Mistake most of us make is not firing up equipment until it is needed.
Wait until grass needs cutting and find mower does not work and needs to
be taken to shop for repair is when you will find shop is up to it's
eyeballs with mowers needing repair and you may have to wait 3 weeks to
get yours repaired.
It's a mistake not to start he mower now when the grass'll need cutting
in a couple of weeks. Also, all 9-1-1 for the accident you'll have next
month.
Nah. At the end of last season you changed the oil and plug and sharpened the blade, right? This year all you have to do is prime and pull.


I stopped by the local higher end lawnmower sales and repair shop.

Toro push mowers start at around $350 and go up to about $500 for the steel deck, the other deck is a bit more.

But the one marked commercial, that otherwise looked like a pushmower, started at $1400. Hondas are around $600 or so now.
