This will depend on the size of the lawns and how much you get for them. If it is 7 $10 lawns, no, but if it's 7 $30 lawns or 7 $50 lawns, makes a big difference in what we can recommend for you to do. Give us some more to go on. :)

torograsshopper--it does not matter how many lawns you have if you have the urge to come of age.

it is a natural thing.

don't fight it.

that is...as long as we're talking lawncare!

if we are talking coming of age with the lawn owner's daughter...forget that I replied!!!:D

GO FOR IT, IT WILL BE A VERY GOOD INVESTMENT FOR YOU, AS LONG AS YOU CAN AFFORD IT.Your lawncare will make you more money if you put more into it, but stay were you are comfortable with the payments.Dont go overboard,But for your question,Yes I would invest in this kind of equipment,But check other dealers and brands in your area and make sure your dealer will give good service and back you up.I personally would buy nothing but John Deere.

Definitly go for it. I was in the a similiar situaiton this year. i have about 15 accountants and decided to get a 36". I also got the 36"exmark with 15hp kaw and its great. Make sure u get the mulch kit its awesome. Good luck

Go for it. If things don't work out you can always sell the mower. ED

You might want to get the 48" instead, probably only a few dollars more.

You will never hurt yourself with better tools or equipment. Provided you can justify spending the money. At the seminar in the Louisville Expo we were told "If you do not spend 20 hours or more a week with the piece of equipment that you want to buy, then it's not worth the cost". However in your case it's a little different. You will add more and more due to the fact that your image of a professional will be better, and your lawns will also look better. Plus it's the right thing to do to better your business. You always have to start from somewhere, so just go and make the next step. I hope it works out well for you!

Sounds like you have the desire for this job so if you have the money I'm like the rest of the gang, go for it...if it does'nt work out you can always sell it. Best of luck to ya bro.

I thought you said you hated your job but I think yiur should get it and MOW THEM LAWNS BOY

What your total investment is and break it up over the next few years by month. If you think you can make the money back, and still bring in a profit every month go for it. One thing to think about: Make sure you have some work piled up because once you get this, your going to cut the time you spend on your customers lawns now in half.

Good Luck!

how is this kid better off getting a 48 as opposed to getting the 36in as he so obviously needs - having a 36in deck insures that not in all cases but in most cases he will be able to get into the back yard in residential areas which come easier than comercial accounts when starting out. get that 36in deck little guy and with a velkie on the back youll be hustlin in no time. The 36in is a good starter mower. good luck.
