Ferris/Scag/Toro/Hustler/Great Dane walk behind, anymore

[charlie6]

The Scags are very reliable and good to use. I have used a 36, 52, 48 and zero turns. The mulching kits slows them down and not always as good cut but leave a great finish if not too much grass. The mulches really struggle with moss.

or if working on bankings try the ransomes spider.

We have a couple of double wheeled 48inch scags rear discharge and would recommend them with the Kawasaki engines. We have tried them with mulching blades but did not think much of them so went back to standard.

 

we use them on grass cutting every 3 weeks and they do a very neat quick job and get places a ride on would not.

 

rough cut jobs which have not been cut for weeks / months and they still do a good cut.

 

banks and slopes you will slip before the machine does.

 

using the gears you can cut long wet grass

 

They are not cheap to run been petrol, I have never seen a diesel walk behind scag or ferries?

This isnt a 48" deck but the Orec Rabbit is a ride on that will tackle anything it can push over. We had a contractor ask recently to hire one of these from us as he had a job to strim grass and had budgeted 2 days with 2 guys strimming. He took the Orec and had it back to us in less than 4 hours.

 

It is a phenomenal climber as per this video.
