New Push Mower First Look SCAG 30 Inch 

So is there a GCI Special Edition in the future ?

Where do you buy the lawn mower

@@ronthompson2366 hello

Pete looks good with Cat's Eye Gold!

RiP Professor.

Neal was the best!

Is it scag’lish?

This doesn’t compete with a TimeMaster, but more a TurfMaster.

JD Martin or Pete, does that tab drag at all if you put the Scag on it's lowest height and roll it on the sidewalk or street?

I have this mower as well cuts phenomenally but I will be selling because on any uneven ground this thing drags in tears up the yards. I literally cannot mow at 2.5 inches unless the ground is completely even, It will even scrape the concrete when pushing it back to the trailer at 2.5 inches.

You got no business watching this video then, those little walk behinds even if they’re belt drive will destroy this mower any day of the week. These push mowers are too heavy to be steering manually tbh

Why did you switch from Wright over to Scag?

Since they got the swivel wheels now I’m going to pull the trigger because it built way better then the exmark and how worse could it be and you can’t go wrong with scag!

@@got2getit204 where do you buy the lawn mower

@@jeremynguyen2346 weingartz! But my dealer doesn’t sell scag exmark toro Honda cub cadet! But they sell all blowers and trimmers you need!

Honda has to give everyone a chance lol

@@birdman1224 does Honda make lawn mowers

I heard them ferris 30 are really nice I have an exmark commercial 30s and it's a bit underpowered but I love it

@@mattsfirewoodvideos738 the reverse feature alone makes it worth buying. I cannot stress enough how much of a back saver and energy saver it is. i have developed muscle memory of pulling my fingers back and try the same movement on my other mowers without reverse, it pains me not having that feature lol

At least the SCAG will last as opposed to the time masters that aren’t built quite well enough to handle commercial usage. SCAG has a solid reputation for being built to stand the test of time. Cut quality is also superior to any other mower I’ve ever used. Personally, I’m looking forward to buying one of these 30s. Perfect for tight lawns and more versatile than the 32” stander (on hills, in other words)

@@MrBones2020 I have 2 rthat are on season 7. They really are fine. Typical wear items like drive belt and blade cable. less than $50 / year in parts. We use them as trim mowers and on smaller lots, 158 / week. Theyre really fine

Yeah you’re right, I sold my fw15 after using it for like an hour. They’re way too heavy, I’d really suggest even a belt drive walk behind 32” than these push mowers and they’re only a couple bucks more

yepppp me too 😁

the reverse feature is soooooooo freaking nice. it literally saves your body on the job. way less exerted energy on turns and places where you need to back up. i wish all my push mowers had that lol, i find myself pulling back my two index fingers from muscle memory and when nothing happens im like omg this sucks so much 😭

It's hard to say these are the same kind of mower given the costs? I'm picking up the Scag 30in on Thursday for $2k with .2hrs, justifying another $1700 for the features you're saying I'd hope it comes with a lot more than "reverse" and another 150lbs?

If the fw15 never bogs down; pete said the sfc 30 did on his recently fert'd lawn area. Then I say, why not have more power. Please show how it does with 8AM wet grass

The only problem with the fw15 every dealer in a 15 hour drive radius has been on back order for 4 months and estimated to be on back order for another 3 to 6 months so the scag with casters is probably going to be my only option

Not accurate on the pulling back production. That said with this mower, like any product we come out with, we are always staying plugged into the customer base with feedback (this video being one of the great options) to improve our products.

@@ScagPowerEquipment What changes are happening? Why isn't this type of review sought prior to release? An incredible turf community is on YT. It seems you'd be wise to tap into it, not only for profits but input.

@@stephenfox3236 Stephen, we tap into all input from every social channel - Scag Nation, Facebook, Instagram, RU-vid, Twitter, and now even TikTok. Our product development team monitors these channels and is also made aware of any product feedback that may arise. We are actively working on adding caster wheels onto the SFC30, as well as an accessory to the SFC30. No additional information to give at this time, but stay plugged in! Appreciate your feedback!

@@ScagPowerEquipment Thank you for that. I see the monitoring occurs after product release. It seems before release some time with demo models would allow changes prior to production/release. I want to get one of these, but with some of the feedback... I'll need to wait and see. Thanks again.

@@stephenfox3236 We certainly do that as well. Just a fun FYI about our product lifecycle when we develop new models: Each new machine (mower, blower, whatever) will go through a concept stage where we build early prototype units for in the lab testing and in the field testing. Those concept machines will be with landscapers all throughout the US so we can get them in various different cutting conditions and grass types. We will also get them with people that use our product already and those that don't. A good example of this is from our V-Ride II launch. We had the concept machines with Scag customers who ran the original V-Ride and also with customers who've never run a Scag in their life. All that feedback and test results make it to the next stage which is the pilot build. For pilot we build quite a few more machines, sometimes in the dozens so our sales team can start showing dealers and end users alike. Pilot is done where we have enough time prior to full production to still make some changes prior to full production. Your feedback is what absolutely drives our brand and we start getting customer feedback on new machines extremely early in the process and it doesn't stop after the product in launched.

Idk if this is the upgrade tho

Should be 90lbs lighter lol

Its okay the next one is always better.

Toro time master 30 inch has the 223 cc engine. It has its flaws but has plenty of power.

Same here quality of cut is vastly improved over a Residential Mower. I am really impressed with this Mower so far.

How'd it do at those settings

They will drop when nobody is buying them. Same as new car prices right now.

i agree with the electric start that would have been nice. i love the sensitivity of the wright hydros...

@@GCITurf have never used a Wright. No dealers remotely close. I love my Walker ghs hydros. Smoothest I’ve used between John Deere, toro, exmark and scag.

3500 for the ferris. Wow. That thing looks like a beast

I accidentally left a video on nor.al speed and grew very concerned that he was especially depressed. I watch at 1.25.

@@paulp3369 🤭 I'm at 1.5, and sometimes 1.75 if he slows the pace too much.. 😁

yeah that was a MAJOR disappointment for me....i was looking forward to 1" cut on my KBG

Saint Augustine grass is a warm season grass. It cuts the grass good

@@normrubio thanks! This is the grass - gciturfacademy.com/collections/gci-grass-seed/products/gci-turf-blue-heat-grass-seed

What do you use ? I’m looking for some ceramic coating for my mowers

Price markup on ceramic coatings is insane. Any well rated options on ebay/Amazon will do well. I usually have someone rinse off the mowers at the end of the day and someone using Carpro Hydro2 weekly as a boost. LLUMAR 10 Mil thick PPF for the mowers and replaced as needed. You can buy it in one foot incremental lengths and installation is relatively straight forward.

@@jimmyvaught any ceramic coating or it has to be specific to mowers or the ones they use on cars is the same ?

@@gustavomarin6535 any. No need to go with any particular brand or pay any attention to what it says it's for.

@@jimmyvaught so as long as it says ceramic coating, any will do?

You should not have to do this quick fix for $2,350

With a Hemi style engine.

I wouldn’t agree with it being heavier but yes to the Honda motor. Kawasaki would be nice too. Having one engine make for all my equipmemnt would really make maintenance easier too.

1 - neither I love Sundrop 2 - walk behind because its a lighter mower and i like to walk

@@GCITurf Sundrop! Such a rebel! LOL The lighter weight is less wear tear on turf for sure. The health benefit of walking as well makes sense. Plus it keeps the doc and wife happy I’m sure. Stay well sir!

@@theSuburbiaDad bro if Sundrop goes outta business I’m gonna be in some major trouble 😂

@@GCITurf 😆
