Pelican is an unknown quantity at this point
In my area lawn care is not real profitable, there are so many doing it moonlighting. I have a 3 man crew running just the same because I had already made the investment in equipment before the onslaught of overnight landscapers appeared. It is a pretty good marketing tool though, my lettered truck is in the same neighborhood once a week and I get a lot of other work from that. Many new client calls start with "We saw your truck.....".

Check your market and see if the income is available to justify the investment.
