I agree with Charles, take a nap and then edit your post, I have no clue.

I can make sense of anything, except women.<p>If you get the city contract, yes. Otherwise use guerilla tactics and start with a WB.<p>Unless you have a new truck, your equipment is most likely worth more than it.

No, you don't buy an $11,000 52&quot; mower.<p>A $6-7,000 60&quot;+ Mid-mount Z and a $1500 tow-behind aerator should do fine.

Grasshopper makes a areator and a out front dethacher but you can't use the older mower it has to be the new style.So i just don't know. I want to provide this service but i don't see anything else that compares.

If you ask me I don't think you want to pay 11K for a Grasshopper. Just my opinion. I like Lazers and Scags myself. If I had to buy a ZTR, Exmark's my mower. (sorry Eric, 200 miles is a long way to a Dixie dealer, dad would go biserk)

Think twice before you invest that kinda money in a Grasshopper. I own a Grasshopper, they ain't worth what they are charging. <p>You could just about buy 2 baby Lazers with 52&quot; decks for that.

DAVID: If you have a large enough customer base, or just landed a big commercial account<br>to pay for the hopper in ample time I'd say go for it. The additional attachments available should increase add on services tremendously adding to your bottom line. P.S. It takes money to make money!

You can get a good toro 52&quot; walk behind for about $1500 used.

How much of that work do you do? I rent those machines and pass the cost down to the customer. If it's worth it buy those items. <br>Good Luck. Travis AG&G Lawn Maintenance
