The Scag SWZ - Hydro-Drive Walk-Behind

The Scag SWZ Zero Turn Walk Behind Mower is the number one choice of professional cutters like you. Its outstanding quality, dependability and performance will put you a step ahead of your competition.

Dual hydraulic pumps and cast-iron wheel motors allow independent, positive power to each wheel. With counter-rotation turning, one wheel moves forward while the other moves backward, minimizing scuffed turf and increasing maneuverability in heavily landscaped areas.

With our exclusive Advantage™ and Velocity Plus™ cutter decks, you will get the perfect cut, the first time, every time. Talk to your Scag dealer today about how an SWZ can add to your bottom line.
