I see numerous posts of people asking about mowers, cut quality ect. One conclusion I have come up with is area a person lives and grass being cut as one reason I see so many different conclusions on what is better. Down here where we live we cut tremendous amounts of Pensacola Bahia Grass on 14...

Do any of you guys running Exmart mowers cut grass where Pensacola Bahia grass is the predominant grass you cut with it?

Saw some Bahia grass starting to put on heads today. It was 93° yesterday also. Won’t be long now before it will be wide open.

Are any of you guys running the new battery powered equipment commercially? I have been using a 58 Echo string trimmer for a while now. I bought my first one last August and it literally shocked me how good it was. I just bought a second one to have as a backup when I start up this spring. It...

When you plant a 3540 how long does it take before it comes up?

Getting ready to put it on the ground earlier last week and let it rip.

I have a 58 volt Weedeater that will accept the PAS tools. Last week I used an edger on it for a while. I am amazed every time I use this thing at what it will do. I don't see me ever going back to gas powered equipment for weed eating, chainsaw, hedge trimmers and hand held blower. I have cut...

I have a Tiger Cat with a 52" deck that the sand has eaten alive. is there any place that any of you know of that one can purchase a new deck cheaper than from a dealer? The dealers want in the $1200 to $1300 range for just the deck with paint and decals. That is no bearings, spindles, or...

I bought a 58 volt chainsaw a few days ago. It came with the 4 OA battery. I was shocked and amazed at how it cut. That is incredible. I could not see where a homeowner or even a commercial guy would want a gas chainsaw over one of these. I have other 58 volt Echo equipment with this battery...

I purchased a 58 volt Echo weedeater and a 58 volt hand held blower. I ran them for the first time today. It was amazing to me how much run time the trimmer had and how powerful it is.

I saw one of the new Echo PAS units this past week. I was impressed with it. Have any of you folks used one and if so what were your results?

Two week intervals. Temp in the high 70's and 80's at night. Rain most days in the afternoon. This is when it gets real in Lower Alabama.

I purchased my first finish mower last week. It is a Big Bee 72". It is several years old and has seen a lot of grass. I needed something to utilize my Kubota tractor on large acreage. it will not cut grass with the Tiger Cats but i have an air-conditioned cab on my Kubota. I can run it on large...

We were not gettin the performance we needed on our latest Tiger Cat II. We placed it on a cement slab and checked the deck. It was high in the front. We dropped it till the deck was 1/4" lower in the front. That was a game changer on tall grass. 1/4" lower on the front with the inside front...

I bought a Big Bee 72" finish mower this week to pull behind my Kubota Tractor. Have any of you guys ever had one of them? if you have tell me about it.

Do any of you guys run a bush hog type cutter? If you do, how many hours do you figure you will get out of a set of blades? Do you ever take them off and sharpen them?.... Give me your input.

We like many others I am sure change blades very frequently on our Scags. The nut being on top with the bolt going through the shaft is a game changer for changing blades and has many advantages in my opinion over the ones that are threaded in from the bottom. One hazard I have noticed that...

How long does it take for a Kubota Tractor to come up when you plant one? Yesterday was a rough day.

Made up my mind Friday. I am trading my ZG222 Kubota for a new Tiger Cat II. we have a bragger on it but have not used it but a very minimal amount for the last two years. This will make us have Four Tiger Cats. The ZG 222 is really not something we will run to cut grass.

Have any of you guys tried this product? If so tell me about it. https://edgit.com/products/edgit-pro

We started running commercially in August of 2012. It was something that I had wanted to do for several years but just could not make myself jump in. I had cut grass off and on small scale since I was a kid. I was 55 years old at the time. There were numerous people that told me that there were...

Not sure about lots of places but it is we are already getting started and it is just the last week in Feb. We ran till Dec. it has been a short winter for us although it was a cold one for the short times we had winter. Actually got snow twice that struck. If this sun shines a few more days we...

I have seen several threads on Scag Mowers blowing fuses over the time I have been on the forum. We have been having that problem with one of my Tiger Cats for a god while. Normally once or twice a day. It will normally be the fuse for the charging system and when it blows the mower won't start...

If you were going to buy a Cheeta with a 72" Deck, What engine would you choose and why? Go.

Hope any of you folks that are in the path are prepared. Looks like it is going to be a bad girl. Florida is going to get pounded. Unless it goes west more than expected we are going to dodge the bullet. We are on the very edge of the cone of uncertainty.

One of my Tiger Cats turned over 1600 hours this past week. How many hours do you have on one? That particular machine was purchased new on July 2014. I plan on running that one attest one or two more years commercially. It has the 22 hp Kawasaki on it.

