Narrowed it down to about the only 2 mowers in stock locally within the category im looking in. First is a cub cadet pro x 654 with the 29hp efi kawi engine. dealer is 5 minutes from house and seem super nice the service department also seemed extremely helpful.Only con im thinking is the size of the 54” deck may be over kill and cause scalp issues with some smaller yards.
Second mower is a scag v ride 2 48” with the 22hp kawi. Dealer is roughly 20 minutes away but also super nice and seem like a great dealer. I think the 48” will be a better all rounder for a first stander but a little under gunned on a very large commercial account im about to close on. Has many found that a 52” or 54” deck is over kill and causing scalping issues on residential yards? Or would it not cause a problem? Also cub cadet vs the scag? Which one would yall go with? Scag out the door after tax is $9500 the cub cadet out the door after tax is $10500
