Hey Pete stick with it and you will make a good living. I got a friend thats rides quads, bikes, sea doos with me. He is 23 and already has his own home, F-250,3500 dodge, trans am, R1, 2 quads, and a 2004 sea doo. I am goin to tell you this. Save your money and buy a Turf Tiger mower and you will not regret it. They are a little pricey but well worth it. He has 3 and thats also what I have because I do my house, 2 salon, The office at the mines and mom and dads house. Oh yeah weed eaters and blower. All I got to say is Shindaiwa.
