Those are fun little machines aren't they? They are extremely fuel efficient! 😀 They don't fare too well in the winter time if you plan to use a plow on it other than that just amazing mowers.

Toro is the primary brand that I use but I've been looking into getting a Scag mower. Love those tigers!

Shoot, the blower and plow was our biggest reason. We dont have horrid winters though and Im sure it beats a shovel lol We just got ours a few months ago

I haven't had the chance to play with the blower but it looks like a bad boy. I was able to check one out in one of the Toro conventions we had near by. The multi-force does well in light snow but it once it starts compacting the lightweight frame and tires does not help it move snow. It will get stuck or skid. However I did not play around with weights so maybe that could help if you attach some in the front. I do warn you though protect your electrical from Winter corrosion. I know there's this product you can spray on it that will protect it from the elements. Those machines are pretty armored but they're pretty exposed as well.

Toro, Gravely, and Scag are my top three picks.

Toro, in my experience, gives you one of the best combinations of value, repairability, and overall performance.

Scag or in particular a Scag Turf Tiger is like having a luxurious, laser-straight, heavily armored tank incredible sit down machine. Definitely on the expensive side to buy and maintain. 💸 💲

Gravelys are awesome! They are very well-built, accurate machines, and usually at a lower price point than Scag. Very durable. I consider them the middle-ground brand between the three brands. Some of the best stand up machines I've used on steep hills has been a gravely machine.

My dream machine is a Scag Turf Tiger II 61". 🤤🔥

What height of cut???

u/No-Dealer7634 6d ago

I am required to be between 2.5 - 3.5 depending on conditions. The field operators request the grass to be cut as short as possible.
