Lawn care business tips
For one.... Just like in a car, you gotta slow it down in the corners.
two... Keep both wheels turning at all times, the digg when they pivot. Take the one you have at center & pull back a bit making it rotate the other way. On some really nice lawns sometimes you may need to make it more like a 3 point turn. (still way faster than riding a tractor mower!)
Hope that helps you (with the hole(s) you've been digging for yourself).

Sometimes on softer turf you just have to do a Y turn to turn around before going back the other way.
