- Well it's been a month or so since I put out a video. I have been very busy with the start up to my lawn season. This video I will be explaining what I have gone through to get to the point of actually using the van for lawn care. I am not done with it. Still coming up with new idea's, what to add, what to modify. Sit back and enjoy my video. Thank you everyone for all your support. If you haven't already, please subscribe to my channel. Thank you!

Good morning, Mike! With the prices of USED vehicles as high as they are, you are WELL AHEAD of the game, even with the money you've put into the van. As long as you're happy with it and as long as it does what you need it to do, it's a win! Good to see you back here. Being busy is a GOOD thing! Work and home come first, then youtube. Stay happy, Brother!
Yes, you are right. This van new is 90K Canadian. With average mileage, it would of cost about 50 to 60K. Fixing everything, major components, I am maybe close to 30K in, cost of van and repairs. Yes I am ahead still and have a nice 5 year old van. I am so happy using it. So efficient on diesel, easy to get around and park. Thanks Lou, have a great rest of the week!
@@MBGAdventures You too, Mike and if the weekend is nice, get out on two wheels!🏍 👍
Love the Van. I have a Sprinter since new. It's 2004. No dpf or complicated electrics. I put the kubota gr1600 inside. Two small aluminium ramps. Push Mower sits on ramps and Strimmer on the side. I use the van for deliverys also. So everything comes out and I can move houses offices then back to grass cutting next day. Got to keep busy on wet days. God bless best of luck. Live the wrap.
Thank you! Yes, these vans are handy to have. I am the same, use the van for other things too. All the best to you!
That is freaking awesome. i can't believe how much room you have in there.
I know right. I modified the ramp today. It does not lean on mower anymore. Stands up and is secure with doors closed. Always updating this set up. Thanks for watching!
Glad to see you again. Hopefully done fixing and make lots of money. Take care and Thanks
Just one more issue to fix but other than that, all major work done and safe to use. Thanks Wayne!
Love the sprinter vans, only have to fix most of the stuff once and you will be good for quit awhile. Looking forward to seeing more on your project as you go along.
It's not a Sprinter Van lol. There is a difference. This is a Ford Transit. I am making this van my own and yes, fixing major components and thus van is loke new again. Thanks Mark!
Hello Mike.
I enjoyed like always your Video and you got the Van all fixed up ,
spend a lot of money
and I hope and wish , you will enjoy you Van now.
All the best and good luck for the Season.
Have a wonderful day !!
Thanks Mom!
The vans looking awesome 👍🏻. Great minds think alike. I to have been thinking about the van setup for a few years. And by the looks of it the 52 would totally fit 👍🏻👊🏻
Yes, a 52 will fit in between the wheel wells on this transit not sure with other brands. The van set up is so efficient. Not cheap to buy them especially if you get a diesel like mine. Thanks Mike.
How cool is this✔️💯💪🏽
Thanks so much!
The Busch Green Van returns!!
Can't wait to use it this weekend ☺️
Ha ha, this weekend converted to the band tour van brought to you by BUSCH GREEN!
Nice. Wow love it. Wish i could find pic of my old 01 van you would like it. Its funny we realy do think alike.. that cool. Glade you wereable to fix the van. Congrates on 1k also
Hey Carlo, thanks so much. I am not done with this van by far. Since the video I have made improvements already. Once its all done and pretty much final, I will do a set up video. Great minds think alike.
Great setup! absolutely brilliant
Thank you! It works well and still improving as I go. I have an updated van set up video a few videos ago. Check that out if you want. Thanks for watching!
Glad you were able to take the time to update us on the van series. I was looking for Justin... Glad he was mentioned though 😊 hes the official side kick of the van series
Enjoy!
Ha ha, Justin is too busy for me now. He has built an empire! I still think he was hiding somewhere around my place while I was making this video lol. Thanks Craig!
I know you've been busy. I really like your logo on the van it looks really sharp. I can't remember the last time I had ac which I am getting older and gonna need it. Wow thank God it's not a gas van. Oh man sorry you had to inhale those fumes, but glad you got that fixed. My God he is a numb nut zip tying 2 injectors that is nuts. Wow $2800 and 10 hours labor. I don't blame you for wanting to use the van. I like the vent visors. Your right the van looks new and things need to be replaced. Good idea with the black foam. I like the idea with the wood so nothing moves. I might do that for my tractor in my truck. Loving that wood ramp easy access. That is a good idea with the wood so the ramp doesn't lean on the mower. That is awesome getting your lawns done quicker. The vent is also a good idea. I got to say that is a nice setup and you do have great ideas Mike.. I'm gonna give you a super thanks cause you gave me an idea for my truck.
