This question is about recurring residential lawn mowing service. Does anybody have a dollars-to-miles rule you like to use for rate hikes at the borders of your service area? Assume this is for lawns that you know can be cut efficiently. I'm trying to pretty-much limit our mowing service...

Hello, I joined this site because everyone seemed so helpful. I live in Georgia and want to purchase a used commercial zero-turn. I will be cutting my personal property of 4 to 5 acres a week. 90 percent of it is flat fields with a slight sloping hill in the back. I found a 2017 Scag Cheetah...

Trying to get an idea of how many clients I can take care of from home full time. For myself I generally spend 1 hour from The time I receive a residential lead to the time an estimate is sent. Then just 5-10 minutes here and there talking with the client maybe 1/month. So like 3 hours a year...

I am looking to buy a new Zero turn and most likely a 42 inch. I mow a little over an acre and it is neither real rough nor a perfect lawn. I had a TORO timecutter 42 for ten years and it never broke down- not once. Reliability would be the major factor on purchase . And while I know it...

Hey so the title might not explain this very well. In short what do you use tags for in yardbook and do your rate customers? I have a 1-5 scale throughout my business. 1 being worst and 5 being best. I use this for equipment quality and frequency of use, customers and job type. For tags in...

I'm buying a home that has approx 2.5-3 acres of flat lawn that needs mowing. The current owner has offered me his used commercial ZTR Exmark, and I'm trying to compare his mower against a new residential. Which would last me the longest? Which is easier or less costly to maintain? Which...

Hi, new to the site. ive spent many hours reading posts about sloped terrain and have found that the scag turf tiger is the ultimate machine for slopes. I just bought a house that the front yard has a slope of about 10-11 degrees, upto 15 degrees in some spots. the previous owner had a rider...

First off I would like to thank everyone on this forum for their knowledge and advice. I used it to select the mower that I wanted to go with. Unfortunately the SCAG TT2 60" with the big B&S is backorder for 60 to 90 days :( I have since moved to looking for good used mowers. I have 5 acres...
