      I think people think more.of what they can't do or what they dont have to start. Nothing will start perfectly! Focus on your skills and what you do have to offer people. Everyone is unique in their own way! Just do it, because you can!

    the whole things well thought out, cept you mentioned rainsg the basket up to tuck the front mower wheels under, but it fits just fine and loads up super fast and easy, WELL DONE

    Very nice setup. I am seriously considering doing this with my truck. I am tired of pulling a trailer AND trailer maintenance. It would mean only carrying one mower at a time but, it’d be worth it. I’m solo anyway.

    Did you guys build this yourself? Actually thinking of doing this to my 2005 dodge ram 1500 quad cab.. figured I can do my measurements and what not when I take the bed off to replace the fuel pump.

    Hello Jonathan, I know you don't have this truck anymore. I do have an 02 Ranger 4.0 4x4. I want to haul around a 36" stand on. My question is how did your Ranger handle the weight of the payload? Any Trans problems, shocks bottom out etc.?

    I saw your other video about this same truck and loved it. Saw this one and loved it more! I am a minimalist by nature, and hope to be doing my lawn trailer setup video soon. I would love to have a truck with a dovetail body like that, but I collect 2-4 yards of grass and shrub trimmings daily, thus, am forced to use a trailer/pickup setup. Awesome vid!

    Hi Jonathan. Are you charging $50 a cut all year and if so how many cuts a year? In Tampa the average is $30 a cut for a standard lot and that is 42 cuts a year. Thank you for your content.

    @sammyforge4290 3 роки тому

    I was just wondering if you have the blueprints for the truck layout? I plan on doing this for my lawn care business next year and needed something that will set my business apart. I think having a truck like that was set me apart, open up doors and invite new customers by showing them I'm serious and what I do.

  • @kingzach5000
    @kingzach5000 7 років тому

    Discharge blocker on mower? If not how is clean up of clippings? I have a scag 36 stander with the mulch plate and it's great. before the plate, clean up on some yards took to much time. I would like to hear your opinion on that

    • @FloridaTurfPros
      @FloridaTurfPros  7 років тому

      fact seekers having the discharge chute on the mower causes more clippings to clump when it's wet, so we just take it off, and it does a lot better job dispersing the grass evenly.

    • @FloridaTurfPros
      @FloridaTurfPros  7 років тому

      Ken Boxx everything is 1/4 to 1/2 acre... 36" works perfect. I have 1 one acre property, and 1 two acre property. 36" is TERRIBLE for those yards. I will be letting both those yards go at the end of this year.

    I know you talked about that storage box being to low on another video but it wouldn't be hard to take a cutting wheel to it and re weld and raise it up another 6-8 inches. Just looks like wasted space.

    What about if your customer wants some brush hauled off or some bushes trimmed and you need to haul that stuff away? Lost revenue when already on a property. What about tools to repair something that breaks? Or spare parts? Nothing Like being 20 miles from home and not have what you need. That’s the only downfall I see with this setup.

    What is a stick edger? What happens if the mower breaks and goes in the shop for 3 weeks? Or 1 week? Or 3 days? Who removed all the sheet metal from the truck and put the cage in? He raised the foot stand of the mower before loading it up. Do you unload it the same way? A machine that big doesn't need to be moving downward at me. It has brakes, right? $50 per yard? Not in MY state! That yard on the corner looked pretty big, but it still wouldn't bring $50 for me. $40-45 at most. 15 yards without moving the truck? That's a joke, right? I think you're exaggerating. What's the advantage of taking on a helper if you have to split the cash? Are you paying him less than $25 per yard and taking a cut of his half? Is the inability to come up with the cash to invest in trucks and equipment the only thing keeping him from starting his own business and keeping the whole $50? That is true dedication to productivity when you won't even turn off the blower before starting up the camera.
