Scag Turf Tiger II 61″ Kohler 25HP

Description

Scag Turf Tiger II 61 Inch Propane Zero-Turn with 25 HP Kohler EFI

The 61 inch propane Turf Tiger II runs a fuel-injected 25 horsepower Kohler on LP, and it is the configuration most institutional buyers choosing propane actually want, because 61 inches suits the open ground those contracts cover.

Fuel That Does Not Expire

A petrol machine used seasonally carries a fuel problem from the moment it is parked. Propane does not degrade, does not absorb water and does not varnish a fuel system over a winter. For a grounds department whose mowers work hard from April to October and sit from November to March, that alone removes the commonest cause of a spring no-start across a whole fleet.

• Cutting width: 61 inches, Velocity Plus cutter deck
• Engine: Kohler EFI, 25 HP, propane fuelled
• Fuel: 33.5 lb LP cylinder
• Forward speed: up to 12 mph
• Drive tires: 26 x 12-12
• Cutting height: 1.5 to 6 inches in quarter-inch increments

Cold Mornings and Cylinder Pressure

Propane delivers gas by its own vapour pressure, and that pressure falls as temperature drops. On a cold start in early spring a nearly empty cylinder can struggle where a full one would not, which reads to an operator as a machine that will not run properly. Starting the day on a full cylinder rather than finishing yesterday’s is the practical answer.

Keep a Log of Cylinder Changes

Propane gives no fuel gauge in the way a tank does, so a crew running several machines quickly loses track of which cylinders are full. Marking each one as it comes off, and recording changes against machine hours, turns guesswork into a schedule and prevents the mid-morning stop that propane was supposed to avoid.

Choosing Propane at 61 Inches

The STTII-52V-25CH-LP-EFI is the narrower propane machine for tighter sites. On petrol, the STTII-61V-38CH-EFI and STTII-61V-40BV-EFI cover this width with considerably more power for less money, so propane needs to be a requirement rather than a preference to justify it.
