Scag Day 3 Demo + Final Thoughts On The V Ride 2 | Joining Team Scag?!
Vložit
- čas přidán 8. 09. 2024
- Alright guys so today marked the end of our SCAG V-Ride 2, 3 Day SCAG Demo! I wanted to take some time to put the V Ride 2 through it's paces and give an honest report back on the machine.
I have to say I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed the demo! I was joking with my friend Mike, you never know what's out there with other gear and equipment if you don't try something new once in a while.
The reason I wanted to test out the SCAG V Ride 2 is because of the popularity it has with a lot of you guys and what I see on Instagram with it's stripe hype!
I wanted to see how it did up here in MI with our Kentucky Blue Grass, how the operator platform held up with the fatigue factor, and just overall how it performed in my subdivision style lawns.
I haven't made any decisions just yet, but overall I was super impressed with the whole demo. This isn't a publicity stunt. If I buy one, I have to throw down my own hard earned cash, just like the rest of you guys! So I wanted to take it serious and really put some hours on the unit and, see how it actually performed in the real world.
What do you guys think overall about the demo and the video we shot on the unit? Do you guys have/run a Scag V Ride (1 or 2!) and like yours? Has anyone compared it to the Exmark Vantage?
The main question is: should we join www.youtube.co... I guess only time will tell! Leave a comment down below!
BIG thank you and shoutout to SCAG for letting us demo this unit and arranging things! I reached out to them, not the other way around, just to set the record straight!
BIG shout out and thank you to Rich with PACE for helping fulfill the demo! Rich and I had a lot in common and he was definitely a great resource in this whole process. You'll see more of him and possibly another SCAG demo here in June/July.

So what do you guys think of the Scag V Ride 2, and all the demo footage? I really enjoyed working with Rich who was just first class, and the folks at SCAG who lined this up! For the record, I asked them for the demo, not the other way around. Comment below! What do you guys think? Should we join #teamscag, and utilize the V-Ride 2?!
This is just my opinion but I’d go with scag, the stripes look 👌
Take up less room on a trailer, we demoed one, but went a different route. If you have a need for it, get one.
Brian's Lawn Maintenance Join team scag!!
I would have been sold cutting wet Grass and it not chunking. Exmark chunks quite a bit
I am a grounds keeper at Lyon Oaks golf course and we fight over who gets to ride our scag versus our exmark. Scag all day everyday
I switched from a Exmark walk behind to a scag walk behind. Absolutely love the scag with the velocity deck.
Thank you so much for the review! I decided to go with team SCAG after I found out about the cut quality. It’s by far the best stripping mower that I’ve seen! Tried out a Ferris for a while but never got the same quality of cut. Thank you Brian for all your help in helping all of us become the best lawntrepreneurs we can be🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🦅
I love my scag!
I've got a 2017 Scag Turf Tiger II with the 35hp Big block and absolutely love it. Plenty of power and for all the power you get it doesn't drink that much fuel.
I have that very same Turf Tiger II in the garage right now, 60" Briggs Vanguard EFI 37hp engine.. This thing is the absolute Cadillac of zero turns, a pure BEAST of a machine. I use it on my properties with acreage, knocks the work down tremendously and the stripes are amazing!!
Nice to get to know more about the Scag brand and am definitely impressed. Looking forward to seeing you demo the big beast!
Try a walker stand on mower
I just wanted to thankyou for doing all your videos. I found your channel when I was looking for videos on the scag v-ride 2. I ended up purchasing one of these mowers June 1st and didn't get a demo for myself after watching your videos I knew I wanted it for sure. Thanks for all the info I have a scag tiger cat w/bagging system and both mowers are 52 inch so I can bag and not bag depending on what needs to be done. Your videos are great and you got a fan here
We really appreciate your business John! Happy Mowing!
Former lazer z operator, just picked up a 52" v2 last month. So far really happy with the unit and standup mowing in general! One thing I never knew (until I flipped through my manual;) is to engage the blades at mid-throttle... and then throttle up... for increased clutch life. Who knew?!? I'm digging team scag!
