    Recommendation for new 0 turn mower

    I bought a Sacg Liberty Z 61" almost 5 years ago. Have 4.6 acres, now about 3 acres, all field, no 'turf'. Could not be happier, HOWEVER... my smaller trailer is 59 3/4" between the rails :( I do not regret my purchase at all, have had zero issues with it. But, I will have to put a temporary...

    Lawn mower battery charging help needed

    I got a NOCO Genius 1 when I needed a charger and had AGM batteries. It has adapters you can leave hooked up to small engines or larger vehicles and comes with clamp leads. Seems to be the only one I need to cycle battery charging. I also own LiIon start pack, but only have had to use it once.

    Convert GAS Briggs V-Twin to DIESEL?

    I am a fan of propane as autogas fuel. Curious about your oil change interval statement, if it comes out looking clean and not smelling burnt (assumption). How are you know the oil needs changed at same intervals? Is there any data from oil sample tests (Blackstone Labs, or similar) that prove...

    Poulan Pro PR241 Snow Thrower

    YouTube can be your friend for carb removal/cleaning/replacement. Could be a simple as water in fuel or car bowl, plugged (or even partially) orifice in carb from debris in fuel, critter in fuel line or carb, depending on age you could have a swollen/plugged fuel line. Perhaps it could be the...

    Good value torque wrenches without breaking the bank?

    For cost and accuracy the digital adapters (specifically HFT Quinn & AC Delco) seem to be the best deals. There is also another YouTube channel Torque Test Channel with some very good tests and info. FWIW After watching 4-5 testing episodes on both, I grabbed and AC Delco digital adapter and...

    Good value torque wrenches without breaking the bank?

    My recommendation is to grab a digital adapter for your needs. Decent videos on YouTube from at least two different testers that showed AC Delco and Quinn to be quite accurate and very affordable. I own HF 1/2" ft/lb clicker, 3/8" Craftsman in/lb clicker, old Craftsman beam style and just...

    Best value SCAG for my situation?

    Good luck, congrats on a great deal. I know Grasshoppers to be great machines. I hear the short wheelbase makes them pretty bouncy, I do hope it works out for you perfectly. Please keep us updated on your status.

    Best value SCAG for my situation?

    It is rough in spots to be sure and is not what I'd call comfortable, everywhere. But I can get it done in two hours. The bouncing is more from the vole structures (some reference them as moles) than leftover horse hoof pits. It can get so bad on the bouncing I will have to come to a complete...

    Best value SCAG for my situation?

    I have very similar with 4.6 acres of ex-horse pasture. Agree with you, I have the Liberty Z 61" for 4 years now, haven't regretted it for a moment, paid about $6k for year end sale. I am glad I bought a Scag, it is built solid and tough, I don't worry about anything. I bought aftermarket...

    Tire pops off the rim

    Thanks Big-Rich, cogent reasoning for sure. My query was mostly about the advice given, not your decision. It was just what popped into my head at start of discussion. I hope you'll update the thread after use and if anything changes, I am curious to know how this goes and if you ever find root...

    Tire pops off the rim

    My thinking on this may be off, but without concrete knowledge of exactly why the bead is popping off; with a tube is there not a risk of the bead popping off and shearing the tube valve stem?

    I agree, I think you could not go wrong with a Grasshopper.

    Looking for a problem free 42" Zero Turn Mower

    I can only speak from research, on this forum and personal experience. I have about 3.5 acres of field that I mow, not really turf. It is very rough in some parts. I bought a Scag Liberty Z and could not be happier with my purchase. Thing is built like a tank, has been thoughtfully put together...

    Scag Liberty Z opinions?

    I added a suspension under my seat, made a world of difference. Cannot imagine mine without it, have rough field to mow thanks to the blasted moles. About 3.5 acres works great, one note - I did have to extend the sensor wiring under the seat to route it properly so as to not get it pinched/severed.

    Exmark Radius E series with 708 possible camshaft issue

    That is pretty much what he did, with some detailed explanation as to why it was needed. The OP reaction of getting feelings hurt, rather than providing the info was where it went South. If the guy wants help, he can either ignore what he doesn't like or comply with simple request. The OP...

    Cannot find oil drain plug

    I agree 100%, I only own my Mightyvac extractor due to a transmission fluid change (European vehicle) that required filling trans from below, while vehicle running and at a certain temp to get fluid to proper level. Was easiest way to do it. I have used it for some oil changes, but always use...

    Cannot find oil drain plug

    Not too bad, but seems rather spendy for only 3qt capacity, would only be useful for small engine. For only a little more $ works for more items like passenger vehicles, etc...

    Scag Liberty Z opinions?

    Why are people saying the Kohler is not as good of an option as the SR? Why is Kawi preferred? I purchased Liberty Z 61" with Kohler just over 2 years ago and couldn't be happier (end of year over $1,000 off and the $0/5yr). The tech (mech for long time) I spoke with said the Kohler was just as...

    Zero turn mower seat

    I can vouch for the Trac Seat on mine, bought brand new Scag without suspension seat, added one under my OE seat (had to use some 1" square tube steel to offset from seat brackets). Night and day difference on the ride. Possible option for saving on pre-made suspension integrated seat.
