Very good advice. I would also add the use of non-ethanol fuel. The only gas additives I use is Marvel Mystery oil in cutting season and some form of fuel stabilizer in the off season. In over 30 years I've never had a mechanical issue with a motor or had one fail to start when it was time to cut regardless of down time.
Do you ever have issues with deck not being level and creating uneven stripes? I’ve had several issues with mine and the dealer added a new bolt to help. Still having issues every couple months though.
When should I know I need new blades? My mower seems to be leaving too much thatch... I cut better in the beginning. Do you change the blades from the top or bottom?
The Liberty Z 36” has a bolt that you access from under the deck to remove blades. Always try to keep them sharp and that will help with clippings and cut quality. Unless a blade gets damaged, you do not need to replace it. Just sharpen it.
I love your channel. Thinking about a Scag Freedom Z. If I do, it would be my first zero turn. As a homeowner this would be a major expense. Your advice would be greatly appreciated.
Dale, Laura bought her Liberty Z and it’s a great residential mower. My Vride2’s have been good mower’s commercially. We are phasing them out and running all Walker mowers now. I will be selling off the Scags shortly.
Not at all but we use it for smaller yards. We have a Vride2 52” for bigger stuff. The Liberty Z is not the fastest mower for sure. The 36” Vride2 runs circles around it.
@@EdenLawnServices I have a small neighborhood yard in between a 1/4 an 1/2 acre. Just scared to give up the 3 inches on either sides. Just seems on the liberty you can’t do a close cut to flowerbeds lined with landscaping stones. Sorry, to take up your time I am just picking the brain of someone who owns one. Thank you
I bought a new 48” SCAG Liberty Z recently and really like it so far, I have 18.8 hours on it and it says it’s time to change the oil. Where is the best place to buy the oil/filter and what kind? Thanks for the video.
Billie, I purchase all my maintenance supplies from my equipment dealer. I support him and he takes care of us!!! Check your owners manual for what the manufacturer suggest for oil and filter.
@@billierenfro705 I would not worry about a few extra hours. I mean we never change oil in our cars exactly at 3k or 5K. I seem to be over a couple hundred miles each time. Just check the level and if it is at proper level, go for it.
@@EdenLawnServices That’s what I was thinking/hoping. I checked the level as soon as the oil change came on and the level is fine, so I’m going to go ahead and use it, thanks again.
Thanks alot sir. First time changing oil on my new scag. Great guide. And thanks for the extra tips. I've always wondered how y'all's generation could make equipment run for so long.
too cool, i just tried flatout in some cracked sidewalls and posted a video, also just picked up a liberty z and mowed with it for the first time today. you like the slime stuff?
@@EdenLawnServices cool, i may try it in mine, I tried the blue stuff and when i had a leak you could see it all over the yard, i suspect the slime is the same except green lol. the flatout is a gray color.
You can maybe try what I use in my tubeless mtb tires. It’s called stans no tube or something like that. It’s really thin but I’ve never had a flat once.
