OK, right now I have just a bare spot of ground as a parking area. I would like to put down some type of gravel. Probably crush and run, but my question is how much to order? The supplier's sell it by the yard! Can someone please tell me how after I measure the area, to figure out how many yards I would need? I plan to cover about a 24' x 24' area 4'' deep. I have no idea how to go from here. Oh by the way, math is not my strong suit! Thank you for any help and knowledge you can send my way!

I finally got to demo a SCAG Cheetah 32 Vanguard 61" Velocity deck today on one of my big propertys. After demoing the Exmark X-Series which was suposed to be the best mower made, I absolutley hated it. It bucks you out of the seat and just beats the crap out of you. And I was not impressed with the Series 6 deck at all. It cut like crap if you went over 7 mph. And also the new rods that suspend the deck rattle like mad!

My only option left was a SCAG. How did i like it?.....I LOVED IT. The Velocity deck is incredible! It doesnt even compare with Exmark. I had no idea what ive been missing. It cut 6" tall wet sod without having to double cut! I was in shock i couldnt believe theres a mower out there that could cut grass that wet and tall without having to double cut. I always have to double cut this yard no matter what. But the Cheetah did it in one pass and it looked perfect.

As for the Cheetahs speed, I used my GPS to get the max speed on both high and low gear. Low gear was 12 mph and High gear was 16.4 mph. So theyre advertising was all correct and it did what they said it would. Would i ever used high gear on a lawn? no. It goes 12 mph already which is crazy fast. I tried going 16 on the lawn but it felt dangerous and honestly on most yards you couldnt even get up to speed on time. The suspension system on it worked very well and and thats whats making me buy the Cheetah over the Turf Tiger. Im planning on buying this mower very soon. And for all those Exmark guys out there youve been ripped off. You couldnt pay me to run an Exmark after I ran a SCAG.

We are going to be getting a new (used) mower for our small lawncare buisness. We currently are using a badboy but dont like how top heavy it is and it slides easy. Its sombody elses mower that we were borrowing so its time for us to get one. I found a 2001 grasshopper 720k with 52'' deck and grasscatching system with only 643 hours for 3500. Would this be a good choice. We only mow 1 or 2 times a week with 8 lawns a day. Do they bog down easy

I already have 2 mowers, 2 straight shaft trimmers, 2 backpack blowers, various hand tools, etc. Is there anything else I need?

I see it all the time with the LCO's. Guys that sweet talk there customers and the customers neighbors. It will get you work and more $$$. Even if you don't like people that simple wave and smile does wonders. What you guys think about this? Who sweet talks there way into making more money and how do you go about doing it?

Can or should a sulky be used when mowing across a hill? Going up/down on this hill is not possible.

If applicable, which sulky would be best?

I have a Z series 60" Encore that will not pull foward on the left control and not very good in reverse on the left side I have changed hyd oil and filter and bled all lines but no luck it seems to work fine while the rear wheels are lifted off the ground. Can anyone give me any advice?

Hello guys,

I'd like to know what is this, and would Tenacity eliminate it or if I should simply keep using Par III to eventually get rid of it.





Thanks and regards,

16 foot circle pack and some sidewalks around it. Total is 400 st ft. with 24 foot sitting walls. Yes the caps on the pilers are not centered and one is a different color. It was left like that for the homeowner to decide what color he wanted. He went with the white caps and I didn't take a pic after I change it.

I am having carb trouble. Gas leaks out of carb and into filter. This happens if it is put up with gas tank facing up or it rolls around on back of truck. Just started this. I am not that familiar with two strokes. What is the fix for this?

Looking for a used a commercial walk behind. What exactly should I get. I dont want to spend over 3 grand.

This is a 400 square foot patio and a 24 foot sitting wall I built this spring. I also added 5 yards of black dirt and 4 yards of mulch that are not pictured.
