Scag Turf Tiger II 61″ Briggs & Stratton 40HP Simply the Brave

Description

Scag Turf Tiger II 61 Inch Simply the Brave Zero-Turn

This is the Simply the Brave Turf Tiger II, the 61 inch 40 horsepower Vanguard machine in the programme’s tan finish, at the same price as the standard mower.

A Part Number Worth Reading Carefully

Scag lists this machine as STTII-61V-40BV-EFI-T, without the NFT that appears in the equivalent Simply the Brave part numbers on the Cheetah, Tiger Cat, V-Ride II and V-Ride XL. That is consistent with Scag offering no factory no-flat tire option on the Turf Tiger at all. Anyone expecting airless tires because the other programme machines have them should confirm before ordering.

• Cutting width: 61 inches, Velocity Plus cutter deck
• Engine: Vanguard BIG BLOCK EFI, 40 HP
• Finish: Simply the Brave tan livery
• Deck drive: driveshaft
• Fuel capacity: 12 gallons
• Cutting height: 1.5 to 6 inches in quarter-inch increments

Flat-Free Casters Where the Drives Cannot Be

With no factory airless option on this line, the available protection is at the front. Flat-free caster tires are an accessory across the Scag range and the casters are where most punctures happen anyway, since they take the thorns and screws while carrying less rubber. On a machine with no other option it is the sensible fitment.

Checking Tyres That Cannot Be Upgraded

On a line with no airless option the pneumatic tyres are what you have, so they deserve the attention that a no-flat package would otherwise remove the need for. Weekly pressure checks and a look along the sidewalls for cuts and kerb scuffing catch most failures before they strand a machine, and a plug kit on the trailer handles the rest.

Comparing the Two Liveried Turf Tigers

The Warrior STTII-61V-40BV-EFI-P is the same machine in the alternative finish at the same price, and the STTII-61V-40BV-EFI is the standard version. Bluebird supplies its own 61 inch Turf Tiger with airless tires as the STTII-61V-40BV-EFI-NFT-BB.
