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 .
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.
You can adjust the springs under the platform back a little to allow it to accommodate different size operators. I did order different springs for mine from a company called McMaster Carr. They have multiple different options. They are not steel cored like the OEM ones are, but they have multiple options for compression rate. It does allow the platform to accommodate taller operators. Thanks for watching!
Thank you sir, each machine definitely has it's own feel and cut quality. I'll check out the company you referenced. When spending that amount of money on a lawn mower one better make the right choice. Have a lucrative and healthy season, thanks for the prompt response. 👍🏼
Great job again showing and telling, if you can tell how much you gave for the mower it wood be nice to know. thanks again for showing have a great day see ya bye.
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 ?
Congrats on the new machine! That’s why I make these videos, because I did the same when I was buying. Tweels are a smoother ride in my opinion, especially on stand on machines.
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
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.
I have the Scag 36” and it’s been amazing! Scag believes in their product which is why they give a two year. They believe it will last for years of dependable service. Also a lot of companies use a machine for two years and trade it in.
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.
Yeah, I would like to see a little bigger tank, but I feel like adding more weight would cause it to be off balance. If they can figure out a dual tank setup, that might help.
Ok thanks allot…I read comments earlier…do you remember the exact spring you ordered…I ordered four different ones to get the proper fit for me…I love the machine, I hate how the springs make your feet go down
@@evricdavis2699 I don’t remember the exact ones I ordered. I just ordered what would be a combined total resistance for my size and weight. I did the same thing as you, order a few different ones and see which one worked best.
Beautiful mower. I just bought a brand new scag 52 inch zero turn.

Great video love the scag vrides we have three of them at my work
Awesome! Thanks for watching!

Great X explanation
You mentioned bagging..do you have the 2 bag system for the V ride?
I do not, I just use side catchers.
Good review.
Thanks for watching!
Did you close off part of the discharge opening? Does it effect grass disbursement when you have the chute blocker flap open?
The plate on the back edge is for the side catcher. I hadn’t removed it prior to filming.
@@matthewsmowing ohhh ok that makes sense.
Out of wright and scag which one is better?
I prefer the Scag for the cut quality and ease of maintenance. It’s a personal preference really.
Very nice
Where did you purchase your elastomer springs from????? …good review btw
Thank You! I ordered them online from McMaster Carr.

Perfect…I’m hoping this works out for me…I’m just looking for something with a little more give
Try the stand on Grasshopper S026 mower. Adjustable console and pad.
you ran any others? I have ferris deere. that mower looks brand new. all I run is kawasaki
I have ran others previously.
Toro, Ferris, Hustler, Wright, etc.
I like to keep my equipment looking it’s best.
Bro that thing looks new 👊
I’m a stickler for maintenance and company image. Gotta keep them clean!
She stripes minty
Indeed!
Nice striping.
Thanks!
