Description
The Tiger Cat II 48″ brings commercial-grade mowing performance to properties where maneuverability is just as important as raw power. Its compact design allows operators to move confidently around trees, garden beds, gates, and narrow access points, while its Velocity Plus™ cutter deck ensures a premium finish at any height.
Powered by dependable Kawasaki® commercial engines, the Tiger Cat II delivers smooth acceleration and reliable torque in challenging Australian conditions. The dual Hydro-Gear® pumps and Parker® wheel motors provide responsive zero-turn control, while top speeds of up to 19.3 km/h forward make quick work of large areas.
Comfort plays a major role in productivity, and the Tiger Cat II excels here as well. A torsion-spring suspension seat, 4-point iso-mounting system, and ergonomic command centre reduce vibration and fatigue during long days. With dual 36-litre fuel tanks, cast-iron spindles, reinforced steel construction, and SCAG’s legendary reliability, this machine is built to perform day after day with minimal downtime.
