Peanut is 11 years old now, he's a good boy 🐶 Thanks for commenting 😊

Yes, it's not like the one in St Paul where you have to pay a fee. If you know where Lions Tap is located. It's right down the road.

@@ImJusSha there are many ways to answer this. Electric is a good choice for half an acre (approx. 100'x100') or less for regular grass mowing. If you have a lot of leaves to mulch in the fall, a gas powered machine would be a better choice.

@@astralisoffthechain8588 the mower in this video had a defective part, I returned it the next day and bought one that worked.

My wife won't run a gas mower and she wants to help mow our property. The Scag is working well.

I'm still happy with it for the most part. Now that the engine is broke in, it's much easier to start. Started on 2nd pull the other day, that was a first. I mowed with it for around 2 hours, it was quite the workout on my hilly uneven ground. It mulches great even with a dull blade. It seems to use a lot less fuel than I thought it might with all the power it has. That's what comes to mind at the moment

Definitely, I easily get back the membership fee every year in rebates. Besides all the savings. 👍

@@SteenerBernardWhat are your thoughts on it now?

@@LilKim67 I'm happy I returned it the next day after it didn't work right. I bought a Milwaukee that works perfectly

I'm just guessing but it sounds like your batteries / battery went bad. They can't charge enough causing them to only work for a few minutes. I'm sure new batteries aren't cheap. Sorry to hear this is happening

Same issue with mine!!!

Sorry to hear you had this problem like me, mine happened right out of the box. So I returned it the next day. Costco has a very generous return policy, you might get lucky and get to return it. I returned a Shark vacuum that was 4 years old.

I took it back to Costco and got my money back. They tried to have me get another one, I declined and got a refund. The one I got had a short in the wiring and didn't trust the next unit would be good. I got a Milwaukee mower on sale and it has worked flawlessly

Which model number was that one? I do know green works had more than one dual battery 60v self propelled mowers. I've got one and it's a little different from your's, and so far it's worked every time I needed it to. My only complaint on mine is the angle of the discharge shute and not having a bag when I bought it. Mine was on clearance, a returned unit at tractor supply for maybe $250? I don't remember the exact cost.

​@@gta5grindzxb145 I don't recall the model number. I only owned it one day. I wasn't interested in trying to get it to work only to have it completely fail after the warranty. I hope yours lasts many years 😊

I never installed the hour meter, I never found the perfect spot. I would of had to drill holes in something to mount it securely. Wasn't crazy about that.

I am new to making videos for TH-cam, since making this video I have purchased a wireless mic. Thank you for your input

I haven't done an oil change yet. It's not easy cross referencing the oil filters, was looking for a way around the expensive factory filter. I'm not positive about the correct drain plug. Mines in winter storage or I'd look and give you my opinion.

@@SteenerBernard Thanks for responding back. Were you able to determine the part number for the factory oil filter? I don't see it listed in either the Kohler owner's or the service manual. How expensive is it?

@@StilettoSniper The 7hp Kohler Command PRO CV224 uses a 055-920 Oil Filter from what I found. Stens makes a filter that fits also, On Amazon it's Stens High-Capacity Kohler 52 050 02-S. I can't guarantee my research is correct since I haven't bought one yet. Filters are priced from around $11 to over $20

Thanks for the feedback. I have the Toro 22297 model (same as yours only no BBC). I wanted to get another 21 inch but the Toro 21" commercials have gotten so expensive where I live up in Canada. This new Scag is a little cheaper but has way more power with that Kohler engine. I was concerned about the weight as the Toro weighs 120-125 lbs while this Scag comes in at 145 lbs which is the same weight as a Toro Timemaster. Based on your experiences, it seems like the weight isn't much of an issue. How have you found the machine to be in terms of cutting....bagging and mulching especially in wet thick grass.....better or worse than the Toro. Thank You.

