SCAG Cheetah II Zero Turn Ride On Mower 61 Inch Deck

When it comes to commercial lawn care, time is money, and efficiency is everything. The SCAG Cheetah II™ zero-turn mower has emerged as a game-changer in the industry, combining blistering speed with precision cutting to help lawn care professionals maximize their productivity without compromising on quality.

Built for Speed and Performance

The Cheetah II lives up to its predatory namesake with impressive speed capabilities that set it apart from conventional zero-turn mowers. With its two-speed ZT-5400 transaxle system, operators can choose between Low Range for speeds up to 19.3 km/h or High Range for an impressive 25.7 km/h. This dual-speed functionality allows professionals to adapt their approach based on terrain conditions and job requirements – cruising through open areas at top speed or dialing back for more fuel-efficient operation on challenging terrain.

The heart of this speed system lies in the Hydro-Gear ZT-5400 transaxle, featuring internal 16cc pumps and 21cc motors that deliver the power and torque needed to maintain these high speeds while reducing potential leak points through its streamlined design.

Precision Cutting Technology

Speed means nothing without quality, and the Cheetah II delivers both through its innovative Velocity Plus™ cutter deck system. This 72-inch cutting deck has earned industry recognition for its exceptional quality-of-cut and wide, even discharge pattern. The deck features ultra-tough cast-iron spindles with tapered roller bearings and top-mounted grease fittings with relief valves to prevent over-greasing – ensuring consistent performance and easy maintenance.

The robust Ogura GT5 PTO Clutch Brake provides excellent starting and stopping power for the cutter deck, with 350 ft. lb. of holding strength and an adjustable air gap designed for extended service life. This combination ensures clean, precise cuts even at the mower's maximum operating speeds.

Engineered for Comfort and Control

High-speed operation demands superior operator comfort and control, areas where the Cheetah II excels. The mower features an advanced Operator Suspension System with five adjustable settings from soft to firm, effectively isolating the operator from rough terrain effects. A coil-over shock system provides targeted suspension action exactly where it's needed, while the seat's 4-point rubber iso-mounting delivers additional shock absorption for all-day comfort.

The ergonomic design extends to the controls, with oversized steering and speed control arms that make the mower agile and easy to maneuver despite its substantial size and capabilities. The wide mower stance and extra-low center of gravity enhance stability, particularly important when operating at high speeds.

Smart Technology Integration

Modern lawn care operations benefit from real-time information, which the Cheetah II provides through its Tiger Eye™ Advanced Monitoring System. This intelligent system monitors various mower functions in real-time, giving operators valuable operational data at a glance from the operator's seat. Additionally, a 12-volt outlet allows operators to keep mobile devices charged and ready throughout their workday.

Built to Last

The Cheetah II's robust construction ensures years of dependable service in demanding commercial applications. Its solid design philosophy extends throughout the machine, from the replaceable front caster-wheel weldment to the flip-up components and easily accessible grease points that simplify routine maintenance. This thoughtful engineering means less time in the shop and more time generating revenue on job sites.

Power Options

To handle the demanding requirements of commercial mowing, the Cheetah II offers substantial power options ranging from 31 to 37 horsepower. Operators can choose between Kawasaki® or Briggs Vanguard™ air-cooled engines, with electronic fuel injection (EFI) options available for enhanced fuel efficiency and performance.
