Thought I had a great machine....the" best of the best" for homeowner needs...Wildcat 61" z-turn, kowasaki liquid cooled engine....all's well until 5 years out- 2 acres to cut each week, 210 hours on the machine in 5 years and regular maintenance until... the wheel motor failed, with possible hydraulic pump failure as well...something that rarely if EVER happens, according to our dealer, confirmed by the Scag distributor in our area- this with only 210 hours on the machine and regular maintenance.. Take this up with SCAG and they DO NOT HELP in any way - "Out of warranty" No standing behind their equipment, no consideration of the circumstances...or maybe because we are not a commercial outfit they have no need of our business.... I would not buy a Scag again- given the circumstances with light duty and excellent care, Scag would not consider helping IN ANY WAY with very expensive parts replacement which rarely if ever fail... Scag would not stand behind the quality of their machine..."Simply the best"... I don't think so- Did you really say that Scag stands behind their equipment….????

From day one and I mean day one, I have frequently had starting issues where the battery just won't crank the engine. Not sure what causes the problem but a new battery lasts about one year. At 250 hours, serious engine oil leak Dealer said they could service mower in about 7 weeks. Found a garage mechanic who fixed the oil leak problem which was a gasket blowout from deep scratches on the engine split line. No reimbursement from dealer or even a reply from Scag.