I could write a very long response to this, the Milwaukee and Scag have nothing in common except 21" mowing width. Milwaukee : Light weight, easy to maneuver, low maintenance, easy to store, easy to access blades (folds for storage exposing blades), simple operation (my wife volunteers to mow with it) , extremely quite, speed control is excellent, slow to very fast. decent run time with 12ah batteries on low power mode, Doesn't mow or mulch as good as my gas mowers (Scag & Honda) but it comes with low drag blades that extend battery life. There are a few stragglers and leaves are bigger pieces. This year I think I'll buy mulching blades too see if mowing performance improves. In it's defence I've never mowed with it on high power mode. Should do this to see how long batteries last and if it cuts better. Can't mow all day unless you have several big batteries (batteries work in pairs) I bought the Scag because hydro transmission on my 22 year old Honda was slipping on inclines. I've had a little buyers remorse with the Scag. It's hard to maneuver because it's so heavy. Mine is hard to start when cold (removing air filter and blocking intake with my wife's hand while I pull the cord is ridiculous) the choke must not work or needs adjusting. Mine came with fuel line installed on top of off switch preventing it from starting at all when I first got it, I should post the video. The good part is you can mow and mulch all day and not worrry about finishing. It stripes great and with only one blade, mulching is surprising good. It holds grass and leaves up in the deck and works at it until there's almost nothing left. That turned out to be a negative last fall. The 7hp engine is so powerful, the BBC (blade brake clutch) will slip before engine will stall, found this out mulching wet leaves (I don't recommend this, wonder how much life my BBC lost from it doing this and smelled like hot brakes on a semi). I worked the Scag pretty hard one day and it proved to be fairly fuel efficient. It will climb very steep hills, basically dragging you with it. This is why I bought it ( for hills on my property) and this fact alone is why I'm still happy with it. It's been a love hate relationship. Lots of pluses and minuses for both mowers, they are entirely different machines. I bought a 1.1 acre lot and didn't want to beat my Milwaukee into submission, that's the reason I bought the Scag.

Geez, that's worse than what happened to me. I know I'll never buy Greenworks ever again. Thanks for sharing your story

I called and did all they asked to get it to work. Amazingly it did start up after the initial conk out, but not during this call today. The mower continued to not start despite what they asked me to do. They are going to send me a new battery. The one I have (from the first bad mower I got) doesn't seem to be a problem with all the lights showing it is charged. I suspect I will get the replacement and the thing still won't start.

I plan on making a video of it mulching leaves in a couple weeks 🙂

@@SteenerBernard Awesome. Looking forward to seeing it. Looks like that mower, with its deep deck and powerful engine, should do very well with leaves.

I bought a mount, it was the wrong size. I need to drill holes in the shroud to mount it. Because of drought, I've only used it once. So it at most, has about an hour on it. I'm looking forward to seeing how it mulches leaves. Thanks for watching 🙂

I purchased it a Scag authorized dealership using the honor the brave program. (Thanks Scag! 😀) Other units I was looking at didn't have a military discount until you crossed around $4,000. Like Toro, Exmark. Didn't want a Honda because of recall drama. There aren't many heavy duty 21" mowers

I really liked this video. I’m looking for a new mower for the upcoming mowing season. I’m retired now and I mow some of my neighbors yards for fun money. My old Honda is lame and it’s time to do the humane thing and put it out of it’s misery.(I’m not going to spend any more money fixing it). I looked at the high end Toro’s but there 1000$ and they have a lot of issues from my research. For that price I expect it to work. I don’t want to hear about motor issues, etc. Scags are expensive but maybe I can find a dealer that honors military discount too. Would at least pay for the sales tax. I could be wrong but when you bolted up the handle I think you put the carriage bolts in wrong. The rounded head should be on the inside which would match up with the other ones. That’s why you had trouble tightening that one bolt.

@@SteenerBernard Great video, thanks for the info on the Honor the Brave program. I had no idea they even offered a discount. I ordered the 7 hp today from my local dealer, cant wait to pick it up..

@@CiparBSV I'm glad my video helped someone, I hope you enjoy your new mower

I'm still happy I purchased it. My property is hilly and it will climb steep hills impressively. Yes, it's heavy but I see it as a plus because it helps with traction. I did have issues starting it after I made the video, the fuel line was installed so it was pressing on the off switch no matter what the throttle positron was. It was an easy fix once I saw the problem. No regrets so far. Thanks for watching 😊

So easy to love our little Dachshunds, Thank you for your kind words

Thanks for your input. www.ilovedachshunds.com/what-is-a-piebald-dachshund/

Peanut looks so confused if I play this video, like he knows it's him 😀

Sorry to hear about your loss, I dread the day Peanut passes

Yes, we love our little fur babies

He's very insistent, I always cave into the cuteness

I did get new flooring to sell my house but it was just 1 foot square tiles from Menards, didn't turn out that great

so is judging peoples choice of home decor in blog comment sections....
