    I know some landscapers that have $8,000 mowers.

    That looks to be self-guided.
    Given that a groundskeeper costs abour 20k a year in wages to cut grass it might well pay for itself :)

    Getting your grass cut at home doesn't cost anywhere near that... and that lawnmower can't do even close to what a 20k per year groundskeeper can do, there is was more to groundskeeping than just mowing a lawn you know...

    The cool thing about that mower is that since it's hybrid I bet it runs very quietly.

    Depends on what she looked like. :shrug:

    Though, if they came in pairs and looked good, $11K might not be too bad.
