Makes sense. I'm set up similar, but only running one mowing crew, that if I can ever get away from mowing everyday could really do quite a bit more work. Im still running the crew though, and doing all of our lawn apps. So that rig could handle another day worth of mowing easy, if I could still have my extra time for lawn apps, sprinkler service, small landscape work etc. I know where you're coming from with the personal truck, I've got an 01 super duty powerstroke that i bought used, still a very very clean truck and I hate to take it out to mow, it basically sits, hauls me around, and plows snow. So you guys strictly do driveways for snow then?

we do several private roads. we lost our parking lots. its fine with me though, we are making enough and we dont have to buy a sander

here is my poor truck. we made enough to cover repairs out of pocket and still made good money, its just one of those things that eats me up. i usually have much more weight in my truck, but because it was predicted to be light fluffly snow and not icy i didnt bother.

i think it is, ill most likely take it off, beat it out for the winter and buy something in the spring. ive been looking at those armor type heavy duty bumpers. who knows, maybe ill smack it up some'more before the seasons over! i hate my new truck anyways

im itching to get back outside. we need a few snow storms to get enough money for a 4th ztr this year to really get the 2nd crew fully running (and work of course). we will be advertising like crazy this spring to pickup alot of new lawns. we have never really adveritised and most work has come from word of mouth over a long period of time.

yeah ive talked to him. being from saybrook im assuming you know Barry. he has been very good to me and i dont want to cut him out of the loop on a new mower sale, but $2k is $2k. if i snows i might be interested but im still looking for a great deal on a used machine. ive seen some that cheap in NC from time to time and i think Ohio. they must do alot of volume to get prices down that low. you going to get one?
