I will report back with pictures in about 6 weeks when the grass needs to be cut.

Should be fine on Bermuda, it needs to be cut to 1" so you don't need much suction. But while you're at it , think of some other potential money makers. Bermuda requires frequent dethatching, and so a tow behind dethatcher might pay off quickly. Spring is also a good time to plug aerate tall fescue lawns, and even at $60 a yard a tow behind aerator will pay itself off quickly. If you plug aerate you will also want to put down some pre-emergent in tall fescue lawns to prevent all the weed seed you just pulled to the surface from germinating. Extra $. You will also be plug aerating tall fescue in the fall and Bermuda in the summer. Fertilizing could also be part of the maintenance program, charge another $20 on top of actual cost to spread it. Overseeding tall fescue lawns in the fall is big $, to the tune of $300-$500 a yard, depending on size - a tow behind sweeper will help make that a breeze and may be used for leaf cleanup in the fall as well , more $. Just a few extra things your son can offer now that he has a tractor to use.
