Scag V-Ride LS 42″ Briggs & Stratton 20HP

Description

Scag V-Ride LS 42 Inch Stand-On Mower with 20 HP Briggs CXi

A 42 inch stand-on with a 20 horsepower Briggs CXi. Forty-two inches is a width Scag offers nowhere else in its stand-on range, and that makes this machine genuinely difficult to substitute.

A Deck Width the Rest of the Range Skips

The V-Ride II runs 32, 36, 48, 52 and 61 inches; the XL runs 52, 61 and 72. Neither offers 42. For a crew whose properties sit between the tight back gardens a 36 handles and the open ground a 48 suits, this is the only stand-on Scag makes that fits, and the nearest alternatives are four inches narrower or six inches wider.

• Cutting width: 42 inches, Hero cutter deck
• Engine: Briggs CXi Series, 20 HP
• Tracking width: 36 inches
• Forward speed: up to 7 mph
• Fuel capacity: 6.75 gallons
• Weight: 730 lbs

Four Inches Is Worth More Than It Sounds

Moving from 36 to 42 inches removes roughly one pass in seven on any given lawn, and the extra transport width is only six inches. On a route of small to medium commercial properties that is close to free productivity, which is why this width is worth seeking out rather than settling for whatever is in stock.

Find Out What Actually Fits Before Buying

An unusual deck width is only worth seeking out if it genuinely matches your properties. Measuring the narrowest access on the three or four sites that most constrain your route, before ordering, is what turns 42 inches from a curiosity into the right answer.

Where 42 Inches Sits

The SVLS-42H-18FSE is the Kawasaki version at a premium. Below it the 36 inch machines suit tighter access and above it the 48 inch models cover more open ground. Nothing else in Scag’s stand-on catalog occupies this width.
