    Let me know if you have to mow lawns in the rain.

      Always this time of year, never fails. You just gotta keep on mowing... if you can. Save money by using electric products, you can even charge them via solar power to save even more. It would be smart to carry a huge battery charger with you so you can go all day long without going back to the house. Goood video and information 👍

      @@backwoodsp.n.wYes for sure. Gotta do what you gotta do here in the PNW. Still waiting for the “I would fire you if you mowed my lawn in the rain!” comments I always get from those that don’t understand the PNW. All my lawns are in a very close proximity to my house. Like a 5 - 10 minute drive at the most. So I always stop at home a few times during the day to use the washroom anyway. I will be testing some different onboard charging alternatives though for guys that don’t have that option to go home. So stay tuned for that. Thanks for watching.

    If I can ask, how old are you? Im 53 and trying to get over the mental block "Im to old" to jump full time solo. Always admired your dedication.

      I’m 49. I know how you feel. My brain tells me I’m still 20 but my body says whoa there ol’ timer! 😂 Can it be done at your age. Sure why not. Most of the guys in my area are in that age range. Just can’t do as many lawns as you would when you were younger. So you be more selective and just take the good paying clients. Thanks for watching.

      Thanks Craig. Those fin-print.com dye sublimated shirts and hoodies are pretty cool. Goes well with the Kujo.com pants and boots. Thanks for watching.

    Have you have any issues with the rain with your Milwaukee equipment?

    • @LawnCareBusinessSuccess
      @LawnCareBusinessSuccess  2 місяці тому +3

      So the Milwaukee equipment is one that clearly states not use in the rain. There is a sticker on the shaft of the equipment with a rain cloud and a red X over it. So I generally don’t use the Milwaukee stuff on rainy days. At least on the main pieces where batteries are exposed to the rain. So previously I would always use the Milwaukee on dry days then switch to gas powered equipment in the rain. The Kress allows me to use the battery stuff everyday. Thanks for watching.

    Are you using battery powered exclusively mow? Are you using 21" mower for all your lawns?

    • @LawnCareBusinessSuccess
      @LawnCareBusinessSuccess  2 місяці тому +1

      Yes for the most part all battery except for my two largest mowers. The 36” turf tracer and 42” Navigator. Besides that only really the aerator and power rake I have and still use that are also gas. But the majority of my lawns are all with the small push mowers. I always say small lawns = big profits.
