Proud homeowner of a '13 Scag Cheetah (about 25 hours on the clock). I was reading a post about hour meters on another part of this forum, and noticed someone stating he didn't have a battery on his hour meter. They started me thinking, "What hour meter does the Cheetah have"...??? Battery or...

I cut grass with this JD345 (515 hours) for 18 years, and it served me very well. It has been replaced by a Scag Cheeta 61" ZTR. The JD345 leaking oil along the front of the engine. The plastic hood is completely dried out and all broken. AND, I'm now hearing that this engine has a plastic cam...

This picture was taken after the Cheetah was removed from the delivery trailer. Love my Cheetah (61" 31 Kawasaki)

Delivery picture......

Homeowner here: I'm hoping someone here will admit to this stupid error as well. I would hate to think I was the only one that did this....LOL.. I changed the oil and filter after the the last cut (10.5 hours) then saved the unit till the next cut. Well today was the time for that next cut. So...

I started my fifth cut on my new Cheetah yesterday. I knew there was a high probability of rain, but thinking I had time to beat the rain, I cut about half of the yard. Well, just this once, there was no drizzle, just an immediate down pour. The mower was full of grass, and is now wet and dirty...

New Cheetah owner here (61" deck) Although I have a long way before I need new blades (4.2 hours on the clock), I have gone through the process in my mind over and over. I feel sure removing the upper nut and dropping the blades would be easy enough. BUT, how do you re-install the bolt with...

When I realized I would not be able to find th White Lithium for the spindles, I to called my dealer. He stated "any high quality Lithium lube would serve the purpose, so long as the spindles were greased in a timely fashion". Thus I began my research for a great grease. I forgot to...

The Scag Manual indicates White Lithium grease for the Spindles. I looked high and low, but failed to find that in a tube. SO. I went with Mystic JT6 High Heat- EP2 Lithium Complex (a red grease)

I'm considering selling or trading my long time love,but I don't know the value. Back in March '95 I purchased a Kubota L2900 (two wheel drive) with a Land Pride FD25 72" groomer. The tractor clock has 513 hours. No leaks of any kind. This unit still cuts grass flawlessly. This unit has serve...

Anyone out there have some working knowledge of the Ferris IS2500 Diesel Mower....??? Although I only cut 3.5 acres, I have been doing so with a Kubota L2900 (Diesel) & Landpride 72" groomer for the last 18 years. This unit has served me well, but it's time to move on. I was seriously thing...

In my research for "MY ULTIMATE ZTR"..... Propane has crossed my mind (slightly). BUT I have to wonder. "HOW DO YOU OPERATE WITH PROPANE FUEL". TO begin with, there's the bottle. For those that know? 1) How to you refuel..? Do you take the bottle off, and go to the Propane dealer, or do you...

I'm very close to the purchase of a Ferris IS2000Z. It was thought that Kawasaki might serve me well. But, the more I read (research), the more I have doubts. What is the best engine out there. Kawasaki, Kohler, or the Vanguard Big Block.....??? :confused2: :confused2: :confused2:

Hello all, new kid on the block here. Deep into ZTR research for a mower for 3 acres. I'm still undecided about the need for a 52" or a 61" deck. What puzzles me is the fact that they have the same Kawa engine..... Is the IS200o /52" over powered, is the IS2000 61" under powered... :confused2:
