Just purchased mines today cant wait to use it thanks for the review 🙌
Thanks for watching and congrats on the purchase! 🙌🏻
Hey! Thanks for your video covering the SFC30-7CV-S. I've been eyeballing this mower since it was announced and the addition of casters on the front convinced me it was time. Just placed an order today. Delivery is in about 3-4 weeks to save on freight. Super excited for this overkill mower. For those curious, it sounded like the peddler my peddler gets his peddles from has lots of both models available right now. Also, actually just saw a used 2021 model without casters show up at one of the local dealers so anyone in that market should really start looking close at their dealer's used inventory.
Congratulations on the new purchase! Thanks for watching!
We have one with 135hrs on it and we’ve gone through 3 burned clutches and it’s in the shop getting the 4th clutch put in. Our dealer said they’re having to replace all the clutches with belt/pulley systems since the clutches don’t work. I don’t think it’s too heavy and it’s a cool mower (can’t cut lower than like 2”s on the original models bc the axle) but it’s been in the shop repeatedly over the same thing so I wouldn’t buy one until they fix that issue!
I just bought the fixed wheel model
Used with one hour on it. I’ll look into adding the caster wheels
It looks like an awesome mower just subscribe can’t wait to see more.
Thanks, Ethan! I appreciate your continued support! There will be more to come with this machine!
I like the setup! Any videos of you using the mower?
I will have some coming soon. Mowing season hasn’t started around me yet.
New Sub! She looks like a winner will be following 💯💪🏽
Awesome! Thanks for subscribing!

Hi it’s Andy got mine in January this year don’t yet have the swivels on yet
GOOD REVIEW!!
Thanks so much!
I love this machine.
It’s a great piece for sure!
New Subscriber Here! Awesome overview! I did demo the Scag 30 at the GIE. I hope you do a follow up video. I’m a big fan of Scag Mowers.
Thanks so much! I plan to do a 10 hour review with the initial service on it. Thanks for subscribing and thanks for watching!
@@matthewsmowing how much was it because I’m hearing 2800?? How much it set you back??
@@got2getit204 That’s the cost.
I have the 1st version. Can't wait to replace my front with a caster wheel.
Awesome! It was definitely a welcome improvement.
Great review thank you! Question can you give me the oil filter part number and air filter part number. I have both manuals the engine & Scag power equipment manual but both manuals don’t have the part numbers. Thank You
If you contact your local Scag dealer, they’ll be able to give you the correct part numbers for it.
I wish these mower had like a 250cc engine in them. They get bogged down a bit too much by tall or wet grass.
The engine size difference between this and the next step up walk behind is huge!
For a weekly mowed lawn, the HP is good for this machine. If the area is overgrown, this machine would have no problems taking care of it. There are other videos of this machine going through tall and thick grass with ease. It all depends on what type of areas you mow.
Hi, any update on this mower? How has it held up? Thinking of purchasing one. Thanks.
It has held up well! I don’t use it as often now that I have a 36” VRide, but it still works fine.
I bought 2 of these. The casters seem really stiff and hard to turn. I wonder if the dealer tightened them too much. I'll take the wheels off today and see if they can be loosened. Thanks for the video.
Sounds like either the top nut on the yoke is too tight or if it’s the wheels, the axle bolt might be too tight.
Awesome video i love scag ,,, New sub here ✅💯
Thanks for subscribing!
Nice machine overall. It sounds like the Honda the engine is based off of, but in seriousness I like Kohler's Command series engines. They tend to be more reliable than Briggs in general, that includes Vanguard. It's a huge improvement over Toro's offerings for sure. That being said, I don't need a walk behind 30 when I have my Honda HRC216HXC and my 20 plus year old Kohler Command powered Cub Series 2000 machine.
Hey dude, thanks for the video. I may have missed it, but I don't think you tipped the mower up so we could see the blade configuration. I'd like to know more about that, as I'm familiar with the ExMark configuration, but not the Scag. Thanks!
The blade configuration is similar to the Exmark. It’s a dual blade system, but unlike Exmark, it is un-timed.
@@matthewsmowing Thanks!
Hey great video! Did they fix the clutch problems on the newer models? Guys were saying their clutch was going out constantly on 1st year model.
From what I’ve heard, they’ve been doing better. Starting the clutch at too high of RPM’s and too fast was a lot of the issue I believe. So far, no issues with mine.
