What is a Good Mulching Mower For Heavy Use?

Joe M

I'm looking into starting a small lawn business with a friend, (roughly 25 lawns a week) and I need another mower and a leaf blower. I have a Honda Commercial Grade Mower that performs well but I need another one that does well mulching. It needs to be high quality, rear wheel drive, and adjustable speed as a minimum. The leaf blower just needs to be reliable.

Please recommend anything you have tried that has worked well. Thanks!

is it a safe temporary fix to drive my truck with rear assembly broken and using only the front wheels?

My 94 Ranger had the rear lock up. The drive shaft fell off and the rear wheels are locked up. Is it safe to use as a temporary transportation. (35-40mph) or so. So I can get a replacement rear end, and I need to tow my lawn mower to mow? I have a guy trying to free the back tires so it can basically be in neutral. I'd have to drive in 4X4 for hopefully less than a week.

Answer
you can do that for a little while, it wont hurt it. just run it slow like you said. 4x4's really are not made for highway speeds anyway. with only having the front working it will be harder on it. i know a guy who had a 2000 f-150, his universal joint went out on his rear drive shaft and he took it out and only used front wheel drive for over a month.
