Any suggestions for the benefit of my future? I go into school at 8:00 am and get out at 2:54.

Answer
get a lawn mower and start cutting grass. There are no jobs that will pay more than minimum wage for a 16 year old part time worker unless you start your own business. But when you get out of highschool, you could search for warehouse jobs, usually need little to no experience, usually are full time and pay more than minimum wage. You could get two years experience for a warehouse, or "distribution facility," by getting some books or items at yard sales and such and selling them on amazon or ebay and mailing them, then your home is a small distribution facility or warehouse and you'll have two years experience on your resume and hopefully some extra cash:)

What is the best riding mower?

Adam

My dad and I have been mowing some lawns commercially on the side for the past 7 or 8 years. I have one job that is about 6" to 8" tall when we mow it and it is not like city grass, it's like grass that grows in the country. It is about 5 or 6 acres of that with little trees that try to grow in the grass. That yard takes about 5 or 6 hours of mowing each time. The rest of my yards are in town and a lot smaller. For the jobs I have right now I have been using a 2007 Cub Cadet Tractor mower, 24 horsepower, 50" cut that I bought this year and I works we'll but I bought it used and it already has some problems. I recently narrowed down my selection to a mower with 24+ hp and a 42" + cut zero turn mower under $3,500. It has to be durable and be able to do this job and not fall apart. I was looking at the 2013 Hustler Raptor (23 hp Kawasaki engine, 54" cut with a really strong deck and build for $2,899) and a Bad Boy MZ Magnum (27 hp Briggs and Stratton motor and a 54" deck built also really strong for $3,499) I would much rather have more hp but I heard someone say that the Kawasaki motor runs so much better, but is it as powerful as the 27 hp Briggs and Stratton motor? Any suggestions on other ztr mowers and and answer to this question of which one would be better for my job(s) would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

That cub is a hard mower to beat. I think I would look and see how much to repair it first.
