I quit doing maintenance many years ago. I buy a new mower every 3
years and don't bother with maintenance anymoore.


I find that hard to believe. My maintenance consists mainly of an oil
change and air filter cleaning and it takes less than 30 minutes and
costs less than $5. If you can buy a new mower every 3 years for only
$15 incremental, then I guess this is cheaper. I don't think you can
sell a three year old mower for only $15 less than what you will pay for
the new one.

I don't know... new mower 99 bucks. annual maintenance of 30 minutes plus
oil, air filter and sparkplug and effort vs. a new mower every three
years... plus you deduct the mower for 99 bucks on your taxes when donated
to charity (where they will change the oil and sparkplug, airfilter etc.).
It's not hard to justify buying a new mower instead of just buying a new
one. (if you are buying cheap mowers that is)
