I'm thinking about starting a little lawn service side business for some extra cash, nothing big just about 10-15 lawns. I want to quite my part time job and stay busy between projects.
My question is who makes a decent commercial mower? I need the excersis so I figured I'd get a 36in walk behind. I'm doing this for extra cash so I don't plan on taking on any monster yards, I can afford to be picky.
I figure $1k to get all the equipment, IE trailer, push mower for little stuff, trimmer, blower, odds and ends. The largest expenses by far is the big mower, thats going to cost a few bucks.
Are Scag's any good?

My ROI isn't to horrible, 15 lawns at $25 a pop is about $375 a week. So after the first season its all gravy. I'm willing to shell out the cash to avoid a part time job, to me thats a worth while investment.