@@matthewsmowing thanks for the quick response. I might buy one tomorrow
How many hours on yours so far?
@@mattlorentzen5146 I’m around 5 on mine so far.
Muy buena máquina 💪🏼👌🏻
Hi Matthew. I just watched your video on the Scag. I’m looking at this exact one on Tuesday July 5th and I wanted to ask you if you think it would be good to buy if I’m mowing my personal yard that has a decent hill in the back. I mow the hill now side to side with a hrz Honda self propelled and it does fine. I’m just looking to upgrade to something that produces a quality cut and will last me. I’ve never really been around scags so I didn’t know. The dealer said it would do fine as long as I lock the castor wheels in on the front. I just didn’t know about the weight weather I would basically wear myself out trying to battle it or would it just cruise along like the Honda does? Love to hear what you think. I could always send you a couple pics of the hill to see what you think.
I will say this, if you have to keep your push mower steady, the SFC will probably be a bit of weight to try and keep straight going side to side on a hill. I’ve taken it on some ditch lines and it did ok, but it was harder to keep it from going down to the bottom.
Thanks for the video! I just recently purchased one of these, and I have to be honest, i'm kinda dissapointed in the mulching performance of this machine! Mower seems to bog down pretty easily and clump! Grass wasn't too wet or too high. Figured this mower with the motor would rip through grass. Not sure if i should try different blades or what, any suggestions or tips?! thanks!
I’ve used it for mulching and it didn’t seem to do well either. I just recently found out there is a baffle in the front that is installed for better bagging purposes. It can be removed for better side discharge and mulching capabilities. I haven’t tried it yet, but that may fix the issue.
@@matthewsmowing mine works fine with the baffle plate that's used for bagging is removed
Would like to see you mow with it, perhaps there is a video ( I go look ).
I did create a short on my channel, mowing with it. It did very well. With the spring growth, I haven’t had a chance to make a full video.
So is the drive mechanism of this like a slipping belt type variable speed like consumer walk behinds?
It’s similar, yes. Once you pull the drive handle, it puts tension onto the belt and allows it to engage.
Have you had a chance to use it yet? Comparing this to the Wright 36 velke and the Ferris. I like the size of this and the Ferris FW15 over the Wright. How is this on small hills and overall maneuvering? There is a LOT I like about this mower. The one thing holding me back is how small the drive wheels are and no reverse.
I’ve had a chance to use it and it’s been great. All depends on what kind of terrain you have. I’ve taken it on small hills and it did fine. The drive tires have been fine, no slipping. Reverse is a personal preference really. I just rotate it on the back wheels like a push mower. It’s pretty well balanced.
@@matthewsmowing Thank you for the reply. IT truly looks like a tank as far as build quality, and I like that it's easily converted from side discharge, to mulch, to bag.
How well does it do on hills and uneven turf looking to get the scag sfc 30 for a few of lawns with pretty steep hills that my pro walk 36 that does not really work well on the hills and sclaps uneven turf
It’s not really a hill mower. Smaller inclines it’s ok on, but bigger hills it’s a little heavy for. If the 36” pro walk won’t hold it, there isn’t much that will honestly aside from a 21”.
Electric start would be nice
I just picked one up last week and I have to say, that bagger is a real PITA!!! You have to remove it from in between the handle, then grass dumps out of it if its fairly full while you're trying to pull out the bag to empty it. Also, when engaging the blades, the motor bogs down pretty good before the blades get up to speed, then all is well. I wish I demoed this machine before buying it. Lastly, the bagger already has a tear in it and I only have 2 hours on it. Ugh!
Most bagging units that I’ve used will spill out a little when you remove the bag, it’s just the way they’re set up. When engaging the blades, you should ease into it. Since it is tension actuated, it can be too much load on it if you engage fast. Not sure if the bag can be warrantied, but that shouldn’t have happened unless it was rubbing or picked up a hard piece of debris.
@@matthewsmowing When engaging the blades, I do ease into it and it still seems like the engine strains before the blades are up to speed. I have a 20 inch mower where the bag rests on top of the push handle instead of under it like the Scag and it doesn’t dump grass when removing it to empty. It’s a much different design than the Scag, but it’s something I’m going to have to get used to. Overall I like the mower. It’s quality built. The bag, I’m going to try and get another one under warranty. The rip looks like it was from the outside as you can see the frayed material, but then again you never know.
