Now my lawnmower recently died. This guy bought a new Scag zero turn
this year. He seen my brother bring over his mower for me to use. The
guy walked over, said I should have asked him, for he would cut my yard
for a mere $30 a pop. I was totally stunned, he would even suggest he
would charge me. The fella doesn't cut grass for a living, this is his
toy, and I know it was expensive, but geez. Not only that, several
people in the neighborhood have different companies cut their yards for
$20, and all these lots are similar in size.

Am I getting a taste of the "me" generation?

I know, I should just get over it.


It may be the me generation.

What I want to know is how big is the lot the grass needs to be cut for a
guy to have a Scag and at the same time you can get it cut for $ 20 ?
At around $ 5,000 plus for the Scag I would pay the $ 20 to get the grass
mowed.

He actually bragged he paid $7k for this thing. Our lots are about 1/2
acre, 90x200. Consider the houses, garages, sheds, decks, flower beds, and
driveways take up a big portion of that.
