Lawn care
Hi, my name is Josh, I'm new here and just recently started my lawn care business. I want to know you guys go to equipment for good prices, far as weedeaters, mowers, back pack blowers, etc.. Thanks
Hey Josh.. for BIG GEAR... whatever is closest to you that will give you great dealer support. We have toro and **bleep** in 2 directions in less than 15 minutes. We rock **bleep** 48" V-Ride II and 36 walk behind with a sulkie. small gear is all echo 2620 for sticks and one of the blowers (9010) and the other blower is Sthil BR 800. That's not as powerful and $125 cheaper, and has the most awesome off switch ever.. (Can't leave it off when trying to start....). I've used Sthil 91r's and they worked great, just heavy. Trimmer line in the Sthil was .105 black diamond and it would eat fences all day.
If you are going to grow, and are buying new, ask about FLEET discounts. I'm looking at a Ferris next year, and with the fleet deal, i'll prolly grab a 36" walk behind for dang near free.
But dealer support is where it's at. if you have a down machine and that's 100% of the biz...can't wait for 3 weeks to get it fixed. Most times, i'm in and out in a couple of hours. I've also just swung by and hung out with the dudes at the counter, brought doughnuts...never hurts.
good luck sir!!