I have the fw 15 and accelerator catcher. I like the fact 99% of all plastic bags fit completely over the accelerator. Almost zero loss when emptying the catcher. Catcher fits perfectly under the qwik chute, no tools swap between the two instantly. Gxv has 30% more power than Kohler. Power reverse puts the ferris in a class of its own.. Absolutely no muscling just steer and go. Y turns are effortless. Too bad inflation has put most everything out of reach.
Thanks for the review, what's price of this machine. I know it may vary by dealership, but I'm hoping it's 2500 or less?
This one with the casters is around $2,800.
Nice Mower 😀
Thank You! I appreciate it!
Wow. Makes me want to sell me 3 year old timemaster and upgrade to this.
Hi i love the video but i didn’t catch the price I’m definitely buying one for 2023 . I would like to know the price also where to buy from Thanks
List price is $2,999. If you want to purchase, go to the Scag website and find your local dealer. They’ll help from there.
Hello,
What is the cannister that attaches to the vent valve on top of the fuel tank for?
I actually purchased this unit here in Tulsa last week but there was nothing on top of the tank.
Dealership ordered one, but never gave me a description of what it is and its function?
It’s a carbon canister. It’s meant to trap “fumes” from the fuel and allow the tank to vent clean air.
@@matthewsmowing thank you
There's a screeching sound whenever I engage the blades. Can't figure it out, cleaned it too, and there's no place I can find to grease spindles. Any help would be appreciated.
Check that the engagement cables are that run to the PTO are tensioned correctly. Could also be a bad pulley since the it pulls tension to engage.
The rear wheels should be slightly wider for a 100 kg machine, will have pro broblems with moist ground
So far I have tried it on three different wet areas and had no problems.
Nice video man. Have you had a chance to use her in the field yet? I’m in the market for a 30 inch mower to start my business and be my main machine. I’ve been back and forth between this, the toro/exmark, and even stepping up to the Ferris fw15 since it has a reverse. The main complaint I’ve heard about the sfc is that it’s heavy and will beat you up after a days work. Do the caster wheels remedy this problem, and are they worth the added weight and length over the non caster model? I’m in a metro area and will be targeting smaller city/ suburban customers mostly under a quarter acre, but would like the ability to take on slightly larger properties while I grow into a stand on. Thanks!
I have had the chance to use it. It’s been great for me on the yards I’ve tried it on. It does have some weight to it, but I’ve had no issues maneuvering it and pulling it backward. The caster wheels definitely help with maneuvering in tighter areas. It’s all about the areas that you’ll be using the machine on. I’ve had no issues on flat areas and hills alike. If you have a lot of hills, I would suggest the SFC or the FW15 for the higher HP and the bigger transmission over the Toro and Exmark.
I work for a pretty big lawn mowing company and I can tell you the Lexmark 30' mowers are garbage, my boss bought three brand new one's and that all had to go back to the dealer because the motors started falling off, completely lost a few engine bolts. We dissembled the breaks because they are dangerous, when you squeeze the handle they tend to pop wheelies and jerk out of your hand, this has happened several times and the break locks the throttle control on causing the mower to just take off on its own. On mine it went over a curb and out across a very busy street, we hit cars fences and houses because of this flaw. We mow a lot of hills bowels and swells at first its fine but after a while the wheel drivers hive out the gears are not strong enough for constant use on slopes, we now have seven new ones and that are almost never at the shop at the same time because some are always in the repair shop getting fixed for something. I almost have my boss talked into getting the Toro 30" every single person I have talked that ive seen with them say they love them they are half the price and half the weight of the Lexmark 30" So whay can Toro make a good Toro mower and a lousy Lexmark is beyond me. But now my boss has discovered the new scag 30 " mower so I think he is going to get some. And the Lexmark navi. Well that's another nightmare, sold that piece of junk.
Exmark is Toro. Their 30" mowers are absolutely a pain in the ass to use. They are heavy and hard to turn. I bout a new Exmark 30", put 4 hrs on it and sold it asap. If I was to buy a 30" mower, I'd get the Ferris SW15. Pretty awesome little mower
damn that’s a surprise lol I have a 30” commercial exmark and that thing is a beast, has been to the shop about 2x but it’s going on it’s 3rd year out here on the field and I cannot complain
Thanks for the very thorough and informative video! Does it feel like it could still fatigue someone even with the caster wheels? I know it will be more maneuverable but it's still a heavy machine. Just wondering if it feels even lightly cumbersome? Thanks for any input. I know you haven't mowed with it yet.
