Scag Mower Appraisal

Scag Tiger Cat II Zero-Turn Riding Lawn Mower

The item is a commercial-grade zero-turn riding lawn mower, specifically identified by a visible 'Scag Tiger Cat' decal on the operator's console, indicating it's likely a Scag Tiger Cat II or similar model. Its primary color is a distinctive orange, typical of Scag models. The mower features a robust metal chassis and cutting deck, designed for heavy-duty use. Physical characteristics include large rear drive wheels with aggressive tread patterns, suggesting good traction, and smaller, solid front caster wheels for maneuverability. The operator's seat is black and appears to be made of a durable, weather-resistant material. Notable features include a visible internal combustion engine at the rear, suggesting a powerful gas-powered unit, and a broad cutting deck mounted beneath the front of the machine, equipped with multiple blades for efficient grass cutting. Perforated metal foot platforms are on either side of the operator's area. Distinguishing elements include the tiger stripe pattern on the rear fender wells, a common aesthetic for Scag Tiger Cat models, and dual control levers for steering, characteristic of zero-turn mowers. Visible condition issues include significant accumulation of dirt and grass clippings, indicating regular use and a need for cleaning. There are areas of paint wear and scratches on the deck and frame, consistent with operational use and minor impacts. Slight surface rust may be present in some exposed metal areas. The tires show wear but retain good tread. Manufacturing details include the clear 'Scag Tiger Cat' branding. The style period is contemporary, likely within the last 5-15 years, given the design and evident technology for commercial zero-turn mowers. The craftsmanship appears to be of high quality, typical for commercial landscaping equipment, with heavy-gauge steel construction and robust components designed for longevity and demanding professional use.
