Abstract/Contents:Discusses the potential for maintenance equipment to stop working or become obsolete, and lists questions to consider before purchasing new equipment. Suggests that "before deciding on a particular unit, whether it is a dedicated mower or a combination of tractor and implement, performing an operations inventory can help narrow the field." Recommends factors to consider for purchasing, tractors, large riding mowers, and zero turning radius mowers. Emphasizes the importance of communication among equipment operators on personal preferences.