For me, it’ll be a learning curve to not push the handle bars down to turn and just let the machine do the work. The only thing I can see is still on turns. When you release the drive handle, the transmission isn’t easy to push. It may make for harder turns and may end up having to turn the machine the “old fashioned” way. Time will tell, but overall the machine is a lot smoother to operate and the weight isn’t as noticeable with the casters.
@@matthewsmowing Awesome. Thanks for the helpful feedback!
@@matthewsmowing Does the old fashioned way mean make a multi point turn like with a zero turn? I’m new to the industry
@@Josh-vx6lf More like what you would do with a push mower. Push down on the handle bars and swing the front of the machine around into your next pass.
looks alright, glad i bought an FW15 instead. i do like the caster setup on this better than the pins on the ferris and the mulch chute is slick. the gxv390 is way better on the ferris though
Both have pros and cons, glad you found something that works for you!
Have you had any problems with the clutch bearings seizing
I have not.
Nice review of the Scag walk behind. I was thinking about buying one last year but decided to go with the Exmark because it weighed less and has been around longer. Looking at their new model, it appears they have really listened to their customers(unlike exmark) and have made really good push mower. If I was buying one now I would go with the Scag. I hope it is a great mower for you! Please do a follow up video after you have put some hours on it and tell us how it performs and what you like and dislike. Thank you for the great content!
Completely understandable. One thing I’ve found out from owning Scag, is they do listen to their customers. I plan to do a follow up at 10 hours with the first service. Thanks for watching!
Yeah I’m thinking of pulling the trigger but only have 30 accounts!
@@got2getit204 30 accounts isn’t bad. Are you looking at buying this mower as a secondary mower or for your main mower?
@@got2getit204 It's worth it for 10 accounts, if you're push mowing all of them. The time saving alone is huge.
@@jadonnoble5621 main! Went today to check out some didn’t have any but there now 2800
Can you add a velke to the 30 inch
No, the drivetrain isn’t meant to handle pulling weight.
Yes this a great machine. I bought one last year but had to stop using it because of the front wheels. Almost sold it but didn't because i found out they were adding this kit. Its a great machine overall.
Yes, the front wheels were definitely an improvement from the first version. Much more maneuverable now!
@@matthewsmowing yea because it was so hard to move around that I would get exhausted quick Hope this upgrade lets us go more full throttle for longer time
How much is it with the castor wheels?
@@alexamiranda336 bro they still working on the number lol I think around #300 they told me. They said another month before they get any.
@@alexamiranda336 $3,000
Do you know of a good stripe kit for that machine? I just bought that mower a few days ago
It honestly doesn’t need one, but there are a few out there. Big League may have one, you can check with them.
Stripe kits can be expensive. You can make your own from commercial freezer plastic curtain material, conveyor belting or similar for pennies. Just a thought.
There are two hose connections on the fuel canister, evaporator...one goes to the top of the tank and one goes to the canister...but that leaves one canister teet( connector) open...does it just stay open...im confused on hose placement?
The exit side should have a hose on it too.
@@matthewsmowing
Ok...mounted the bracket and canister, hooked the top hose up to the tank...I just cut the exit hose about 6 inches and let it dangle free in between the tank and engine....I suppose that's how that is suppose to go?
@@flariat2003 Yes, I have mine tucked underneath and zip tied. It’s just the exit vent.
@@matthewsmowing
Ok..that's what I'll do.
Thanks for your guidance!
Where did you buy your new scag 30'' (caster model) ? Gary
I bought mine from Wooster Power Equipment in Wooster, Ohio.
Thanks, excellent review !
Nice first look, and nice upgrades, though the tread on those tires looks pretty shallow, and those goofy bars are a waste of money, weight and material.
It’s about the same as others in this class. Other than protecting the engine, not sure why they add the bars.
@@matthewsmowing I have the Exmark 30 ( and she was a nightmare the first two or three weeks of last season ) and I took off the bars pretty early. Not really any lighter but she's a little less cumbersome, and no damage to the air filter cover or anything. I'm either getting the Scag 30 or Ferris 32 next, but I guess I'll tolerate my Exmarks for another season or two.
I would like to know how wide are the rear wheels exactly.
3”
Thanks
how do you adjust the speed of the mower
It’s one speed. There is a handle to engage the drivetrain.
