Hey y’all I’ve been running a lawn care business on my own for the last three years in high school and have over 19 clients. I currently have a toro 21 (22295) and a toro 30 Turfmaster (22210) as well as a whole commercial line of Stihl equipment.
I’ve always wanted a bigger and faster mower such as a 48” zero turn or semi large walk behind. I have a 8x5 trailer so a walk behind mower seems best as well as more maneuverable. Would getting a hydrostatics walk behind be better and faster than my 30” for residential and some larger duplexes/ apartments?

thanks,
Zach

Hydro-walks are the ideal machines for tough terrain and spaces that don't justify ride-on equipment. They curb-hop well, tackle slopes like a billy goat without attempting to kill the operator, tow sulky's like a boss, and are much better at all of that than a belt-drive commercial walk. They are kings of parking lot islands, slopes, and other challenging areas. Stand-on machines are also great for when you need more speed, have to keep it small enough (36-48") to do tight areas, and they take up the least amount of trailer space.
