Troy-Bilt Owner Check-In --- Read This First!

[lawn mower fanatic]

I have a Troy-bilt push mower and it has a Honda GCV-160 motor in it. I bought it last year and I mow 20-30 lawns a week with it. It is a great mower!

:welcome: Welcome! I mow 20-25 lawns a week with my Honda. How large are the lawns you do?

I can't give you the exact size, but when I am alone, it takes me about 45 minutes-1 hour to mow the whole lawn, trim and blow if needed. When I am with my employee, it takes half the time. It really depends. Some take me 15-30 minutes to do.

I work alone and it takes the same amount of time. It's probably around 0.25 acre.

Yes, that is close to that! I have an employee, because I also have small landscaping jobs and cleaning up yards. Also, at every two weeks I mow lawns around a huge place that has three cottages. It takes me about 5 hours of mowing and 2-3 hours of trimming. My Yard Works trimmer has been having a workout. I cooked the clutch:laughing:

Here is a pic of one of the sections I have to mow at the cottages. Looks good doesn't it?

That is a HUGE yard to mow with a little push mower! I own a push mower, because it gives me a better workout and less maintenance:tongue:

Yeah I have done close to 0.75 acre lawns with a push mower, but the majority of them are 0.25 acre. This yard looks bigger than it is because it's along a curve so this is most of the lawn they have...they really don't have much of a backyard.