I want one
You know there’s an easy way to fix that… Go get one! 😂
So there's no powered reverse? Thats disappointing since the Ferris does have that
No, there is not. It’s a personal preference really. I would rather not have it myself.
Are the spindles greazable?
No, these have sealed bearings.
Is this machine self propelled or do you have to push it please please comment back would love to know Thank you for this video
It is self propelled, rear wheel drive.
@@matthewsmowing How much does it sell for
@@martinneps9387 I bought mine for $2,800.
How do I obtain the swivel casters for the fixed version
Contact your local Scag dealer and they can order them.
@@matthewsmowing you mean you can’t sell him a set? 🤔
@@herbb8412 If I was a dealer, I could. 🤷🏻♂️
Is this your 1st Scag or are very familiar with them?
This is my second Scag and I’ve been around them for a few years now.
Is this mower self propelled?
Yes it is
How’s the clutch on this machine, I’ve been told that it’s been having issues would like to know if anyone had have different experiences or if is just some machines I’m on the market of buying me one myself but don’t want to go thru that trouble.
I’ve heard of very few with clutch issues. Most likely it’s just like every brand, there is one or two pieces that malfunction. I haven’t mowed with mine enough to see a problem, but I’ve noticed the clutch starts smoother than that of other brands.
@@matthewsmowing well I’ll give it the chance I have high expectations from scag other than that I might go with a Ferris fw15
@@IDAG0902 I think both are pretty good machines overall. Just depends on the area that you have to mow.
@@matthewsmowing got it. Thanks for your feedback
I'm sure most people are started there blades at full throttle which you are not suppose to do according to the manual
Does it only have one speed?
Yes
Thanks for your response.@@matthewsmowing
So what makes the steel “ military grade” or is that just a marketing ploy?
It is the same steel that is used in military applications. It has a greater abrasion resistance. MetalCraft of Mayville fabricates some military pieces, so they brought that process to the equipment side.
Wider wheels in the back and it would’ve been nice
Obviously this brand and others were produced to compete with the Toro Timemaster. I know it’s beefier and commercial grade but do you still believe it’s 3 times better than the Timemaster? I think you can still get one around 1300 now. Great video though and even though I’m a Timemaster user I’m still interested in the Scag.
The SFC 30 was actually made more to compete with the likes of the Toro Turfmaster and the Ferris FW15. The Timemaster is more of high level homeowner to entry level commercial. From the construction of the deck, the transmission and even the blades, that’s the reason the Scag is at the price point that it is. Being in the class that it is, it needs to have competitive features for that $2,500 - $3,500 price range class. I believe it is totally worth it for the price, because of the build quality alone.
The timemaster is an oversize walk behind mower
This scag is more like a walk behind version of a zero turn scag
If someone would come up with a muffler that could make them whisper quiet, it would be worth 100 dollars more easy ?? Be great for early morning work or around rest homes ect , plus who needs all that noise?!!
It wouldn’t be able to happen due to the combustion of the engine. If noise is an issue, battery push mowers are an alternative.
As anyone compared this to the ferris fw15?
That’s what most compare this machine to. The two machines right now, as far as build quality, cut quality, options etc. are very similar. I haven’t seen a review on the two side by side though.
Not really a comparison, the only thing similar is the price. FW15, bigger tires in the rear with air. Bigger engine (honda 390), hydro trans power variable speed forward and reverse, wider 32" cut, and as with the scag single point height adjustment, both are similar weight. The only drawback of the fw15 is the gas tank could be bigger. But it fit in a certain size box and thats that. Wish it had an oil filter, an engine that size should have an oil filter.
@@firstname6208 fw15 also has timed blades. The SFC30 are offset
The difference is about $1,200. They are not similar in price.@@firstname6208
its a nice machine , i just dont understand why you would buy this over a 36'' ( you can ride a 36'' )
It all depends on what your properties are. It’s another option to help get the job completed. Some gates are not truly 36”+ wide and need something smaller, the whole reason the 32” VRide was released. I have a few yards where the 36” or 32” just wouldn’t fit in an area and so this complements that.
I got mine in January
Very nice! How do you like it?
Find area between deck and catcher to small
For 30inch mower My Turfmaster has a larger area there but still blocks up particularly with Kentucky blue grass particularly when when so sometimes I’ll side or mulch
Wet

Not sure what happened, but glad you found one that works for you though!
Not everything can be blamed on race.
