Value of a used Scag Turf Tiger?

greenred · Aug 23, 2010

Hello,

I own a 2009 Scag Turf Tiger that I purchased new last year. It has a Kohler Ageis 32HP EFI Liquid cooled engine and a 61inch mowing deck. At this point I have only put about 17 hours of use on it.

I am considering selling it. I have a price in mind that I think its worth, but I would like to get some others opinions of what its worth so I can see if I am way over or under.

Thanks

Are you Redgreen's non identical twin?:laughing: Really wide mower, they are fast aren't they, no wonder you have low hours. Do you like it?

My neighbor who is a commercial mower who runs Ferris and one Scag Turf Tiger. When he trades in every 2 years with about 400 hours he gets about 60% of the cost new. Its just like anything. It takes a hit once off the show room floor. I would think 80% of new would be best hope no matter how clean it is. Remember, you are fighting not only it being used (even though lightly), but also the great financing all ZTR's have on them right now. Many can be had for 0% or I have even seen 1.9% for 60 month or more.

I love my Scag. It has one of the best cuts in the industry and is a Cadillac of a machine. But as you can see I have put such low hours on it since I bought it for personal use and I cant justify to myself letting it sit in my garage depreciating.

Yes there is quite a few good deals going and this economy sucks. But one thing about commercial mowing is when the economy takes a down turn, the business is swamped with guys trying to get into to make a extra buck or two on the side so hopefully there is some what of a market for it if I decide to sell.
