In this week's video you will see my van set up and what I carry in the van on a typical mowing day.
plus also you will see a new clients lawn which has a lot of leaf damage on it.

You’ve been inspiration for my van build. Lol, these guys in the US, just can’t grasp the whole Van idea. They like them big showy fancy trucks and trailers.

[@TheLawnGuy]

Great to hear. I'm glad it helped

[@bigsonslawncare]

Awesome love the trailer less setups ✔️💯💪🏽

[@TheLawnGuy]

Hey thanks And thanks for watching!😎

[@hoehoehoegardeningservices306]

Looks great Dave, I so need to sort out some racking for my van 🙂

[@TheLawnGuy]

Thanks Certainly make like easier

[@wayneessar7489]

Very enjoyable!

[@TheLawnGuy]

Thanks Wayne 😊

[@cosworthization]

Looks a great van setup for your gardening business. Happy New Year.

[@TheLawnGuy]

Thanks, I'm going to put the rakes up on the ceiling for this year. Should make life even easier

[@scottellwoodgardening287]

Good video Dave. You’re right at the end about the time filming takes. It can get very time consuming.

[@carlmarquardt994]

Sweet set up

[@TheLawnGuy]

Thanks Carl

Been in the business for 30 years and still plenty to learn,but at my age, speed is not one of them. Been there,seen it, done it!😂

[@starman1969]

Well done on having a still complete socket set after 10 years. Mine would be missing bits after a week!

[@TheLawnGuy]

🤣🤣 Thank you!

[@mr.tidygarden]

Great Set up Dave👌 I have the same Lidl rachet set very handy. New subscriber. Damien garden maintenance channel from Ireland👌

[@TheLawnGuy]

Thanks Damien And thanks for the sub, too.

[@vincentsgardens870]

Nice to see the Toro in action

[@karlitobergkamp8082]

I’ve just returned my ego. Literally nothing but hassle with the rapid charger or 5.0 ah batteries not charging or running out after two passes on a tiny lawn. I was really excited to get the ego but after the issues straight out the box I’ll be waiting a bit longer for a stihl battery mower that’s affordable.

[@TheLawnGuy]

Thanks for watching From what I hear, ego is pretty good with returns. They just replace stuff with new, I don't really use the mower a great deal, so I have no problems yet.

[@sjhgardensolutions]

Nice van setup mate

Thanks Simon 😎

[@TheHitman180]

I need a bigger van and when I do get a bigger van it won't be long until I'd need a bigger one again 🤣

[@TheLawnGuy]

You can never have a big enough van, garage, lock up, warehouse, you name it. Lol The bigger the space the more you accumulate.

[@eggie555golf]

Nice setup Dave only thing I’d do slightly different is move the rake to the roof,I have 3 tools on my roof as I saw it as wasted space 😉

[@TheLawnGuy]

So it can comb my hair every time I get in and out, lol 😉

[@JoeMcCole-wu3np]

Great work. You put a huge amount of thought into everything you do! I'm about to purchase a used Timemaster. Any advice on maintaining them? Pros and cons? Thanks Joe

[@TheLawnGuy]

Thanks Joe My 1st time master was 2nd hand, and I've had it for about 6 years now, Nothing too major to worry about obviously belts and cables need replacing But all quite simple and easy to find on eBay.

[@JoeMcCole-wu3np]

I got a used Timemaster! Had it serviced. Going well so far. Game changer! 😀

[@AndrewJames8321JP]

Another good video Dave. When you make up your iron how long do you have until you would no longer use? I like your video which you made up iron and transferred into the 20litre tubs with your stocking tip. I was just thinking if I made some up in the weekend it could save time during the week or does the iron deplete/ become less effective? Have a good easter weekend, Cheers 👍.

[@TheLawnGuy]

Thanks Andrew, I'm sure the suppliers will tell you there's a used by date. But I haven't found it yet, and I'm talking months.

[@andrewandvictoriadarnell9467]

Great work mate, I'll have to come down so you can rack out my van too😂

[@TheLawnGuy]

I just have to work out where to put your sprayer, you're gifting me!! 😉lol

Hi nice job 👍van set up pretty good it’s so hard how to get things in place probably 👍how many more just did you do this day 👍

[@TheLawnGuy]

"There's a place for everything" as the saying goes. 3 more after that one totalling just over 2500m2

[@stutayls]

I wish I saw this 6 weeks ago

[@vincentsgardens870]

Enjoyed the video it as inspired me to sort out my van lol ,also I've bin considering a Toro time master how have you found them are they any good in wet habe you had any experience multching with them ?

[@TheLawnGuy]

Thanks, Vincent, I usually mulch when use the timemaster I've never been a fan of its bagging in the wet, but toro have now changed the blades to make them a little more high lift yet to fine out if its any better.

[@vincentsgardens870]

@@TheLawnGuy brilliant that's what I've bin considering one for multching purposes hey Wen you get chance could you do a video of it multching ,so in your opinion it can handle wet grass when multching must be a breeze in the dry

[@vincentsgardens870]

@@TheLawnGuy thanks very much so effective machine multching both dry and damp conditions but not really there with the bagging also I'm am going to do some shelf's /racking in me van like you thanks for the inspiration have a good day

[@zzeezz100]

Hi Dave how long do you get out of 1 battery in strimmer in total?

[@TheLawnGuy]

To be honest, I'm not entirely sure. I borrowed the Strimmer & blower from a friend and it came with 2X ap200 & 2X ap300 and I soon realised I was one extra battery or one extra charge on a battery away from getting through the day. But that would only be basic edging and blowing clippings, etc, off patio / paths. It must have impressed me because because I went out and bought the equipment. Only down side is that the batterys won't charge if it's about 5ﾟor lower. I noticed the ego batteries are about 1.5ﾟ.

[@DJC995]

If it helps I have the same combi motor last year was using for all the strimming work about 30 to 45 mins run time flat out

[@RichardBaillie-fo9jn]

Hello mate how well does the time master work in the wet?

[@TheLawnGuy]

Hey Richard I've never been a fan of its bagging ability in the wet. But Toro have recently changed the blades on them to make more high lift, I'm yet to really test it out.

[@RichardBaillie-fo9jn]

@@TheLawnGuy thanks for getting back to me would be great if you could let me know how it is in the wet. The weibangs I use have high lift blades and it makes a massive difference to collecting wet grass

[@treecutter1806]

Broken many windows?

[@TheLawnGuy]

?? A couple, over a 28-year period.

[@rodpatterson3751]

What do you do with the lawn clippings?

[@TheLawnGuy]

Hi Rod, This only applies to regular mowing. If a new client doesn't have a compost area, then i either quote them to build one or suggest a garden waste wheelie bin. In 10 years, I've only ever had one person pass on my service due to not removing waste,

[@rodpatterson3751]

@TheLawnGuy thanks for the reply, might be a little different here but we take the majority of grass clippings away and dump at a green waste recycling centre.

[@TheLawnGuy]

@@rodpatterson3751 No worries, where are you?

[@rodpatterson3751]

@@TheLawnGuy Adelaide, Australia

[@TheLawnGuy]

@rodpatterson3751 Oh ok, yeah it's different here, it's very expensive to legally dump waste and not many places either, the knock effect has ment that illegal fly tipping has become a big problem with quiet country road being blocked due to Rogue traders going out late at night and tipping the van bed up while driving down quite roads.