Yep!
great stuff
What do you think about Ferris Stand Ons?
I am looking forward to the SCAG Turf Tiger II demo.
Go with scag
I guess I could be called biased cause I'm a Scag fan, but I think you should get that mower! Looks like a solid, reliable machine, and can't wait to see the demo of the Turf Tiger II. Thanks for always putting out great content, have a great mowing season!
SCAG all day
Could you demo a Spartan kg XD?
Good video Brian . I think we you should go with what you feels the best for you and your company
due to your reviews i took a demo and im dropping 9,214.00 hard green cash ive busted my ass for on a brand new 61 inch injected v ride 2!! thanks for your very accurate reviews!!
That’s awesome man. Congrats
Ducatiman900620 how you like the 61 now? Can't decide if that's to big if scalps
I like that guy! Bring it!
Lol Rich was awesome.
Team scag like you said switch it up from sit on to stand on
For me besides Scag Ferris stander with new oil management system is the way to go
They must be small lawns
My name is Chris
Yeah final thoughts.
It’s the nicest stander money can buy..
Scag hell yes
Stand up seems better my back surgeon, wanted me to sit down, the last thing after surgery, sit down so hard on your back.
The decks just kill it on the scag. My 61 is amazing
Which model are you running?
Try a Wright stand on.
A blower mount.
I was contacted by the Scagg rep in our area, but I had to politely decline doing a demo.
I do like how these companies are now reaching out to owners/operators.
Good job with video bud.
Thanks pal! I did reach out to Scag, I don't play hard to get! I wanted to test it out for myself. Next up ... Gravely's Pro Stance!
Turf tiger 2 if you want to stick with a ztr.
I sure would like to try out the Vride. Good vid man.
Thx man. You should!
Honestly I feel like getting a scag would be worth it
I'll be purchasing a V Ride 2 next season..I just purchased the Turf Tiger 2 37 EFI and he's right it's a different animal you'll love it
Good to know!
SCAG stand-on or Exmark turf tracer both with mulching kit are good mowers
They all beat Hustler
Good mower looks and cuts good you should consider going with scag in the future
Buy it! That is one nice mower. Standing is way better then sitting
Yes demo The quick turn also
Try the Wright Stander ZK
For residential properties, stand on is the way to go! You HAVE to try the ferris. Soft ride suspension, bigger engine, better striping😊👍
Yardvarks Lawn Care that’s what everybody keeps saying!
Ferris all the way brother, and it'll match the truck and trailer
They are also UNREAL on hills and mowing wet grass. So much better than all riders Ive ever had
Standing is the way to go bro! I love my Z2 52" Awesome ride and 28 up efi is a beast!
Great walk around series!
I sold my lazer z 60 inch for a scag turf tiger 2 with 35 h.p. big block . I absolutely love it.
Demo Gravely mowers next! 👍😀 Pro-Turn Or ZT HD. 🇺🇲
We shall!
Hell yeah you should definitely demo the turf tiger 2 honestly the turf tiger 2 doesn't even look like a zero turn it looks like a beast of a machine I have watched these Scag demo videos 4 different times I definitely want to see the turf tiger 2 I have a hustler but I think I will definitely buy a Scag soon thanks for the great videos and keep up the good work
TT2 demo in 2 weeks!
Cost 52 inch Kolhr
I like the scag but is very heavy. If you like the V Ride 2 then you would love the Ferris Z2 with the 28 hp vanguard.
We have mostly big property's and have good grabbers to pu limbs and trash we do enough standing with...edging...weedeating..and blowing..nothing negative about skag never had one .... but I'm happy with Exmark ..and have extra belts pulleys etc...to much headache for me to change
Good luck Brian whatever you do
We run a Scag TT2 with the 37 Vanguard. The standon seems worth it just for the savings in blow time alone. Check out Ferris, not the same quality as Scag but I was very impressed with a quick demo. Ferris has a 61 standon with the 37 vanguard and they also have a nice suspension rider that would improve productivity on uneven terrain, very smooth ride compared to Scag.
