2012 mowing setup. 3rd year and growing. Hoping i can pick up enough lawns to hire someone this year. I really struggled in the beginning of the year. but it did pay off. 40,000 flyers go out for the next 4 weeks plus about 50 yard signs, so this may be the calm before the storm. everything is washed, waxed, and ready to go. Oh but i'm still missing the trailer. having one built right know now hoping to pick up in a day or two

very nice how do you like your dixie chopper
could use a few more hp. but overall i love it plan on buying another one this year. spring time you have to go slow but rest of the year just fine.

i see you have cho trimmers in your sig how do you like them
i like them, they are the only trimmers i have ever used. i like the fact you can stop at any home depot and get the regular maintenance stuff for them. instead of going to the dealer thats 30 minutes away. i run only 93 octane in them and i noticed a difference in them real fast (only shell or costco gas 93)

Nice setup. Looks like your shop has plenty of room and i like your blade sharpening station.

What size is your shop?
its 40'x35' 1400sqft last year i could park my truck with a 12' trailer on it on one side without disconnecting it. i will get i will measure it later. the sharpener i wanted to be able to move around, like if it nice out i wheel it to the door and sharpen outside, them i can also blow everything off after im done.
hoping to get another rig if this year goes well.

i really really love it. i use it on 90% of my yards and only use my dixie on my 3acre plus yards, if it was faster i would get rid of the dixie. i've only used the 52'' and holds hills like a billy goat i've heard the 40'' and 36 don't hold hills that well, i've had a everide, great dane, john deere, wright, gravey 52''-54'' standers and have to say the toro is the best overall and exmark would be the same.
