Nope, all of the landscapers in town drive brand new vehicles, and live in nice houses and have nice equipment. Whats most important is getting the jobs done and doing what you say your going to do. Believe me, I wouldn't want to live like a couple of his clients!, we had everything from gorgeous million dollar estates to downright dumps that we mowed lawns at. The wealthy are the best costumers and they don't keep any junk whatsoever and are extremely proud of their place and hire only the best, now which do you think they'd like, me pulling up in a junky old truck, or a nice shiny one. The guy I worked for had a brand new Ford diesel and a new enclosed race trailer with new mowers in it, it didn't seem to bother anybody and he had lots of clients, it was all the other stuff he bought that dragged him under, but the lawn mowing buisness was very successful. Am I going to run out and buy a new truck?, no, I'm going to use what I got until the buisness gets established before I'd consider any upgrades and even if I did have the money to upgrade right now from my '96 Chevy, I'd hold off because it's still a nice truck.

I needed a new pair of work boots and never seemed to get out of work in time to go buy a pair before the stores were closed. I want to work no longer than 40hrs a week, like I said, I'm not married and I don't require everything new, so I won't have a mess of finance charges to deal with.

My Papaw had a 1954 IH Super A that he bought to replace a Cub. My Papaw raised "baccer" (tobacco) and corn with the Super A, but the fondest memory was of the sawmill. He owned a small sawmill for sawing "baccer" sticks. The Super A was the powerplant. When I was old enough (7 or 8), I would get up early and be dressed to
