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
Mower manufacturers have mowers they usually sell to home owners, or people that just mow for themselves. Then they have their "commercial" line of mowers, always more expensive. Just know, they all make the grass shorter.
Commercial units are usually built a bit stronger. Maybe a better motor with longer maintenance times, heavier built decks and blades, bigger gas tanks, oil filters to increase longevity. If I was starting out, I would go to craigslist(dot)org. I have always found several mowers, riders, commercial, and push mowers, as well as trimmers, trailers and any other tool you might need. Most people live close to 2 to 4 markets of CL that offer a variety of products.
So, buy used, as you develop the business, you will see and appreciate specific models and brands, then you can splurge on your favorite power tool.

What is a 139cc lawn mowers' horse power rating?

Q. 160cc lawn mower horse power rating

I noticed this year that mowers are being rated by cc's now

139cc costs about the same as a 6 HP mower last year a 160cc costs like a 6.5 HP mower, Are they the same horse power or are they making them less powerful since they have changed the way the are marketing them ,ie cc instead of HP.


Answer
The short answer is about 15 to 17cc = 1 hp or about 1 cu.in. = 1 bhp for a modern car
