I'm looking towards the fall cleanup in the next few months. Does anyone run a 52" scag mulching leaves without the baffle kit? The reason I ask is I have the collection system which works fine, but I want to try 100% mulching this year. I have way too many leaves and the piles are a pain after...

Most people can wire a light, but I made a short video on adding the light bar. It sure adds a ton of light up front. For $30 bucks it's an awesome improvement on night time use.

This is my thought process on upgrading my snow removal equipment around my home. Your areas could be different and therefore your outcome choices might be different. I'm getting older and I don't like the cold anymore, so I was thinking about the upcoming winter with any improvements I could...

I was trying the Scag yesterday cutting 4 foot tall grass. My first few passes weren't cutting all that great, then I discovered I needed to throttle it up. It was fun to chop the "hay" down. That was really fun to do!

Friday after work I purchased from the local dealer a Cub Cadet XT2 LX42 EFI (42") 547cc Lawn Tractor. I did a few things to it Saturday (I put a switch on the LED head lights and I put on the mulch kit), but otherwise haven't tried it with any work. Today it rains.... I'm just curious if anyone...

I have a 3 year old Tiger Cat and I'd like to put a pair those fancy gas caps on mine that have the float / indicator built into the cap. So does anyone know if the gas caps they sell for the Turf Tigers will work on the Tiger Cat machines? My original part number is 484286

That's it. My leaves were finished yesterday @ 5:00. Today after work I took out the machine as it was getting dark and washed and dried it. I removed the collection system, then stored those parts in my shed. Then I brought the machine over to my heated garage and jacked it up, and went thru...

I ran the Tiger Cat with collection system yesterday for the first time for my fall cleanup. Sweet machine. I used a large leaf blower (with a 8 HP Honda engine) to get the leafs off the tree line and fence and blow it more into the center of the yard, then I pick them up with the ZTR. It's...

The leaves are falling now so I took some time and put on the collection system of my machine. They say a picture is worth a 1000 words, so here are my modifications so the engine and I stay cleaner during leaf season. I added a flap between the engine and bags. There is a pipe near the...

I bought my Scag Tigercat machine new. It's two years old. My machine nearly always when I go start it (mostly cold) I have to open and close the parking brake, or swing the control levers in and out before the starter engages. If I park it ready to go, it doesn't matter, I still have to swing...

Some say "you don't need no stinkin' stripe kit", but I thought it would be nice for my property. So I visited the nice Scag dealer (Farmington Valley Equipment in CT) today and I ordered the kit for my Tiger Cat machine. WOWie, that is one expensive add on.... I left the check on the mans desk...

I'd like a better seat on this little tractor. I also want the seat switch to work correctly, so does anyone have a recommendation on where to buy one? Thanks! Pics of little orange machine, notice my anti scalp wheels........

Here is my tractor story: 5 Years ago I bought my new 46" red yard tractor from Sears. 21 HP B&S OHV engine, automatic transmission 46" cut. Model number 917.28924 Price paid out the door with insurance, $1881.48. Then at the same time I ordered the 3 bagger grass collection system for another...

This machine my dad bought 30 years ago used from an old guy. They are all past on now but the old tiller still runs. I change the oil once a year and if the gas is fresh it will start in 1 or 2 pulls, every time. Machine is getting old as the last several years I notice bronze in the oil, so...

Here is a short story that might help someone else. I own a 9 HP / 26" Snapper Snow Thrower series 5 machine. Model 9265. It has a Tecumseh 9 HP engine model # HMSK90 156519D. Machine is about 10 years old. The Snapper is one of two machines that I use to clear my driveway every winter. The...
