You're also on ******** but according to what you said on there you drive your tractor around the neighborhood?

I'm thinking the F350 isn't yours.

Got to disagree with you on this 1 there is no way a 15 year old can have all that equipment and go to school at the same time. Buying a lazer Z and selling it 3 weeks later sounds very fishy to me.

To tell you the truth I have seen that pic somewhere else.

Hey do you see the other z next to it. I'm not buying this either.

11-07-2005, 02:13 PM

Hmmmmn. Looks like a gravely next to it. Do you have a gravely?

Signature Landscaping1

11-07-2005, 04:30 PM

The truck is my uncles old truck he gave it to me for my b-day, i will be getting my permit soon and my father said i can drive to my accounts around the neiborhood. The Lazer Z is also Mine but the pic you see is from dealership i Bought it froms web site, Norfolk Power EQUIP. I have owned my biz for 4 years now. and i have worked my ass off. Over the summer i worked three jobs, working for Jerry McMillan Professional Tree Service 3 Days a week, working for Myterra Gardens 1 day a week and running my biz fri and sat of everery week. and i continue to work for Jerry McMillan Professional Tree Service every weekend during the fall. I have a kubota tractor with loader that will keep me busy during the winter plowing. and i have been selling firewood for a bout a month now. and the reason i might be selling the z is because it wont fit on my trailer, and i dont want to buy a new trailer until i get my licencese also because i am running out of room. But i have been making plenty of money over the past couple of years to afford all of my things.

11-08-2005, 06:14 PM

why didn't you measure the mower before you bought it to make sure it will fit on the trailer?

Signature Landscaping1

11-08-2005, 07:11 PM

i have a 6x10 snowmobile trailer and i used that to pick it up, but i pull my stuff around with the snowbear trailer 4x8 beacuse the snowmobile trailer stays in NH. Plus the exmark is to much weight to pull around with my lawn tractors, thats why i use the bunton right now cuz its light. but i broke both lawn tractors, blew the engine on the jd. and busted the rear axle on the scotts. now im looking into a kubota, or massey furgeson compact tractor. the kubota i have now is way to big to drive on the road.

ya dude send me a pm and i'll come over and see if you have all this i know you do but they dint think you do:)

How do you know he has all this stuff?

Because you're his age you just assume he's not lying?

Maybe if he took some better pictures of the Truck and ZTR.
Both of those photos look like they're off ebay or something to that effect.

Signature Landscaping1

11-13-2005, 01:59 PM

im sick of u guys thinkin im lying, the only reason there is no other pics is because i dont have a didital camera, during the summer i used my siters, and now shes awayt at college. and i do have all that stuff, and the pics arnt of ebay either. my dad did help me pay for some of it buy i paid mostly for all of it, ive been workin my ass off since i was 8.

Signature,

Don't worry about all the non-belivers. They are just jealous that you have a Z ans they don't. Keep up the good work. Many kids your age don't have a good work ethic. It is great to see a young kid work so much. Give yourself alot of credit that you have three jobs and trng to get your business going. All I have to say is stay in school and get two educations.

Stripes look great

11-13-2005, 02:47 PM

mow king your jealous are'nt you because he got all this stuff when he's so young right? you wish you could have had all this at his age some kids work hard and invest lage amounts back to our biz we have little overhead so we can buy stuff like this

I dont't know. I had this when I was late 15. Now I'm 17, last year of high school and I ordered a 06 silverado 4x4 a few weeks ago. Should be here next week just in time to mount a new arctic plow. So what does he do with the lazer. Just let it sit, he should have never taken it off the lot if it didn't fit. It's not impossible to not have all what he says, But I don't know. I did it and all I got to say a keep it going and do good work. Don't be a joe,mow,blow guy or you will get a real bad rep. real quick. Luckly I don't got that rep. Keep up the hard work

thanks triple L, i like your setup , you buy that walker brand new, its nice,

ALarsh

11-17-2005, 06:06 PM

Wow, talk about full of BS. You drop over $8K on a lawn mower AND just figure out it wont fit on your little trailer? If you have all of this equipment you say you have, you surely have enough work to keep the equipment running so you will have a good amount of disposable income to drop on a trailer. Your telling me that you paid over $8k for that diesel unit and you don't want to spend $1200 on a trailer to drive it around, which you will have to spend anyways if you intend on staying in this business?

