[QUOTE="Raido Free America, post: 4120400, member: 45328"] My old Bad Boy was 11 yras old, and used up. I was going to have to replace it, as well as a trim mower, and weed eater. I had about settled on a $5,000.00 zero turn mower, one like this would likely be in the $10,000.00 neighborhood, new. I'm 77 , fat and lazy, and got to wondering how many times I could have my yard mowed, and trimmed, for what I a was about to spend? I estimated the amount of interest lost, or paided on this amount of money, the cost of fuel, oil, filters, parts, etc and estimated the life of this new mower, and other equipment, at 8 years! Guess what I could have this lawn work done for 8 years for the same amount of money, or less!! I pay a lawn service $75.00 per mowing, about one acre, they mow once a week in the wetter part of the summer, and every two weeks in the dryer part, these guys have top of the line equip, like this above, and usuially have three YOUNG men do the job very well in about 15 or 20 minutes! I usually set on the porch in a rocking chair, of inside under the AC, if it's to hot, and say GOOD JOB GUYS!! [/QUOTE]
