This is the best heavy duty 21 mower out on the market. So strong mulches and bags excellent. This scag mower is the best replacement of the discontinued Honda mowers.
we agree!!
Just ordered mine yesterday from my local dealer. Extremely excited about it.
great choice! Its a fantastic mower
Scag SFC-21 Excellent mower and the accessory side shoot works great. I bought mine at RAYS REPAIR 15845 GEORGIA RD MIDDLEFIELD, OHIO,44062. I mentioned where I bought it because I had a good positive experience. Seldom do I leave an establishment feeling that I was treated well.
already have a toro commercial 21 that i rarely use. if i did need a mower this size for regular use, the scag would be my first choice.
The advantages I see from having no side discharge.
The side discharge mowers have that flap that sticks out and limits the mowing closeness on that side and also catches more on obstacles and then breaks or cracks, and doesn’t get in the way when loading or storing as some leave people leave the side flap there when doing these things. Also the side discharge can be a catch point for grass if your bagging a lot as its not a smooth surface anymore, and the gap can create a weak spot where there is less steel on the side.
The side discharge on this mower actually connects to the back of the mower. It doesn’t stick out at all!
@@KPMExceptionalYes similar to the milwaukee 36 volt mower rear deflector.
In fact a lot of mowers don’t even need that back deflector you can just tie the rear flap up about half way and the grass deflects/falls at your feet.
put some front caster wheels on it and i would buy it today!
How fast is it ? Can it compete with toro’s speed ?
Good evening, sir. Today, I just purchased the above Scag Mower you're demonstrating in this video. However, is there any place, website, CZcams site, where I can get a step-by-step diagram or demonstration of how to attach the New Side-Discharge Chute I also purchased. I couldn't ask the dealer since the mower was delivered to my home by one of the dealer's truck drivers. When I lift the rear door, it appears that there may be a plug inserted. How does one remove it? Am I being too "gentle" in attempting to pull it out, and, does it require more pulling force? Then, does attaching the Side Discharge require any tools or some kind of accompanying hardware? Thank you, for your help with this. I'd like to use it for the first time this weekend.... - jack
@JackMastrangelo czcams.com/video/P2L3Ya0ziBk/video.html In part 2 we briefly showing removing and reapplying the plug in the back. You are mostly likely being to gentle, give it a real good tug! The side discharge does not require any tools, it slips into place. Good luck, let us know how it worked out.
Bought one last week. They said it would start on the first pull. After first cut, I noticed a nut fell off, turns out the bracket holding the trans backed off. 2nd cut, took about 5 pulls to start, cut amazing after that. Now I can’t get it to start. Tried the throttle on multiple positions, I have gas. So idk why it won’t start. Maybe I fouled the plug?
we are sorry to hear you had a loose part! have you tried calling your local dealer? with a machine this a warranty repair would be our recommendation.
Not sure if your having the same issue I did but my fuel line was pushing on the off switch, no matter what the throttle position was. I moved the fuel line and problem was solved. I had to take apart my new mower to diagnose the issue. Was happy it was an easy fix. I posted a video and that was the last time it started until I moved fuel line.
Is the side discharge available yet?? I called a store last month and they said they didn’t have it
Yes it is! It’s at your local Scag dealer. If they don’t have them in stock they can order them from their distributor.
I know it has 3 speeds, but under stood that you could vary the speed by how much you pull the lever up to start moving, does anyone know if that is true ?
According to the owners manual the drive control bar can be engaged partially in order to adjust your speed on the fly in addition to the 3 speed variable transmission.
Can you get a mulching blade along with an engine guard for the Scag 21 inch mower. In some of the videos of the machine I've seen from Scag, there is a black engine guard handle in front of the engine much like you see on the commercial Toro 21 inch. Thanks.
The blade included with the SFC21 is a 3 in 1 blade - meaning it can mulch. Scag does not make a dedicated mulching blade for the SFC21 at this time. There is an engine guard for the SFC21 - part number 926G. Hope this helps!
@@KPMExceptional Thanks for the response. This is a great help. Are there preset holes on the deck of the 21 inch Scag that the engine guard just bolts into? Thank You.
@@joeraptor1 Yes, there are preset holes near the front of the deck, right by the front tires.
Good evening, Sir. Since you represent KPM Exceptional, I have a choice to make regarding the purchase of a walk-behind mower. I've been trying to decide whether I put my money on the Scag SFC21, or the yBravo 25-inch commercial? I understand that KPM sells both. Either mower would be used for my home, which happens to have some very steep hills. Thank you, for your help.
Jack, thank you for following KPM on CZcams, we hope you enjoy the content. The direction you seek is very clear since you provided a complete description of your situation. For a property with “very steep hills” maneuverability of the mower will be of great importance to you. A smaller machine will provide better maneuverability, so therefore, in your application the SFC21 is the more maneuverable machine.
Thank you for your question, it looks like we will have a great start to the season.
