Not top notch by any means, but it's what I work with. This is a part time gig for me, between the other full time LCO I work for and the Military. I mostly do run down, nasty houses where the cars in the yard/backyard exceed the number in the driveway and garage.

My future plans include a walk behind to replace the lawn tractor and a backpack blower.
The reason I have so many trimmers is because I picked them up for free. Out of the 8 I snagged 3 worked, the rest are parts. Need redmax parts drop me a PM!

Hey man, it gets the job done for you. Why don't you ask the government for some stimulus money?:laughing::)

Because I'm above taking money from other people, especially people that stole it (legally) from others.
I did find a 48" John deer belt walk behind for 350$. Passed on it, the engine smoked. Ideally I need a 36-48 for the larger homes and a 32 for the gated ones that skinny people live in.

I know, you're typically spot on KC.
I have 5 working red maxes now. They're coming out of my ears. 5 trimmers and NO commercial grade mowers! And the sad thing..I'm getting more of them monday.

They do! The toro tractor does very, very well at slow speeds on fescue and augustine. I use the 21 PUSH mower (not self propelled :( ) on areas that are too big for the tractor to circle around for straight, even passes

at least you out working hard for your money. I bet one day you will look back at this post and be amazed at how much you have grown and upgraded

Your signature added to my 4th of July; keep up the good work. "More cars in the yard than driveways" that's a good one.

Slowly I am acquiring more professional equipment. There's a toro proline 36" at my LCO that doesn't have an engine. Floating deck, turbo force, very nice. If he puts it to the boneyard I'm jumping on it. How much are air cooled 14hp kohler pull start engines going for now?
