Well, I think I found what I was looking for.
I had to drive an hour, which is farther than I hoped, but not too bad considering the drive time some of you have in your routes.:laugh:
He had a Snapper 36 inch hydro WB brand new for $2899. Its only a 15 HP Kawasaki, which will be a bit underpowered, but I can live with it for a season. I looked at a used Exmark 36 inch at another dealer, and the guy wanted over $5000, and it had 500 hours.
Gonna buy 2 Shin EB630 blowers. $425 a piece.
I already have one T-272. Gonna get another.
A snapper 21 inch commercial for $950. This will only be used for places I can't access with the W.B., and clean ups/rough areas. Also considering investing in a disposable mower for rough areas.
Talked to my buddies in the biz and they said the guy gets 24 hour turnaround on most repairs, unless it requires a special order.
He is going to give me a further discount for buying it all as a package.
Anybody see any financial red flags here?
