What is the difference between commercial lawn equipment and regular ones?

best lawn mower home depot image

dee jr

I wanted to start a landscaping company and a friend of mine suggested that i get a commercial lawn mower instead of one at home depot as they are better for heavy duty work, i wanted to know what is the difference in terms of work load they can do.

Answer
Aside from some having larger engines and wider swaths which help you work faster, the industrial grade stuff will generally have a longer Mean Time Between Failure, meaning they will run more days at 8 hours a day before breaking down. They have better construction, like using ball bearings in places instead of bushings.

what kind of gas do you use in a new kohler engine lawn mower?

Susan

It is a new Lawn Boy mower bought at Home Depot.
I heard on the radio that the unleaded gas with ethanol is bad for mowers.

Answer
Hi Susan

If you can buy 100 percent gasoline, that is what you should use. It runs better and is not as bad about gumming up your carburetor as ethanol gas is. There is a station near me that has non ethanol gasoline so there are a few around. If you are going to store your mower over the winter it is best to add an additive to prolong the fuel's life. A couple of these are STP fuel treatment, Sta-bil.

Hope this helps

Johnny
