Scag V-Ride II 52″ Kawasaki 26HP

Description

Scag V-Ride II 52 Inch California Compliant Stand-On with Kawasaki FT EFI

This is the 52 inch V-Ride II certified for sale and use in California, running the fuel-injected 26 horsepower Kawasaki FT Series. Deck, frame and drive are identical to the standard machine; the difference is entirely in how the engine is certified.

Two Certifications, Two Parts Lists

The consequence a fleet manager feels is not at purchase but at the first service. A compliant engine can carry different emissions-related components from its federal equivalent, which means the filter or part number that fits one machine on the rack may not fit the one beside it. Fleets operating either side of a state line are usually better off standardising on the compliant version throughout rather than maintaining two parallel service inventories for what looks like the same mower.

• Cutting width: 52 inches, Velocity Plus cutter deck
• Engine: Kawasaki FT Series EFI, 26 HP, California certified
• Fuel capacity: 8 gallons
• Forward speed: up to 10.5 mph
• Tracking width: 48 inches
• Weight: 1,000 to 1,022 lbs

Check the Label on Delivery

Emissions certification lives on a label on the engine, not on the mower’s serial plate, and it is worth confirming at handover rather than at an inspection. Photographing the label when the machine arrives and filing it with the purchase paperwork takes a minute and settles any later question about which unit in a fleet is which, particularly once machines have been through a season and the label is under a layer of dust.

Matching the Compliant Machine to Your Deck Width

If California is where you work and 52 inches is your width, this is the configuration. The SVRII-48V-26FT-EFI-CA covers gated properties at 48 inches and the SVRII-61V-26FT-EFI-CA opens up to 61 for larger ground. Outside California none of the three offers any advantage, and the standard SVRII-52V-26FT-EFI is the same machine without the certification premium.
