Need your input but first,
I知 at the 56 mile marker in life now. I have 2 yrs of college in four various trades from Automotive to Computer Technology but no degree. After 18 yrs I took an early retirement package in 2005 from a major US corporation due to a corporate takeover. My middle name could be 展FR (Workforce Reduction).
Have applied at Home Depot, Lowe痴, Walmart, and Brookshire Bro痴 Super Markets but no phone calls yet.
My counselors (friends that I trust) are telling me I need to find some kind of business to start and stop depending upon corporate Amerika (sp on purpose) for my income because I still have a mortgage and I知 too young to retire.
I知 thinking about going into the Tractor Mowing biz (just me, my tractor and maybe a zero turn mower for the front yards). I know it won稚 pay what the corporate boys pay but at least I壇 be doing what I love to do. I致e read some posts here from forumites who are in the mowing biz and what痴 involved in doing it. I知 a former Kubota L3130 owner. My question(s) about starting a tractor mowing biz are:
1. Is it worth it?
2. Is a Kubota M6040 Cab with a Rhino 6 cutter too much tractor for mowing 5-100 acres and do site clearing also? I have no eqpt and must buy it.
3. How do you advertise your business? (i.e. business cards, flyers, etc)
Thank you
