Scag SFC-21 21″ Kohler 7HP

Description

Scag SFC 21 Inch Commercial Push Mower with 7 HP Kohler Command

The most powerful 21 inch SFC, running a 7 horsepower Kohler Command. On a single-blade 21 inch deck that is a substantial amount of engine.

Power Matters Most in Wet Grass

A 21 inch mower rarely runs out of engine on dry turf, but wet grass is a different material entirely. It is heavier, it sticks to the deck, and it needs far more energy to lift and cut cleanly. Crews working mornings before dew lifts, or catching up after rain, find the difference between five and seven horsepower shows up immediately in whether the machine clogs.

• Cutting width: 21 inches
• Engine: Kohler Command, 7 HP
• Type: commercial finish-cut push mower
• Deck: single blade
• Rated for commercial use

Clean the Underside Daily, Not Weekly

A 21 inch deck packs with clippings faster in proportion to its size than a wide deck does, because there is less room for material to move. A machine that clogged yesterday and was put on the trailer wet will clog sooner today. Scraping it out at the end of each day, while material is still soft, is what keeps a small mower cutting like a large one.

Change the Oil More Often Than the Book Says

Small air-cooled engines run hot and hold very little oil, so the same number of hours degrades it far more than it would in a larger engine. Halving the published interval on a machine doing commercial hours costs very little and is the single most effective thing an owner can do for it.

Warm It Before Draining

Oil drains far more completely warm, taking suspended debris with it rather than leaving it behind.

Choosing Output on a 21

The SFC-21-5CV saves money at 5 horsepower and suits drier work. The SFC-21-4GX is the Honda option, and the SFC-21-7CV-CA is this same machine certified for California.
