The Scag SFW - Belt-Drive Walk-Behind

Long a fundamental element of any commercial cutter fleet, the belt-drive walk-behind continues to prove its worth through its simple design and efficient operation. Expanding upon its already successful lineup, Scag has now developed a lighter-weight walk-behind that is priced right.

The 4-speed transmission features 9-spline coupler construction for added durability and longevity. And with a floating cutter deck, simple cutting height adjustment system, and low-maintenance design, Scag has further enhanced this mower's ease-of-use.

The SFW is primarily designed for entry-level commercial use, but rest assured it is built to live up to Scag's solid reputation of dependable performance, year after year. We invite you to learn more about the productive and convenient features of the SFW, and how it can help maximize your profitability.

Scag Owner in
Ashburn VA 		"I am proud of what I do to make money, and am proud to have Scag Equipment. When everybody else was buying the poor man's mower, I bought the best. I've owned the same Scag mower for 13 years and still say it is the best."
Scag Owner in
Springfield NJ 		"We have some Scag belt-drives in our fleet that are twelve years old and still running. They require less maintenance than other machines, they're easy to grease, and we don't have to worry about the belts. They cut better than others in the rain. Scag is the best machine on the market."
Scag Owner in
Naperville IL 		"We made the switch to Scag mowers in 1991. We were looking for a midsize walk-behind mower that was built to last, produced a quality result, economical to maintain, easy to use and reasonably priced. Five of the six original mowers we purchased in 1991 are still in use today!"
