Upgrading my mower

[Ric]

I know that, but you made enough money to also buy a better mower. This is at the top of my budget.

No, I saved enough money using a Honda push mower and a LT1045 46" cut to buy a 44" Z Force which made me enough money to buy the G 1336 WB for a back up. The 44" was my primary mower when I actually started the business and after a bit I purchased the 48" Z force which brought the productivity level up which allowed me to sell the 44 and 1336 and use the money to buy the Grandstand. The turfmaster was an easy pickup and Thanks to the 0% financing so was the Z Master and it will be paid off by August (one year) and if I decide to stay in business next season my intentions are to sell the Z and replace it with the 48" Grandstand. Now with the process I went through along with the other Honda and Three CC 21" push mowers you can only guess How much money I wasted to get where I am.

You always make me laugh! How big of yards do you do with your 48"?

I use it on my small yards because I can go around the house and trees faster then with a ZTR.

On big yards we will use it and the toro or hustler.

It's main purpose is for hills and roadside ditches.

I like to use because it is a total body workout.
Keeps my sugar levels down.

Sometimes I have my headphones on. A good song from the 80s will play and I get lost thinking about what I was doing first time I heard the song.
My wife always knows I hit my head going under a tree daydreaming when she sees my hat on the ground.

Well put Ric! I don't always agree with you, but I agree on this! I have learned that also. Not as hard as you tho. I always buy commercial equipment now. Saves me time and money.

The belt drive is harder to use or drive on slopes than the Turf-Master or a ztr.

Luckily my lawns are mostly flat. And not bumpy.

Have you ever used a belt drive walk behind??

Yes I have. A 34" Billy Goat walk behind. What were you going to say if I hadn't used one before. Just curious as I still don't have much experience with them.

HaHa if that's what you call a Walk Behind you are in for a surprise. That Billy is like driving that CC 33" and if that is all you've had experience with you haven't drove a WB.

Well then hey, that's another reason to demo the 36", is it not? :thumbsup:

That Billy goat had a Trans-axle it wasn't belt drive. Do you even know how a belt drive works?
