How to Find Great Deals On Lawn Equipment This Time of Year – Smart End Of Season Investing

Late-season slowdowns are common in the small engine repair business—but that doesn’t mean your profit has to stop In this video, I share one of my favorite strategies for turning seasonal lulls into profitable opportunities: investing in discounted lawn equipment from local home improvement stores. By reaching out to big box stores like Lowe’s, Home Depot, Menards, or regional chains, you can score closeout mowers, trimmers, blowers, and more—often at 50–75% off. These aren't just cheap buys—they’re business-building assets. Instead of letting your money sit idle, this episode shows how to use it strategically: Grab equipment now at deep discounts Fix or refurbish them during slow shop hours Resell at peak season for full value or use for parts It’s a way to turn off-season downtime into future cashflow and profit, all while keeping your skills sharp and your shop active. What You’ll Learn: When to call your local stores & what to say Why this method works best at the end of summer How I’ve bought zero-turns, push mowers, and more for pennies on the dollar How this practice keeps your income steady even when repairs slow down If you’re serious about growing your small engine repair business year round, this strategy is a game changer.
