These SCAG Patriots are about 10,000 dollar after taxes and I just made a deal with a guy to get his brand new SCAG 52 inch with bagging system, new extra blades and weight system in the front with only 64 hours on it for 6,000 cash.

I'm still waiting for you to make a whole video on the Fiskars reel mower.

hi, may you know how many cuts per meter it does? If not maybe wheel diameter and cuts per full wheel rotate?

Where’d you buy the roller?

So cool! Just picked up this mower with bag, used, so I definitely want to do this mod soon.

I just got a McLane today for free. No catcher, no gas cap, tank is rusty, but it has spark. I also got a tiller that needs about the same amount of work. Now if I only had the time to work on them. 😂

Well done! Very informative and appreciate your honest opinion! I must mention most of all, is the updates you performed on the deck height pedal and installing the deck baffle kit is truly a big thumbs up!

Could you tell me the part # for the mulch kit & could you post a picture of the kit installed

I see you have the Fiskars also. I bought that at beginning of the year. I’m almost 60 and I’m tired of pushing it through my now very thick Bermuda.

My Rolux 20” arrives in 2 days. Be my first Petrol Reel mower. 9 blade Honda. Much excited. Looks like you got a great deal there. I looked on FB marketplace for a while but nothing in my area. Buying new.

How do you sharpen those blades and how often.

I have the same issue with the deck height being too far away. Did you have to add that metal piece or can you just flip the arm around and put the spring back on? Also, I am not finding the link to that video. Can you please link or post as I would like to do the same to my Patriot? Thank you,

I have a 21 scag its got about a 180 hours on it iv had it serviced once a year now it runs a few minutes and dies let it set for awhile an it will start an run an then same thing dies what is it when its running runs great up till then

Check out the modification for gear ratio that High Performance Lawn Reel Mowers did: th-cam.com/video/rEYq0kba4ug/w-d-xo.htmlsi=oaxHbjLMMBbCNQZZ

Which one needs blade sharpening more frequently?

Does that have the advantage cutting deck

I had a Gravely 48” proturn before I purchased the scag. Zero issues with the gravely in 6 years. Patriot shows up and use it once and the right Hydro was leaking. Almost two month at the dealer and finally getting it back today.

Do you like the Fiskars grass catcher? I'm seeing the stand alone price of $87. Coupled with the Amazon price of $267 for the mower, we're talking about $350+!

Is the vibration on the patriot bad ? Can you feel a lot of vibration

Great job. Thanks.

Nice review

What is the size of the metal you used for the mower deck paddle?

Good video. Thank you.

So you like the scag better than the gravely? I’ve been thinking about buying a new zt hd 52.. but there’s a low hour(50hr) patriot by me for 7k.. on the fence.

Porque el scag Freedom Z 26.0 gross HP , se apaga cuándo quitó el freno de mano?

🙏🏽amen same experience GO Scag !!

Can i ask what you paid for it before the mods

Could I take the chute off if I have the mulch kit on?

Great video! I'm a mower nerd and have always wanted to try one of these. Might be my next toy I get. Thanks for the "reel" life review.

Just picked up our SCAG Freedom so far its a nice machine.

For peeps watching, Fiskar says not to rinse off with water and you should dry off the mower as best as possible, so there is some upkeep with it. You can use a compressor to clean and dry it. Love my mower ❤

i got a fiskars and i thought it was broke cause it was so quiet. but nope. cuts fine.

@turnertv nice video, where did you get your baffle/blowout kit? I just got a patriot 52" myself and there is a ton of blowout from the font and side.

Just ordered mine off Amazon - let’s go

What part of Texas? Are you cutting Bermuda? I’m in Georgetown

This is THE video I was looking for - Fiskar’s it is!

Thanks for the video. I'll be getting my 2023 Patriot 61 inch with kawasaki motor delivered tomorrow. I'll be looking for a baffle for the front now that you pointed it out for me. Thanks

I brought a Scag in 2021 with a 52” deck and I have not had any issues with my paint peeling. This mower is a tank and I love it.

Very thorough, and great video, thanks for all the information-hopefully will be getting my hands on a 260 within 2 weeks

I bought a Scag Patriot new in 2020. My 52" deck paint is also peeling off pretty badly. I bought some Scag orange spray paint and touch it up every season as best I can. Agree that it's built like a tank and performs quite well on my 1.75 acre rural lawn. However, I had a really frustrating issue right from the beginning that my dealer failed to correct for 2 years. My Kawasaki engine kept backfiring and I couldn't figure out why. I always use ethanol free marine fuel so that wasn't the cause. After 2 years of me complaining, the Dealer finally witnessed it themselves so they investigated and got it corrected. But 2 years of backfiring on a brand new, high dollar Scag was very surprising and disappointing. That said, I really love the machine and recommend it!

Put up a vid on hydro fluid/filter change. Just bought that same mower with 200hrs. Need to do a deep clean and tune up.

Good information thank you for posting. Purchased a 2023 Patriot mower with the Briggs and Stratton motor based on managers suggestion especially since I will add a catcher soon. Ric

Que tipo de césped tienes???

P metric tires are more for passenger vehicles, that's the P. Do these handle well on your truck with a load? I got the same tire but the 10 ply E rated and they are great except I lost mpg.

Got a Scag 30 got good Points and bad points

Just got a JD22 greens mower. What oil spec is used in transmission case?

Your yard is as flat as a billiard! Since I live in Costa Rica we have a local species called “sweet grass” it’s probably what you call carpet grass and Saint Augustine. I use my Scott’s 16” twice or thrice a week! But I’m looking forward for a Fiskar’s. My Craftsman Honda rotary mower sees a lot less action these days!

I run my Scotts with the blade barely, just BARELY, off of the bed knife, which makes a hug e difference in effort required, noise level and has a beatiful cut. I've been curious about the Fiskars. Some of their stuff is matchless (their post hole diggers for example) and some of their stuff, not so much. Thanks for posting!

Hiw many times you sharpen blades so far??

Do you attach bagger?
