Dutch, I know new sounds nice, but I will tell you I put 1500 hours on a toro and did not get rid of it because it was broken. The main thing to worry about with a used mower is how well its been maintaned. A well maintaned commercial grade mower such as a commercial toro, exmark, commercial John Deere, etc. will easily do what you want and never give you a minutes trouble, and you can save your loan payment for more equipment down the road. Good luck

Consider used...I got a 2001 Kubota ZD21 60" with 700hrs for $3500 this past spring. Awesome commercial mower. I am a happy camper. Buying used might get you a commercial grade mower in your price range. Look around. Good Luck to you!

Around here, the "The early bird gets the worm" so it is never to early to start advertising. Just don't go overboard. Word of mouth about a job well done, is going to be your best selling/growing tool. I would consider undercutting what potential customers paid last year and then when you get off to a good start, bump the rates up a little. Ken Sweet

Okay sounds good, i usually ask 30 bucks a cut, some of my neighbors pay like 50 bucks.

And one question i saw that dixon has striping kits but cant find the price do you know how much they are?

You get what you pay for, especially in a ZTR. My neighbor is a commercial mower. He runs Ferris and one Scags.

Custom mowers here walk each yard and figure in how many shrubs and trees and size of the yard that they have to mow around before they will give a quote for mowing. We have 1 acre with about 50 things to mow around and we pay $65. The striping kit is not available for that mower, however, one can be fabricated from some heavy matting or belting material and bolted to the back side of the deck for a cost of zero. Ken Sweet
