MOWER COST VS. COST OF OWNERSHIP
Confusing the two could be expensive.
The purchase price of a new mower is not what it will ultimately cost over its useful life. That's why an Exmark® may well prove to be the least expensive mower you'll ever own. Because every Exmark mower is built to last. They're low-maintenance. And they're extremely productive. So, when you factor in reduced downtime, overall operating expense and resale value, Exmark mowers quickly become a wise business decision. Which explains why Exmark is the leading mower brand among landscape professionals.
As a landscape professional, the investment you make in original equipment doesn't impact your bottom line as much as other operational costs. As a matter of fact, with Exmark mowers' high performance and low maintenance, you'll be saving time and money in the long run.
Downtime, maintenance and labor account for 75% of mowing costs for landscape professionals.

* Two productivity ratings are shown: one at 100% and one at 80% efficiency. Many manufacturers use 100% efficiency ratings for sales purposes. Exmark believes an 80% efficiency rating is more representative of actual mowingconditions as it allows for turns and overlapping. |
Formulas for calculating acres per hour:
100% efficiency—MPH x width of cut ÷ 99 = acres per hour
80% efficiency—MPH x width of cut ÷ 124 = acres per hour |
