When I was starting out in the mowing business, I made the mistake of thinking all my mowers had to be new. I no longer think this way.
If you can find a 20-50% discount on used equipment, you can either buy more equipment or make smaller payments to the bank. Either way, you will come out ahead. A mower with 25hrs generally does not cut significantly better than a mower with 500hrs.
Yes, there are more maintenance issues, but if you buy a good machine to begin with, even with some extra repair costs, used stuff in the paper or on e-bay is one key to more profits.
