In Business
 

Well most of you guys know that I was helping a friend with his new lawn care business. He has been having some very serious health problems and will not be able to continue. So after much consideration, I have taken over the business. I'm changing the name and I'm going to give it a go on my own. When they got the equiptment they bought a bagger for the Tank. Well after 2 months waiting for cub to build them I decided to go another way today. I ended up getting this pull behing vac for the same price, and the cub rep said since they couldn't get me the bagger fast enough, that when they get them built they'll send me one for about half price :biggrin2:. Also while I was there I ended up trading the walk behind (POS) for a 2 stage blower for the super :biggrin2:. Going back tomorrow to do some more dealing :biggrin2:. Gonna focus on leaf removal this fall since it's so late in the year for grass. So the vac should come in handy. After the leaves are done I'll be going into the plowing business to. Keep your fingers crossed for me :biggrin2:.

Hey congrats on the business and I wish you the best of luck. :beerchug:

Good luck, hope the best.

Nice vac Eric!

Good luck, hope everything goes great for you.
Great picture of the Cub and vac.

Congrats Eric - the one bit of advice I'd give you is that if he's got a good client base, I'd consider keeping the name. If it's been around a long time and he's got a good reputation, that's worth a lot in business. Once you change the name, you kind of fall into the alphabet soup of all the lawn care businesses out there.

Sorry to hear about your friend Eric, hope he hangs in there. Congrats to you, and good luck my friend!
