    2020 and still the best truck i've ever seen man. I'm modeling my whole truck off of that Ranger friend, the gate specifically. Keep after it.

    George-Really impressed by the thought you guys put into this truck. Efficiency is the name of the game, and you guys are proving that bigger isn't always better. Would really like to pick your brain about starting a new lawn service in San Antonio TX.

      If you where a new start up in 2016, what would your setup look like if you where limited to a truck (08 Chevy Colorado) pulling a small enclosed trailer and $20,000 (willing to increase) for equipment and expenses?

    What size mower are you able to fit into the bed of the truck?

    • @GPackard

      up to 42" in ours

    Green Touch racks are really nice. They are worth every penny!

    • @GPackard
      @GPackard  10 років тому

      We really like them, i think there a lot easier on the equipment , plus the equipment doesn't flip upside down, thus it doesn't flood out, like other racks. hence, less pulls to get started ! not to mention the easy lock up ability.

    Are you still using this smaller ford ranger truck and how many workers do you send out in it(would two workers be profitable in this smaller truck)?

    • @GPackard
      @GPackard  6 років тому

      yes and two is efficient

  • @kyleclifford9045
    @kyleclifford9045 9 років тому

    I gotta say that is a nice custom design ya got there. Question is where do you put your debris? Im assuming you dont put a trailer on the back otherwise you couldnt really get your mower out. Do you dump on site?

    • @GPackard
      @GPackard  9 років тому

      we pile it up by the road. we don't have to haul anything away.

  • @enginemodify
    @enginemodify 9 років тому

    This setup is great man, I sometimes see guys with a huge truck the whole summer and all they are carrying is a chopper and a few handhelds. Huge waste of fuel. That ranger is easier to park too

    • @GPackard
      @GPackard  9 років тому

  • @PrimoLandscaping

    I was inspired by your ramps George and had some built for one of my trucks. It's great to zip around without a trailer.

    • @brucec43
      @brucec43 9 років тому

      +G Packard I spent a few years going with a HD truck with a steel full width ramp that mounted to the trailer hitch and was supported by the tailgate in the down position. Worked great. Only negative was load/unload time took an extra minute or so. Plus of course you were limited to one primary mower and one trim mower. Felt safer and easier to maneuver in tight areas. A HD truck with an 8' bed provides a little more floor space and has the capacity to maneuver safety with the load on. You could put two stand-ons on that or one ZTR and one stand-on or 21".

  • @stevec9531
    @stevec9531 9 років тому

    I have been using a similar setup for years. I have a Ranger and put racks on it. I just use 2 Toro 21's and go after small lawns. I use a couple of fold up ramps, have room for a backpack blower also. He is correct, once you use this setup you will never go back to a big truck and trailer. Gas has become a non issue now. The one galon tank on the Toro will mow a ton of lawns. At most I put in about 10 dollars a day between mowers and truck, I can easily get 10 or so $35 dollars lawns a day done with this setup by myself. It is so much easier getting in and out of neiborhoods and through traffic. At the end of the day I just pull in to my garage and its ready for the next day. I am surprised more guys don't do it.

    I like the idea, but what do you do with clipping, debris, leaves, etc..? I know I fill up my truck everyday..

    • @GPackard
      @GPackard  10 років тому +1

      If we have to haul any debris away, we charge them for this, and we'll send a bigger truck if needed, or just put it in this one and come back for the mower later, remember, were charging them for this. but usually, 99%n of the time we put debris in there containers which are then hauled to the road for waste management to pick up. or in a pile by the road , which they will pick up also. hope this helps.

  • @drewlucchina9584
    @drewlucchina9584 7 років тому

    awsome setup, ive owned 4 rangers over the years and they have all made it around 200000 miles. The service parts are cheap and the 4 liter v6 is easy to work on because they have the plugs on the outside of the cylinder heads, iron block helps too

  • @erikkkkkkk914
    @erikkkkkkk914 9 років тому

    ANother question George. Did you have to modify the fuel filler on the ranger? My rangers fuel filler neck runs inside the bed a bit so the welder will have to build a small box around it. Does that make sense??

    New to your videos. Love them so far. Could you make an in depth video on exactly how you set up the ranger? As in all the steps, costs, where to buy the stuff and where to get it installed. What im most interested in is how you custom made the bed with the gate. Im 18 and am planning to explan my lawn business that ive had since i was 15 so im really looking for ways to be efficient and the way i see your set up is EXCELLENT! Thanks a lot.

      your best bet is to find a local welder in your neighborhood and talk with them. there has to be someone who can do this for you. worst case, if you can't find anyone, i could hook you up with a guy from my town in Antigo Wi. ?