Stephen Cunningham demoed a Ferris z2 with the vanguard not even in the same class as scag....I ended up with a vride 2 much better build quality
Do the turf tiger 2 it’s a cool mower 👍
Park 1969 soon!
The only problem with scag is there warranty they do not back up there word with there warrant.
Demo a wright stander ahe tell me what you think.
Demo a Kubota zd1511rl-60r
Test the Toro Grandstand, Wright Stander, and Exmark Vantage. And the Ferris standon mowers
Aaron Cover will be!
I have no experience with scag saving green lawn care doesn't like them. Cust service mostly I think. I bet they stripe well. We run walker and grasshopper. Walker good for what they do. Grasshoppers not bad. Like John Deere feel they get old fast. I like xmark. Interested in wright.
Oh yeah try them all
Join team SCAG I bought the V-ride 2 w/36" deck and I love it.
We really appreciate your business!
Plus Scag is the only company I know of that has serviceable spindles which is huge in the commercial mower world, plus the stripping of the scag is beautiful. I'm a devoted Scag fan from now on. I bought the V-ride 2 this past February, and the Tiger Cat 2 last September they are both awesome machines.
great video brother keep up the awesome work
Ty!
I have this mower and love it
Love my new stander. It is so nice being able to carry a blower on the mower so easily lol.
Southern Style Lawn Care ha nice!
Southern Style Lawn Care you got the 48 Deere stander right? If so why did you get that vs the 52? I’m demoing a 52 this week regular deck non mulch.
Check out a few different mowers to see what you like but if I were you I would go with the Scag!
I still haven’t tried out the vride 2. It does look like a nice mower.
You definitely should. You could make a great update video comparing the 2, I'm sure folks would appreciate that!
We have an older exmark and a 2017 tiger cat II. I am kicking myself a bit for not going stand on. I would like to demo a 36 inch v ride II to see how well the advantage deck is compared to the velocity. Hint hint Burdick Street.
If you send us some contact information we'd be happy to forward the demo request off to your Koula and the team at Burdick Street: www.scag.com/contactus.html
Wait until you get on the Turf Tiger, all other mowers will feel like a toy compared to it. I promise, you will be hooked on the Turf Tiger. Good video!
Good stuff
Turf tigers are awesome.
Wright stander
Really like these types of videos! If Ferris is close, you must try the Ferris Z2 and/or Z3X. I love my Ferris mowers
Soon!
I like John deer mowers and I'm looking in to a stand on mower and after watching you demo the scag v ride 2 I will look in to scags. I like the stripping. Thanks for this video man
SCutting Edge Lawn Service LLC You bet buddy
You see my instagram, scag all day man! Looking to pick up the 52” with an efi in the fall
See with all things this will boil down to dealer. if you have a crudy scag dealer this will be a nightmare. if you have an awesome dealer then willing to be its an awesome machine. i would demo the turf tiger II as well. but like others have said try to get a wright demo. top notch got one and saving green has two wrights and so far they seem to stripe really well
How well does it take hills ?
Not bad at all.
I've owned both it's a really tuff call who's better but I'd.. Say exmark has a deeper dek which helps a lot if u get anything I'd go with turn Tiger or cheetah.. Probably just stick with the lazer z.. Honestly anyway they are both at very top of ladder in cut quality basically just comes down to dealer support great video
Try out the toro grand stand
Ever used a Ransomes BobCat?
Bob Obarski nope
I was always all Exmark but I'm sorry Scag is where it's at way better mower way better striping. That's just my comment
Team scag baby
Hey Brian. Love the channel. Been watching your consumption of the various brands of mower demos and with my recent zero turn upgrade I wanted to share a couple thoughts from my experience.
First mower was a 2013 Toro Timecutter ss5000 50” stamped deck. Mowed with it four years.
Recently bought a Toro Titan HD 2500 52” fabricated deck.
Some things I heard about Scag from the of the shop I bought from was.
Scag makes a great product. But are like a Harley. They charge the prices they do because they feel they can. Almost like your buying into a club. I was also told they’re customer support is awful.
