Scag & ExMark are damn good & Comparable mowers... I have used both and it comes down to HP/Torque, Blades, Blade speed & Lift. HP... Just because it has XX HP/Torque at the output shaft of the motor doesn't mean it has the same at the blades! Blades... Sharp V's Dull V's Lift & Normal V's Gator (for Discharge size and spread) As for comfort... I think Scag will need to catch up with ExMark... Their rider isolating seat & seat frame W/the shock absorbers is a dream come true for those of us that spend the better part of the day sitting on one of these beasts! Having just a shock absorbing seat is still a gut wrenching experience on some less than savory turf! (I'm sure you all know what I'm talking about)
My opinion. This video ain't even a comparison. Both are very good mowers. The new exmark got a really good ride and cut. I find exmark a little shorter so they fit on a trailer better and mow hills good. Often they are are a little lighter in weight than some heavier brands. That is good because they tow easier and don't leave ruts in a wet yard so bad or get stuck as easy. Also just a little bit cheaper and longer lasting. I have seen to many companies make mowers to heavy with poor design. Example, Like ferris with a super heavy cat diesel. Give me a big block gas engine any day. Not a Heavy piece of junk. The drive system had to move so much weight, add a loaded bagger of wet grass and front weights and the drive system would collapse after a couple hundred hrs. Some companies skimp where it needs more strength and add where it ain't necessary. Scag is better for mowing heavy overgrown grass than exmark in my opinion. Also a few years ago they knew exmark had the best deck because when they copied it they got sued by exmark. That says all I needed to know when I made my choice of mowers. I went with exmark. Have 1100hrs on mine currently. To those that mow pastures with lawn mowers that's really cool to do. I used to mow pastures of grass also, but I used a 175hp john deere tractor with a 15' wide bat wing mower and sat in a air conditioned cab.
Frank Emerson Exmark cut is great in ideal conditions such as dry turf. Scag surpasses in heavy, thick, or wet grass. I use the Scags 90% of the time. they hold hillsides better.
Ha ok what does 35 dislikes on this video prove and i can tell you know shit about mowers ive used alot ive owned dixie chopper scag snapper pro husqvarna and ive used john deere bad boy cub cadet x mark and they all been commercial ztr an i can tell you for a fact bad boy is in dead last to even put it in the same category as a scag is an embarrassment to your intelligence haha do some research you get what you pay for why the scag is about $3,500 more than a bad boy but well worth it if your a serious commercial mower
Raymond J I have to respectfully disagree with you about Bad Boy being the best. Bad Boy does not make a true commercial grade mower. There are many differences between Bad Boy and Scag but the biggest difference of all is in the way they cut. There is a reason Bad Boy does not advertise or mention anything about their cut quality in their marketing material among other things that are inconspicuously left out. You don't see commercial landscapers running Bad Boy and there is a reason for that.
@Raymond J the video has so many dislikes because it’s a bad comparison between the two mowers. Didn’t really show anything about the Exmark, the dislikes have nothing to do with the mowers themselves.
You didn't even move the camera to look at the Exmark cut ? I would like to see the comparison but that does not exist in this video .
Fucking bullshit video ... need to see both blades grinded and sharpened same way and comparison of cut with both machines
Where is the verses? Just two guys mowing.
having owned both brands, hands down scag is far superior. Nothing beats the velocity plus deck.
Id have to disagree but everybody does have an opinion
nice grass where is the verses! just two guys mowing.
Those mowers are pretty much identical
The Scag is mowing a little faster than the Exmark. That's the only "head to head" I saw. Not very helpful as a quality comparison.

Who won on cut quality?
Frank Emerson
Exmark cut is great in ideal conditions such as dry turf. Scag surpasses in heavy, thick, or wet grass. I use the Scags 90% of the time. they hold hillsides better.
what kind of blades do you use
Clay Magee
Scag high lift blades and Oregon high lift on the Exmark
i ran exmark im thinkin about scag next
scag is obviously faster but more importantly to me is that it looks like it absorbs the bumpy terrain better.
You would be correct. Scag has a longer frame which tends to smooth out the rough terrain more so than the Exmark.
I don't believe this I have heard scags are rough riding they are behind glad I got a ferris it will mow 10mph not throw you out of the seat
Theses mowers put my Raduis x series to shame 23.5hp 😅
looks like scar took it
Scag!
This is a bad video and you should feel bad for making it. There is no "versus" at all.
Scag #1
What size deck is scag ?
61" , 35 hp big block brigs.
The ride quality of the x mark/toro is absolutely horrible.
scag
i choose the Bad Boy they are the best hahaha id pick the scag outta these 2 though !
Haha bad boys suck ass compaired to a scag like compairing a ferrari to a fiero
and id say 35 dislikes agrees with me hahaha looser
