hi everyone,
long time lurker here, finally joined up today. i have learned a lot from everyone's posts and it's great to see everyone so eager to share their experience!
im in the process of setting up a lawn and garden maintenance/cleanup service here in perth, will be starting off part time and then hopefully moving to full time as soon as it is financially viable. my partner and I plan to run it as if we are full timers, registering our business name, insurance, police clearances and all of that. she will be drumming up the business via contact with estate agents, schools etc and dropping flyers. she will also hopefully be very busy writing invoices i'll be pushing that bad boy around the green stuff!
after reading all of the info on here we are really going to be aiming for quality over quantity when it comes to clients, and i think the first step with that is getting a reel mower.
So, after that lengthy intro, what is the general consensus of Masport Reel/Cylinder Mowers? obviously down the track i would love to get my hands on a d&f or mey, but i am thinking of starting with a masport due to the lower price which will then be a good second reel when we upgrade. our budget unfortunately really doesn't stretch to the cost of the Mey or D&F even second hand.
