Three different Scag zero-turn mowers
Zero-turn ride-on lawn mowers have many advantages that make them the go-to lawn mower for larger properties. Scag offers six different zero-wheel mowers for different lots and terrain. Despite their bulk, zero-turn mowers are surprisingly nimble and can even turn for less than a dime, allowing their operators to create long, luxurious streaks across well-manicured lawns. Scag mowers are built with an emphasis on comfort and durability, meaning operators and their machines will last for years to come. Here we will introduce three Scag zero-turn mowers in details.
Turf Tiger II
Turf Tiger II is the most expensive Scag mower, but the performance worthy its price. It can achieve forward speeds of up to 12 mph and reverse speeds of up to 5 mph. The Turf Tiger includes drive axle-driven Velocity Plus™ 52", 61" or 72" cutters and a centered mounted gasoline, diesel or propane fuel tank for increased hill stability. This mower can cut terrain accurately across a variety of ranges, but it’s not a good choice for smaller, flatter properties or light maintenance need.
Cheetah II
The Cheetah II is the fastest mower that Scag offers, and it can achieve ground speeds of up to 16 mph forward and 8 mph in reverse. The mower comes with a 31/38 hp Kawasaki FX921V/FX1000 engine or a 37 hp Briggs Vanguard™ BIG BLOCK™ EFI engine. There's also a straight belt-driven cutting deck and a 15-gallon (61in/72in) oil tank mounted to the mower for added stability. This mower is ideal for homeowners who need to cover a lot of ground every day but are less suited to hilly terrain.
Tiger Cat II
The Tiger Cat II is a mid-size mower that maximizes comfort, productivity and performance. Riders can enjoy a fully padded torsion spring suspension seat with four-point etc. mounts for a smooth, weight-adjustable ride. The nearly half-inch thick 48", 52" or 61" Velocity Plus™ cutting deck can be adjusted from 1" to 5" in 0.25" increments with the foot pedal. A sturdy tubular steel frame protects the mower, which has a top speed of 12 mph in forward and 5 mph in reverse, while a 9.5-gallon fuel tank lets you get the job done in one go.
How to test a scag pto switch?
Scag mowers use a variety of switches and levers to make mowing a home or business lawn as simple as possible. With the right settings selected, it's easy to keep the grass trimmed as smooth as possible. However, it is necessary to test all of these mower components to make sure they are working properly. Testing the Scag PTO (power take off) switch ensures that your mower will not mistakenly start on its own. If your mower’s engine starts with the PTO switch up, there’s an problem with the mower’s safety interlock circuit and it’s recommended that you should call a Scag-certified mechanic. The following is about how to test a scag pto switch on our own.
1. With the lawn mower on, park it in the open area, such as in the middle of the lawn; lock the parking brake with your hands.
2. Manually move the throttle lever to "neutral" to shut off the mower; the lever is on the left side of the mower. Let the engine run for a few seconds, then turn the ignition key to "off" and remove it by hand.
3. Pull up the electric power take off switch by hand which is the knob on the mower's dashboard.
4. Test the PTO switch, try to start the engine, put the key back in the ignition, and turn it all the way to the "Start" position; if the mower engine won't start after the test, the PTO switch shuts off the power properly.
