That was a great breakdown for your fall season equipment Shawn. I truly appreciate how you & TQ take everything into consideration (costs,materials,labor,etc.) I’m looking forward to the fall season,& how much y’all progress from last year. Enjoy your Sunday,& have a safe,productive week.💯❤️👍🏾😀🙋🏽♀️✝️🙏🏾🇺🇸

Thanks we are definitely ready for the season change
Great tip to get started early! I saw the shortages and decided to start building the same setup right now. Just picked up a 7x14 dump yesterday (8/15). You guys are a huge inspiration to those of us trying to get off the ground! Blessings from out in Utah!

i didnt realise the cost would be that high but it is wel worth it . especially if you can pay for it in 2 seasons. not sure you can include the whole trailer cost in there. it can be used for all sorts of other work from stone and mulch jobs to winter and spring clean ups etc. its return on investment is a lot sooner than just using leaf clean up money to pay for it. your right about the aluminium sides. they will outlast the trailer . wood would be cheaper but you would be repairing and replacing bits of it every year and it wouldnt look at profetional when it starts to rot . you should get a small wood chipper that you can mount at the back and can feed in branchs and small debris . you would fit a lot more in the trailer that way and only have to go to the dump with it a lot less

You do have an amazing leaf loader set up. Combine that with the Toro 6000 with it's power bagger and ExMark LazerZ if you add a power bagger to it no leaf within 50 miles is safe. You can also use those machines to offer dethatching.
@SpencerLawnCare3 жыл бұрын
Oh yeah we hope to start offering that service
@dualactionsurgilator3 жыл бұрын
@@SpencerLawnCareYou have 2 perfect machines to do it. It is easy to do with a zero turn that has a remote dump bagger and the Billy goat can take it from there. Those spring clean-ups can add alot to your business. The dethatching also helps tremendously with the health of the lawn.

Some thing I am considering that you might also is… Not sure if this would be beneficial for you, but my business is primarily planting gardens and pollinator gardens and Meadows, etc… but I think you should take all of the leaves and pile them up and compost them, then sell the leaf mold back to customers or use on installation jobs. composted leaves are top notch compost just my two cents

Good evening Mr. Spencer, this is a little off topic, but, I am 17yo and was looking forward to the demo area at GIE expo this year!!! But..... I do not have my licence yet (parent rule) and I saw when I purchased the tickets that you have to have a valid licence in order to enter the demo area; which is frustrating 'cause I have logged many hours on a zero turn. Do you find that they adhere to that or is it overlooked? Any info that anyone can provide would be appreciated!!!! Thanks!!!!

Only thing that I would have done different. Was the way you mounted the leave vac on? I would have had something mounted in the front. A tray because when you dump The trailer, the oil and the gas move around. That's why I would've made a tray up over the box. Where the back is stationary? It is not going to go anywhere. That's the only thing I would have done different. I had a 14 foot trailer by 5 and I had it mounted in the front. Never had a problem with the vac, and it worked fantastic.
