Hello, I have a 2019 Scag Patriot currently with around 100 hours. It's been a great mower other than the starter only working when it wants. I have a local dealer that has a leftover 22 TC2 52" with the 27 Yamaha. It is marked down to 9599. I have noticed that Scag no longer offers Yamaha power, so it got me thinking that this engine may have been a failure for them. What are your thoughts on that engine and the price of the mower? Thanks!
Dealer said they used Yamaha because they were having trouble getting enough engines from Kawi, It's hard to believe that Yamaha made a bad engine, but the dealer kind of hinted at it when I asked.
Go on Wingepool or Feaces book and search Yamaha mower engines .
Enough reading o keep you busy all winter long .
Yamaha saw a market oppertunity so rushed an engine into production without sufficient field testing.
The results were to be expected
