    I am wondering if anyone knows the correlation between hours on a mower compared to miles driven on a car? Seems like board and staff members understand miles better than hours. Any help is appreciated.

    This should help.

    Oops. I put them in the wrong order. Should be Hours vs. Mileage, Equipment Duty cycle, then Hours to Mileage.

    Bret, Did you get that information off of Toro's website? I think that would be helpful along with the USGA's numbers as well. The Toro information helps explain how we got to the miles number we got to and also shows how much harder that equipment works then a modern car.

    Thanks! Mel

    Mel,
    I've had that for years and I honestly don't remember where I got it. It might be something that Carl Osterhaus created for this exact situation. If you are unable to download the attachments, I'd be happy to send them to you.
