We have it. It sucks to cut. We got a few drops of rain at a place with nearly all crab grass. Plugged the heck out of the deck. It was the last one of the day, so I went home to wash the deck out. It wouldn't have been so bad if I would have had high lifts instead of mulch blades.

Also the AC/heat cab idea would be nice. I saw the Toro one but I guarantee the price tag is HIGH!
I was looking at them a couple of years back and the price tag was around 28K.
Man that ac would spoil you in a hurry!

At 7ft tall you hit all kinds of trees and what not. Forget doing hills too.

I'm sure there's also a pleasant alarm that will wake the operator when the job is done!

Statewide and or local organizations(other than the Govt) that actually help legal / legit businesses
battle unlicensed and or illegal businesses, or illegal hiring practices.

Right now all of them(organizations) exist only to profit off fees/ dues/ and mainly advertising.

We have no recourse. nada
