This is a reference table I devised while mowing today(ya on the 4th!!) Thinking about it really got me through the day. Hope this brings about some laughs....<p>SUPER SCRUB<br>His main mower is a 1980's 21" lawn boy that he moves around in the trunk of his car. He owns no back-up. He also has no trimmer what so ever. He doesnt have any accounts with irrigation. His seasoned customers are the ones that have let him cut there lawn more then 3 times. He has never sharpened the blade of his mower. He also uses econo 86 octane fuel in his mower. If he offers applications of crabgrass preventer, he would have nothing to cut every week. He charges anywhere from $10-35. The high number is his price for a 2 acre spred.<p>SPECIAL SCRUB<br>Uses a new residential mower of at least 5 horsepower. Uses a Homelite trimmer. Sharpens his blade once a season. Has an old, compact, 2wd truck(probably foriegn, depending on how scrubby he is) His accounts are 50/50 (not res/com, but half grass, half weeds!) Price ranges are from $20-40 All of his customers are over 75. and he has 25 accounts <p><br>REGULAR SCRUB Runs an ancient 48" WB that he got for $600 has a push mower with no blade shutoff. Has 2 trimmers and a hand blower. He might own a trailer if hes really well off. He has a few accounts with irrigation. No commercial jobs. price range:25-60<p>REDNECK SCRUB: He drives a stock 77' Ford Hiboy. Has a 1970s simplicity riding tractor. It has a 44" deck. It has racing strips on the hood and the operators entire name written in cursive some where on it. The engine runs surprisingly smooth on grain alcohol. He has a speedometer on his tractor. Instead of a cup holder he has spit cup. Instead of a "comfy seat" He has a toilet seat(so he can be more "at home" while on the range)If he lives up north, the tractor has a snowplow on it at all times. Instead of normal U.S currency, his customers pay him with chicken feed , horse manure, and homemade rubarb pie.<p>WANNA BE SCRUB... Uses a 48" ransoms belt drive WB<p>If i forgot anything... feel free to add it in. If you think up your own, share it with everyone so we know where to catogorize the scrubs i forgot.<br>
