As most of you know I am small and consist of 1 61" Husqvarna and a 42" Husqvarna both riders. My question is of upmost importance to me. Well, I will be taking the steps to employees next year and the mowers I currently use will be turned over for them to operate. Several customers this year have questioned me if I bagged the grass. I told them I don't, and that I mulch, and say that is fine for the grass(no comments please). I have received no complaints about doing this, but sometimes I wish I could get rid of the questions and every now and then the double cut. So where do I start? Another consideration are hills, are walkbehinds that much better on hills, we are talking hydro as I don't want to mess around with the belt. The 42" does ok on hills, but when its wet, you can forget it. turns into a nightmare, and breaking out the stihl. I have some options....
I can add a bagger to the 42" 21HP rider and bag or not as needed and dump in the truck. THis will also add to the fall cleanup side of business cause I currently don't bag anything.
I can purchase a walk behind with a side bag or two.
Or I can say screw the questions an bagging and just keep mulching with the 42" and Side discharge with the 61"
ps most of the accounts I service are 1/4 lots---although I do get the break out the 61" on just under half of them..
Thanls guys
