Well all, it's been one hell of a spring/summer for me. Many of you know I got into the lawn care business a while back, and have been working on growing the business.
Luckily i've been roughly doubling the amount of business I have each year, and this year was no exception. I actually had to cut back to 3 days a week at the store for a while, and just now am only back to 4-days a week. Granted I try to take off Sundays so I have at least 1 day a week off, but even that doesn't always work. I haven't even been flying my RC Planes very much this year as a result of mowing & working at the store.
I added a 42" Zero-Turn mower to my fleet this spring, and it's made the biggest difference of all. My father also gave me a 12' tilt trailer, I only had to replace the wood decking on it.
Now that it has finally quit raining here and the grass has slowed down, I now have more time available.
(some of you also know I took an intentional break from BoB for another reason, but that was stupid of me and somewhat childish - but all I can do is try to make things right from here on out)
While it's only a 42" Z-turn, it's the perfect size for what I do - which is small to med. residential work.
For the technically curious, Big Dog mowers are made by Excell corp - the same company that makes Hustler mowers. Same frame, same deck, same engine, just not all of the bells & whistles. A more familiar comparison would be like a Ford Expedition & a Lincoln Navigator.
Hey - we all had to start somewhere. 8)
