EXMARK/SCAG COMPARISON LIKE IT OR NOT -JUST FACTS

[@tonyviers-de9qi]

The exmark body plastic components and way the battery is put in looks so cheap. The scag is well put together and makes the exmark look really bad.

[@rayrayslawnlandscape2008]

What way is the battery put in? Very easy to get too - never had any issues with the battery placement. Where would suggest they put it? Are you looking at the Xseries exmark or the S and E series?

My first year running a SCAG and I love it, but I'm 6'4 so I completely understand where you're coming from here! The oil change is a nightmare like you said! Grass always getting behind the brake and not allowing it to engage. Definitely thinking about giving an eXmark a try.

I understand the gripe about the scag, but everything we buy will not be 100% to our liking. I love my turf tiger 2 but i also know that exmark is top tier. Also having a damn good scag dealer is what also sold me to buy one which is my second turf tiger.

[@troyhickman8577]

Thanks for the video! In 2003 I had the Turf Tiger 60", I really don't recall having many issues with it and I'm 6'2 @230lbs. For the last six years I've been running a Hustler Hyperdrive 60" and I hands-down prefer it in every way to the Turf Tiger. I don't know how it stacks up to the Exmark but I will say it's been pretty much trouble free with the exception of a sticking choke cable that I replaced. It hugs slopes like nobody's business, smooth control sticks, very comfortable and it's crazy fast. I would like to demo a comparable Exmark!

[@rayrayslawnlandscape2008]

The hustler mowers are great builds

The ex mark seat, allows for expansion. The seat, not everyone is six feet tall, you have the Drag for vertically challenged skinny people, and ExMark is for your slightly taller and heavier operator.

Can’t you just hit an impact on the top bolts on a scag and the bolt an blades drop out the bottom, then just stick bolt back in with blade an hit it with impact? Shouldn’t it take like 2-3 minutes doing it that way?

[@dwanger2007]

@@rayrayslawnlandscape2008 I do it on my Tiger Cat 2 just fine 🤷🏻‍♂️. Unless it’s a slightly different setup. I don’t own a Turf Tiger so idk but I just lift the mower. Pop the top nuts with impact, drop the blades out bottom, put the spacer an blades on the bolt, then stick it back through the spindle. Sometimes I gotta use a short stubby wrench to hold a little back up pressure but some times it just grips and tightens. I do it pretty dang quick. If I didn’t have a Scag I would own an eXmark. In my opinion those are the best two machines on the market. I enjoy watching your videos, motivates me to grow my side hustle some more. 🤙

Oil change on my Exmark easy. I don't have top of line mower jus 14:49 t a Pioneer Take care

[@amosdarnall6865]

I own a Scag tiger cat, v ride and an Exmark radius. In my experience the scags cut far, far better in poor conditions (wet, weeds, tall grass) On a nice, treated, dry yard the Radius cuts fantastic, but anything else it can struggle. I also prefer changing the blades on the scag because I can do it from the top vs crawling under the mower. But, the scags have way more grease points and are not as easy to change the oil as the Exmark. All in all they are both good brands and I love all 3 of my mowers but each have their pros and cons.

[@rayrayslawnlandscape2008]

But you still have to crawl under the scag to put the blades back on so that's another step.The radius mower is way under powered compared to the lazer Z X series mowers I have.

[@frankcerne1553]

You took a lot of time to do the comparison between the scag and exmark and it was helpful. I went with a gravely 152 pro turn. When I look at my scag I see a couple really annoying things. When you mentioned about the welding the nut on top I didn’t understand what you were talking about until I remember changing my blades and the bitch of trying hold the blade underneath and then trying to put the nut on top to secure it. With my gravely I can blow the grass right through the deck and not have tons of grass build up because of the pulley guards that actually build grass up that caused me to have belt jumps in the past. The cut probably the same. Power and sped is good. I also found on my scag because of what maybe I feel is poor engineering is that the engine area is so tight the grass build up and is difficult to blow out. Maybe just me. I can see gravely and exmark spent money on quality and maybe scag is more for show. Well safe cutting to you and thanks again.

