How It's Made: Scag Spindles

[@detailedlawnservices3971]

Keep content coming in 2019. I know some of the factory stuff can't be filmed, but Scag could really benefit from having an approachable team, and a brand presence among the lawn care community. You guys put out a great product, and now the brand just needs a fresh face! I rock a V-Ride2 myself

I bought a Scag Vride 48" in 2016. Then I saw Ed Wright's presence on You Tube and thought how cool is that to see a face with the brand. So i was in the market for another mower and although I was perfectly happy with my Vride, I went and bought a smaller stander but remembered Ed Wright.....so I bought a Wright stander. Both great mowers but seeing Ed's face with the name made a huge impact on where i was going to buy my next commercial mower.

Awesome video. Great to see how those are made. Automation is very mesmerizing to watch.

Very fun machine to watch. Typically we'll spend a good amount of time in the spindle area during our West Bend tours.

When do they put the sand in the bearings ?

I have a 61" tiger cat being delivered today. I hope it lives up to the confidence I am starting out with

In Japan the same machine brings you sushi to your table

[@ScagPowerEquipment]

Maybe we can set this up to run some sushi for us for lunch!

Today I purchased a brand new scag from my dealer. When I got home I noticed the spindles were all rusted. Is this normal?

[@ScagPowerEquipment]

This would be something to check in with your local Scag dealer on. Shouldn't be an issue.

hello someone can help me I have a scag v ride I feel like I lost strength and it's not fast

[@ScagPowerEquipment]

Good Morning Andres, we might suggest getting your machine back to your local dealer to take a look at it in person and help get that machine running right

Wonder if this is why we’ve been experiencing problems, bought a TC2 last year all the spindles had to be replaced and now all are leaking grease from the bottom seal (650hrs on the machine). Scag still hasn’t reimbursed my dealer for replacing the spindles himself since they wouldn’t cover it at the time. This year bought a Cheetah and at 65 hrs grease is already coming from the bottom seal. Honestly just want my money back for Cheetah, paid for the “best” but didn’t get it.

Good Morning Zack, Below is a link to our customer contact form. Please feel free to fill that out with your contact info and machine serial number and our technical service team will be sure to follow up and see what assistance can be offered.

Update, scag only replaced one spindle on the cheetah with only 64 hrs on it. Dealer greased the spindles (they have already been greased twice so more than the recommended 40hrs). Dealer then ran the mower for a few minutes and pulled it in the shop to look a all the spindles only was actively leaking, keep in mind all of them already have grease past the seals just like our TCII. Scag refused to do anything about the other 2 spindles. This mower mainly mows larger properties allowing the spindles to get much hotter than a “test” that’s a mere few minutes. WITH THERE ALREADY BEING GREASE PAST THE SEALS ON THE OTHER 2 SPINDLES THERES OBVIOUSLY AN ISSUE. Dealt with this all last year with our TCII last year even with the replaced spindles do this, really hinders our bottom line having to grease the spindles every 12-15 hrs instead of every 40 hrs. We use more than double the grease that should be required and also wasting our time doing so.

[@zacksmith8618]

Could you please resend the customer contact form, link wouldn’t work. Would be nice to get some help since our area rep isn’t wanting resolve the issue......
