Mowing....is it viable?

[33bk]

the owner of the houes will have to have a mower get them to buy the ride on you take the rest of the gear strimmers blowers etc . and u get the work they by the mower jobs a goodun !

AS they have move from a postage stamp garden to a place with 2 acres of lawn, they dont have a mower big enough. As they have not budgetted for a large mower they are looking to pay someone to cut. I think they both work so time is of the essence for them too.

I know a guy near you Andy, used to do it full time 15+ years ago still has the equipment for the odd church he still does. hates cutting hedges too! I'll get his number if youre intrested

Cheers Josh, maybe handy.

Ask what they are willing to pay then do the math from there. cutting grass on a ride on is awesome, forrest gump tastic.

Have you thought about getting a mower for behind the quad Andy?

[Andy Collins]

I have considered a tow-behind, but the problem is i have aggressive Kenda Executioner tyres and they will plough up the immaculate lawns:biggrin:

starting to think it will be less grief just to farm out the mowing.

Initially going down the hire route for this job, if more comes in I'll re-assess later. Got a ride-on for a tenner a day, I supply fuel. That'll do for now.
