    Cool Another newbie joins the fold

    Hello Everybody.

    Been peering through the blinds for a while now, but with the new financial year decided enough was enough and time to take the plunge and start my business.

    Been involved with a few big companies in the property maintenance and strata sector in sydney and have decided to stop making other people money and run my own bizz in staid of theirs

    Even tho im not a green horn I love this forum always so much to learn on here.

    I plan to be working mainly around the Hills and Hawkesbury area doing Acreages.

    Looking forward to sharing experiences with everyone.

    And for those wondering, my avatar is me taking a 7200 groundsmaster through some 8ft high native tobacco weeds around Penrith.

    Hope it all works out for you.
    It sounds like you already have a plan and the equipment.

    welcome aboard, those 7200 machines are a good bit of gear to use, miss having a diesel ZTR ...997 or 7200 is the next step I think. nothing quite like starting your own business after doing it for other companies, you wont look back
    I dont break things ...I just use them beyond their operational limitations

    Great time to get your thoughts/planning and gear ready for an assault in spring during September. When I launched it was about 29 August 4yrs ago, I thought I launched two wks too early at the time and I was spending big $$'s on advertising. But each season is different and having a slow start in the first month was OK as the nerves were settling.
    Look forward to your valued input here and best wishes for a successful transition it this.
    Cheers Garry

    Welcome aboard.

    I said the same thing about my machine. If you get a good quality machine they can take a little beating for short periods of time without too much damage.
    All the curves under the deck are not original with my Hustler though. And some places that should be flat have curves

    Welcome aboard. Hope all goes well for you. If you ever want to chat or catch-up give me a call. I tend to work around Baulkham Hills 1 to 2 days a week.
