Started mowing when I was really young, started mowing for money when I was 14.
It made me grow up way toooo fast (which has its pro's and con's)
You young guys need to work hard, but its your time to play harder! Don't miss out on your best years!

TFL do you have trouble turning with your GT18's?We mow a customers yard that is about 5 acres and we use their GT22 and it has trouble on turns its only like a two years old. Is there anyway to fix it a simple adjustment. They are built like tanks but we have broke 2 antiscalp wheels of because of the rought terain.
I started working with my dad at 10 and now im 15.
