The Life of a Custom Mowing contractor

[Hay Dude]

I wouldn't even begin to understand how that works but looking at the linkage and the mechanics of it blows my mind. Being able to repair that is in another world for sure, kudos to you HD

The worst is when you can’t fix it, rain is coming and a tech is $500 just to show up, then $150/hr + parts to get you going…..IF he can get you going.
I have 2 techs who were brave enough to give me their cell phone numbers, so usually they can help me diagnose things that are above my pay grade.
They are really good dedicated people

You're lucky. Most of the "techs" these days are no better than I am after I've had to spend a few hours troubleshooting something. By that time I find that I can teach them things. JD is really bad. There's not a tech at my dealer that can tell you anything about how a regen works on a new tractor and I have figured out everything about it on my tractor.

I am lucky-have 2 guys who have received Christmas cards from me because of all their help.
Not saying I haven’t had my share of fixing my own problems, but do appreciate their ability.

In the middle of constant rain, but hopefully clearing Monday or Tuesday.
Just need 2 more weeks to finish up!

You must be good and dedicated person as well to be given that cell phone number.

Took some time off after work to take my son and his girl to a Phillies game tonight.

Bryce Harper hit a go-ahead home run. Couple ice cold Yuenglings and a Philly cheesesteak, too.

Phillies won 7-6.

Did you comment on the mowing style/condition of the grass on the field?

This thread is about a mowing contractor!

Lol - Nice when you buy the ticket and the home team wins.
Looks like fun.

Good seats with a chance at a ball. Nothing beats watching the long fly balls to the outfield.

With all you have going on, how do you find time to go anywhere?