[@rayrayslawnlandscape2008]

Yes, great observations.And I had a lot of people like I'm just telling a lie I mean everything I said in the video are things that bothered me about the scag.

[@americafirst4435]

Totally agree with everything you say about the scag, I was really on the fence about a new TT2. Ive actually done a lot of research on every commercial zero turn mower out there and with what you like in a zero turn is exactly what I look for, and if your like me there’s only about 3 out there and that’s Exmark, Hustsler Hyperforce, and the Dixie Chopper. Maybe Jon Deere, we all know every commercial zero turn has to be unique and to do that we really should put them in the right category for their prospective differences. I like how you have your likes because they’re a lot like mine. You know what that say about honesty, keep it up!!!!!!

I have been a hard core SCAG guy for 20 years. After the last walk behind that I had repetitive brake issues and a cracked frame that I had to pay 90% of the cost I am changing.

You can talk about seat comfort, blade changing, and all that non sense. But the Scag Turf Tiger Rules with the shaft drive. You can also flip the long bolts for the blades, without having to dirt dob some "welds". Just be sure and use lock washers behind the nut . Turf Tiger has steel fenders, not bs plastic. And anybody who's concerned about grass coming thru the fender well, better not cut grass on windy days. Turf Tiger has a steel gas tank, not pansy plastic. Exmark would make a great boat anchor though.

[@rayrayslawnlandscape2008]

It's funny You say all that! But I got an eXmark from 2014. I got 1 from 2019 With a plastic gas tank and never have one issue! My bobcat has a plastic gas tank. I don't know if you knew this, but plastic don't rust..

[@rayrayslawnlandscape2008]

Well, if you look at the engineering of the drive shaft, the drive shaft still turns a belt. So you still have a belt that will break. You must be a scag guy and never had an exmark. The drive shaft is just another freaking grease port.

Exmark did not offer that- It was 25 hp in the e series or the S series (smaller hydro pumps as well) I wanted a exmark lazer Z X series with 52 inch and the Kawasaki 921 on it. Scag had a TT2 with 52 and a 31 vanguard on it with the big pumps so i got that. I was extremely disappointed from the very start. I tried to trade it back in when it only had 12 hrs on it and they would only give me $9k on a trade in.. Dealer told me to put 500-600 hrs on it and i would get $8500 on a trade in so thats how it went down.

[@circletrack8375]

If I had the money to buy that scag I would pull it off the trailor and run it right into the lake and leave it there

[@michaelkirks3012]

Excellent video. “Thanks”

[@rayrayslawnlandscape2008]

Thank u Share it if u don't mind

[@dalewiley9208]

Great job.

[@jasonmichel1946]

exmark lol... Scag beats it in every single metric down here in FL, especially in cut quality. Just a looking at the condition of those machines tells me what I need know.

[@rayrayslawnlandscape2008]

What metrics are u talking about? The condition of these machines ? Not sure what that means but ok - After all they are lawn mowers and i know you keep yours squeaky clean looking all pretty - my machines are earners period.. You prolly never even owned a exmark lazer z X series. Ignorant Folks always coming in the comments making comments about things they know nothing about..Dont show everyone how ignorant you are. Im showing you the difference bro ! SHOW ME DIFFERENT-Show me what "metric" your talking about. My metric is i spend $18k on mower make $220k off that mower and do it again! Pretty simple really! Dont step to a strait G like me with all that talk - at least im SHOWING you. You on the other hand are just another looser in the comments

[@tedm4932]

Not sure if anyone knows but Exmark is a division of the TORO Company.

[@whalerlife53]

Not interested in any commercial equipment that has large amounts of plastic on it.

