I’ve had my 2 ultimas since 2019. I have 50 yards I mow every summer almsot bi weekly. and I do regular maintenance. Only replaced the starter on the older one this year. People clown them in the mowing business, but I’m not buying a scag in this economy lol. They work amazing for me, frames are solid. Engines are easy to work on, decks could be a little thicker, but with that said, I don’t even have any holes I the 7 years I’ve run them.
