Mowing around all those edges requires an easy-to-maneuver lawn mower. Mowing this lush garden pathway is much easier, thanks to those wheels that swivel. That’s where walk-behind finish mowers come in handy. These smaller mowers can reach in under shrubbery, trim neatly along contoured beds, and fit through yard gates to mow small areas. The type of wheels a finish mower has can greatly affect how well it can do its job. Many walk-behind mowers have ordinary fixed wheels, front and back. The Scag SFC finish mowers however have swivel caster wheels on the front. Let’s look at the advantages of using a finish mower with front casters. Exceptional maneuverability Caster wheels make abrupt, precise turning much easier. The extra maneuverability makes a big difference not only when following contoured flower beds and mowing around trees and posts, but also when getting the mower out of the shed or off the trailer. Improved Mowing Quality When using a mower with traditional fixed wheels, the operator often needs to lift the front of the mower a bit when making sharp turns to the left or right. This creates an unevenly mowed area on the lawn. When a mower is outfitted with caster wheels, the operator can turn the mower quickly without needing to lift the front end. Less Turf Damage Since a mower equipped with caster wheels can make sharp turns without dragging the front wheels, there is less chance of damaging the turf. It is easy for any type of mower wheel to cause damage on thin or sensitive turf, but the risk is much reduced when using a finish mower with swivel wheels. Landscaping professionals who know the importance of caring for their clients’ properties value the extra protection that casters provide. Reduced Operator Fatigue Another advantage that goes along with not needing to lift the front of the mower on sharp turns is less operator fatigue. Commercial walk-behinds such as the Scag SFC are sturdy mowers, and a bit heavy to manhandle. A mower with front caster simply needs to be guided in the direction you need to go. Quicker Mowing Times It hardly needs to be said, but if an operator can maneuver a mower easily, while suffering less fatigue, he will get more mowing done in less time. This is especially valuable for landscaping crews who mow lawns all day long. For them, time is money.

They have praised the mower for its exceptional maneuverability, stability, and durability. Customers have also stated that the wheels have made mowing their lawns more comfortable and efficient.

Additionally, unexpected interaction with debris can cause blades to bend or scratch, increasing the likelihood that they will rust or provide a rather inconsistent cut that simply doesn’t look as good as the cut produced by a new set of blades. This is a perfectly normal situation and one that can be easily resolved by simply installing new, OEM Scag blades onto the mower before the next mowing outing takes place.
