Exmark or Scag?

[buster57]

What ZTR does the forum recommend between a 48" Scag or Exmark?

How long will the gas engine be expected to run before an overhaul? My JDs lasted about 1700 hours.

Any thoughts on engines? I like Kaw-anything better?

Thanks!

I have nothing but good things to say about my Scag ztr's. I have the Wildcat 27hp LQ with collection system and the Turf Tiger. The only problem I have had was a broken spring the first week with the Turf Tiger. Thier but like a tank. Good luck. I have demoed the Exmark and did like the machine as well.

I like scag -
I have never used an exmark but I was sold on the exmark at the dealer until I went to the Scag dealer and I bought it that day. Since than I have talked to a few people that traded in the exmark for a Scag or wished they could. The Exmarks are cheaper I think

Exmark hands down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!! Only people that has never used Exmark would disagree!! "Once you go Exmark you never go back"

Equipment is only as good at the maintenance you perform on it. That said, I have no experience with Scag, but I would favor Exmark in your position. Great mowers, you won't be disappointed.

It's likely a complete toss up. Both are good.

I know Scag had issues a few years ago with their ZTR's, but I believe that's all been fixed.

I would buy either one without hesitation.

I'll go with the supplier with the best service. My Kubota dealer sells the Exmark so they have a definite advantage for now.
I need to do a lot more home work.
Thanks!

Go with the Scag if you have a good dealer.

This thread just proves opinions are like azzes, everyone has one, but everyone thinks everyone else's stinks.

It's a push. They're both great mowers. It'll be of no consequence to choose one over the other.
