  • Heavy-duty hydraulic drive system includes dual 16cc Hydro-Gear pumps, and Parker Ross wheel motors for reliable, Zero Turn maneuverability. Hydro-Gear 16cc hydraulic pumps provide smooth, positive and reliable power to the drive wheels. Extra large input bearing, input shaft and internal components add to reliability and performance. Built-in pressure relief valves reduce internal pressure spikes and add to pump life. Big Block models feature cooling fans mounted directly to the pumps providing additional cooling for added pump life.
  • Auxiliary hydraulic oil coolers keep oil temperatures within a safe operating level and adds to hydraulic system component life.
  • Up to 12 MPH forward speeds and 5 MPH reverse speeds keep productivity at a maximum.
  • Driveshaft driven cutter deck eliminates belt slip and provides increased reliability and longevity compared to a belt drive system.
  • Heavy-duty blade drive spindles provide reliable performance season after season. The Scag spindle easily handles the high horsepower and torque requirements of this powerful mower. Three year limited warranty.
  • Choose from a 61" or 72" Velocity Plus™ cutter deck. When matched with a 35hp Briggs Vanguard air-cooled V-twin engine, you'll have one serious mowing machine!
  • Standard equipment auxiliary canister air filter system on all Turf Tigers. This provides increased service intervals and longer engine life.
  • Hydraulic oil cooler is mounted in front of the engine air cooling intake for maximum airflow and heat dissipation.
  • Single fuel tank, 10 gallon capacity keeps you in the field cutting grass.Fuel tank is positioned low, in the center of the machine, adding to the mower's low center-of-gravity and excellent hillside stability. Fill up in the morning and cut all day long.
  • Double tube steel main frame construction delivers superior strength and ensures years of trouble free service. This design is much stronger than "bolt together" frame designs. The main frame was designed for an ultra-low center-of-gravity to increase hillside stability.
  • The Ogura GT3.5 PTO Clutch Brake delivers 350 ft. lbs. of massive starting and stopping torque. Adjustable airgap ensures long component life.
  • Easily adjust cutting heights from the seat with the convenient, easy to lift, 3-position adjustable foot pedal. Wide range of adjustment from 1" to 6" in 1/4" increments (21 different cutting height settings).
  • Custom-Cut Baffle allows you to customize the cutter deck to your individual cutting conditions.
  • Deck leveling adjustment bracket allows for easy in-the-field deck leveling adjustment.
  • Command-Comfort Operator's Station provides unmatched fatigue-fighting comfort. Quick-Fit control levers, torsion spring suspension seat, and 3-position deck lift foot pedal combine to provide unprecedented levels of adjustability and ergonomics.
  • Quick-Fit steering control levers with dual dampers for smooth, precise responsiveness. Steering levers are adjustable to fit a wide range of operator sizes, increasing operator comfort.
  • Suspension seat with cushioned armrests is adjustable to individual operator weights for improved ride, increased support and reduced operator fatigue.
  • Convenient cup holder keeps beverage securely in place and within easy reach.
  • Extra large 24 inch drive tires and 13 x 6 - 6 caster tires ensure better traction, less turf tearing and easy curb climbing.
  • Flat-Free front caster tires virtually eliminate downtime and expense caused by flat front tires.
  • Tapered roller bearings are utilized in the front caster wheels and in the caster pivots for durability and reduced maintenance.
  • "Split-Steel" pulleys are used on load carrying areas like the cutter deck spindles and pump drive systems. Split steel pulleys are stronger than cast iron or stamped pulley designs. Our pulleys are strong for long life and lightweight for reduced inertia and decreased wear on the cutter deck drive system.
  • No plastic pulleys - Some [other brands] actually use plastic pulleys on their mowers. Not Scag. All Scag pulleys are made from metal. Plastic is for toys.
  • High-quality bearings and bearing debris guards on idler pulleys ensure long, reliable service.
  • Operator friendly instrument panel includes an ammeter, ignition switch, mower engagement switch, water temperature gauge (liquid-cooled engines only), separate choke and throttle controls. The hour meter is conveniently located at the rear of mower near the engine.
  • User-friendly mower design allows quick, clean access to the engine and filters, for easy maintenance. Rear access panel exposes self adjusting PTO, and hydraulic pump drive belts.
  • Spring loaded idler arms effortlessly keep belts in constant adjustment for maximum life and minimum maintenance.
  • Excellent hillside stability due to an exceptionally low center-of-gravity and extra wide stance.
  • The Scag "Simply the Best" commercial warranty stands behind you and your mower for years of profitable service.
  • Marbain cutter blades stay sharp longer for reduced maintenance.
  • High quality electrical components such as switches, wiring and harness looms are used throughout the Scag mower line for trouble-free service.

  • Digital SmartSense hour meter displays maintenance reminders to help ensure that routine service is completed.

"Scag mowers are money makers because we have less breakdowns and our mowing time has been cut in half. Our mechanic says it is the most rugged and durable machine he has ever worked on.
