So many LCO's go broke... I saw this ad on Craigslist. The guy buys a $6000 mower, for two lawns that he was getting $30 a week to mow.

This mower is in near-mint condition. It was purchased new in 2006 with the bagger and striping kit for $6000. It is well worth every penny and it currently only has 100 hours, only ten of those hours were commercial, the first 90 hours it was used on a private farm and remained garage-kept.

- Runs perfectly
- Has new fuel pump, spark plugs, battery, oil and oil filter.
- Very low hours, well-maintained.


For those of you who know about Gravely, I need not explain anything further. For those who have never heard of Gravely, they make only commercial mowers and have been doing so for decades. It is a highly sought after brand and outlasts Toro, Cub Cadet and other leading brands.

Since I only have two lawns that really need a big mower like this, I will let them go as well. Each are thirty dollars a week until the end of October.

That story has holes all through it. It may be a scam No body changes the fuel pump and park plugs at 100 hours. Sure, it's possible that the by a fluke,...the fuel pump may have gone out at 100 hours, but it is seriously doubtful. As far as the plugs go,...well,...like I say.....

Oh, I agree there is something "fishy" in the story behind this mower. But I've seen people do what this guy professed to do, buy a $6K mower for 2 $30 jobs, then complain and cry they can't make ends meet because everyone "lowballs" on the price.
