Have a SCAG Turf Tiger. 19 years of old. Good machines, but could never justify the new ones at over 17k. But if I was going into commercial business of mowing...it would be my first choice.

Delivered a nice even cut, has the super tight turning ability kzitem.infoUgkx1VWTrayKBdCKAjzAcZ_Eg4dhHTae3LkN also recommend I was looking for, and is just a blast to drive. 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've heard a lot of good reviews of scag mowers at any speed you mow with it always does a great cut vs the other zero turn mowers

Both models only cut at 12mph. The cheetah has a high gear that runs 18 I think but won’t cut in that gear.

On my second Scag Turf Tiger first one lasted 20 years 4339hrs and two 27 horsepower Kawasaki liquid cooled engines not much else major a bad muffler and and of course the electric deck clutches. My only reason to upgrade the one pump was whining for over a year when second engine was shot. I bought the new Turf Tiger 2. I like twin pumps and twin wheel motors so I stayed with the Turf Tiger over a transaxle models, which I hear they don't repair they only replace. My only complaint both units weight a lot be careful of compaction around the trees. Prices 20 years ago 10500 the 2020 was 15500. Oh I forgot the new velocity deck has a lot of deck more blowout I use a vac system in the fall the old advantage deck was better.

I use a turf tiger 61 27hp for my 1 acre. The thought process is to always buy what all the pro’s in the area use, because the shops around me will always have parts. Also if its good enough to run all day every day, should handle my 2 hours a week

That's a great mower. But I believe this mower and the Cheetah 2 are basically the same mower. Both have the Velocity Plus deck. Both have the same engine speed and blade speed. Even though the Cheetah 2 WILL go 16 MPH, you can't really mow at that speed. That is for moving the mower from one location to the other. This mower is a couple hundred pounds heaver and has a drive shaft as opposed to the drive belt of the Cheetah 2. Shouldn't really affect the cut quality though. I believe this mower costs a couple thousand bucks more as it's built a bit beefier. I also like the tiger stripes on the fenders better than the Cheetah.

I have a 54" Kawasaki, great torque, but this is 24 HP, a 730V engine if you want to look up the specs. This is a Bad Boy entry level commercial, and I have Heavy grass in the back acre and I think it cannot handle the load, I think a 31 hp would be better.

Where I used to work we had the Scag Tiger. Great machine but there was simply no way you could cut at full pelt unless your grassy area was SUPER level. Even with a bit of bump it would fly all over. I worked for a local council so all our areas were super bumpy! B-) Also... We never use the side ejection port. Ours was all mulched under the deck, that would slow us down when the grass was longer or wet, but never really caused a bother otherwise. YOu also seem to be cutting a lot lower than we did... Your deck is WAY lower than I had it... Are your blades really high above the deck line? NOTE... I am in the UK and our grass may not be the same as yours?

I wanted a Turf Tiger II or a Cheetah II but I ended up with a Patriot. That’s what happens when the boss picks the equipment for a job he has never done. My new boss was in favor of the Cheetah II but he has suggested the Exmark Lazer Z with the 96 inch flex deck. Can’t argue with that if he wants to spend that much money. 🤘🤘

Personally, I'd go with the turf tiger II. It mows plenty fast enough, but it's all personal preference. The dealer can go over both models with you to see what works best for your use and budget. Whatever one you pick they are both good.

Just my opinion? While NOT a Ferris or a Gravely your machine has been built to withstand a fair amount of abuse. That said if you're not working a strategy to deliberately get your money's worth, you'll never realize the full value! Too much machine to be just sitting around.

That’s funny… I don’t own a Scag but through Covid you couldn’t get a bagging system for it because it is made in China. You could for Scag though! JD parts are over priced in my opinion. A larger company in my area switched from Exmark to JD and switched back. They had a lot of breakdowns🤷♂️ The mulch on demand I hear is a nice option… when it still works…
