Well we finally splurged and went and done it.
We bought ourselves a bigger trailer. We feel this will give us an edge on our competition, and help us increase our business.

Because we are so proud of our purchase, we even took a picture of it. See below. :blob3:

Wow, you could probably even fit 2 21's on that thing! Now, putting hand tools in your truck, you have a major operation! Good job major tom!

Maybe next time you can get one that will hold TWO 21 inch mowers so you can double your business. :D

Eric, that's our goal for next year. Right now though, we don't have enough money to buy another 21. We're saving up our pennies though, and we will eventually get one ;)

Hey! How'd you know that was me?! LOL. J/K Everybody has to start somewhere I suppose. A trimmer and blower would be a nice addition though...

Boy, I could use a trailer like that.... The other day I hit a bump in the road and my WeedEater fell off the luggage rack on the roof of my Corrola wagon. Well needless to say, the trimmer fell off and hit the black top. Luckily the extension cord got tangled around the handle of my Murray mower that sticks out of the back window....... :D :p

I saw a mower like this on a similiar trailer being pulled by a Ford Escort today. Mower was just about bigger than the car.

It probably has more power and better handling than the Escort too. :D

The mower in the picture is a Scotts 1642 and is setting on a golf cart trailer. I started with this setup last year but have since gotten a Laser Z and 7x12 trailer. I took the deck off and use it for pulling a small dump wagon, de-thatcher, aereator, etc.

I cut over 800 acres on that little machine last year and with the exception of replacing the deck belt twice I had no trouble at all with it. I replaced the ignition switch this spring but thats all (it was getting a little loose and want to take advantage of that John Deere warranty before it ran out ;) ).

Try that with a Crapsman! :D

One TOUGH little riding mower, that Scotts! :)
