ZERO-TURN RIDING MOWERS

Zero-turn riding mowers have numerous advantages that make them the go-to mower for larger properties. Scag offers six different zero-turn mowers that are suited to different lot sizes and terrains, from budget options ideal for homeowners to beasts that can take on the biggest fields. Despite their size, zero-turn mowers are surprisingly agile and can turn on even less than a dime, letting their operators create the long, luxurious stripes of a well-manicured lawn. Scag mowers are built with an emphasis on comfort and durability, meaning operators and their machines can last for the long haul.

 

TURF TIGER II

 

The Turf Tiger II is the priciest Scag mower but delivers fearsome performance worthy of its name. It can achieve ground speeds of up to 12 mph moving forward and 5 mph in reverse.

WHAT'S THE BEST SCAG MOWER FOR THE MONEY?

Your needs largely determine which of the many Scag mowers is best for your money. Those looking for a mower for their home or for light landscaping usage will have different priorities than someone who needs one for a ranch or golf course. If you are looking for a mower to tend to your home's lawn, then the Scag Liberty Z is the obvious choice. If you run a small landscaping company, then the Scag Patriot will probably satisfy your needs at a price that is hard to beat.

If you're in the market for a top of the line, commercial mower, then deciding between the Cheetah and Turf Tiger II depends upon what you're planning to mow. If you want a speed-demon mower that can work its way through flat land quickly, then the Cheetah is well-suited for you. If you want an incredibly durable and versatile mower capable of handling tough sloping grades with ease, then the Turf Tiger is the way to go.