Sorry kid but you don't have the Z. Its not impossible to have a Z at 15, I had my toro unit at 15 but your story doesn't add up. Put up or shut up kid.

Signature Landscaping1

11-17-2005, 06:36 PM

u shut up and it is possible to have it, plus you dont know me u could call ne of my friends aor family and ask them what i have, and when i bought it i picked it up with my snowmobile trailer and i thought i would be using that to pull my **** around, but that was goin back up to N.H so i couldnt use it, and plus its a tilt trailer and i hate tilt trailer they suck, i have 21 accounts all in my neigborhood, and i do have pretty good income, plus i work two other jobs, and i just decided i am getttin a new trailer 6x14, off one of my neigbors for 400, i will buy it in the spring, and i cant take pics until i get a new camrera because my other one broke, when i get a new one i will take more pics.

LOL. It just goes on and on.

Why would you sell the Z then if your going to get the trailer to pull it around?

cash_money

11-17-2005, 10:19 PM

this some b/s here sure he could have "ALL THESE THING BUT" he just dosen't make sense. you got a $8,000 and can't afford a bigger trailer and aleast a $13,000 or $14,000 truck and you can't get a trailer to give the 350 some weight to pull around. hey man if you can't fit the truck in the garage for some reason before chcking it would and it didn't fit then sell that truck to me lol...

Hey does any one know a good rate for plowing a parking lot thats only about 10 spaces?

LawnBoy89

11-21-2005, 09:23 PM

LMFAO. YOU ARE THE MAN!!!

I love how you changed your story 8 times....my sisters camera now shes in college, then your camera broke, whats next you don't have time to put them on the computer? You must have some big azz lawns to only have about 20 and buy a deisel powered lazer. Whatever works man

Oh yea, one more thing, why no stripes from the lazer? I mean I guess it makes sense to use a 1970 Bunton instead of a brand new lazer, thats what I would do too if I had both. I'm actually getting a lazer this friday but I'll probably continue to use my 48'' Ferris belt drive walkbehind because its more efficient.

Just kidding.

You know what Signature, you may want to lighten up a bit. If you personally go back over all your posts you're going to see that a lot of things you say/claim don't add up nor sound legit. Now, I don't care if you have a brand spanking new Kubota, or Lazer, or 1-ton, or whatever. Some of these guys have been in business for many many years and know what it takes to run a legit and prosperous business. And when some young kid gets on here bragging about all his stuff, whether it's legit or not, and in your case it sounds iffy by your posts...you're going to get some heat. Think about it, what if some 4 year old kid walked up to you right now and started showing off pics of all this equipment he has, then finding many discrepencies in his story...would you question him?

Now, if you're running a legit business, with proper insurance, taxes paid, etc. then more power to you and welcome to lawnsite.com where you'll gain some very valuable information. If you're blowing smoke (only you know for sure), then I hope the mythical Lazer Z rolls over you as you unload it from the "tilt trailer". :rolleyes:

I am not blowing any smoke buck, i didnt come to this site to get criticized,i came to it to get advice, i am going to school for plant and enviromental science right now, majoring in Landscape operations, Forestry and Horticulture, and Turfgrass and buiness managment, so i already know quite a bit, and im not trying to show off my equipment, i have the equipment i say i have, my dad did help me buy some of it, the truck my uncle gave to me for a gift. But im not lying, ihave 21 accounts all in my neigborhood, i have the tractors i say i have, and the kubota is big, but my dad bought it because it was at a good price, and to use for snow removal. I go to Norfolk County Agricultural High School.
