I had owned two Scag Turf Tigers 61" and found the 27 hp engine didn't provide enough power for the work I was doing. So I bought a 61" cut with a 35 hp engine but it had t0 be repaired so frequently that I had to buy another - kind of a "use one while the other is being repaired" scenario. Yes, I know, but at least I managed to get the grass cut. We'll see what problems this year brings.
