I got a 2024 Scag tiger cat 2 26 hp I love it

Thanks for the review. Very nice tough mower. I have a high velocity deck 52, but I have a Briggs & Stratton 28 EFI. It’s the same as yours, very dependable, durable & and extremely high quality cut. At times I use the mulched plate, & it cuts the grass very small. The Kawasaki must be a great engine, when I purchased mine they only had the 28 EFI inn stock.

I have it , use it 6 days a week in my lawn business for the last 2 5 years , the fuel injected engine is awesome the mower smashes big lawns. That is a fully commercial mower the air cleaner is deferent but really about same as canister type with the rain cap and I like it better over time I had problems breaking the big canister on my old scag. Actually really like the vertical air filter on this mashine. Just l grab the bar behind the seat and lift the seat up to get the oil filter easy ,you put filter on by hand until it's snug then only half a turn tighter . Then it comes of easy by hand .Don't forget to grease the spindles once in a while . The fuel injection smokes a carburetor any day all day. If you understand how fuel injection works ,it is all ways adding or subtracting small amounts of fuel trying to maintain the best fuel air ratio. Basically if you hit a thick patch of grass it will add more fuel to try and keep the motor running smooth or the same rims as it was before the thick spot ,it's like more power to me

Those 2 things aren't minor if your trying to run a business. Thank you.v

1. Lubricate the track the rounds slide down and the ball that holds holds them in. 2. Hold the loader vertical. The rounds will slide into the magazine with no shaking or pumping.

I have the 61 Tigercat II with the 26 Kawasaki, and I couldnt be any happier. I was worried abput scalping as well as I have a diverse terrain, to say the least. I have had virtually no problems with this issue. This mower comes highly recommended, and I'm no stranger to a commercial lawn mower.

It is not flush with the frame because there are longer to make loading the eighth round easier. When inserted into the gun, it will have a positive lock with the magazine catch.

Cómo puedo comprar es una tienda tengo que hordenalo

Anyone know how Scag compares to Grasshopper? I've narrowed the selection down between those two. I'm not talking spec. sheet comparison, I'm referring to real world use. Thanks.

Also looking to get one. Is yours the 26HP? And Is the power enough on the 26HP? Keep looking at the cheetah 2 and the tiger cat 2, cant make my mind up. How do you like it so far? NICE MUSIC BY THE WAY!!!

Just new (6 months ago) to the Loading Community and I had this same issue, but all I needed to do is to bend the lip downward a but so that it wasn't in the way when seating the primer. Good Luck!

Hit the bullets with a squirt of rem oil or silicon as it says in the directions and they will fall into place. Helps with the reliability of the pistol too.

Your holding the loader wrong.

I have a 2021 scag cheetah 2 with the kawasaki fx1000 38.5 hp and it is a beast of a machine

That’s definitely a commercial engine bud. That’s the way the new air filters are. The engine with the air filter on top is a carbureted engine. I have the same one on a 52 inch and it has plenty of power on the 52.

That is a commercial engine , just fuel injected. Kawasaki FR and below are residential engines. Nice mower.

My son is purchasing my Tiger Cub 48” deck that I owned for 11 years. 465hrs non commercial use. Great mower. Scag does it right. I just purchased a Tiger Cat 2 with a 52” deck. Probably overkill for a 1 acre lot with +100 trees. Great machine.

Simply the best !

Run a Scag for years and I am long legged like you,,,,,,,,cross over with your left leg / foot to raise and lower the mower deck and you will not have clearance problems.

Possibly the only SCAG thats worth anything. The Patriot, and all the lower models are complete junk. Dont waste your $$$$, way over priced. Nearly all zero turns are complete junk compared to a real tractor, and will start falling apart after about 3 years. No way in hell any of these will still be running in 40 years. Buy a zero turn if you like working on them, "invest", in a tractor, if you want to get your work done.

*A huge timesaver One last note🌾🌾 **allabout.wiki/Z254** this mower is incredibly powerful. During my pruning, I was cutting HUGE branches off some of the large trees. I would then stack the branches into piles, tie them together with a tow-rope, and connect the other end to the back of the mower. It had POWER-TO-SPARE in hauling the large piles of branches, and it didn't even break a sweat! All in all, a very nice piece of equipment...I will get a ton of use out of it!*

Id love to have the Tiger Cat. My budget had me get a Freedom Z model but I love it! I know Id like any of the higher end models

The best on the planet

You get what you pay for. Buy a turf tiger with a kawasaki engine

No mower is going to be perfect to every individual unless you design it how you want it. Professional lawn Care people are so particular about their mowers. There's no such thing as perfect.

I have the cheetah 2 in 61” deck

Looks like they listen to the critics and added the scalp rollers

A little grass is right. Haha.

How do you like the hitch? I’m thinking about getting one of these mowers and haven’t seen much out there about the hitch.

Torn between this one and the 32 hp Vanguard. Are you still satisfied with the power?

Go fuck yourself

Scag has promotional pricing right now on this mower with kawasaki ft730v EFI

I just bought one, 52 inch 26 hp Kawasaki EFI. Homeowner also.

Getting same one tomorrow

I have owned one of those McFadden magazine loaders that I bought for my Ruger Mark 3 pistols and once you get them adjusted right they do load very fast you can load a magazine in about 3 seconds but you do not need to pump the magazine as you show you just want to hold the loader vertically and stick the magazine in there and they should all just fall in place.

You can adjust the handles?

I am considering a used 2013 Scag Tiger Cat with 960 hours. Has a 52" Velocity deck and Kohler engine. A dealer near me says it was taken care of. It would be overkill for our 2/3 acre. It would be my baby, like a race horse put out to pasture. But if I pull the trigger, it would be cheaper than a new 48" Liberty Z. Will wait and see what decision in the next couple months.

Going to buy either this exact ft730v or the 32 vangaurd tomorrow. Looked at all brands and scags stuck out for some reason. 9500 for the kaw and 10k for the briggs.. prob will end up with the kaw just because its cheaper and fuel injected. American made mower and engine if I am correct. That is important to me. I only have prob 2 country acres to mow, so I'll follow and look foward to more maintenance videos. Thanks for this one!

I have the same mower purchased 8/19. It replaced a snapper pro purchased in 2007. The scag is a much better mower. The 26 efi Kawasaki is as fuel efficient as the 19hp Kawasaki it replaced. Thanks for the video and good luck

We're going to demo this tomorrow. That is a nice cut right there. Glad to hear the Kawasaki FT is treating you well. Thanks for sharing.

It's not scag manufacturer..is the Kawasaki engine manufacturer on the oil dipstick location.

Sweet mower! How many hours?

If it makes you feel any better about the quality of these mowers, I’ve got one that is 15 years old. It’s your mower back when It used to be called the tiger cub. The tiger cub and the tiger cat version one are nearly identical. These are just downright awesome mowers.

What does something like that cost out the door?

Nice mower

No volume!

Im looking to buy this exact model. Would you still recommend it? How has the engine been and does it ever feel underpowered? Appreciate any input you can offer thank you!

That’s a lot of mower for 3 acres.Probably the last mower you’ll ever buy!

The issue regarding your legs hitting the lap bars. I had the same problem 6' 3'" The lap bar unbolts . You can drill two more holes just 1 inch makes the biggest difference and then re-bolt them back on . Measure the distance between the two holes and drill it on the lap bar itself on the silver part it works great. Some of the older Scags used to have the holes in it already to move the lap bars upper down for taller people
