My Rig/running out of room

[smcunningham]

Need bigger trailer.....even my bed is crammed tight

Nice stuff. In the pics it looks like you could pull the z back some and give you some more room between the mowers.

not crammed... efficient!

take the wheel barrow and strap it nose down in the "aframe" at the tounge of the trailer with the flat side against your steel tool cage. and the handles pointing into the air if you shift your WB to one side, you could put your Grass Catcher on the side, and there appears to be enough room behind the ZTR for the 21" push mower

or you could make a bracket to hang the grass catcher on the back side of your tool cage. and put the slide the push mower int he front of the trailer to the right or left of the WB with he deck of the push under the cage like the WB.

I hated having tools in the back of the pickup truck. The back of the truck was for trash and debris...

My trailer is loaded 27 pounds under weight as you see it sit right now....If I put the push mower on the trailer to right or left of w/b The tiger ends up having to go right or left also and the one side being heavy I can notice alot on highway @ 55-65mph........also if the tiger is'nt all the way up against w/b I gat all kinds of sway @ 40mph or faster......Will strap wheel barrow as recommended ...I'm like a 1" short of width to put a 21 behind turf tiger....I try like hell all the time though.......Thanks.Shane

I know that feeling! Where can you order a basket like that?

As long as you don't plan on buying another big piece of equipment, I would say the trailer is just right. I don't understand why some have 20' trailers for a ztr, a 21 and a wb. When everything is crammed together, it can't move that far if you stop hard, unlike with a bigger trailer with tiedowns.

Exactly... I don't think bigger is always better. Efficiency is the name of the game... less overhead, gas = more profit.

I made it myself.......posted pics..........click on my name and search my posts i think its under landscape box something or other

just throwing Ideas out...

How many lawns do you really need the 21" machine....

Might be time to start evaluating your clients and trim some of the fat that might be slowing you down.

On n the yards where I could not get in the back yard with my 52" I elected to widen gates for my clients. Some paid for material some did not, but I paid for my guys labor to widen all the gates with permission. Gave me the chance to get the 21's and the 36's off of the trailers. and made more productive so I could pick up a few more yards on the days were I once had small gates.

Inmost cases the clients were happy to have the gates widened as I sold them on the fact that if the gate is wider they could actually get a small truck in the back yard if they ever need to do an landscape work or moving, ect...

Looks like you have a nice set-up, but It is far from efficient. For true efficiency you need a place for everything and everything in it's place without being crammed together. If you have to move things around or search for it even for a minute efficiency goes out the door. Do you really need a wheelbarrow everyday?Discipline is the key (I have very little). I have a 16' trailer with a large cage, plenty of room and I don't always put things where they need to be.
