I totally agree. The more time you can cut out of the job, the more money you "make" or save. This will enable you to grow when the time is right.
With the maintenance agreements you will find you are making out. With that many lawns, there is always maintenance and repairs to do. Always have back up equipment if you can afford it so that you are not "out of business" if your regular equipment is in the shop.
The next best thing to a maintenance agreement, which is hard to beat, is to know small engines well enough to do your own repairs.
