I like a Scag mower as well.

So I finally got a new mower after lots of kicking tires and thinking it over. It didn't help that it rained a lot at the end of Summer and my current mower started having issues. 

I was leaning towards a Scag Liberty Z. The local dealer didn't have the deck size I wanted but could order it. There's a Hustler dealer closer to the house and I stopped in to look. The Raptor SD looked really nice but the salesman mentioned Big Dog was running a rebate right now if you get the extended warranty. The Alpha MP is the same machine with better seat, led lights, I think a thicker deck and larger spindles, and bigger front tires. The rebate dropped the price to within $100 of the Hustler. 

I thought about it, transferred money to the checking account, hooked up the trailer and went to purchase on that Friday. Sold out. The break in the rain made for a busy couple of days where people were buying mowers. Had to wait a week for a new delivery. So I got one straight out of the crate with 0.1 hours on it.

Has the Kawasaki 23 hp engine. I put about 3 hours on it Friday evening. I must say, mowing with this is pretty comfortable. Didn't have the same beaten tired feeling as the old riding mower.

I ended up with the smalles Kubota they have, very impressed!