@@KPMExceptional Thank you, very much for your timely and valuable response!
Did I miss the mulching? I almost exclusively mulch...
We do some mulching in the follow up video here czcams.com/video/P2L3Ya0ziBk/video.html
When receiving this mower new, do you need to sharpen the blades?
No. Is this a joke.
@@rebandmike No. Many times mowers are dull from being painted or never sharpened.
Are the handle bars adjustable for taller or shorter operators?
They can be adjusted for taller or shorter people. There is no telescoping rods - but they angle at the base can be adjusted.
Thank you.
@@KPMExceptional
Do they come with the side discharge or you have to order it separately
It does come with the side discharge chute. Thanks for asking.
@@KPMExceptionalI recently purchased one had to order it separately
@@jasonslaughter2811 You may have purchased old stock.
@@daryldaryl887 The Scag web site clearly states that it includes accessories for mulching and bagging. Side discharge is optional.
The mower will mulch wet grass out of sight easily I'm talking angle high not knee-high grass and bump steering around obstacles easily and the deck guards keep you from cringing great mower with nice blade power. I own the SFC21- 224cv/ 7hp
We agree! Thanks for your comment!!
How heavy is it?
The 5 horse power unit is 132 lb. and the 7 horse power unit is 138 lb. (both without bagger).
Is that it's top speed?
Top speed is stated to be 4.25 mph. Also, variable with a 3 speed transmission.
Did he show the mulching?
we just realized we did not! we're going to shoot a quick video tomorrow to show the mulching. we actually mulched with it that day just didn't record the footage! Thanks for your question.
@@KPMExceptional - Did you ever get the mulching video? It doesn't seem that it's posted.
I am working on the video now, you'll be the first to know!@@laurapayne9987
Nothing better than American Made 🇺🇲👍
Sometimes Jeep are crap. Toro crap, Ford are useless, GM generally rubbish, briggs and stratton just useless to that's just starters US defense industry's are great other manufacturers have forgotten QA
It is still throwing clumps with the dew in the video. personally I think a side discharge would have been a better option. short turf types will be great for this but my tall fescue will bog that thing down and clump without a better discharge.
all we can do is encourage you to try one out. people will say they are heavy, but boy do they cut nicely. taking alot of grass off or working in wetter conditions is not an issue for this machine compared to the competition in the 21" mower category.
Only downside I see is the engine. If you could get the Kawasaki or Honda Pro engine I would definitely buy one
Kawasaki maybe. Honda is inferior
Having said that Kohler is at least equal to Kawasaki but nothing can't beat Briggs & Stratton, obviously
Half of this is hyperbole and half information.
Slow down, throw out the excited chatter and present a clear and concise set of pros and cons (one would be the weight of the machine versus, for instance, the world's most popular 21" push which is the Honda HRU216) and you'll probably convince more people to try it.
Way way overpriced!!
I own one and the 3 year warranty on the engine is worth it. Do you do landscaping commercially? I do and you can literally drop a boom on it and go cut grass after. Real rubber wheels and the height is marked. But most importantly it cuts grass amazingly well and it mulches so well it’s truly amazing. Wet think grass a mower that’s cheaper would bog down. I own one of the largest landscaping companies around here and the price is not a factor when I spend 12k-20k on the big mowers. This SCAG is in every single trailer I own. For commercial it’s totally worth it. For a homeowner you are correct it’s over kill. But we have about 65 customers who pay extra just to have the property push mowed or they have small gated areas. This is the most versatile mower I own and it is built and though out extremely well.
@@rebandmike Thanks for the feedback. Have you ever used the Toro Commercial 21" mowers? I'm trying to compare this Scag 21 with the Toro ones. I have a Toro 21" commercial and love it but this new Scag looks great and is actually cheaper than the Toro commercials where I am. Just wanted to get some feedback before getting one. Thank You.
It has a major problem if the grass is wet and you're using rear discharge or catching grass the rear grass shot clogs constantly using the single bar blade..
@Scag the design off your grass shoot in the deck needs serious review the plastic cover over the drive belt is primitive design
Here's what to do look at Honda decks see how they get good grass flow
Lift motor by 75mm odd place drive belt above deck easier to service to
Fit 4 blade cutting disk standard
This is interesting information, we will pass this along to Scag. Thanks again.
Thanks for sharing that valuable feedback. I want to add another 21" commercial. I usually bag or mulch. I already have a Toro commercial 21 mower. I love the Toro but they've gotten really expensive where I am. I was looking at the Scag 21. It's priced at about $2600 where I live. I was also looking at the Honda HRC216...it's priced at $1729. If the Scag has that design flaw with bagging, I'm not sure if it's worth the extra money over a Toro. Thanks.
For commercial use catcher needs to be 30% bigger capacity
How fast is it ? Can it compete with toro’s speed ?
At 4.25 mph it sure can! You can find the spec sheet here. www.scag.com/product/walk-behind-mowers/sfc-21/
Yes
