    Bahia Grass in the Southern US Comparison

    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.

    58 Volt PAS Weed eater

    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...

    Echo 58 volt chain saw

    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...

    Tiger Cat II deck adjustment

    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...

    Safety Issue take note

    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...

    Getting a new Tiger Cat II

    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.

    Changed main deck belt on a Tiger Cat yesterday

    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...

    Turf Tiger II vs Tiger Cat

    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...

    Puzzling occurrence

    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...

    Bahia Grass is kicking now

    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...
