First year (tips)

[Ric]

This is my first (full time) year. I have 5000 postcards ready to be sent out. Business cards. T shirts. Trailer and a truck. What mower should I buy? I have one already but I want another one. Any tips for a rookie?

What type of mower do you have now??

It's a new walk behind. It's nice but I just want a back up. I forget the brand but I'm away from home right now

Are we talking like a 36 or 48" walk behind or a 21" self propelled push mower? I wondered because you said you had 5000 postcards ready to be sent out.

Yeah sorry I meant 21"

I hate to say this but if you're only using a 21" and want another for back up I wouldn't be sending out 5000 postcards because your far from being equipped to handle the response you may get, you or your business could end up with a bad Reputation. You would be better off just taking on a few clients and using the money to build on the equipment you need for the business then worry about your client base.
