FootHills Landscape

Hi,
This is my 3rd year owning my own company but i have worked for companys before. I own a MBK and love it. I dont know your needs but a GHS unit is not needed for the properties i do. I run a 42" mulch deck that does great. the only drawback is that you have to slow down just a little bit when you get into taller wet grass but it still does great. the cut it gives is fenominal and cant be matched. it lays down a natural stripe that my customers love. it is compact so i only cant get through the back gate at 2 of my properties. the mower handles exelant on slopes going in all directions. the new MBK has been upgraded to a 23hp kohler command v-twin. it will handle up to a 62" deck and the snow blade is in the final design process. i have had no issues with the mower at all. just an overall great machine. the 9mph i get out of it is more than plenty. i go for quality not speed and my customers love the manicured cut. compared to a walk behind it will cut mowing time in half if not more. it will cut trimming time in half if not more because you can trim closer to beds and edges. it will cut blowing time in half because it keeps all the clipping within the pass and doesn't shoot it all out the side. i would highly recommend getting a demo from your closest dealer. that is what sold me on it. if you have any questions send me a message and ill be happy to respond.

Thanks. really the only mower that somewhat compares to it is the ExMark Navigator. ive talked to other landscape contractors and they have said they are hell to work on and the quality isnt there. so i would not suggest the navigator. hope this helps.
