How do you Profesional mowers feel about kids mowing? Does it affect business any?
 
Kids are not allowed to mow until 16 in my neck of the woods. I take my grandson with me some but all he does is slow me down. Would I hire a 16 year old? Not unless he could prove he would be on time all the time.
 
Neighbors across the hollow have their kid mow their fenced in property on a Cub tractor. Kinda reminds me of a young me.
 
I meant to say kids can't mow commercial till 16 unless they run their own business. We also can not even start a commercial mower before 7 am. You can not load equipment on a trailer before 7 am. I know someone who got a ticket and fined $150
 
Wow, do you live in a Home Owners Association complex ?
 
Tough one, sounds like. I'm outside of the city, in the county, farm country. But only 6 miles from city needs & supplies etc.
 
No mower police around here, do what ever turns you on. Children and mowers to my own personal feelings is a big NO. I think there is labor laws that regulate at what age you can hire a child to do any work for hire. As to your own children its all common sense in which some people just don't seem have. I had girls with no interest in mowing grass then or now so they never got need my mowers.
 
Probably be a better world if parents had kids mow the lawn again as weekly chores.

Agree 100%, but today a kid could turn their parent in & they'd be the one in trouble. That just ain't right.
