They've said no pretty plainly to a few on here that have asked them that.

 

bummer :/

 

 

Just wanted to show off my SCAG 37hp Vangard Big Block EFI I'm pretty proud of her!

 

Since when did scag get tweel?

I didn’t see that at gie

Toro had it, jd
Didn’t see scag


Why won’t scag offer smaller Briggs engines
Or Kohler

What is their love affair with Kawasaki
I can’t possibly see them being significantly cheaper

 

front and rear tweels should be standard on every mower now. drools

 

I'd be pissed if they did. As an option? Yes. Standard? No.

I want to see how well they hold up before committing. Particularly the front tweels... let's see if they damage the lawn as they wear. Let someone else be the guiney.

 

Kawasaki is the only engine I would have on one

 

Long term fatigue to the wheel is my concern. The front inside is directional.

Think about how a psi or 2 will unlevel a deck. Typically your trim side wheel gets different movements than the discharge side.

In the tweet if one fatigues more than the other side now you would have a deck level issue.

I get 800 to 900 hours on tires. So that's a lot of flexing over time and how both sides stay the same is the worry.

they aren't ever supposed to fatigue and they are supposed to last 3 times as long as normal tires. i dunno really i've never used them.

 

I don't believe that Michelin would stamp their name on the product without makin sure the product is as advertised. Now thats not sayin that the product is indestructible but; I don't think that it'll be junk... time will tell!

 

I think if they can designed them for both industrial and ag use, they can make them that will hold up to lawn care.

 

Couldn't you just flip them and switch them to the other side every 200 hours to avoid that?

 

avoid what?

 

ooh, i kind of like the rear tweels on the scag's. tweels on a deere never looked right to me.

still a hard no on the front tweels

 

I don't think there will be anything vastly negative about running tweels. If you like the ride and have the money, go for it. Wear on one side versus the other is no different than any other rubber circle on a mower; run flat, pneumatic, solid, etc..... You still should be able to rotate them around. I think those look pretty slick on that scag! But after having ridden on a JD with tweels at GIE... I am not convinced I would like them. I want to like them, but it seemed a little rough to me.

 

you still need a good suspension seat regardless but they do soak up the bumps better than air filled tires and make it less bouncy of a ride when you hit the bumps.
