In addition to hitting the wall with mowing time, you also run into monetary problem. With each lawnmower you add your mowing cost increases substantially. It might take you 60 minutes to mow the lawn, but you already own the push mower and the riding mower...how much do you have to pay the 2-40 kids who are going to help?
