Laws Governing Professional Lawn Maintenance Businesses

Lol as soon as people realize the president doesn't do anything..... american presidency is nothing but a front. Someone to blame. He has no power cannot do anything get over your self.

I won't say he has no power but to many people think he can just do anything.
He can not just make up any law he wants. Then you have these fools that think he is going to come and search there house for guns. Like he really cares if you have a gun or is gone to search your house.

Any laws that have anything to do with mowers he does not even know about or care about.

Some people are just to dumb to use a mower. If your thinking if I do this I could get killed when the mower rolls over than don't do it.
I see guys cutting there grass with a beer in the cup holder and a child in there lap.

Let me strike a blow for those who work on others' lawns...It should be very clear that, as Mac's story shows, people who are not nice will end up in deep pucky. :laughing:

I'm ok with the license of spraying chemicals but the governments already involved in to much. They have no Buisness telling me how to operate a mower and I'm a Law Enforcement officer. People need to use "common sense" more and quit looking for the government to bail them out!

Re: Laws Governing Professional Lawn Maitenance Businesses

I like the expression "cull themselves out of the gene poll"!!!
My 2008 Scag Tiger Cub is my first machine with a ROPS, as I had been mowing with Ingersoll GTs for many years.
I took on a new customer a while back who's trees were in bad need of lower trimming and I hung up the ROPS on a branch of one of the needy trees as I was radially mowing under it from the center out. It lifted the front on my ZTR almost to the point of flipping me over backwards.
I stopped mowing, went to my trailer, got out my trimming tool and nipped off the branches that I thought were problematic and disposed of them in a wooded area behind this house. He saw me, came out and blew his top at me and while attempting to explain the situation to him he fired me on the spot. I packed up and left.
He hired a young chap that said he would mow for half my price. About a month later I was traveling past this place and the new lawn care guy was doing the lawn on his new big box store bargain mower, but without a collection system he was leaving a mess. Several hours later on my return trip past this same house, I saw a tow truck attempting to lift the new guys mower from the collapsed septic tank!!! I stopped to see what was going on and I thought to myself that this situation was very amusing!!! I never did mow near this stinky soft area. A week or so later I got a call from this customer asking me to come back and mow his lawns again, but I declined. However I did offer to take him to a local power equipment dealer and assist him in finding a mower that would suit his needs and he took me up on the offer. He put in a new septic tank and leach fields and now does his own lawn care. I ran into him at a local deli and chatted with him some, he thanked me for my patience and guidance with him. I casually asked him if he had installed floats on his mower, he chuckled and mentioned that the other guy had demanded that he replace the "wet" mower!!! Oh well, stuff happens!!!!:laughing:

Mad Mackie,
Very good comments on the subject!!! And the fact that you "unintentionally" clipped the customer's tree limb you could have been a B___hole and said "I have a ROPS as a safety feature so that I don't have to sue you if your property "injures me.....or my ZTR's safety feature"...and by the way, I will closely inspect my ROPS for damage and get back with you should damages to my property have been incurred by your tree":0)

I think the last statement is the answer to your question.

exotion,

I heard that......in today's world it sometimes is ALL ABOUT LIABILITY!!!!!

I am not biased to either having to ROPS or not. But how many people actually wear their seat belt when they jump on the mower? A ROPS is no good if you don't wear your seat belt to keep you on the mower. Will they have "lawn mower police" driving around handing out tickets for not wearing your seat belt?? 

mowerguy,
I have a foldable ROPS too. But I also mounted a sunshade to it for sun protection so I "have to keep it up"(you may notice it down in my Avatar prior to the sunshade addition). And like user Mad Mackie mentioned earlier, some of the reasons I started out with it folded down was (1)Mimosa trees with low-hanging branches and (2)extended ROPS/seat belt....why, I'll never have an accident(it'll never happen to me/10 feet tall, bullet-proof syndrome). Believe me, after a "local man" being killed(dead, gone, a professional who knew what he was doing), and I'm 100% sure that is NOT the first fatal ZTR rollover, the seat-belt goes on from here on out(I wear one everytime I get in my automobile.....actually the "law" in Tennessee, what's so different about going 10mph on my ZTR?). I would hate for my widow to weep every time she thinks about "letting me buy that damn lawn mower"!!!!!!!! That's why I started this very controversial thread/debate.

These anti American liberals can shove there laws up there ***!!!!
They are the stupidest people alive. I can't wait for Muslim lover piece of **** nobama to die! I can't wait for doom to be coming civil war do I can shoot Muslims and libs!!
That's my view of this topic. I'm not going to be a pussy and talk about what a mower can and can't do on a hill

AmericanTurf,
To get back on topic....I take it you do NOT have/use a ROPS or seatbelt on that Grasshopper because a fatal rollover absolutely can not EVER happen to you??? You are a good ole boy American that is "10 feet tall and bullet proof"(there may be a Muslim with a legal gun and carry permit that's a beter shot than you are...and loves HIS freedom to practice the Isalm faith as a U.S. citizen under our Constitution). That is NOT the subject of this thread!!!!!! I respect your rights to an opinion but this is not the place to discuss that.
