Any opinions on a Scag V ride?

Please get a video of the test ride!!

 

Poor picture quality, but this is the standard setup on newer machines.
Took these at work this morning
The 2 white fan blades are where the belt drives the pump on each side. They are integral to the transaxle.
These are tuff torque brand
The second picture I tried to get a side view to so how it's 1 unit. Different mower, but same transaxle

 

So a hydro drive unit...totally different that some that have a single pump driving 2 wheel motors.
This is what I'm always harping about on more homeowner grade units to make sure the hydros are at least serviceable (can change oil/filter...the sealed ones are pretty light duty!

 

It's good, don't worry about it. Sincerely the Marketing department




Seriously people, they need to do better, people are default all the nuances about why this machine costs 500-1k more than others, and when their own website doesn't clear it up. All the manufacturers of mowers are like this. It's pizz poor.

My apologies to anyone working in marketing, but details matter.

 

Yep. Totally different than what your machine has and this Scag has vs what was just posted which is transaxles. Wheel motors and a pump (or two?) are different than transaxles. Wheel motors and pumps can be rebuilt, but probably will never need to unless run commercially and a lot, while the transaxles are less so, especially the sealed non serviceable ones.

 

The scag he's looking at is a commercial machine I believe.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
I know if no commercial machine that uses homeowner grade lawn tractor style axles.
All I've ever seen have been hydro drive units.
All the new ones have been this integrated style I've pictured

 

Screwloose don’t know your size; cousin is 6 foot 9 and his brother 6’6 and 320 minimum
Run a landscape business.. you want bigger units but you’ll fit. They use exmark

 

6'4 currently in the 390's. Just worried is all......same worry I get sitting on a picnic table when people on the other side get up.

 

I have lived this same fear!
