Today i was looking at a used Scag SW4814KA walk behind the dealer said it was about 8 years old and only had home use on it. its going for 1600 and it appears in good shape and runs well. Im just starting in the business and i was wondering if some people thought this would be a good starter. I have a picture but i dont know how to put it on here.

Need more information. Deck size, engine, hours, hydro or belt. Alot of money for something that old.

48" belt drive 14 hp kawasaki. Thats a lot for a mower that old. IMO

its a 48 inch scag and the hours are unknown i offered a 1000 cash and they would not take it. they said best deall is 1299 the mower is in really good condition and runs well.

 

[splatz100]

you probably could find a better deal

 

[Baseballer1100]

Im hoping he comes down to reality how do you post a picture ill post a picture of it

 

[splatz100]

I'll try and post it, email it to me at [email protected]

sounds like he has already come down $300 right off the bat, stick to your guns. If he can come down 300 that quick he will drop more IMO

If you stick to your guns, you will probably get a phone call in a couple of days telling you how he fought for you against his boss and got it down another $250.00 but not the $299.00 that was the offer. Your choice from there. It is a lot for it's age. Unless it's in excellent condition.

 

[Baseballer1100]

Should i call him or wait for him to make the call.

 

[Lake Claire Lawn Ranger]

Let him wait a bit. Keep looking around for now.

 

[Baseballer1100]

so like a week

 

[yrdandgardenhandyman]

so like a week

Yes. The longer he sits on it, the better your offer will look to him. And if he sells it at the higher price, well good for him. Too bad for the poor sap who bought it.
There's always another mower out there waiting for you.

 

[Baseballer1100]

the guy called today and left a message should i call hiom back and say 900

 

[CutNLawns]

There is one listed in the Southern Illinois Trader for $700!

Where are you in Ky? I know a guy selling a 52 Scag hydro new motor for 1800 and he might take less.

 

[Baseballer1100]

Louisville but were young and we need something for like a 1000 or within that

 

[wherebluegrassgrows]

You should save more $ belt drives are slow and 14hp is kind of weak for a 48 inch mower but everyone has to start somewhere. Theres a 48" Bunton gear drive in the Bargain Mart 94 model for $750.00 theres also a 40" for $800.00
There is a 52 too but it only has 12.5 hp $1000 obo.
