Hustler Raptor 42" used as commercial mowing?

Overall the unit is a decent unit but one of the weaknesses is to keep an eye on the hardware that attaches the deck.... I see complaints that nuts back off of bolts.
I'm not sure that doing more than a few Lawns a week is a great idea with a plain jane Raptor.... but the nice thing about a $2,800 machine... is you can use it somewhat hard for a year too and probably still get half your money back if you keep it looking good. The guys that buy the $6 to 8000 commercial machines... Lose $1,400 the day they sign the papers and load it on a trailer.
