Why bother with PITA gated lawns if there are plenty of wide open spaces to mow?

Everybody has one but in my opinion, I think that if you have a lot of fenced in areas, you would be spending a lot of time backing up,pulling up to turn around, or running in circles.Mabey it might cost a little more but what about a used 36in or so walkbehind for this. I seen a guy, using a small rider in yards and it looked like when the homeowners do it theirselves. I prefer to leave a job with no doubt in anyones mind that a professional had done it.

If you didn't know, Great Dane has come out with a fold up walk-behind..It has a 52 in. deck that folds up to 36 inches so that it will go through small gate..They're probably in the $4,000 range..(I think) ... I'm thinking about demoing one for next year..Good Luck...Clean-Cut
