How is that homelite trimmer? I've got a friend who services 13 a week and hasn't had a problem yet.

I absolutely love the deere I bought it for 45 dollars at a yard sale 3 years ago and havent had a problem since except the grearing sounds like its about to go on the self propelled part and its getting a little harder to start... And the homelite trimmer Ive had for 2 years and I paid 100 dollars for it. I havent had any problems with it at all and it runs great. Since I had so much luck with it I went a bought their backpack blower that ive had a little more than a week

Be very careful with that Timecutter, it will not stand up to much abuse. Mine barely holds up.

I owned the same Homelite b/p blower. Its a good machine

Keep up the good work!!!

yeah I havent bought the toro yet. I have it for 1-2 weeks on a demo to see if I like it. So far I really saves time on the big parts but is about the same cause I have to go back and get the slopes with a 21".... the slopes, my tractor can handle.

In another thread you said you were looking at one that was used is that the one that is used.......if i were you i would save your money and get a wb or a better Z. I had a 52 Toro hydro floating deck(never go with anything but a floating deck) and i really liked it and then switched to using a 52" Toro Z 27hp and floating deck and i love it and once you get used to it you can mow pretty big slopes personally i would hold off a few years and get a Z or wb. Something better than the Time Cutterz!

How do you like that homelite blower? I picked one up last year when my walk behind blew up on me the day before a cleanup. Worked for what we needed, i would like to upgrade to a Redmax though i use those all the time with the company i work for and they work great.

All Homeowner junk, not professional level equiopment. I especially like the plastic wheeled spreader, real top quality...

Not bad for a child to use though..

For a 13 years old hes doing pretty damn well. Did you have that much equipment at 13 or even any equipment at all?

Why do people always have to critisize others when they dont have the best equipment or have homeowner stuff. Why not complement him for having so much at a young age, its a hell of a lot harder being younger. How about keeping those comments to yourself.

Well you should be honest do you want him to buy it and always regret it and not be able to get another one for a long time to come?

Your right, its just when i read your post it seemed to me that you were just posting to critisize his equipment. If not then sorry.

Jons Lawns Service- How many lanws do you have?

Looks pretty good. If I were you I would sell all the homeowner equipment (except 1 21", trimmer and blower) and get a used scag walkbehind. After you make a good amount on that, get a new walk behind or a Z. Work your way from there.

I'm 15 and I have a few things:

Work hard and it will pay off.

No. I buy all of my own equipment. The only thing I get from my parents are gifts at christmas and my birthday.

I ride the Z around the neighborhood. I cut my grandma's yard 40 minutes away so she comes over and rides with me and I drive there (only have my temps).

If your 13 and bought that JD at a yard sale you where 10 that seems a little young to start mowing for a living!!

Maybe one day he will be a multi millaniare (SP?) and be able to say he bought his first mower when he was 10 lol.......i got my first one for my b-day and i was about that age.

Speaking of the time cutter, lawn-boy a.k.a toro makes one like that with the reminisence of lawn-boy green paint.
