Scag 61in Patriot Commercial Zero-Turn Lawn Mower - SPZ-61H-23FX
Built to deliver low-maintenance and high-performance operation, the Patriot™ makes a statement; it says you’re a hardworking lawn care professional that believes in getting a job done right. In other words, this machine is built to make money and leave your customers—and their neighbors—saluting your handiwork.
A one-piece, solid, forged rotor means no chance of internal parts separating. The rotors also have an even wall thickness around the coil which gives optimum flux distribution, maximizing torque.
All models include our special long-life grease which has shown a significant improvement in life over other standard high-temperature greases.
When the rotor and armature have worn away, a simple adjustment can be made to bring the clutch back into specification.