    Have you had any issues with the extra payload on the Ranger, regarding brakes, suspension, etc? Our trailers guys are so reluctant to do this to our F-150. Either way, I am very impressed with your set up. Great job!

    • @GPackard
      @GPackard  9 років тому

      are you kidding ? we love our new set ups ! your trailer guys ? seems to me they want to sell you trailers ? Our guy's actually prefer the Ranger Over the Dodge . Just make sure you add a a couple of Leaf spring or heavy duty shocks to it. sure it seems a little heave but I will never go back to a trailer ! and you won't either, I promise !

    • @gregorywandersaround6178
      @gregorywandersaround6178 9 років тому

      G Packard Thanks George. I am in the process of looking for a used ranger. Wasn't sure if I should go with the 4 or 6. I will look for the 4. I got a quote on a similar bed for $2000. Unfortunatley I only have enough money for a late 90's early 2000's model with some miles. But if it gets me through 1 season, I'll be happy. It will just make things so much easier.

    Hi George, I have a Ford Ranger that I work from. I have already been toying w the idea of going w a flatbed for our business. I am wondering about the bed itself. Is it custom or did you purchase it from a dealer?

    how much were the advertising wraps on the front of your Ford Rangers?

    • @GPackard
      @GPackard  8 років тому

      around $1300 for the whole truck

    Nice hopefully I can figure out how you made that fold down gate because it would really help.

    • @alexsantiago5285

      Martin Garcia hi Im not sure if you built your fold down gate. I had one built for my dodge Dakota truck its great I kept the same bed And hooked all my equipment in it.

    So organized. I used to do landscaping and I wish the owner of that company was as thoughtful as you. He's a good guy, but no where near as organized and comfort-driven. I may have stayed in landscaping if I was working with you.

      G Packard Ive had a desk job for a few years now; I'm sure I'd be fat and worthless! If I move back to Florida I'll fill out an application after I check with my doctor to see if I'm healthy enough for physical activity. ;) Keep up the nice work. Awesome trucks.

    I noticed for the backpack blowers, u use the echo pb 265. How come yall don't use the bigger models like the 770 or 755 or the 500. Im just wondering if that's ok

    • @GPackard
      @GPackard  9 років тому

      I know guys are going to say we should use the bigger ones, but the reason we use them is 1. there way cheaper, use less fuel, and are lighter than the big ones, easier to maneuver around, and get on and off your back and back on the truck.By the way lawnchaser, i'm always happy to answer your questions man !

    • @lawnchaser
      @lawnchaser 9 років тому

      G Packard oh ok. the reason why I use an echo pb770t is because of its performance and that it can blow a larger volume of leaves. and because of that, I get done in a shorter amount of time and am able to move on to the next job. It has definitely made me tons of money over the years of using them. Its also really good on fuel too. And it also has a vent on the backrest that actually blows cool air up through your back . That's just my reason why I go with them.
      But yeah, I can definitely see why you all go with them. Makes a lot of sense

    • @GPackard
      @GPackard  9 років тому

      also, our guys tend to beat the crap out of them. Its not bad when your in the truck, but if your not, they don't care about your shit. I bet the cool air helps, i can see that.

    Nice video. My question is what do you suggest if your property makeup requires more than one size mower? I currently run a wright 48in and carry a 36in as well. I live in Georgia were the property sizes vary.

    • @brucec43
      @brucec43 9 років тому

      +Josiah Thornton 36" wb's are some of the longest mowers around, I found that I didn't use it as much as I thought. There are some alternate shorter mowers around, but eventually I dropped gated back yards where a 48" could not fit or had them agree to let me widen the gate.

    • @loveandloyaltyempire
      @loveandloyaltyempire 8 років тому

      +Josiah Thornton I have the same issue, i just group my yards with the smaller mower on the same days and just carry it.

    I guess now days they call them colorados or something like that. I just call me s10, but I prefer Chevy over ford. Grew up working on Chevrolet.
    Fords are good to I guess.
    What do you think about incorporating a box for clipping collection on there?
    Maybe it could ride behind gate and open to side on hinges? Idk just a thought. Always nice be able to bag and carry off sticks that fall out of trees.
