Description
In commercial lawn care, efficiency is everything—and the SCAG Cheetah II is engineered to dominate large-scale mowing with superior speed, precision, and durability. Its advanced two-speed Hydro-Gear ZT-5400 transaxle system enables operators to switch between Low Range (up to 19.3 km/h) for controlled mowing and High Range (up to 25.7 km/h) for rapid transport or wide-open cutting. This flexibility allows professionals to adapt instantly to different terrains and job requirements.
At the heart of the Cheetah II is a choice of high-output Kawasaki® or Briggs Vanguard™ engines (31–37HP), built to handle demanding commercial workloads. The renowned Velocity Plus™ cutter deck delivers the industry’s best cut quality with a 72-inch swath, ultra-tough cast-iron spindles, and a powerful Ogura GT5 clutch for consistent blade engagement.
Operator comfort is equally impressive. A fully adjustable suspension platform isolates the operator from bumps and vibration, while ergonomic controls and a low center of gravity ensure stable, confident handling even at high speeds. The Tiger Eye™ Advanced Monitoring System keeps operators informed in real time, while easy-service design features minimize downtime.
Built with SCAG’s legendary commercial ruggedness, the Cheetah II is the mower of choice for professionals who want maximum productivity without compromising cut quality or reliability.
