I’m in the market for a new used mower, I don’t put the hours on them like I used to so I don’t buy new, nor am I interested in the new price tag 😅
I have owned Exmarks most of my career, and originally that’s what I was looking at, but I keep hearing Scags have the best cut and the shop I’m buying from just had a comparable Scag become available. I’ve never tried one, so I don’t know, so thought I’d ask everyone’s opinion here. So thanks in advance!
The 2 options
2022 Exmark X-Series 60” w/37hp Vanguard EFI w/oil guard 1100 hrs
New blades, new tires, mulch kit(probably coming off), painted deck skirts, looks new
$6500
vs
2021 Scag Cheetah II w/38hp Kawasaki EFI 3000hrs on frame
Engine and hydraulics were replaced(does raise some concern about maintenance)
Engine has 1600 hrs, hydros have 1300 hrs
New front and rear tires
$6100
I haven’t used a new exmark, or a scag ever, so hope someone has an opinion that’s used both. I hear the scag cuts better, and I hear the kawi engine is better. But how about serviceability? I do all my own maintenance and repairs, machines that are poorly designed drive me crazy. And I don’t know if a frame with 3000 hours is going to create problems I’ve never encountered 🤷🏼♂️
I appreciate everyone’s time, going to get one or the other tomorrow 😁
Oh and I’m in central Texas, st Augustine and Bermuda is what I’m on most of the time, and the occasional pasture
