I usually start at about 7 : 00 am, but some want me to start at 8 : 00 am. During the weekend I start at 8 or 9 otherwise I get hated by the others and Sundays are jsut a no go. I always have an idiot crying and complaning because I start at 8 or 9.

I can't have cup holders cause I dont own a ZTR:frown: I just leave some water bottles in my truck and they got hot.

Lawnboy 18, how many yards do you cut in one day by starting so early? Just curious.

If I am with my employee, I can cut about 15 lawns and finish at 2:00 Pm. Don't forget I have to drive all over town in between lawn cuts, but most places where I stop I have 2 or more to cut in the same neighborhood Then, I go mow 2 or 3 more alone that are far away.

How large are the yards you do?

Yeah, that's small compared to mine. A push mower is good for those yards.....the pros have ZTR's for the size I do with my push mower.

Well, when I am alone, it takes about 25-45 minutes depending on the yard and having a ZTR would be useless, because there are fences in almost each yards and yes they are rather small.

You would need a ZTR or atleast a 30".

Yes I know! From start to finish lawns take around 45-60 mins.

Weed whacking and push mowing takes me 20 minutes per yard, 35 minutes if I'm alone on a double wide trailer.

And that's including hauling away the grass clippings to the compost pile on my lawn tractor.
