Description:

All business—even at home—the Freedom Z® is perfect for landscapers needing a machine that can go the distance or for the pro-at-home who owns a large-acreage lot. Commercial-quality through and through, this machine is comfortable anywhere the job needs to be done.

Features:

• Other manufacturers opt for less expensive, smaller-capacity, nonadjustable, “disposable” clutches. Not Scag®. Scag PTO clutch brakes are manufactured by Ogura, the world’s best manufacturer of electromagnetic clutches, providing smooth blade engagements and fast blade stops.
• All Ogura clutches feature an adjustable air gap. What does that mean to you? It means that when most clutches are worn out and must be replaced at a significant cost to YOU, the Ogura clutch can be easily adjusted to bring it back into specification (your Scag dealer can perform this adjustment).
• These clutches also feature industry-leading torque values (the holding power that links the engine to the cutter-deck drive system) to ensure solid drive to the cutter deck and no slipping in heavy conditions.

Engine:

The Briggs & Stratton® CXi Series V-Twin engines are specially designed for zero turn mowers and other high-debris applications to endure extended use in extreme conditions. These robust engines are built to get the job done.

Other features include:

• A patented 5-Step Debris Management System and cyclonic air filter to keep harmful debris out of the engine, extending engine life
• A V-Twin design that delivers more power and is naturally balanced for less vibration, runs cooler and cleaner, and includes Electronic Fuel Management for easy starting
• High inertia flywheel for reduced engine vibration, smoother power delivery and improved shock load acceptance
