Commercial-grade mowers like SCAG, Hustler, and Walker are built to last 1,500 to 2,000 hours when maintained properly.

We sharpen mower blades and chainsaw chains every Wednesday. Drop them off early we’ll get you back to work quickly and cleanly.
Depreciation of Commercial Mowers
If your zero-turn mower cost $10,000 new, here’s a rough estimate of its value over time:
| Hours Used | Estimated Value |
|---|---|
| 100 hrs | $8,500 |
| 300 hrs | $6,500 |
| 1,000 hrs | $3,500 |
Commercial landscapers typically replace mowers every 3 to 4 years, especially when logging over 1,000 hours a year.
Parts & Service for DIYers
We stock air filters, oil filters, fuel filters, oil, spark plugs, and more so you can get your machine tuned up and running at peak performance.
Special Invitation to Commercial Landscapers
With the recent rains, your machines are about to be pushed harder than ever. If your current mower is aging or unreliable, now’s the time to come by and check out our inventory of zero-turn mowers.
I’m personally willing to work with you on a trade-in or offer a better cash price on a new unit. Let’s make sure your business is ready for the season.
