We just picked up a toro titan and I’m beyond impressed with it. Built like a tank, 10mph cutting speed, tons of power, heavy duty deck, and it grips hills like it’s nothing, serviceable hydro’s with spin on filters. All for under $6000. I highly recommend looking at a titan as a first mower.

I run a crew in the mountains ranging from 3,000 to 5,000 ft in elevation. We have one EX-Mark (series-x I believe) Zero turn 52 inch that we can only use on about 10% of our yards. We have 3 Ex-mark 52 inch walk behinds, and they are ABSOLUTELY phenomenal. They are great for hills. For flat ground, we use a Z all day but everything we mow is basically vertical, so we stick to the walk behinds with a hefty weight kit on the front to keep us grounded. For reliability, durability and overall performance, the Ex mark walk behind is the best mower I've ever used hands down. Slightly harder to learn but is so much more useful for any tricky job. Sorry for such a long response, but I really love that mower. And also, the stripes you get from one are better than any other mower, with the trailer wheel the weight is more evenly distributed and it's a lighter mower by 200 lbs or so, just something to consider, hope this is useful!

That 1100 walk behind is almost as nice as the 5hp mower I used in the 90's to cut my dads and neighbor's lawns that cost about 200 bucks. That old mower wouldn't die, and we had to continually patch and wield the handles because we had used it so much the thin metal handles would fail from stress. Even that that 1100 price point, there is still no engine speed control, which is such a weird concept to me. Understandable with the low-end mowers.

Great info mike! Just saying for those who are starting out and mow big properties, if you dont have the say 5-10 thousand for a new zero turn dont sweat, look at used options! Especially someone who doesnt mind finding a mower to fix up. Parts arent crazy expensive its labor that bites you so if you do the labor, you can get a nice mower for cheap! I got an exmark vantage 48 inch for 3000 plus about $100 in parts and a little elbow grease and i love it! Those mowers are 9 thousand brand new! Find the right people and you can get a nice exmark 30 inch for around 1000 too.

1 year I nursed an old Troy bilt pony I bought for $200...the dime a dozen 42" rider...fixed it every other weekend. Then bought a troy bilt mustang ztr with 250h on it for $800...stamped deck doesn't handle commercial use...spent multiple weekends repairing the deck/spindles and straightening it out. Then I bought a hustler raptor SD 42" ztr for $4k. I've put 260h in 2 years with no downtime. I don't know how I got by with the other machines before. I mow about 60 yards a month, between a 10th and a half an acre lawns. Lots of small gates, so a 42" with a sturdy deck is perfect. A lot of guys do go and finance a $5k ztr and then find out it takes a summer to build up a decent customer base.

@@Orefamilylawncare meaning you can do adjustments after wear and tear your self without taking it in to a shop...everything is easily accessible from the top of the mower. Even the belt! Look them up! I’ll put money on this!

How large of properties will you take on only using the 30” mowers? We use two 30” Toros for our business model. We top out around 6-8k square ft. I’ve found we can’t charge enough to cover the time it takes us at slightly larger properties. I’m curious to know how you guys determine what properties you do with the 30” mowers. Thank you.

Our average is similar to yours... however we do also have much larger properties... we just have to bid more for them and don’t get as many

4:18 does anyone know if you can get standard high lift blades (not the toothed blade) for this mower? I live in Australia and have the Toro version. Where I live the grass is wet 8 months of the year and with these toothed blades it just clogs up extremely fast. Apart from those useless-outside-of-perfect-dry-grass blades, the mower is brilliant.

I'm 14 and have been in the business since 2016. Since then I've purchased a zero turn Honda push mower and small but helpful tools like edgers weed wackers and mowers. My next purchase is going to be a 7/14 closed in trailer. Do you have a recommendation for a trailer around under $7,000? I don't have the money yet but will be going out on a loan with the bank. I want to make sure what I get is good quality and will last year's. I will use it as storage till I'm 16 to make more room for my parents in there shed. I can't legally drive it till I'm 18 but will find an employee to do so for me. All recommendations would be much appreciated especially from the man himself. Thanks Mike!!!

So I have been in the industry for about 15 years and I have never seen the quality and performance that Kohler provides before. When I was younger everything was a Kawasaki engine and the power just wasn't there nor the durability even today every machine I see with a Kawasaki engine has had much more problems then the Kohler engines.
