spend a couple days reading through this site and you will learn all you need to know
search function works well
what you dont find come back and ask , be more specific (types of property you want to service , budget , things of that nature)

Some specifics
I intend to maintain small to medium residential properties.I live in east texas so there are a lot of trees to drop tons and tons of leaves mainly during the fall(we have 15 in our yard-1/2 acre lot).I dont have too much money to spend so I work a lil and spend a lil.Im trying to spend money fairly quickly buying stuff so I can have a full commercial rig.Once I have that Ill start to save more and spend less.I want mid of the road equipment-ill use gear drive walks rather han hydros,that kinda thing.I need two backpacks and i dont want them so heavy like shindy eb8520 and redmax ebz8001.Right now I dont have enough money o spend on a 5000$ plus ztr so Im more focused on 36" walks and 21" wlks.Ive had experience with shindaiwa and echo line trimmers and Im satisfied.(t242x/srm265). I want a mid to upper class performance blower so I can use it year round and it have enough blow for fall cleanup.Im Looking at STIHL BR600,SHINDAIWA EB802,& REDMAX EBZ7100(dealer support is not a factor-all are awesome).I have TORO,SCAG SNAPPER,ARIENS,HONDA,EXMARK,LAWNBOY,WRIGHT,GREAT DANE,and JOHN DEERE dealers that I like. I interested to hear your feedback,and if you need more info plz let me know.
THANKS:-) GOD BLESS AMERICA
