Who can buy a commercial mower?

[grnspot110]

I have never considered buying a commercial mower. I do not really have the cash either. Still what is the advantage of using a commercial mower?

In my case, i needed the higher cutting capability (5" for commercial, compared to 4" for residential) for use at the farm. Commercials also have a higher blade speed, and are built heavier.

Commercial mowers are not for everyone, but in many cases, they are a better buy for the long term! ~~ grnspot110

With all the talk about Commercial mowers, I'd like too know what in the world people are classifying as a Commercial lawn mower. Are we talking about Lawns and Lawn Mowers or are we talking about farm equipment and all kind of acreage????? :confused2:

Some lawns are .... small, some are ... large.:wink:


I have used farm equipment and I don't think anyone is going to mow lawns with farm equipment. :smile:KennyV

If you can afford it, you can buy it but the good ones are quite expensive. However, no requirements for business ownership are involved. In fact, my father has a commercial mower and doesn't own a business. He just has 6 acres of lawn to mow !

There is a LOT of difference between any real Commercial grade equipment and Residential equipment...

A commercial mower will give thousands of hours service life...

To address the OP question... "Who can buy a commercial mower?" Typically it is a city or municipality, a golf course, or lawn landscape business... and none of them do it for the idea of wasting money, if you need rugged dependable rebuild-able equipment...it is the least expensive in the long run.
If it could be done with cheaper stuff ... it would be. :smile:KennyV