Mind you this shop sells Toro Exmark and Scag. And at the end of they day. They prefer to sell Toro because of the customer support, commercial lawn cutting reputation and they’re quality product.
Im looking forward to your review of the grandstand.
At the end of the day, whatever you choose should have a dealer close by for parts and repairs and good customer backing.
Thanks for the feedback pal, that's great!
I’m an Exmark guy through and through, but I’ve driven a newer grandstand on a lawn, and felt like I was racing a horse. I don’t know how fast the scag goes, but the grandstand went 10 mph I believe.
Major League Lawn Maintenance Nice! It’s gotta be close, 8-9 no problem.
Awesome vid
Good info! Thanks. Try to do a demo video on the new gravely pro stance. You should jump ship. I'm also exmark guy but then thought why am I only running exmarks? I get no deal on them...hmmm
Yeah... I feel ya. We'll have a ProStance demo here soon I believe!
Try out Hustler. I'd like to see what you think
Rented a Hustler X one the other day , I was impressed ! And it was a raggedty ole rental unit. I plan to try to demo on a new demo unit. Do you run Hustler ?
No but a lot of CZcams people have a old hustler.. saving green... Amdros.. and a few others but they never talk about why... I'm going to try a demo.
I briefly looked at an X - One today in between yards while I was out mowing. 60" deck with a Kaw V730 , 23hp goes for $ 8300.00 here in OKC.
Tell me about the Exmark stand on
Look up my Alex Lica video on his Vantage
Hey man I was the same way about scag . I run two scans right now but those Wright standers are a lil sweeter
Try the toro with the turbo force deck
Demo the turf tiger 2 it is a very nice machine
RMH & Son Landscaping Hopefully soon!
I would think about where you want your business to be. This mower i think is best suited for larger properties, areas where the customer doesn’t care if you discharge, areas where a fine finish is not needed. I mow small to medium residential properties and so that Mower would not be a good fit for me
I'd definitely invest in a chute blocker, whatever brand/type doesn't bother me. But for my sized properties this 52" was perfect. I feel the 61" would scalp on all my boulevards and wouldn't be as easy to finagle into tight spaces. It worked great honestly, very surprised how much I enjoyed the machine.
iv used both the turf tiger and the cheetah both great mowers try them both out!
Go for It!
I love my scag!!!the next thing i am trying to decide on is putting on the discharge scute, hurricane system or just leave it the way it is?
Try a Ferris
Try wright standerz
How close is the dealership from you that is a big factor for me . There is no scag dealer near me unless I wanna go to Atlanta
Thank you for you honest opinion, and for letting us see how scag considered your comments valuable. Every part of the country has it's different leaders, but scag proved they are willing and unashamed to show how they stack up against any leader, Thanks again
Stuart Spicer Agreed. Not a super popular brand up here but, that doesn’t mean they don’t make a good product. Every region is different like you said!
How do the standers compare to a sit down on hills/ inclines and traction in general? My Exmark 60" Pioneer gets stuck on flat ground LOL. It has very poor traction and it's quite annoying. Thank you
Pioneers are good but dated units I feel. Standers are great for hills, zero turns for wide open. Kind of my rule of thumb.
What time do you start work? And what did you do to advertise? How the heck did you do 30 plus yards in a day???? Omgosh!!!!!!!
Buy it
go scag mower
After using that type of stander its hard not to love it, they are just easy on you and super convenient to get on off picking things up ect. The one question you should ask is what is the maximum angle of hill that those engines can handle, i had thought about that because of steep hills and wasnt sure if it was getting enough lube. I never found and answer if forward and reverse or side to side will starve the engine. Just thinking about it makes me want to get one of those angle bubble references to stick on the machine to see how steep some properties are.
zerocool212121 to be honest all my stuff is flat. But that’s a good question/concern!
I’m the market for a stand up. Versatile, fast, wide decks, and ability to walk behind for steeper hills. Looks like this model loses the walk behind option with the safety being in foot platform??? Your thoughts?? Really need this feature
The big factor for me is how close the dealership is from me . There is no scag dealer in my area
Very true, same for me, a bit of a drive.
