G'day Mates. Land_Owner here and new to the Forum. I'm a homeowner and Hobby Farmer. I use a Massey Ferguson 275 for planting Wildlife Food Plots. I am considering the purchase of a 2008 Tiger Cat 48 with 1,300 hours on it. The shell looks great, is very clean, shows some rust on "bright metal" and coil spring parts where the mower has been not only used but stored in a Pole Barn and exposed to the salt-laden atmosphere of the Atlantic Coast in mid-Florida for the past 6-months. I have read all of the welcome posts, started SEARCH for "Tiger Cat" to read other's Q's and your A's, and am amassing a "Used Mower" set of questions for the current owner. It won't be my first TC but that first one, purchased brand new, and still with less than 250 hours on it, went to the Ex. I am hooked on commercial Scag though. No doubt about it. See you in the Forums with A LOT of follow-on questions.
