Q.3 What equipment were you using early on?

[Steve]

Here is the 3rd question of the lawn care business documentary I want to put together. I look forwards to reading your insights. 3. What equipment were you using early on? Do you have any pictures of it you can include? What have you since changed with your equipment and why? Question #2 - Question #4

I started out with a residential grade- walk behind mower,trimmer, blower and a walk behind snow thrower.I hauled it all my car.

I haven't changed much, other then riding lawn tractors.Now I have-
2 craftsman lawn tractors 18 and 21 hp
several walk behind mowers residential grade
2 Stihl hand held blowers, that aren't any more reliable then box store brands
2 Honda four stroke trimmers, they are great.

2 trailers 5x9 and 4x12
3 walk behind snow blowers. 9,8.5 and 10hp

As you see I have a backup for everything. Living in a small town with the nearest repair shop 50 miles away round trip. Back up is mandatory.

My equipment fits my costumer base.
I would like a ztr and a back pack blower but I cant justify at this time