[@rayrayslawnlandscape2008]

Right, I have four exmarks machines. one of them has 3500 hrs still running. 2500 on another one. I have never had any issue with any plastic part !one mower I have had since 2014. Too much steel on a lawn mower is not good. It makes it too heavy and then you just sink.

[@rayrayslawnlandscape2008]

It's not like the deck is plastic only thing plastic is the side piece cup holder. And the gas tank. All mowers have a plastic gas tank.

[@rayrayslawnlandscape2008]

Oh and FYI the scag mower is metal junk.. I hated the scag. I would get a ferris before I got a scag. But all the mowers are gonna have plastic dude

[@votered1552]

Put your legs out against the foot, that’s why it’s there

[@rayrayslawnlandscape2008]

That mower was by far the worst mower I've ever had. It's trash compared to an exmark. It's not even in the top five mowers to me

[@rayrayslawnlandscape2008]

I keep my leg on the foot deck pedal.

[@charlieking6640]

And three years Scag , only I blow my mower off after every job or every few jobs and never have a problem with grass. I don’t understand this video take that hat off. Lol

[@rayrayslawnlandscape2008]

So I guess your gonna tell me your brake works flawlessly on your Scab

[@lionlegacy6652]

DLT lawncare youtube channle recently compared a scag vride 2 vs the Toro Grandstand. Scag wins according to Dr. Real.

[@rayrayslawnlandscape2008]

I saw that- I don't run stand on mowers

great video and truth thats how i compare

[@Bearclaw_Jake]

I tried to like scag, but im so tall they always felt like a clown car. I buy toro/grasshopper products and happy with them. Scag is goofy, with a cult following.

[@rayrayslawnlandscape2008]

Yeah if you're tall dude the scag will really feel tiny

You’re not in the same boat because you’re not a Scag person you’re not in the Scag family Scag for life Scag only

You prolly never even owned a exmark Lazer z xseries! I have owned both- so please don't make yourself look stupid by pretending to know what a real G is diubg out here

[@tylerhunt9172]

Both mowers are good but I prefer the Scag they will out strip anything on the market

[@tylerhunt9172]

And you can just use the impact on the top bolts and then they come right off but compared to the exmark they're more difficult to remove but the Scag will out strip anything on the market

[@rayrayslawnlandscape2008]

Yes they do stripe that fescue nice . I don't do any fescue yards The exmark is a lot more comfortable and cuts just as nice on all the bermuda I cut

[@dh4094]

$8600 for a used 52"? Nope

Your hating on scag, but you have a scag hat on?🤣

[@rayrayslawnlandscape2008]

Again - just SHOWING THE FACTS. Scag has some cool swag- even their mowers are the prettiest on the market. That ain't got nothing to do with the review

[@MilesG6010]

True that…

After looking very closely at these 2 … the exmark looks like cheap chinese garbage. I guess you get a really nice cut though

[@rayrayslawnlandscape2008]

Well, they're not made in China So that's one thing I got 1 machine that has 3500 hours and still running. I have another machine that has 2500 hours and still running.

@@rayrayslawnlandscape2008 i realize that. I’m just giving my opinion what they look like. I know there are probably more pros that ise them than any other. That doesn’t change how they look

I'm just saying, SCAG sucks! I do not run Exmark either, but I would have Exmark over Scag all day long. I run Gravely mowers and love them. I have had Scag and will not, I SAID WILL NOT have another one. Thanks for the videos Ray!!!

You do realise you took pretty much 2 minutes just to jack up the deck on the scag? The blade changing comparison was terrible.

@Bizzo1289 come on man. There is a huge difference! If you can't be honest with yourself there is no point even commenting You have to Jack the scag up higher. You have to hold the nut on top to get it off or on! Considering I have owned both of them I should know. You probably have never owned an exmark laser z x series... It seems kind of ridiculous to make a statement When you've never owned one. It kind of makes you look uninformed. But that's okay-That's what i'm here for! TO inform you