Thanks so much Bill. I am loving using the van set up all week. I have new ideas already to modify it. Byvthe end of the season there will be changes for the better. As u use it, new ideas come. Glad that I gave you an idea. Have a great weekend!
@@MBGAdventures Your very welcome Mike. The ideas you have are awesome and I do like that setup. Oh I know you have ideas. I had to laugh when you said your thinking of something while your on the toilet cause I do that too. I guess we think better on the thrown 😂I can't wait to see the new changes. Yes thank you for the idea. You have a great weekend also brother.
@@wildbillslawncare5901 Some of the greatest inventions were created while sitting on the toilet lol. Have a great weekend bro!
@@MBGAdventures I'm sure that is very true I know I can think clearly on the toilet 🤣 You have a great weekend too brother.
It’s looking great Mike. To bad the guy was not honest.
I will be sending him a message soon to make sure he sleeps well at night. What an ass. Who the hell zip ties injectors? My buddy Steve could not believe it when he seen it. Also, the guy I bought it off of is a retired mechanic lol. Anyways, moving forward, I love this van. So happy I have it running smooth and efficient now. Thanks Doug!
awesome Mike!
Thanks David!
I really like that set up Mike it makes sure you not collecting grass as much. I feel for you why can't people just say what is wrong with some thing. Great video!!!
Thanks Rick. I will be working on this all season to perfect the inside. I have room in the van for bins of grass when I need to collect. That is not a problem. There are so many dishonest people in the world. I would not sell some like this and lye. I would not be able to sleep at night. Well that is just me.
@@MBGAdventures like wise i completely agree
Love it!
Thanks man!
Thanks!
OMG Bill, you don't have to do that. Seriously, no one has to do that. You have a heart of gold. Thank you so much!
@@MBGAdventures I know I don't have to do that I just like doing it to support the channel and you did give me a good idea. Oh thank you Mike and I know you are a good hearted person that's for sure. Your very welcome buddy.
Nice set up buddy .I just hate crappy tire lol.
Thanks Mike. Never take your vehicle to CT service center.
Nice
Thank you! I will do a updated set up video soon on the van. Ramp is still solid and working great!
Looks like you got everything sorted out pretty much 👍I wish I had time to finish my mow and go setup. I haven't been able to get in touch with the guy that is making my ramp. Not sure if he's sick or what but, it's been months 🤷
I think I have the main issues solved. Ran the van all week and it's running great. No engine lights only the knock coming from the right front. Prob the strut. My buddy, mechanic said it's safe to drive right now. Will get that repaired soon. This is a basic set up right now. I am still working on the little things inside when I have time. Its good now to use and work with. That is too bad that you are delayed now too with your Mow and Go. Trust me, I know the feeling of having a vehicle, feeling anxious to use it and can't for months. When that times comes that you can use, you feel like a kid in a candy store. Thanks for watching Jason and Christina!
If I’m not hauling debris, plants or a skid steer I don’t want to haul a trailer. The biggest reason is parking. Especially in parking lots at lunchtime. I used vans for a while but switched to trucks with ramps. The commercial crew had to run with a trailer because of mower sizes. The guys liked it as well because not many people can back a trailer up it’s just something else tho have to be aware of while driving.
I am still running my truck and trailer for large properties. Most of mine are cookie cutter and the van set up totally makes sense for me. So easy to get around. Thanks for watching!
How wide of a stand on mower can you fit between the wheel wells of your van? I run on 52” standon mowers and want to know if a van setup would be possible for me?…
Hey, YES, the 52 will fit with the Ford Transit I have. I believe it is 54 inch between the wheel wells. That is awesome. More people should look into a van set up if they can afford it. It is so efficient. I have a newer van lawn care set up video that I just put out. Go check that out, little bit more in that video. Thanks for watching!
Nice setup! Is it possible to put a 48 or 52 in there?
Thank you. Yes, with this ford transit 350 you can fit a 52 inch between the wheel wells.