I need a bed definer to use on one of my PAS Echos. I read some where that they recommend using a 280 power head to run it. Has anybody had any experience with one of these and if so will a PAS 266 run it? I tried a PAS 280 unit year before last and had no success with it. We tried one and...

We broke a pump belt on another one of our mowers yesterday. Had a spare on the truck. Within less than 10 minutes it had a new belt on it and was running again.

This was Bahia Grass that was cut 14 days ago. It was a mess and about half way through it started raining. It has rained here more days than not since May. This was a mess and has been every time that we have cut it this year. We cut it in one pass with the Scags. It is 4 acres.

I have three Tiger Cat Scags with Kawasaki engines. I love them and have had incredible success with them. However lately I have had electrical problems with all of them. It seems like I get one out of the shop and another one is going in. I just got one out today (The newest one) and took one...

We changed the main deck belt on my oldest Tiger Cat yesterday. We ran this belt 590 hours. The mower has over 1500 hours on it and this is the second time it has been changed. That is a pretty good run time I think. Especially since it has been cutting two and three week old bahia grass all...

Was working the other day and met a guy that said he is a Flat Earther. I had never heard of such. I thought literally that this was a joke. He was sincere. I started asking questions after I stopped laughing. Every question I asked him he answered. This was one of the most intriguing...

It has rained every day now for like 3 or 4 weeks here in Lower Alabama and the nights are getting warmer. The Bahia Grass seems to have caught another gear. We changed blades the third time to finish the day today. It is going to be a long summer it seems.

I have a Time Master 30" mower that we have used since 2014. I have been told that Toro makes a 30" that is like the time Master but is a commercial model. However I can't locate one. I was told that it is heavier duty and has an Oil Filter and better air filtration system. Is that true and if...

Does anybody on here own a Toro Hover Pro mower? I had never seen such till yesterday when one of my workers showed me one operating on a video. A lawn mower without wheels.

Monday we had the opportunity to run a new Turf Tiger II for a few hours. We were on a large property and ran it with two Tiger Cats. The Tiger Cats in my opinion and one of my workers as well had a better cut than the Turf Tiger II. Obviously the Turf Tiger with the 61"deck wold cover more...

I have three Tiger Cat Scags. The oldest was purchased in July of 2014. It has over 1200 hours on it. I pulled the deck out from under it a few days ago to go over the back scalping rolls that were work out. It is completely work out. It is worn through on the top. We welded a patch on the top...

They are saying that it is supposed to rain here tonight and tomorrow. I understand that it used to do that frequently. It has been so long that nobody seems to be sure what it is like.

Beautiful color. Very clean.

It is that time of year. Pine straw is falling beautifully in Lower Alabama. I hope we can start baling tomorrow. I have found several small locations to bale on. Hope I can post some pictures this week.

I jut got off the phone with a company called TaskEasy. They want me to do some foreclosure properties for them. Have any of you ever worked for them before? Do any of you know anything about them? Thanks.

Do any of you have a good remedy for Poison Ivy. It normally does not bother me but I have a good case of it.

Yesterday morning I was cutting grass with one of my Scag Tiger Cat mowers. It was a very wet morning and the grass we were cutting had been cut a week to the day. It was fairly heavy grass even though it was only a week away cut. Anyway I smelled hot grease like a bearing getting hot. I...

Where are you guys that run Echo trimmers getting your parts like air and fuel filters? Is there some where that is cheaper than the local dealers? I have 3 PAS 266 Trimmers and two PAS 225 trimmers and some other Echo equipment and would like to find another location to purchase that sort of...

I have a PAS 266 Echo that the throttle trigger broke in the handle. I ordered a new one three weeks ago from the local dealer. It finally came in. The one that came in was the wrong one. I looked at some sources on line to try to find one so that I could get running. All of the sources I see...

What kind of mowers are you guys using to cut grass in cemeteries? We cut two and might be interested in doing something different than what we are doing.

Hey guys, What is the highest hours you have seen on a Scag mower?

It is so hot in Lower Alabama today that we are having to feed the chickens ice cubes to keep them from laying hard boiled eggs. I saw one hen pulling worms out of the ground with oven mitts on. It is getting so dry that the trees are chasing the dogs.

Here are my three Scags getting ready to run in the morning.

I cut a yard today that is about an acre. It is mixed with part being centipede and part having bahia grass. I have cut it probably 50 times or so and today the bahia was the toughest I have ever seen it. In fact about every yard we cut today that had some bahia grass in it and it worked on my...
