Spence your really making a difference in all of these communities. I think of each time your doing these clean ups, who the previous owners were, and how your paying honor to them. Keeping up with one’s lawn is hard work, I do mine myself, and i put so much pride into every decision I make while making my property look nice. So I can tell by all the placed rocks, cut in flower beds, and chosen shrubs, that at one time someone stood on there land and THEY felt the pride i’m referring to. Again, you are paying homage to those that were there before. Keep up the good work!

​@@TrueFaceMaskhouses are very expensive now. Even renting a decent apartment in many parts of the country is too expensive for many people. Average rent is now $1500 month.

Another wonderful job, Spencer. I'm trying to talk my husband into getting a BAD BOY. He doesn't want to spend the money because he already has three mowers. The problem is he has to keep fixing them before he can mow. I may have to surprise him this year.

[@imochiexe5056]

We have a Bad Boy zero turn mower for our 1.5 acre yard. Deck cuts 54", we change the oil and filter every spring, Sunoco regular unleaded, change gas filter every 2-3 years, lube joints we can reach, blow off debris when it's dry enough to do so, time to mow under 30 minutes including 4 mature and 3 young trees out in the yard, driveway easement and sidewalk mulching grass clippings. You didn't ask but I thought it informative to share our experience. We bought the maintenance kit but have had no reason to use included spark plugs. It runs like a top and we really like the results. Blade needs sharpening but hubs reluctant to engage a trailer rental to take it 17 miles to dealership. Paid it off 3 years ago and have owned it +/- 6years. Enjoy the ride, Spencer!❤🎉😊

[@shawnreissig1430]

I believe that mower does a more superb job than the other. It looks like it doesn't leave it as clumpy as your hustler!

There is so much work that It seems like you could use an industrial chipper pulled by a dump truck.
