Q. I've been wanting to start a mowing business but I've been having trouble figuring out the prices for mowers. You can buy a nice self propelled 21" mower for $300 but then if you want a 32" mower suddenly the price shoots up to about $1500. Why do lawn mowers cost so much? You can buy a riding lawn mower for the price of a 32".


Answer
Both of those prices are for "homeowner quality" mowers. Meant to be used once ,maybe twice a week to mow a small to medium sized yard.
If you do use them for your mowing business, figure on only getting one summer out of them.
Comercial mowers are way more expensive than the prices you have posted, but will last several years .
Just starting out, try to find some good used commercial mowers. Go talk to your local mower shops, look on craigslist, look for mowers at auctions.

Am I getting the quality of a John Deere ride mower from Home Depot?

Q. Ok so I was looking to buy a new ride lawn mower after earning about 2,500 dollars last summer mowing lawns (I am 14). My dad says our current crappy one is fine but it really sucks. I was looking at John Deere ones because i here they are good quality, on their website they were in the $10,000 range! Meanwhile, a John Deere from the Home Depot was $1,500 - 2,500 dollars. The 1,800 dollar ones i like looks the same on both websites, but is the Home Depot one as good quality as one directly from John Deere?


Answer
Ok I'm not sure how to explain this one but im going to try. I use my fathers husqvarna chainsaw one summer to make a little money on a farm I got a job on. I like it so much I purchase one from a store like lowe. come to find out its not the same quilty as getting it from a dealer. If you want a new mower for your lawn cutting its understandable but if pops will let you keep useing his save that money.
