Yes please do the toro grandstand demo and a video!!! I bought one this season as my main mower not because it’s a toro but because I have a great dealer and that’s their main mower product. I was going to get the scag but all the dealers in my area just don’t do people right anymore. I’d love to see your thoughts on the grandstand!
@@DOCREAL1118 Much appreciated brother!! I like the grandstand so far ,but as you say it’s not without issues either. Thanks for the congrats and looking forward to your review!! Y’all try to stay dry this week if your near NC!!
I'm on my second Kohler engine on my grandstand multiforce. Things I don't like - controls are heavy and take a while to get used to, I wish the discharge opening was larger, there are a lot of bolts underneath the deck which makes it incredibly hard to keep clean and collects a lot of wet grass.
Ive been in this bis. since 1997 , and iv'e ran all the major brands . the scag v ride 2 is hands down the best most productive machine I've ever ran. I'm running the 37 hp brigs EFI. 975 hrs on it not a lick of trouble . I love the spindle design with timpkin roller barrings that are greesable.
That's one heck of a career my friend. I agree, the spindles are second to none! I am going to try the BadBoy Revolt next season. I feel for the savings it would be a good buy and worth giving a shot to. Thanks for watching.
Appreciate your review. I ran scag/wright for years. Swapped to Deere and I have nearly zero downtime now. They cost a little more but they are also worth more when I trade/sell. Cheers!
Scag is a damn good mower . I been having my turf tiger for 11 years and never let me down . The tweels , I think I’m gonna get some . This morning 4/9/24 cut my first place put it on the trailer and noticed leaning going to my next stop . Flat tire !!! Had to go buy a tire and go get new one mounted . Cost me an hour plus diesel driving and my time . I hope the tweels or worth it .
It definitely is a great mower. The tweels saved me from 4 flat tires and down time already in one season. Worth every penny. Don't have to check tire pressure, not to mention the yards are level all the time.
Hey Doc, glad you guys are finally getting some rain, still waiting for some here in Omaha. Grabbed some big mulch jobs to make up for missed mowing since it’s so dry. I grabbed a John Deere 636M Quiktrak stander for all my yards since 95% have gated back yards and boy is that thing the bees knees. Racked up 50hrs so far and it’s a great little machine. Hoping to grab a 52 for year 2 in business depending on how many larger properties I can add. Keep up the great work and god bless. 👊🏻
I have always liked how the scag stripes. im at that catch 22 with brands my dealer is one of my fathers good friends so for me it's either gravely or cub cadet. I have like some of the wrights. but the dealer support for me is the key. im looking to probably get the prostance 48 next. for those bi weekly yards my little.32 is a beast get in and get out.
Whatever you use is ok, dealer support is so important. As long as it cuts and makes you money it will never matter. We are all at the mercy of the dealers around us. God bless brother! Great to see you man
Easy solution turn the bolt around,nut on the bottom. I change my blades between jobs sitting on the trailer “waist high”.19 year now, no matter what anybody says the blades have never came loose.that’s one reason I own 3 turf tigers.hope it helps.GOD bless
@@DOCREAL11182 things..Scag does not put zerk fittings on the front because they usually break off. The bolt design through the spindle is actually better for the consumer, the bolt takes more impact than the spindle if you hit something and other manufacturers use the same set up
Scags are top of the line love mine now let me ask u this if u were to buy a Vride would u only get the kaw I’ve heard the 37 vanguard is a good motor but never been a fan of Briggs
Just curious, have you ever thought about trying a Ferris stand on mower? The deck is extremely similar but they have some great comfort and additions that really make it a good choice. I am probably going to buy one after I am done with my vride 2. I like the vride but all of the grease points and the lack of ease of maintenance makes it a pain. I also think the deck lift doesn’t have enough support and the front wheels seem to catch on things a lot because they are too flat and aren’t round enough.
I have tried Ferris, too many grease points for my liking. Seems a bit over engineered but a very nice ride. Scag is super easy for me to work on but I am used to them 👊💯
Great video Shane , Scag are great. I have a tiger cub 52 2004 with about 2000 -2100 hrs . 24 hp Honda and two newer Scags so I would say I like Scag . ❤️🙏
Ferris skips out on them caster spindle zerks to I had one mower get tight to spindle but I put zerk in and it smoothed out insane the lil corners these big company’s cut
I have two of the v rides and love them but installed grease fittings on the casters and told my boy makes no sense for scag not to just install those lol but other than that love them
My boy and I watched this whole video. He said that’s a nice mower. I said stop cussing 😂😂 joking doc. Real nice review honest review I say. They definitely need to change their blade removal system. 💪🏼💯
Great review on your Scag Doc! I think it’s going to be hard to switch with different brands. You will probably go back with another v-ride! Great video brother👊💪
Definitely a tralier. A 48" V Ride II and a 52" V Ride II Those would be the 2 mowers I would own and of coarse hedge trimmers and blower, trimmer. I would have qwik-chutes on both mowers.
@@DOCREAL1118 thank you. I was wondering if you were going to throw bad boy in there. I have breakers for most of every brand within 40 min from me. Bad boy is an hour. I’m in Washington, PA and that dealer is also Veteran Owned. I appreciate your reviews and videos
Great review man! Hustler and badboy I heard good things about too. Scag is wonderful! Have a good one man. I know what you mean about bi weekly yards I do them but it’s going to get to a point where I stop taking them on.
Thanks, Hustler is nice and Bad Boy is top notch for sure. Hope you're doing well brother. I appreciate all the support you show me man! I don't even want these yards, Lol
You probably disown me. After this. But I have a John deer stand on 52" . It what I coukd afford 2 yrs ago. It had also 1000 hrs on and got it for 2800.00. I thought it was a go deal. But it does the job. And cuts good. Yes I hate when I feel bad for people trying to help. But I have learn my lesson as well. It my price that it. All on maintenance work as well. And yes Sunday my grand kids took to lunch and dinner. Have to hook up soon. Have a good week.
Great footage brother, I've ownscag since 2000 ,run kawasaki, they all have quirks but haven't been nothing major ,a pto ,safety switch, pto switch but no real issues ! And for the customers that like to put off or delay cut ,they pay !! Have a great week , stay dry ,an stay hydrated! Take care Shane
@@DOCREAL1118 You may have forgotten about I was very close to buying one, I demoed and I liked it, I think Scag makes it a little more complicated than it has to be to do the maintenance on it, just my opinion
Great review Doc. Every mower has it's pluses & minuses hey. Just tell it how it is. Dealer support is the other thing. My Bobcat dealer is excellent & looks after me really well. 8.40am & it was -5 celsius (23 F) here this morning 🥶, so I'll be starting a around 10-11am when things thaw out . 👊💯💪😎
Wow!!! That is cold!! Brrrr!! Thanks so much brother! They all have pros and cons but I am happy with it overall. Dealer support is more important than the mower. BobCat mowers are getting more popular. Stay warm Mate
There really are so many! That is a good list. I am going to try to test the Toro and see what they are about. I think Grasshopper would be a beauty to own.

