      You always "speak French" when referring to your company, no matter how large. It instills a larger than self persona, indicates that the operator is serious and that he's not just "Joe from down the block that does some things". It's pretty standard practice in most industries.

    I have a Honda mower that is over 20 years old. I am the second owner, but I’ve beaten the absolute hell out of it. My secret to success is to just keep up with the maintenance, change the oil often, check the level every use, always new spark plug and filter. It’s getting to the point where I should replace it, but I will likely do a light overhaul of it and run it into the ground, it is a workhorse. You can go to any dealership that sells Honda and get parts for it. I haven’t tried an actual auto dealership, but any place that sells mowers, atvs or motorcycles could likely help you out. It is hard to believe I got mine for free, because it was abandoned in a shed and the new homeowner couldn’t get it started. I didn’t judge him on that, I just said “thank you!”.

    Glad to see how simple your set up is. Nothing in this set up is financed which is amazing probably the 36 inch but that’s about it. “ keep the set up as cheap as possible and kill the game with a cheap functioning set up “ 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

    • @roadrunnerlawns
      @roadrunnerlawns  3 роки тому +2

      You’re correct, the 36 was the only thing financed and the other equipment was purchased with funds throughout the season. My particular situation was unique as my business was considered a “side hustle” and I still received a salary from my full time job. I will touch more on this in later videos but there’s plenty of more to come as well as my ideology on the lawn care industry now and going forward. Stay tuned!

    • @jamesflynn10
      @jamesflynn10 2 роки тому +4

      You will never find a ‘99 that is not rusted out where I live. If it is low miles and not rusted, being from a dry part of the country without road salt exposure, it is possible it could sell for that much. Not to mention, old school Toyota is so much simpler, although likely harder to get parts for. Given the following for old school American trucks, I wouldn’t be too surprised if a clean low mile Tundra or Tacoma could sell for $20,000.

    If you want to keep the front from hopping, you can probably stop it with a wratchet strap over the top front of the mower. The tires are held down but nothing in the front so this may do the job for you until you start tying down from your tie down hooks

    God bless you and keep you safe Mr Hard Workingman! Please be very aware that thugs will pull up beside you, jump out a backdoor, into your truck bed, and dive back in and be gone in about 4 seconds. This HAS happened to my construction friend, lost a Stihl Concrete Saw $$$. He carries a handgun, has constant video on his two trucks which were parked face to face, and was in the truck with his crew eating lunch. It happened so fast that the thieves were gone before he even got out his truck. He called the cops, waited 4 hours, they never showed so he lost time $$$ with his whole crew and the saw and got zero justice. Please spend the money and buy/build you some locking bars or racks. You work too hard to be robbed, but the scum target blessed hard working souls like you!

    Delivered a nice even cut, has the super tight turning ability ua-cam.com/users/postUgkx1VWTrayKBdCKAjzAcZ_Eg4dhHTae3LkN also recommend I was looking for, and is just a blast to drive. It takes a little bit to get used to driving one after driving a normal tractor style, but once you've got it, you've got it. If you're cutting lines, you have to be careful spinning the mower around or the back tire will dig a bare spot. Just take it nice and slow during the turn and then it's back to full throttle across the yard!

The blades are sharp, very sharp. The one minus that everyone should be aware of is you need to be very careful taking the cutting unit out of the box. There’s a plastic guard so you don’t cut fingers as you take the main unit out of the box but it’s not taped down. As I took the unit out, I ended cutting a piece of my shirt. The plastic guard moved and my shirt touched one of the blades.

    I'm a solo guy...hustler ztr, 2 stihl fs series trimmers and a 40v leaf blower. The fs trimmers can knock down any area big enough to consider using a push mower in the same time, but with less effort. So any ditch or hill that the ztr can't do, gets done with the trimmers. I have a trimmers rack that holds the big trimmer line roll and a line cutter zip tied to it. Keeping things lean and efficient. I also don't travel far for yards...95% are within 3 miles of my house. Less travel time, less gas used.
