Buying a NEW Lawn Care Setup ► PRICE BREAKDOWN!

[@aaronandvicky7652]

Why test drive? Well… to know if the transmission shifts smoothly and to all the gears, to listen for any noise that you shouldn’t be hearing, make sure the suspension is ok, + 100 other reasons.

[@MinnesotaLawnandLandscape]

Question for you guys. When buying a half ton truck and putting a ramp rack on. Are you guys switching to a higher rated tire setup for the truck with the extra weight being put in the bed?

[@thomaslawnandlandscape]

I just bought a 2013 GMC 2500 paid 15k with 190k miles with CNG. I'm loving the CNG for my lawncare it's 1.40 a gallon and last as long as gas and the engine runs clean. I don't think I would go back to gas it still has gas if I want to use it but I try not to.

We have been using s10's for 16 years, i replaced the beds with ones i built simular to cityturff! I can tell you we have mowed over 300k mows! Bells and whistles do not make you money! I have never understood why someone would spend $100k and show up to mow a $45 lawn! I can spend $20k all in and mow 20 $45 a day! You can make this as hard as you want

[@mkgunter]

@D H we are moving Into 1/2 ton full size trucks, we have ran 36 standers from john deere for years now! I don't care what color your mower is, find a dealer that is on your team! 36 sanders work great! Echo 2620t trimmer and a echo blower! The Office is where the money's made

[@EuroYardService]

That paint and decal is ridiculous cheap! 😮

[@montaglawnz6287]

Do you have change color on registration?

[@elvinrivera5638]

With what mowers are you going to sub the Hondas when they run out, now that they are discontinued?

[@bizboomer]

Great videos as always! I don't understand why you have music competing with the narrative? It's not a commercial, right?

[@yodabomb2018]

Where did you get those racks for blower and weed wacker?

[@ricardovargas174]

Love the video! I have a maaco close by and have been wanting to get my truck painted but I want to know what kind of paint do you ugys ask for? They quoted me over $1,500 for paint so it'd be nice to know how to get it for $500.

[@Phuhcough]

Yeah I’ve been getting the same quotes

[@nryan9595]

Are you still putting door hangers out this time of year? It seems like they would be less effective since people already have their company set up for the season

[@Notmuchhutch]

Yes, we will likely keep putting them out all summer. My three reasons why…. 1. It gets very hot during the summer and some home owners will throw in the towel on doing it themselves. 2. Lots of other companies get behind during this time due to labor issues and large work loads. So it’s a great time to pick up clients that interested in switching. Especially when you do instant quotes and they are able to compare the price to their current provider. 3. In NC we have a lot of warm season lawns that have only just kicked off their growing season.

[@michaelwalker4905]

@@Notmuchhutch put out about 50 in the neighborhoods we do in the last 3 days and got 3 calls with 2 converted to biweekly and possibly one more (but somebody mowed her lawn like two hours after she called us and she says she's not sure who) lmao

[@johnhartin895]

What’s in the back of the truck a 36 and a push? 52 and 36?

[@vrezai]

Run 54" and a 30" (54" scag patriot) (30" pushmower) you'll be able to do most yards and for the small ones just use the 30"

[@slowrider30]

What city are you getting these painted in? The mako here wanted $1,200 and that's with us doing the body work and the sanding

[@Nephew075]

Hey what frame glasses do you have?

[@Pantera972]

What do you mean you're not driving it? That's not good enough. 😂😂

[@verdurelawncareservices6323]

My Honda hrn 216 just cost me 1,011.00 from our local dealer. A garbage bin like that with those rakes & shovels I’d be looking more in the high 3s , low 4s , I checked our macco to see what paint would cost they quote me almost 4,000.00 just to spray the exterior. I’d say up north they’re little harder on us with pricing. Lol

[@swiftswamp]

they did mention how they use those space places for multiple of their locations in that area, so they most likely get better pricing for bringing all of their business directly to them.

[@levideforest3177]

Im trying to start a small lawncare business. Just curious, where and how do you guys take your clippings from a job? Do you just put the clippings in the back of your trucks?

[@Notmuchhutch]

In our area we mulch the clippings. But many other locations take 3-4 50 gallon trash cans to collect clippings in then dispose of them like the rest of their green waste!

[@BonsaiBuckeye]

I'm not sure what area of the country you're in but if you're in the midwest or Northeast you should really convince your customers that mulching the lawn clippings back into the lawn is highly beneficial for their existing grass it provides a good layer of nitrogen during the vegetative breakdown cycle that grass desperately needs to support itself especially during the summer months. It is important that you convince your clients what is the best for their lawn regardless of what they may consider aesthetically pleasing. You shouldn't be removing clippings from any job site unless it is an attempt to prevent seed germination..

