In this episode of Turf Nerds: A Lawn Care Podcast, Smokin’ Joe Dunbar (Smokin’ Joe’s Lawn Care) joins From the Field to talk real-world lawn care at full throttle: 128 lawns a week, seven days straight, and zero excuses. Joe breaks down why he’s moving from Cub Cadet to Hustler, how 72" decks change the game, and the little details—flip-edging everything, hand-pulling around AC lines—that win customers for life. He shares the factory-to-founder leap, mowing through a broken hand, pricing that actually pays ($100/hr minimums and $600 cuts), the pros/cons of carb vs EFI, battery hand tools vs gas, dealer relationships that keep him rolling, and the simple budgeting system that lets him take winters off. If you love gear talk, business truth, and blue-collar grit, this one’s for you.
