Who wants to replace a mower every year? You need to spend the time to go out and shop and buy one. You have to get rid of the old one.
If you can spend more initially and just keep using it for 10 years; that is a much simplier and less expensive route to go.
You guys don't get it.
Go ahead, keep buying all that equipment...mowers, weed wackers, leaf blowers, snow blowers, edge trimmers, chain saws, rakes, gas, oil, sharpening costs, ...etc.
Been there, done that.
Give it all up.
Hire someone!
Add up what you think your time is worth...do that math!
Time wasters...all of that stuff!
