Good tip about getting into backyards with gates. I settled for a 54" deck because it just makes it through the gate. I have a string attached to lift the discharge gard. Super happy with my Toro Timecutter MyRide 54". Residential use only. If your buy for a business, I think the upper line of the Toro is just as good as the EXmark for a lower price. They use many of the same parts.
I run a 36 stand on and actually bought a 61 inch zero turn because there was someone who needed 5 acres cut bi weekly. Brings in $1250 a month. More than covers my mower payment and all gas ran through all equipment for the month. On top of all my other properties. Sometimes things happen if you’re in the right position
If you really want to know, it's anything made by MTD. So Craftsman, Troy Bilt, and Cub Cadet. Honorable mention would be John Deere (no fabricated deck and parts cost - you're really paying for the name instead of quality)
Another great video. Since I do city lots I've operated a Timemaster and 21" for ever. But my second service area is full of larger properties with little gates. Something about Houston builders and tiny gates. Anyway, I'm looking at something bigger, but also easy on the body. As I get older I prefer comfort of trinkets. Best cut, most productive and least wear on body...
It's not that Houston has smaller gates. The gate companies love smaller gate because it is easier on their cheap hardware. I had a custom gate made and they still screwed it up!
Hey Jason, let me ask you a question; a big practice is to hose bermuda down with glyphosate while it's dormant to promote a clean slate in spring time. Can this be done with st.Augustine? I know st.Augustine doesn't normally go completely dormant but the last couple seasons we've had hard freezes, and my st.aug here as far south as southeast Texas has gone 95% paper sack brown dormant. Has anyone even tried it with documentation? Keep up the good work with your channel, we appreciate the routine uploads and real world advice. Thanks.
What would you recommend for a lawn and snow company in Canada? Where we would do lawns in the summer and snow blowing in the winter. We would focus on mainly residential. So each person would be their own business owner and would work solo and have a light duty trailer that they pull behind a light duty truck or light duty SUV. They could fit everything they need in that trailer to be able to offer basic lawn services and the summer and then offer driveway clearing with their snowblower attachment in the winter. We are opening a division that does that here in Canada soon and I would love to know what your opinion is. Thanks for making these great videos!
I've been looking at the John Deere 52". Do you have any thoughts on John Deere zero turn? Would it be something that you would buy or do you steer clear of John Deere?
Don't forget the majority of zero turns are made of the exact same components. The frames,seats, and controls and a few other gizmos is what is different. Most of them just copy each other at Louisville every year. Water cooled engines, metal pulleys, and heavy duty hydros are what make a mower good.
Delivered a nice even cut, has the super tight turning ability ruclips.net/user/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!
No suspension on the machines but Exmark and Toro have a “myride” system that suspends the operator platform. It takes away all of the shock to your body, so you don’t notice missing suspension. The Ferris and Simplicity suspension paired with their seats are very comfortable.

Nice bro how’s it going did it eventually pay itself off ?
Great advice. I personally use a 52" Exmark Lazer Z with 24hp Kawasaki engine. It's the perfect size for me. Shout-out from Anniston.
No we want you to mention those mowers you would not recommend 😊. We need your experiences
Right. Scotty Kilmer doesn’t mind throwing the junk car brands under the bus every day. I need to know what to avoid

Hey I agree 48”-52” with a higher output HP engine. Nice video
Love my scags!!!! Thanks for your awsome videos!!!!
Thanks Jason, Happy New Year! Wishing you a great/profitable 2023
Thank you. Same to you!
@@lawncarelife appreciate it Jason, I’m kicking off my business this year as a solo operator. To start, I’ve got a 48 stander and a 21” push.
Thanks for another informative video. Please keep doing what you’re doing

Thank you for the video. Blessings to you.
Spartan mowers are also a great brand. I own the commercial SRT series Spartan and it’s been good!
I saw a local guy with one of those recently. He told me he really liked it
I have a 2021 Exmark Lazer Z E Series 48" it cuts all my yards i dont take push mowers.
Real good stuff my friend!

Good point
That's why quality dealer support in most important.
Thanks for Info brother!
Thanks for sharing, God bless
Jason, you still have a typo on your website - the main page says "proving" weed control and fertilization instead of "providing"
Thanks for pointing that out. I emailed them. I will email them again
Do you do reel mowing on your own lawn?
Scag offers a 37hp briggs on their 52”. I’m considering that myself, what do you think?
The vanguard 37Hp EFI is a great engine buy could be a bit of HP overkill. I will consume about 1.45gal.? Hr.
Great video very well explained

Can u get exmark with suspension like ferris or bad boy?
Not sure about that
No suspension on the machines but Exmark and Toro have a “myride” system that suspends the operator platform. It takes away all of the shock to your body, so you don’t notice missing suspension.
The Ferris and Simplicity suspension paired with their seats are very comfortable.
Argo power equipment?? 😮
Correct
@@lawncarelife I use them often!
