the only down fall of this unit so far. I’ve also tried to not make as sharp of turns and did almost like a 3 point turn and that helped some also.
8:05 Holy crap, that is NOT real nice. It looks like there was absolutely no edge on the blade. Those cuts should be clean, but it looks like it was ripped off. Any chance there was some kind of protector put over the blades on the lawn mower?
@@TheNutthouse1 Oh my. Never run with factory edge. It's not sharp. Should be a clean cut with no tearing or your yard will have a brown tinge to it in a couple of days.
A very good mower but the rear wheels are to skinny hopeless on slopes especially when a bit wet and leaves ruts when in soft ground other than that very good machine
@@TheNutthouse1 If it tears up Fescue I would hate to see what it does to Perennial Rye or KBG!! That is disappointing to say the least. I have to take into account you did mow that about a 1/2 inch lower than normal, but dang that is rough! I was actually considering the 32" for home use, not so sure now.
You probably already figured out the deck adjustment but on the the bottom of the handle you use to put the deck down there should be a area the a pin and holes
You should never cut grass below 4”. Anything below 4” will put way too much stress on the turf unless you get rain 3x a week. I’ve been in business for almost 15 years, about 90% of the lawns I cut are set on 4 1/2”. I have a 61” vride 2 with 37hp Kawasaki engine. You are also turning it wrong. You should do a 3 point turn or when you get to the customer you will tear up their turf. Those machines stripe amazing, just put the front tire about 3” on the next stripe where you haven’t cut yet.

I have the 36 and I mow in Cincinnati and several of my properties have very steep and high hills. I have to go straight up, but it moves without hesitation. Going horizontal is difficult because it wants to slide.
wow, you started a small lawncare business and you went all out right out of the gate! congrats!
Yeah it’s cause I had a few large open lots. And a push mower was taking me hours.
Yes as soon as the music started I was rolling. Great job and nice looking mower.
Yep I thought it was fitting.
Very cool! Welcome to Scag Nation and thank you so much for your business. Enjoy the mow!
Thanks. I’m really excited about adding this to my arsenal. I have found that the deck height is off so I need to adjust that.
Same exact reason I ordered 1 just today for my business. Yards with small gates. Excellent choice.
Oh that is awesome!!! I love the music while you were mowing. It made me giggle. Hi baby girl! ALSO Thanks for representing my masks!!
I’m sure you figured it out by now but when you do the bulletins and high spots, you want to set it at 3 1/2 that way there won’t scalp I did the same thing got the same exact mower. The thing is awesome.

Brilliant machine it will pay for its self
I like how the rabbit pops out of nowhere 😂🤣but I like scag 32 mower that’s the one we need in our landscaping company we have bobcat 32 walk behind.

@@TheNutthouse1 Check out MMA Lawn care. He has a 32" stander a 26" & 21" YBravo. Solid set up . Works great for his clientele. I wish you success
I can almost garauntee that area by the street got scalped because the front wheels went over the curb
My V Ride was off by over half an inch from the factory!
I have the scag 36 and I had to adjust the high on the deck because it was half inch off.
I was pretty lucky mine was only about a 1/4 inch. So I just make sure the Im a 1/4 inch higher on my deck height.
Does the Skag come with a banjo player?
Best of luck KEEP MAKING MOW MONEY$$
I had the same issue with the cut height when I got my V Ride. It's 3.5 cut shorter than my JD tractor 3.5.
I’m after that exact mower I currently have an sfc30 and a 61” Cheetah 2 but that’s next
Awesome mower. Hows are you liking it?Also if you raise your deck 2 notches when you go over it it kickes the clumps out alot better.
Nice tip my friend!👍💯
This is exactly what I am about to do. I'm in Garland Richardson area. I've been to Frisco Power as well. They had the best deals.
Yes they had some great deals. Great guys there also.
I'm about to buy the vride 32" next week. I was about to get a Wright but I don't like the controls.
@@FreeWheelin yeah I understand. I have heard that they better turning with less tear out on the sod. But I don’t know that first hand.

Not that I have seen. A buddy of mine actually needed it more then I did so he has it now. But still have not found anything.
Sca in Scag stands for scalp, just saying lol. That's what they're known for, still would love to have one.
The scags are about a 1/4 different than other standard type mowers
What was the cost of the 32" scag video, if I may ask?
Minute 8:10 you said cuts right but it look chopped that can open for desease and lawn blade . Also you have st Augustine you can’t cut low as you would on Bermuda or Others . St Augustine I would say 4 inch’s you cut at 2-3 inches that’s to low

I believe it was around $7500.00. I wanted to get a 36 but I was having issues getting it to fit through some residential gates.
@@TheNutthouse1 Thank you very much for getting back to me Make your money quick
Need a chute blocker for small yards. Or mulch kit.
They dont make a mulch kit for these, at least not yet. I did install the grass flap on it.
I love my 32”!
Hell yeah!
My Favorite features are the cut quality, dispersing of clippings, accessibility, and the roaring sound this Kawasaki 16.5 HP delivers is amazing. 😎

Have a swz 36" and 52" vride. Would much rather have a 32 or 36 stander. How are the narrow tires working for you. Love the music.
Thanks. I thought the music was fitting. The drive tires are 20x6.5x10.
May want to check deck level some time they don't level them when they put together .
I seen a scag v ride 32 but it was a 15hp pull start. I haven’t seen this one.
I had not seen that one.
I bought one the problem is when it’s wet the skinny back tires make ruts in the lawn
You have to turn around correctly
How did it hold up in soft yards with them small tires.. in Maryland we get lots of rain.
The tires will want to spin. I aired my down a little to try and help out but it didn’t make a huge difference when it was wet or soft. I’d say that’s one of the only down fall of this unit so far.

