Three wide decks
SCAG lists this stand-on as pre-production. The figures it publishes are preliminary, and they're subject to change. Keep that in mind as you compare.
All three decks run 38 to 40 hp. The 52 and 72 offer a Kawasaki FX EFI or a Vanguard Big Block EFI. The 61 adds a Kohler Command PRO EFI. Each carries 12 gallons of fuel, so a long day doesn't mean a lot of stops.
Size climbs quickly. The 52 weighs 1,150 to 1,179 lb and measures 65.25 inches with the deck out. The 61 runs 1,201 to 1,266 lb at 73.5 inches. The 72 runs 1,264 to 1,293 lb at 83 inches. Rear tires are 24 x 9.5-12 on the 52 and 24 x 12-12 on the bigger two.
Built for a crew's long days
The drive is a dual pump-and-motor setup: Hydro-Gear 16 cc pumps with 18 ci motors. Forward speed tops out at 11.6 mph, and reverse is 5 mph. Front tires are 13 x 6.5-6 on all three.
The deck is SCAG's Velocity Plus tri-plate, nearly half an inch of steel across three plates. Cutting height runs 2 to 6 inches. That high end helps when the grass has gotten away from you in a wet spring.
A 72-inch stand-on is a crew tool. If you're cutting big commercial grounds and stepping off and on through the day, it's worth asking about. Think about your trailer, too: 83 inches is a wide load next to other mowers. For a smaller frame and narrower decks, look at the V-Ride II.

Questions people ask
Are the SCAG V-Ride XL specs final?
Not yet. SCAG marks this mower as pre-production, and the figures it publishes are preliminary. They can change. If you're planning around a deck width or a weight, call the store and ask what SCAG lists now. You'll want firm numbers before you decide.
How wide is a SCAG V-Ride XL with the 72-inch deck?
SCAG's preliminary figure is 83 inches with the deck out. The 61-inch measures 73.5 inches and the 52-inch 65.25. You'll want to measure your trailer and gates against those numbers. The 72 weighs 1,264 to 1,293 lb, also preliminary.
What cutting height does SCAG's V-Ride XL have?
It's 2 to 6 inches by SCAG's preliminary figures, on all three decks. That 6-inch top end is handy when you're cutting grass that's grown tall between visits. The deck is a Velocity Plus tri-plate built from three steel plates.
How much does a SCAG V-Ride XL mower cost?
We keep current pricing on our live inventory page at j5tractors.com, where our Navasota stores list the SCAG mowers they have. Pricing depends on the model and how it's equipped, so check the listing for the 52 in, 61 in and 72 in. If the one you want isn't listed, call the store.
