Lawn Mower

• There are different kinds of lawn mowers such as walking and riding mowers. A lawn mower with a powerful engine is the Easy Start Tecumseh. The Honda GCV 160 Engine has a low-pull force and a powerful torque for great engine performance. According to startalawncarebusiness.com, a 14-horsepower engine is ideal for commercial work if it has a 48-inch or smaller deck. An engine size of 17 horsepower or more is a good choice for riding mowers. Invest in a commercial lawn mower because it can handle a lot of use. Consider buying a mower with a blade-control system that lets you easily stop the blade, minimizing the number of times you have to turn off the mower. John Deere, American Lawn Mower and Ariens sell mowers with blade-control systems.
  
  

String Trimmer

• A string trimmer is another important tool for a mowing business because it provides a convenient way for you to cut thick, tall grass. String trimmers work by the high-speed rotation of a plastic string. Which string trimmer to buy depends on the size of your mowing jobs and the types of landscapes. String trimmer models include gas-powered, corded-electric and battery-powered. The most powerful string trimmer runs on gas, but it can be very loud. Corded-electric string trimmers have a push-button starter and are quiet and light to use. Battery-powered string trimmers are similar to corded electric models but are convenient because you don't need to plug them in. Buy string trimmers at NexTag and Sears.

Black & Decker and Craftsman sell some of the top brands of leaf blowers.