The biggest thing I hate about scag is the bearing grease zerks and overall changing the blades. Like you said, put a regular bolt in it.
I like greasing them but I get it and the bolt just needs to be changed period!! With you on that man!

You need to keep equipment clean as it reflects on first impressions. Scag and Wright are both great mowers.
Too busy working and my customers just like the quality not how clean my mowers are but thanks 🙏👍 Yes sir
Quality and cleanliness go hand in hand in business.
@@dhab146 No argument just very little time.
Need to demo the cub cadet standing mower here there top notch
I tried one at the GIE nice mower 👍
Thanks for your review debating on switching from my wright to scag appreciate it
You would love the Velocity deck. You're welcome sir
Great review, I hope you find what you are looking for in a new mower.
Have a great night!
Thanks brother 💪💯 I am sure I will. Only a couple new ones to go before retirement 😜🤣🤣
Ferris skips out on them caster spindle zerks to I had one mower get tight to spindle but I put zerk in and it smoothed out insane the lil corners these big company’s cut
I agree! It would cost them 50 cents overall. Makes one wonder why at times. Ferris is a really nice mower. 👊💯
I have two of the v rides and love them but installed grease fittings on the casters and told my boy makes no sense for scag not to just install those lol but other than that love them
I agree, what is $1.25 for a zirk fitting. SCAG can be cheap although they are among the best

If you were starting all over, what equipment would you get? Trailer or ramp rack?

Ran Scags for 12 years great mores you’d as nails. But 7 years ago bought John Deere because of 0% instrrest saved a bundle.
How do you like those Deere's? They all have 0% now, They are definitely great mowers brother 👊💯🇺🇸
No such thing as issues with the Scag VR2.
I’ve ran ran a 52” for 5 years and it’s exceeded my expectations. It’s also a carb kawi.
Lol. I only wish that were true. Love the Kawi Carb. engine brother! Thanks for the support brother
How much do the tweels stick out on each side with the 48 inch deck.
They don't stick out. It's basically the same as running the air tires
Scags are great cutting machines, far as maintenance not so friendly, the engineering needs lots of improvement
I disagree, I think people are Feeding you the red pill Big H 🤣🤣 👊 BOOOOOOOOM

Deere does the same thing the bolt thru spindle, if you break a bolt off it’s just a bolt to replace and not a spindle!
Ok, that must be the reasoning behind it. Thanks for bringing that point to light.
Rain here NC all week 😩
Get some rest buddy 👊💯
Hope we can make the best of it!! Certainly a work plan bummer!!
They dont put the zerk in, so they dont get snapped off.
