HELP ANY LANDSCAPERS ZTR or Kubota 7800 for rural suburb area
Hello all, and thanks for taking your time to help!!!
I am a newbie and need some advice: I am semi-retired from offshore construction(commercial diver) and have been in an office for a couple years. Everyday the walls close in about 3", and i am miserable, I like to work outside with my hands. I have been envying you guys and have decided to take the plunge...
Went down to my Lexmark dealer who is also Kubota to price ZTRs and am now confused ! His question was whether i intended on doing lawncare OR landscaping , where I thought most LANDSCAPERS did both or at least were somewhat one and the same.
I can only afford one major piece of equipment. His opinion/advice seemed to be that if I wanted to do lawncare only, then he would get a ZTR. But if I wanted to offer the broader spectrum of actual landscape services then he would go with a Kubota 7800 compact utility tractor, cutting deck, and a couple implements. Then use my JD riding mower on small lawns.
As experienced professionals what do you guys think? Have any of you made that decision? With that kind of money I cannot afford a mistake!

HELP ANY LANDSCAPERS ZTR or Kubota 7800 for rural suburb area
Hello and THANK YOU ALL for your responses! This equipment issue has been one of extensive research and much contemplation.
It sounds as though you guys have some extensive experience, so could your brains for some pricing and service info:
When doing a lawn how do you determine pricing and what is fair?
What services do you include in basic lawn care?
Do you guys include edging, blowing drive and walks, and pruning in that pricing or are any of these extra?
Do you guys offer lime/fertilizer/pesticide etc?
Thank you all!

Thank you all, your comments and/or advice is GREATLY apreciated.
The average lawn size in my area is say .6 acres, I am in South Carolina, what do you think would be a fair starting price for that service?
