I have a v ride 2 and I don’t have to take the plate off to get the center blade. I go on the under side with a wrench and use a impact from the bottom while I’m laying down. It’s faster because I don’t have to take off the plate and I don’t risk getting burned.
I just bought a 2022 gravley pro stance 60" I wanted to demo the scag and the ferris and exmark bit I live in NH and we still can't get anything here no matter what you go to buy it's on back order I called every scag dealer in NH just last week 7-5-22 and there wasn't one to be had the earliest shipment was coming in Dec and most were spoken for.i ended up finding the gravely mb tractor had only 3 left in all 9 of their locations so I bought it and it's awesome easier oil change, deck adjustment and blade change it only has a 23.5 hp they didn't have the 26 hp efi so I had to take it but it cuts through super thick grass set at 3 1/4 with no problems at all was super relieved thought it was gonna be underpowered I have a lot of hilly properties and it ate everything up easily.its comfortable smooth cuts great and has plenty of power and it was 10,300 2700 cheaper then the scag and the others as well I did get prices and they were all high 12's and 13k IDK bit I'm psyched ill take a quick video of it and upload it I'm NHWilderness if ur interested..good video by the way finally and to the point with no music and BS!
Thats a really well thought out mower built like a tank ,I live in Australia and I’m going to get the 32.” And just pay it off after the deposit iv got I think the mower will pay for its self cross my fingers I’m making the write decision iv faith in the machine ,jimmy
It’s definitely a tank! I’ve seen a lot of good things from the 32”, that will probably be one of my next purchases. Small yet efficient machines! Good luck with the new purchase!
Thanks for great info Matt. I have a unique question. I am in the market for a mower and really have my eyes on a Scag. I have 15,000 sf of yard to mow. I’m debating between the SFC30 and the 32” VRide 2. I know they are wildly different mowers, but I can’t make my mind up. Of course I would love the VRide but it’s incredibly expensive and I think it could be overkill for residential use. I need something small because my gate is 35” wide. My wife is pushing for the VRide to reduce the time I’m working in the yard, but I think she’s under appreciating the other items I’m going to have to spend money on for taking care of the yard. For personal use on a flat Bermuda yard like that, would you be content with the SFC30 or would you want to have the VRide regardless even given the cost knowing you’re not making money off the equipment. Thanks for the informative videos.
@@dmurski21 If it was me, I would look into the VRide. The SFC isn’t a bad machine and I used one for a couple seasons. But, for the size of your yard, I’d go with a ride on machine.
What the heck am I doing wrong with this deck lever? I CANNOT get the deck to lock in the up position. It's as if there is no up position. I have to re-pin the deck to up, then re-pin it to mow, then re-pin it to put it on the trailer. The manual says ON PAGE 20, "(2.) Pull the cutter deck lift lever all the way backward UNTIL IT LOCKS IN PLACE." What is up???
Sounds like the deck is adjusted too high and hits the stops before it gets to the transport lock position. First check that the spring (Part 4) is not missing from the latch mechanism. If it is there, check that the latch, (Part 9 in the cutter deck controls diagram) drops into place. If it does not, adjust the deck down using the turnbuckle link (Part 35) until the deck can raise all the way into transport without interference.
If you have any gated areas, check that first. The difference between the two is only four inches. You won’t really notice that unless you have a lot of obstacles to maneuver around.
My 10 year old V-Ride 52" with the FX730V is at 2100 and still going strong, cutting great. Would like to replace it with either the model in the video or a 61" with a Vanguard.
Thanks for the review, Matt. We appreciate your business and we trust that you will have many more years with that V-Ride!
I know that the machine has transformed my business. I can definitely see why so many are running Cat’s Eye Gold. I look forward to many more years!
Wish I could find tweels for my new vr2! 🥴
We only run scag. Love em
I've had one for a two years. My favorite zero turn
Same here! It’s a great machine!

That’s what I’ve been doing now too. I take the plate off to clean around that spindle too.

Thanks for watching! Glad you found something that works for you! Mowers are hard to come by in this day and age.
I just bought one today. Can’t wait to get out on it!!
Awesome! Congrats on the purchase. Enjoy the mow!
@@matthewsmowing Thanks! I used it all week and it was awesome! It's built like a tank :-)

Nice review. We are picking one up in June. Have a tiger cat II that just hit 1000 hours a couple weeks ago.
Very nice! Congratulations on the new mower and sounds like the Tiger Cat II has done well for you! Thanks for watching!
Just seen this video I do live in northern Ohio I’ll look into Wooster power equipment I’ve talked to Wellington implement
Good deal! Talk with Nick and he’ll get you taken care of!

Alright Matt, I am on it in the morning. THANK YOU for the great response.@@matthewsmowing
Great video Matthew scag #1
Thanks so much!
should i get the 48” over the 52 inch based on our small residential lawn sizes?
If you have any gated areas, check that first. The difference between the two is only four inches. You won’t really notice that unless you have a lot of obstacles to maneuver around.
I like the V-Ride, I subbed!
Awesome! Thanks for subscribing!
Hi Matt I like your videos..
And question were can buy those tires and what's the name or the tire .
And we're cam bit the discharge..
You can buy them directly from Michelin, some dealers have them and also Sunbelt rental stores. Thanks for watching!
Just got rid of my 48 VR2. 61 VR2 with the Kawi is coming Wednesday, sounds like it’ll be a good mower. How much did the tweels run?
Very nice! Congrats on the new mower. The Tweels are around $1,000 a set.
Great video get a grass flap or green guard
Thanks! I looked at both, but like my Advance Chute.
Can I ask the size of the tweels?
24x12x12
Most reviews are on newish machines ,any body got a video on a scag that’s done say 2000-3000 hours how they hold up
Check out Pro Cut Lawncare. He has two Turf Tigers, one with over 1,000 and one with over 3,000 hours. Still going strong.
My 10 year old V-Ride 52" with the FX730V is at 2100 and still going strong, cutting great. Would like to replace it with either the model in the video or a 61" with a Vanguard.
How much were the tweels ? Thx
Around $1,000

Awesome! Thanks for subscribing! 🙏🏻
How many gallons per hour does it give you?
On average it’s about a tank a day. 8 hours and 8 gallons of fuel, so about a gallon an hour.
Can I ask how much the mower cost?
Base price from Scag is a little over 13K.
ZK’s everyday, any day
If it works for you. I personally didn’t have good luck with the Wrights.
Different grass types we are in Florida
@@LawnProAdviceTalk Correct. Florida grass is different than cool season grasses. The Aero Core deck would be good for yours.
OHIO WHAT UP
and in the Vernon sheesh not far away lol Wooster is a lil drive for you tho
What’s up! You in MV? It’s not too bad of a drive!
