Having said that you would be taking a big risk purchasing one if you didn't already have an adequate customer base.
I was reading a discussion on Lawnsite the other day about stand on mowers v's normal zero turns for mowing business's. The general consensus was that a stand on was defiantly the more efficient option for small to medium properties but that a sit down zero was still the better option on medium to large properties.
As much as I like the idea of these stand on mowers, I wouldn't like to be standing up the whole time on jobs that took an hour or more.
