Considering a new scut

Tractorable · Feb 10, 2019

How about keep the JD riding mower and get a new SCUT with MMM, that way you and your wife could tag team mowing the yard? All the brands are pretty good these days.

Whats the deal with the "Rural King" scut? Any good? Brochure makes them look attractive

There are a few threads on them. TYM rebranded. I think the jury is still out on them.

The main concern is Rural King going the way of Cabelas, and dumping their tractor division. The units themselves are rebadged TYMs, the same as a lot of Mahindras. I wouldn't worry about the tractor, only if the service is going to be available in the future.

Check out Outdoors with the Morgan’s on YouTube for more info on the RK tractors. RK is letting Mike use three of their tractors for two years on his property in exchange for his honest assessment.

No reason for that. We have an RK section right here on this board with a RK rep often answering questions.

Good info guys! Appreciate it.

Might have to make some time to go to a massey dealer and poke around. Nearest one is about 70 miles from me i believe

Fit a FEL to your 1510, sell the JD, get a small commercial ZTR to mow with. Best use of time & money.

Now, if you just want a new SCUT, have at it. Test drive all you can, pick your fav.

That's a good attitude to have. I find myself falling into the mindset of needing being somehow better than wanting, and I'm not the only one on the forum who does. If you want a SCUT, buy a SCUT.
