Scag Tiger Cat II 52″ Briggs & Stratton 28HP

Description

Scag Tiger Cat II 52 Inch Zero-Turn with 28 HP Vanguard EFI

This configuration puts a fuel-injected 28 horsepower Briggs Vanguard into the 52 inch Tiger Cat II. It sits between the 25 and 26 horsepower machines and the larger-engined options above them, and it is the Briggs entry at this deck width.

Where the Middle of a Range Makes Sense

Buyers tend to look at the cheapest and the most powerful machine in a width and treat everything between as filler. In practice the middle is where most crews should be, because it carries enough reserve for the bad weeks without paying for headroom that sits unused for the other forty. If your route has four difficult properties and sixteen ordinary ones, this is the shape of machine that fits it.

• Cutting width: 52 inches, Velocity Plus cutter deck
• Engine: Briggs Vanguard EFI, 28 HP
• Fuel capacity: 9.5 gallons
• Drive: dual Hydro-Gear 12 cc pumps, Parker 14.5 ci motors
• Forward speed: up to 12 mph
• Overall length: 80 inches

Deck Pedal and the Height Pin

Cutting height on the Tiger Cat is set with a foot-operated pedal and a pin, and the pin is the part that gets lost. Machines turn up with the deck at whatever height the last operator could improvise, and the cut suffers without anyone connecting the two. Keeping a spare pin taped inside a toolbox costs nothing and prevents a week of poor finishes.

Flat-Free Caster Tyres Are Worth Asking About

Most punctures on a commercial mower happen at the front rather than the rear, because the casters take the thorns and the screws while carrying less rubber. Flat-free casters are available across the range as an accessory and cost a fraction of a full airless drive package, which makes them the cheapest real reduction in downtime on offer.

Choosing Around the Middle

Below this, the STCII-52V-25CV-EFI and STCII-52V-26FT-EFI cover lighter duty for less. Above it the STCII-52V-34CV-EFI and STCII-52V-36BV carry substantially more engine for heavy growth. This is the machine for crews who do not know in advance which kind of week they are having.
