Achieve a signature, high-quality cut on tight residential lawns and commercial properties with the Scag® SFC-21 Commercial Finish-Cut Walk-Behind Mower powered by a commercial-grade Kohler® Command PRO® Engine (available in 5 HP CV173 or 7 HP CV224 configurations). Packing Scag’s legendary heavy-duty construction into a maneuverable 21-inch platform, the SFC-21 is built to handle the daily demands of professional landscaping crews and property owners who demand pristine turf presentation.
Featuring a deep-draw 14-gauge stamped steel cutter deck, the SFC-21 delivers high-vacuum airflow for exceptional 3-in-1 cutting versatility—allowing operators to mulch, bag, or side-discharge with ease. The integrated heavy-duty Blade Brake Clutch (BBC) system enables you to stop the blade rotation without turning off the engine, making bag emptying and obstacle navigation faster and safer. Driven by a maintenance-free 3-speed GT MG 512 transmission and equipped with replaceable side wear pads to protect both turf barriers and the deck edge, the Scag SFC-21 delivers worry-free productivity season after season.
Note: Comes standard with mulching plug and 2.2-bushel fabric grass bagger; side-discharge chute is available separately as an accessory. Pre-production units shown; actual product details and specifications are subject to manufacturer updates.
