Scag Sabre Tooth Tiger - Turbo Diesel Engines
The
Scag Sabre Tooth Turf Tiger utilizes a Briggs Vanguard Daihatsu
3/LC engine to provide you with the best quality engine with
optimum performance and longer life. This engine features 54.6
foot pounds of peak torque and the best horsepower to weight
ratio in its engine class. This extra performance and longevity
means a stronger bottom line for your business. When other mowers
are struggling to cut the tall, wet, heavy stuff, the Sabre Tooth
cuts it down and begs for more. When other engines are ready
to be overhauled or replaced, the Vanguard 3/LC diesel will still
be going strong. More productivity. Less downtime. The base components
have been designed for the longest engine life in the industry
(twice the life of air-cooled engines and 1.5 times the life
of liquid-cooled V-twin engines). The crankcase ventilation system
is closed for reduced emissions. It features a cast iron engine
block, forged steel connecting rods and a forged steel crankshaft.
The pistons are constructed from a special aluminum alloy for
increased performance and life. The cross flow port design ensures
that the air-fuel mixture flows freely and efficiently into the
combustion chambers.
- In-line 3-cylinder design for maximum torque and longevity
- Compact engine design delivers 31HP in a 9% smaller package
than other engines
- Full 360 degree cooling jacket
- Digital ignition system utilizes an 8-bit microprocessor
and one coil per cylinder.
- Electronic timing advance
- Full pressure oil lubrication system with spin-on oil filter
- Turbo-charger on diesel engine is lubricated with oil and
has a coolant water jacket for longer life and increased performance.
- VE fuel injection system on the turbo diesel model results
in a smoother running engine
- Base components designed for extended use (2 times the life
of air cooled engines and 1.5 times the life of a liquid cooled
V-twin engine)
- Industrial grade air filtration system ensures maximum protection
of interior engine components
- Commercial grade solenoid shift starter means quick, reliable
starts
- Compact size - maximum power in a small, easy to service
package
- Best horsepower to weight ratio in engine class