Hello I have part number for the Accelerator bagger for your Scag 32
Price for that mower is outrageous....32 walk behind with velkie seems a more cost effective way to go
Yeah maybe. I didn’t like the velkie worked. I was a little to worried about backing up with it.
Nice! What's the price on this Scag? I like buying brand new also.
It was about $7500.
Guess dealer couldn’t afford to fill it with gas or level the deck ?
Haha I guess.
Pick your blades up lol and make sure your deck it adjusted right 😂
Does it have plenty of power ? thanks
Yes there is plenty of power for the size
Yes it will change due to weight lawn mower will ride on the grass but you have a 500pound machine it will ride lower
That’s what I have figured out
Nice mower just subscribe
A very good mower but the rear wheels are to skinny hopeless on slopes especially when a bit wet and leaves ruts when in soft ground other than that very good machine
May I ask how it’s still doing?
Going strong still.
Nice mower. how much is something like this?
I have about $8k in this mower.
@@TheNutthouse1 Thanks for your reply.
I do have a question... Did the shredding of the grass blades go away when you switched to the mulching blades??
No it just made them a little finer. But still there.
@@TheNutthouse1 If it tears up Fescue I would hate to see what it does to Perennial Rye or KBG!! That is disappointing to say the least.

You probably already figured out the deck adjustment but on the the bottom of the handle you use to put the deck down there should be a area the a pin and holes
Congratulations I cant wait to get me one.....nice
So far it’s been great. I love it.
I got one yesterday. Hows it been for you so far?
Man it’s been great. I changed the blades to a more mulching style blade and got my height settings down. Been great so far.
Can the 32inch V ride cut low?
I purchase a 2021 Gravely 32
Inch stand on can not cut low
I need a 32inch stand on that
Can cut low badly!
Yes it’ll cut pretty low.
What made you get a 32 inch than a 52 and up inch mower?
Jus being able to get in fence gates.
Nice
Would you say Gravely Pro stance 32 is pretty much same thing?
I haven’t tested the Gravely but I’d imagine it would be. I have heard the the hydraulics for the drive wheels are different.
How much do you weigh? Does it leave ruts when its wet?
When it’s wet it will. You just have to take you time. I’m about 250 pounds.
Hello sir is 18 hp or 15 hp?and how much is the cost the mower thankyou
16.5hp. Mower was about $7k.
Thankyou so much be safe
You should never cut grass below 4”. Anything below 4” will put way too much stress on the turf unless you get rain 3x a week.

You said not to cut grass below 4 and then you said to put 3 inc on the front tires lol
He's talking about the overlap of the front caster in relation to the stripe.....
What’s the years of your F250 ??
It’s a 1997.
You still rocking this machine? Any issues? How's the business going?
Try mowing at 3.5 or 4 inches
Why did you say you started a lawn business? What did u use to do?
When I started I had a Honda mower from Home Depot, echo weedeater and edger. These were all items I had for me to do my yard.
The Nutthouse I was referring to WHY you said you started a little lawn care business. You said it like it was something you where forced to do. Not something you wanted to do. That’s why I was asking what you meant?
Cesar Salazar oh I completely ready that wrong my apologies. So I started mowing them years ago with my middle kid cause he wanted to earn some money.
what size trailer is that ?
Its a small 5x10.
Great, video! Do you have an Instagram? We are your neighbor up north in McKinney.
I do have one but it’s not for mowing.
@@TheNutthouse1 You should start one and share your work with other lawncare guys! Find us @MowerManLS 😎👌
Just did
I just realized I hear locust. I never hear them in Allen.
Yeah they are almost comforting to me.
I would be mad if that was my yard.
That’s why I tried it on my yard first. I also talked to my customers first and asked them if I could try it on their lawns and they were good with it while I got it dialed in.
8k for a 32inch mower you should have went with a wright stander for under 5k
I’m not sure where you got that price but at the dealers throes two are priced very close to each other.
@@TheNutthouse1 i would have gotted a belt driven 32 exmark for under 3k
A walk behind?
Very gate enabling mower lol
Paddle faster I hear banjo music.
Tires are way too skinny
Agreed however that’s what’s available for the smaller frames units.
Your deck is set way too low you’re going to burn up a lot of peoples yards
Lol need to work on your skills
We all do.
How does this do on steep hills?
Sorry for the late response. Depends on the angle you are going at it and how steep. I had an issue going sideways.
I have the 36 and I mow in Cincinnati and several of my properties have very steep and high hills. I have to go straight up, but it moves without hesitation. Going horizontal is difficult because it wants to slide.