Yo soy hispano i todas mis máquinas so Scag.
?
This is a 3000 dollar mower way too much for a walk behind in my opinion and they don't even give you electric start, plus I think it would be too heavy to maneuver around they should of made it out of cast aluminum. I have a Foley Quad cut from 1961 its 32 inches wide with 4 8 inch blades that mower I can go threw 8 inches of grass and I'll put mine up against this mower any time!
The price point of this machine is in line with the others in its class. It is built to last which also reflects the price point. Sounds like you found a mower that works for you.
Does it have reverse?
@@JuanSantos-lf9bk No, it does not.
224ccs????? Huh????? That's the same amount of power as the toro timemaster! We all know the toro timemaster sucks. For 3000.00 dollars gives us way more power.
I personally rather get the fw15 my personally opinion but I do favor scag over other brands
Actual crews with this mower when asked about it ALL say the same thing. "Heavy as heck" and the youngster on the crew is the one pushing and pulling this beast around. Hard pass. Turfmaster HDX(22235) has the same engine, 60lbs lighter, couple hundred cheaper. You can buy low hour used scag 30"s for $1800 just be ready to get beat up pushing it for 8-10 hrs and replacing clutches regularly.
Before you say “ALL”, do a little more research. I know quite a few crews who own and use this machine daily and don’t mind the weight of it. As well as a few who have switched from the HDX and prefer the SFC. As far as the clutch goes, the crews that I know have had no clutch issues and neither have I. It’s a matter of opinion and if it doesn’t work for you, that’s fine. Use what does.
@@matthewsmowing I did the research by talking with 4 crews in my area that use this mower. This research is what prompted me to write the above comment.
@@gls3894 i hate it, have had it in the shop 3 times before 100hrs on it for that problem and it never seams to last long before it goes bad again
You didn’t even show how it move’s! Bummer!
I showed how to make it move. Once mowing season starts, there will be more footage on it!
@@matthewsmowing probably means with the castors and turning, etc....
@@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power I know that’s what he meant. That’s why I said more footage was coming. Still in winter here.
@@matthewsmowing naw you could of showed it but hey it’s yours not mines!
224ccs????, That's the same amount as the toro timemaster. Wth!!!!! We all know the power of the timemaster sucks.
The engine has nothing to do with the Toro being that way. It was made for homeowner use and has the features to show that. The smaller discharge opening of the Toro takes longer for the grass to exit. Where as with the SFC, the discharge opening is much more open which allows the grass to exit quicker after being cut. I have taken this through thick spring growth and it performed flawlessly.
Terrible clutch, is scag planning a new clutch?? Less than 100 hours and I went through 4 clutches
Yes, there is a new clutch available.
Look its a skinny chumlee
Far from it.
I didnt mean it as an insult fyi. I mean in the face. Like a younger doppelganger.
@@suckondeznutts Gotcha, wasn’t sure which way it was going. You may be on to something there…
Ugh..."military grade"
Anyone who knows anything about government and military production knows that's not always a good thing. Marketing pandering.
Well, considering that’s not the driving factor behind my purchase, I don’t care.
People don’t want that noisy ass lawnmower in there neighborhoods dude haven’t you heard gas ⛽️ is dead ☠️ ☠️ ☠️ ☠️
Funny… I’ve never had one compliant about my bigger mowers or this one on a property.
Maybe true, but no worries..we will all be watching his review of the new electric model within 3-6 years. Standby friend.
This mower is horrible. Dont buy it unless you feel like constantly fixing something every 5-10 hours of use. I have blown through 3 belts in one month.
Just because your mower may have broke a few belts does not mean the machine overall is horrible. Mine as well as others have not had issues, could have just been a problem inside that machine. It happens.
We do 65 lawns a week. The belt broke 4 times. The clasp broke on the side mulch plug. The blade clutch is worn out at 87 hours. Its a POS. If you are reading this, just stick to Hondas. American made anything is junk. I want to drop this thing off of a cliff. Cant stand it. Nothing but problems
@@johnbeach7490 Use what works best for you. I’ll stick to my American Made “junk”.
Absolutely a piece of junk mower. Doesn't cut wet grass good and the thing is heavy as lead, and mine has been hard as heck to start ever since I bought it. WOULD NOT BUY IT AGAIN!!!
I’ve never had any of those issues on mine. It’s always done well with wet grass. Did you remove the bagging baffle?