[@robinsonguevara566]

Why hasn’t Mike open a shop in Washington, DC?

[@76bsktbllplayer]

Awesome video love it! Curious the cost of the ramp rack of $4.6k did that include the green touch racks i assume,

[@andrewzimmerofficial]

Probably not

[@PM_Doug]

I love my Honda over for personal use. I have the HRX and she is great

[@waylonratcliffe]

This is called economy of scale! They do so much business with there vendors they get great deals, and vendors prioritize getting it quickly. I love the move fast mindset but for me working with a $7700 budget to get a truck, ramp, paint and decals I’ve have to do a lot of work finding the right deals. It will pay off in the future when I start to build similar relationships. Great video!

[@christopheraltic6717]

No major repairs. How long have you had your oldest truck?

[@MikeAndes]

At this location, 2.5 years

[@Losdelplatanal]

Do you have a franchise on Ohio??

[@Manc-king]

I’m a painter and I can honestly say I don’t know how they do it for that price labour and materials they can’t be making anything on that

[@michaelfoell]

You know everyone is different Man... I totally agree it's not fair to charge that particular customer... Although it sucks it's really one of 2 decisions if you want to continue to deal with the struggle of that situation keep it... Me personally if I had other options or customers o could replace that revenue with I'd go elsewhere... Trust your Gut Bro... Keep up the good work man... hope you figure it out... ✌️

[@2Years2Farm]

I’m highly considering joining you guys! Is there a population limit? I’m in a town of 65k.

[@amvespinosa]

Paint for $500 maaco tried charging me about $17-$18. And my little brother charged me about $1200

[@Tropicalfrooploops]

Former police officer making ill advised decisions on the fly? Who would have guessed, you’re hired Haha, jk like the video

[@traynham]

for some reason not @ all surprised chuck used to be a cop 😂

[@Enzo87325]

500 like 👍 right here !

[@jvick953]

Door hangers would work for me if I just said im not making profit, and then next year, raise them up 50% 😵‍💫

[@beerussama7093]

$13k for a somewhat new truck? You time travel for those prices?

[@bikes7777]

All that weight in the bed will kill a v6 truck. And Ford has tons of problems. Should stick with 1 brand to ease maintenance.

[@maxgreenlawncarellc3678]

Him buying a truck without checking it out such as driving, have a mechanic take a look at it, is a gamble!

[@Notmuchhutch]

It was all fun and games till the new mower blew a hydro hose at 0.9 hours 😢

[@MikeAndes]

🤣🤣🤣🙃

[@Augustalawncareofreddeer]

Maccooo

[@marcusvalencia1963]

It's important to take note for future franchise owners that their business model only allows for profit when buying the cheapest trucks and tools available. Landscaping is a long term game, and when you want to have quality workers that will give you peace of mind they will not stick around with a residential mower or trucks that might not start. This is ok for no experience no expectation start offs but at some point you need to step it up or keep competing on the $25 mow only jobs.

[@Phuhcough]

$9,000 mower and $13,500 truck isn’t the cheapest. It is however the most economical sense

[@fredrickscott6977]

A full and his money are easily parted .

[@mackeejack6731]

I bet you felt real cool saying “it’s our 9th one this year” she didn’t ask bozo

[@youdontknowmyname6956]

Lol Dude said he'll sell a $1,000+ cap for a weedwacker. Wtf is he smoking. At least get a blower too, damnn.

[@maxgreenlawncarellc3678]

The point of this blog is putting down the hater, “turd and wonderland”. At the end of the day guess what? You working for someone! There’s no need to brag or make fun and turn down other bloggers on KZbin. You do you and follow cooperate rules or policy. We all in the same field but different concepts or needs.

[@maxgreenlawncarellc3678]

Your GM, should get a yellow card! Lol

[@automotiveaffiliation1207]

I could have sworn y’all didn’t have enough for payroll recently.. idk if you should be doing this. I’ve never had to stress about payroll for my company, and I didn’t have a franchise to start with… good luck though and keep up the hustle.

[@michaelperry4398]

No landscaper is talking about black out, or sound system, we're talking dump truck, what the heck you gonna due with a f150, no bagging? Are you only mowing? We're does the million yards of spring clean up debris go?, We're to you put the hundreds of yards of mulch? What about all the leaves in the fall? How do you plow with this piece of shat your buying

[@scottc6812]

Getting a 2nd truck with only 70 accounts 🤦 250 in a 10 mile circle...then and only then you can get another truck. Each crew should turn 200k in profit... That profit after fuel taxes payroll.. that's just grass.
