why do you need a lawnmower that big?!

[StoneTheCrow]

why do you need a lawnmower that big?!

I'm in the process of getting a lawn service started, plus, I'm a man. Men like big stuff.:bigsmile:

[crakkdukk]

how much do those cost?

[StoneTheCrow]

how much do those cost?

Quite a bit new, I would guess anywhere between 8 to 15 grand,depending how how big it is. We got lucky, got ours for $1500, it's only a few years old but in great shape. A product of a divorce,it happens.

You rednecks and your damned lawn mowers....:neutral:
Real men have regular push mowers anyway, not those pansy riding mowers.
I should know...when i had a house i had three acres of uneven hell and i mowed like a pro with my o'l reliable push mower.

I got muscles from that that you wouldn't believe.

Are you kidding me?

Have you taken a good look at that thing?
There's no steering wheel. It has joy sticks and everything.

It's like a tank that cuts grass.

Now...if we could just get them to make them where they shoot people while you're mowing.............

[CULPRITE_INC]

thats a zero degree turn nik, makes doing sides, and circles around trees a dream

Its a little different when you're trying to make money, you aint got time to be chasing no damn little mower, you gotta get that shit cut and move on to the next yard. You're right though, I am a redneck.

So you post two mexican caballeros? FAIL

[TOAO]

What they do when they're not my my lawn is none of my business.

I was a gardener for about six years. Fuck the big lawns when you're doing residential. I did it when I was in the Redondo area. There is a place called Palos Verdes. On the hill, big houses, huge lawns. You'd end up with people wanting you to do it for nothing, and deal with their dogshit. We ended up digging for most of our work around the beach cities. Tiny lawns for pretty much the same price.

But after I sold the route I worked for a guy, and his way seemed like the way to go. He dealt with condo & townhomes properties, and would charge per month. They way to find those is go to property management companies. Start off doing them yourself, and then when you get a couple properties, hire people. The place I live pays $4800 a month for the gardeners. Get a few of those accounts, and you'll get by. Even residential, you want to go by the month. That way, besides locking in an income, you get paid when it rains.

The last thing you want to do is go to houses with a trashy overgrown lawn thinking they "need" you. They obviously don't give a shit. And are more than likely cheap.

[StoneTheCrow]

Yeah that's pretty much the way we want to go, I turn down no advice from somebody that knows.

[Buschman]

I had no idea this thread would take off like this. Good stuff though. A funny read all round.

[CULPRITE_INC]

i have done a lil landscaping and leafs in the fall are a good cash maker, three guy with ryobi pack blowers can clean any field well the two other guys i worked with and me would be able to. lol

I said advice from somebody that knows, not blows. :tongue:

[TOAO]

And learn how to use a 10-99 to your advantage. It's kind of like the stick with shit on it. Only you're not getting the shitty end when you're giving it.

[StoneTheCrow]

Indeed, already thought of that.

[CULPRITE_INC]

as funny as that was i mean it leafs are easy if you got a place to put em, and every one wants it done, some times multi time for the same house

[TOAO]

And fuck those backpack blowers, unless you're going to be holding it for a half-hour or more.



They have the little hand held ones

Since the mowers are pretty much high vacuum, you trim the bushes, and edge etc first, and blow the shit on to the lawn, and then suck it up when you mow.
