Mike Andes reviews the Honda GCV170, a $420 consumer mower he used starting Andy's Lawn Care at age 11. It's light enough to fit in a truck bed and handles 10 to 20 lawns, but it's not built for full-time commercial work.
Honda GCV170
About 10–20 lawns
11 years old
Alright, this is the GCV170.
This is a Honda mower. It's not even a.
Commercial mower. Okay. So this is actually.
The first mower.
That I started with when I started Andy's Lawn Care. At 11 years.
Old, it.
Is definitely not grade construction for commercial type work.
It's really not meant to be mowing all day, every day, for weeks on end. So if you only.
Have 10, 15.
20 lawns that you do, it's a.
Really great option when you're just getting started.
It's cheap, it's.
Light, you can actually pick this bad boy up pretty easily.
And put in the.
Back of a truck.
So you don't need to get a big fancy trailer or a ramp rack or anything like that. That's $420 a residential grade mower. And it's definitely not going to be used if you're starting to grow really big.
