First Dump

[RedWingsDet]

Got it tonight, taking the lettering off tomorrow, sanding/grinding down the dump box and re painting it, then relettering it. I gotta clean out the inside too, oh I got a 8.5 Western Pro Plow too.

Sweet truck mark. How much did that run you?

[ToroLandscaper]

I like it alot how much and how many miles?

[RedWingsDet]

I got a pretty good deal on it. Its a v10, 4x4 and only 45k miles

[Itsgottobegreen]

Looks good mark. Have fun with it. Its going to make you $$$$$$$$$$.:drinkup:

[Eclipse]

I thought you were looking for an extended cab? That might be a little tough to park at school :)

[RedWingsDet]

If I was getting a personal truck/work truck I wanted an extended cab diesel, but this is for work only and I have a car for personal use, I just dont get the car until may 15th lol.

[zim bob the landscaper]

Holy Cow, thats alot of gas. I spent 900 in gas in December and I plowed every day till about the 20th.

[J&R Landscaping]

Looks nice! That may be the path I go down to, just not sure yet. What kinda tranny in it? Good luck, Its a money making machine!

[MysticLandscape]

[RedWingsDet]

[bugthug]

Nice Dump. Good luck with it.

[Itsgottobegreen]

Shes a Lengthy one.

Mark welcome to my world. My truck and trailer combo is the same length. Its a ***** in some places.

[RedWingsDet]

Ya I need to figure out something so I dont jack knife it, I havent jackknifed it yet in Reverse, but I did jack knife it TWICE in DRIVE!!!

[ALarsh]

So you sold the chevy and the other ford?

[RedWingsDet]

the deal fell through with the other ford and didnt pick it up.... but I did sell the chevy.. and I'm loving this f350, its saves a heck of alot of time when its time to dump.

[MysticLandscape]

How did you jack knife it in drive?

[RedWingsDet]

just turning in drive to sharp, I guess my toung isnt long enough, I need to get a longer reciver hitch, because the hitch im using one is the kind that is bolted directly to the truck so theres absolutly no space between the ball and the bumper.

[MysticLandscape]

Ya, I think I am going to have that problem with my trailer when I get a new truck in the next year.

[J&R Landscaping]

What kind of fuel mileage are you getting with it so far?

[RedWingsDet]

I dont even caculate my mileage on this truck, I dont want to know what it is, I just fill up when its on E.

[RedWingsDet]

Heres an updated pic of it! Let me know what you think, thanks.

[DSLND]

NICE!! Keep up the Great Work! How Much Do U charge for delivery? Im putting alot of money down for my dump truck right now (Chevy 3500) but its basically the same truck with a chevy sign on it. Lol! -Mitch-

For mulch and what not I charge a $25-$35 delivery fee plus I mark up the materials abuot $10 or so per yard.

It all depends on the customer (good customer, one time customer, etc.) and area.

[Lawnworks]

How much did you pay for it?

[elmo1537]

look good but you might want to put down a tarp next time so you dont get mulch all over the concrete

[jimslawns]

definetly looks good with the bed black:)

[RedWingsDet]

Lawnworks, I paid under 20k for it.

Elmo, thanks, but im not worried since it only took us 2 hours to put down 5 yards of mulch it didnt have time to stain...

Jim- Thank you, I like it alot.

Is that an ultramount plow hitch in the front I see? Do you park the truck and trailer at home? Do your neighboors give you trouble or did you get a zoning variance.

[RedWingsDet]

Yes its an ultramount, and no I do not park it at home, I have a shop that has a fenced in 60x40ft lot to store equipment.

[Lawnworks]

How long is the bed? 8ft?

[RedWingsDet]

no its a 9ft bed

[Lawnworks]

Electric or hydrolic lift?

I have an electric lift for my 12 ft flatbed... it is almost a hobby for me to pull right beside some poor guys that are pitch forking debris out of there truck at the landfill... and I just hit a switch and go! It is definately one of the sweetest purchases I have ever made.

[RedWingsDet]

Electric. Its deff. easier than a standard truck, however even with the standard trucks you can use tarps and layer them every foot or so and it only will take a minute to get the debris out, however I still love my dump.

[RedWingsDet]

This truck made me ALOT of money this past year. I dont see why more guys have dump trucks. They're alot nicer. I also have a 2500HD now too. That way for sod jobs, while the dump is getting loaded with the old lawn from the tearout the chevy is off picking up sod. Plus these trucks are beasts when it comes to plowing.

[J&R Landscaping]

Are you still thinking about selling it? I remember you said you were having trouble with it earlier in the year.

[RedWingsDet]

if someone offers me a good price then yes. but otherwise no
