All specifications on this page were taken directly from SCAG, the manufacturer. Figures from SCAG V-Ride II specifications, checked November 2, 2026: SCAG V-Ride II specifications. The OEM spec table says tri-plate decks throughout and that the 32 in model features dual-plate; the 36 in column is therefore tri-plate by that statement.
Small frame or big frame
This stand-on comes in two sizes of machine. The 32 and 36-inch models run Hydro-Gear 10 cc pumps with Parker 12 ci motors, and top out at 8.5 mph. They weigh 818 and 832 lb. With the deck out, they're 43 and 47.75 inches wide.
From 48 inches up, the pumps grow to 12 cc and the Parker motors to 14 ci. Top speed climbs to 10.5 mph. Weight runs from 1,000 to 1,173 lb, and the 61 measures 73.5 inches wide. Reverse is 5 mph across the range.
Power follows the same split. The small pair runs a Kawasaki FX or a Vanguard at 16 to 23 hp. The 48 and 52 run 22 to 26 and 23 to 37 hp. The 61 tops the range at 26 to 40 hp, with EFI engines from Kohler, Kawasaki and Vanguard.
Why crews stand to mow
A stand-on lets you step off to open a gate or move a limb, then step right back on. If you mow for a living, that adds up across a day. A crew cutting a string of small yards feels it most.
Decks differ by size. The 32-inch is an Advantage dual-plate and the 36-inch an Advantage tri-plate. From 48 inches, it's SCAG's Velocity Plus tri-plate, nearly half an inch of steel in total. Cutting height runs 1.5 to 4.5 inches on all five.
At 43 inches, the 32-inch slips through gates the wider decks can't. That's the one for fenced backyards. Fuel runs from 5 gallons on the 32 to 8 gallons from 48 inches up. Need a wider deck and more cutting height? Look at the V-Ride XL.

Questions people ask
How narrow is the 32-inch SCAG V-Ride II?
It's 43 inches wide with the deck out. It weighs 818 lb and runs a Kawasaki FX or Vanguard engine at 16 to 23 hp. If you're mowing backyards behind narrow gates, it's the one you'll want to measure first.
What engines does a 61-inch SCAG V-Ride II offer?
You can pick a Kohler Command PRO EFI, a Kawasaki FT or FX EFI, or a Vanguard Big Block EFI. They're rated 26 to 40 hp. That model carries 8 gallons of fuel and tops out at 10.5 mph, so it's ready for big ground.
What deck does SCAG put on the V-Ride II?
That depends on size. The 32-inch has an Advantage dual-plate deck and the 36-inch an Advantage tri-plate. The 48, 52 and 61 get the Velocity Plus tri-plate, three steel plates nearly half an inch thick in total. You'll get 1.5 to 4.5 inches of cutting height on each.
