  How would one go about changing the blades on this? Does it tip up to 90 degrees on its back?

• 
  @ChazNosloc2 ай бұрын

  Changing the blades is pretty easy. I lift the lawnmower to the highest cut setting, which makes the lawnmower pretty high. And then I just tip it back on to the push handle and it stays up. I was able to use a battery impact wrench to remove and install the blades. One thing I particularly like about this mower is that the blades are not synced, so you don’t have to worry about the position of the blades when you put them back on.

  You are correct the Kohler manual does not specify how much oil it takes. It does say to fill the oil to the top of the oil dipstick indicator. I started with half a quart and checked it and then I just kept adding until I was comfortable where it was full.

  It seems to be marketed as a "commercial-grade" but certainly targeting home use as well, according to SCAG site, "FINISH CUT WALK-BEHIND Welded and fabricated using military-grade steel for years of dependable performance, the SFC-30 Finish Cut Walk-Behind Mower is no pushover. Packing big productivity and versatility into a compact form, this commercial-grade machine delivers a beautiful, professional quality-of-cut, helping you put the finishing touches on the job or at home." As a homeowner, I too am leaning towards this SCAG vs the TimeMaster.

  I don’t have any of the issues you are having with wet grass and bogging. I mow damp/wet grass often up here in Seattle, and it really does a great job. The cut is perfect like a level. Yes it is very, very heavy and it took me a while to get used to the weight & how to maneuver it around. But now that it’s been a couple months, I’ve adapted quite well to it and like it. And yes, there could be some improvements made, no doubt about it. I’m sorry you’re having some issues with it and you’re not very pleased with it.

  @@ChazNosloc in New England we’ve had a lot of rain this year but nothing I wouldn’t expect a commercial mower to complain about. This scag boggs down, and the deck gets clogged even with side shoot on it I have to unclog it about every other pass. I wait until high noon or late afternoon hoping the sun will evaporate the dewy moisture on the lawn before cutting it. My push mowers have struggled in the past, but nothing like this scag does. Goodluck with your mower, I will try to adapt to mine but my lawn is a mixture of thick clover and grass as well. I expected more from this mower.

  I had my grandpa get the mower since I take care of his yard work. He gad two mowers and we both wanted to have just one to lower maintenance costs some. He has about 1/2 acre for sure. If I could do it again, I may pass on this mower. I love the made in USA stuff and fell for the quality. But now I'm just hoping I don't have the issues others have. My dealer is 30 miles away and Scag seems hit and miss on support. This mower needs some Improvements, mostly weight and a drive system overhaul similar to what the SFC 21 has, which I own. Also larger diameter rear wheels may help it from getting stuck as much which is common for me.

  @@daryldaryl887 Honestly, the SFC 21 mower has been far better and easier to manage. If you ever get one(assuming you haven't purchased a scag) be sure to check the manufacturer date. I didn't and was sold a 2021 SFC 30 when I bought last year. Scag made a few upgrades in 2022 but probably not enough to make the mower much better. I reached out to the dealer and company but they basically said tough luck, so that sucked. But if you wanted a SFC 21, my advice is wait a few months to see if they upgrade that unit anymore. According to the dealer and scag themselves, they release new models in late spring, early summer. Just check the website and call a local dealer of Scag. Given Scag just released the SFC 21 last year, it might have and improved feature or two. Overall, I like the 21 really well and don't see much to worry about, in terms of changing it.
