New Toy - New Job

Well, I got a new contract signed and sealed to mow the county schools. After getting feedback on WAM's I popped for a Toro 4000 this morning to go along with the JD 1600. Here are some pictures on it's first hour.

By the way, that's Kris on the mower. The pictures were taken at Carolina Forest High School. This school has 56 acres to be mowed weekly. The contract is for 5 years.

The cut is 10.5' wide and will mow at 8.8 MPH without a problem. What I liked about this is that the entire deck is out front. The wings fold up to make it only 71" wide.

Great mower and even better a 5 yr contract to make sure you have the work for it. congrats

 

49 schools with a total of 707 acres to be mowed over 5 years. That should cover the equipment.

 

49 schools, what did you get the whole state?????

do you do weed control on those accounts?

 

Nice account!! Do the schools give you storage at various locations to help keep your equipment? Or are you trailering everying to each location?

 

Brian,Any pictures of the JD in action. BTW sweet looking toro and good luck with everything.

Used they sell for around Can $8000 up here. Around 2500 hours or so and decent shape.

what type and size engine drives that brute?

how heavy is it?

is that a side discharge or rear discharge deck?

 

WOW....That's alot of mowing. What are you getting, around 20 an acre? If that's the case, that's some serious gross.
