Scag 36 walk behind counter weights

[Livinthedream]

I was wondering if anyone has an idea about some weights for the front of my 36 inch walk behind. Contacted Scag and no solution was given. Had a dealer call me and he said he never heard of a problem with it popping wheelies on hills.

my dad had trouble with that problem. It is common in rear wheel driven mowers where the owner pushes down or leans on it instead of just pushing forward. The rear wheel torque wants to lift the front. The easy fix is just push forwards or slightly up and forward. Or buy a front wheel driven mower.

I’ve seen some options but none seem to fit. I definitely have to man handle it to hold it down.

maybe mow on a diagonal.

Yep, think creatively.
