Honest review from a new SCAG Owner. Here is the review:
Previously owned (still do) a Toro Time Cutter 50". Way too small for a property I owned. It didn't cut the Bahia grass very well at all (usually had to go over it three times to get it cut). It was a rough ride and at 6 months the clutch got stuck and it caught on fire. This led me to look for something bigger. I ultimately purchased the SCAG Cheetah, 31HP Kawasaki, 60" mower.
I now have 10 hours on it. Here is the good/bad
Good:
- Best news it that it actually cuts the Bahia grass! First pass through the grass is gone, including some that was very tall.
- It is a beast. It cuts through tall grass, small trees, branches, etc very well. My property is largely bahia grass and I cut about 6-8 acres. It is bumpy with a lot of trees.
- Very powerful and the cutting clears the deck well?oes not get bogged down.
- It is definitely fast. Even on my rough terrain I can cut pretty quickly and get a lot done.
- Large fuel tank (15 gallons) is fantastic.
Negatives:
- I would prefer if the cuttings are smaller when leaving the cutter deck. For the taller grass and leaves I had to go back over the grass clippings on more than one occasion.
- The suspension wasn't as good as I expected. It is still a rough ride at times and I expected it to be a much smoother ride.
- Dusty, dirty ride! Expect to get 100% dirty if any of the area you will be cutting has dirt as a base layer. Each time I have gotten on it I have been filthy! It also then takes quite a bit of time afterward to clean it up.
- The control levers loosen while riding. I have found that I have to keep tightening the left control lever.
Not 100% what I expected but it does get the job done. It was tough to find a mower that can cut through Bahia grass?his one does it well so I will put up with the few negatives that it does have. I guess you can't have it all!
