Build quality, on at least most of there mowers they look way overbuilt, which is a good thing!!!

I'm leaning towards a scag for next season. I have a 2000 exmark metro and just bought a sulky. The nearest service is kind of far, and it's mostly tractors out there. I went to a scag dealer with a friend a while back, and they were all over over us "what do you need?" Service is important to me, even though i've surprised myself with fixing most problems. I've been seeing this guy around town with his old scag and sulky, and he kicks ass. It's all he has. I need to decide between 32 or 36, hydro or belt. Maybe there is no hydro 32? I'd love a scag and my sulky for next season; that's all i need for my accounts.

I really like Exmark a lot. I don't really care for any of the Scag dealers in our area. I use Bobcat and Exmark, because I get the best support from those dealers... So that's a big part of it. Scag is a great machine, but their dealers ruin my consideration of them.

Plus, I like Exmark better.
