Andrea W asked:

The exhaust on my push mower snapped off today. I got the end bit out that screws into the mower, but the actual exhaust has snapped off. Would it be safe to still mow my lawn without it?

17 February 2008 - 14:05how valuable is signage for a lawn care business?

curious asked:

a lawncare company that is losing market share refuses
to consider putting its name and number on its trucks. I
have told them that that is probably why no customers
call them on the phone as they have no way to know who
they are–am I missing something or is signage a must
for a visible small business like lawn care?

11 February 2008 - 17:20Lawn Mower question, if you have experience mowing lawns?

IWIU asked:

For just a small lawn, do you think a reel mower is ok, or will they get rusted up and hard to push after a while.

What do you think, reel, electric, gas.

I need to buy one, but it’s just a small lawn about 20 feet by 15 feet.
