What one piece most often, and what kind? Aerator. Every fall. We own a Billy Goat and always rent a additional Lesco walk behind and/or Lesco tow behind. PR

Rototiller--Barretto; Riding mower -- craftsman; wb edger--yard machines. I had nothing but problems with all three so I if I don't have the equipment I pass on the job, and let my customers know that because of the problems i have had with rental equipment I won't time and money with rental equipment.

i work in landscaping with my pops on the weekends. On my days i am off, i am attending school. I am working on my graduation project, which is a equipment trailer for landscapers.

My question: I want to post a survey or a poll to help on my research for my project. How should i approach this without interfering with the rules of the site.

1) rented a bluebird aerator a lot, until I purchased a Plugr 850 this year
2) Slit seeder
3) dethatchers

I try to rent the equipment I don't need often. I don't want to tie up a lot money in equipment that is seasonal or seldom used.

Why do people worry about how old a thread is, just as long as some principle of the thread still applies?
