Turf Tigers and Tiger Cats both have vertical shaft motors I think you will find.

Scag Turf Tigers have horizontal shaft engines!! Scag Tiger Cubs/Wildcats/Tiger Cats have vertical shaft engines!

Are the Tiger Cats alot slower than the Turf Tigers? When I ran my buddies Wildcat the other night it was SO SLOW. Hope the Tiger Cat isn't that slow too.

I don't think 10 mph is slow for a mower. Sure, some of the other models and brands go faster, but the faster you try to mow the lower your cut quality will be. I actually turned the lap bar adjustment bolts on my s150xt to slow it down a little so I could teach my daughter how to mow with it without running over something. I could remove the bolts and make it cut up to 12 mph, but I don't think it would cut nearly as well.

I'm not concerned about cutting real fast; I mow a empty lot in our subdivision thats down a few blocks. Be nice to get down there to it quicker haha.

I hear you on that one too. I usually borrow my dad's trailer when I need to transport my mower as well. He lives about 15 minutes away.

Yeah I own the trailer but sold my truck when had tk start commuting to work. So now my dad gets to keep the trailer at his place.
I believe the Cheetah is out of my budget.
