Scag Tiger Cat II In Action with Clam Shell Bagger

We are a local lawn and landscaping company based out of Freeburg IL. Family owned/operated and started from the ground up. My brother (Nic) and I (Alex) are doing our best to build a company we will be happy to work in. It has been an adventure and a struggle at times but I wouldn’t trade it for the world! We began our journey on youtube to document our company history and we would be happy to have you along for the ride! We have big dreams and have hardly scratched the surface of where we want to be.

    Alex do you guys get a premium on bagging service. Or is it included on your summer lawns ? We go year around here in Florida and I like to charge a premium on bagging. So I was curious how you "snowbirds" handle it 🤣 Also what crops grow around your property ? Your property would look great bordered in some type of Evergreen 👍🌲

    Alex we are the same here with not bagging. It is best to mulch grass back into the soil. We have mostly Bahia and Augustine Grasses with a few Zoysia lawns. Mid summer the Augustine and Zoysia yards get a little thick and create excess layover. So every now and then someone will ask me to bag. I have an "Accelerator" bagger that I sometimes have to use. It does a good job but it feels up to fast. It is no big deal to double or TRIPLE cut the small cookie cutter yards. But you really feel it on the larger 1 acre lots. So a bagger like this would be nice. But the prices on these things are steep. So this is where the question about what you charge comes from. I was thinking something like say a 60.00 lawn would cost you per say 90.00 if you had to bag. Just trying to get a fill on what others do or think. 👊

    No offense but you are a pro and the video does not due. Any justice to the mower you’re one handing it! And you run a round in a circle. On a yard that clearly doesn’t need to be cut. And pov shot you’re not even showing how beautiful the Tiger Cat 2 is. I had that same year set up with Kohler command pro 52” and a stripe kit on it for my one acre yard. Over kill. Yes but that mower flys first of all it has Parker pumps w/ separate wheel motor’s you want to talk about classy. Responsive Ii had 3 badboy mower’s and a gravely. Needless to say nothing touches the tiger cat 2 for that price. I think I paid 10200.00 for the scag with the stripper installed. Now the clamshell is another 5300.00 and some change. But unless you go with the turf tiger2 and a 61” deck and the kobota diesel. J/s like I said show the mower in your next video. Plz I’ll watch for it.
