The guy in the video.

I know. I've watched a lot of Greg's videos. But I'm not sure what you are saying he still hasn't learned.

I just watched the I believe it's the 20 minute video and when he started the lot he was doing the edging with a trimmer, that was clue one. No lawn service worth there salt is going to use a trimmer to edge sidewalks or driveways. The second was when he said people don't want to pay $100 to have something like this lot done so he thought $60 was an appropriate price because it was one he was picking up in his spare time. That was clue 2. Tell me is your time worth less because it's a job your doing in your spare rather than mowing lawn for your business......I think not. Seems to me the guy is clueless when it comes to his business and pricing. I mean really I've got got 1/4 acre lawns in great shape that I get $40 a cut for.

I've got 1/4 acre lawns I get 50-60 dollars for,but neither one of us live in St. Louis either where everyone is having financial troubles. Like the saying goes " location, location, location".

Do you and Ric use ztrs to mow those properties?
Also as you might remember I am concerned with steep hills. Would you be able to tell if a ztr would be able to handle them if I posted pictures of the slopes?

I don't use ZTR on small properties. You can actually mow faster with a wide area walk behind. And as far as hills go a walk behind will handle any slope you throw at it. Ric raves about stand on mower and I like them better than ZTRs but if you have a lot of steep hills to mow then a stand on is not for you.

Ok, what properties are you talking about? I do mower all my properties with a ZTR and if you want to post some pictures I would love to see them.

Okay I meant 15k sq. ft. properties. You might not even have any that small. I will post some pictures when I get the chance. But I will have to wait until I'm at the property to take some photos because I currently don't have any.
