My equiptment pics

[Richard Martin]

Well, I finally got an AC adapter for my crappy little digital camera so here's a couple of pics of my rig. Yeah I know, the truck needs a bath.

The trailer paint is actually real close to the truck paint when you get the truck (metallic paint) in the right light.

Lookin' good..
I've always liked that Ford body style the best outta all of 'em.;)

I like that beveled edge on the top of the gate, too.

Looking good I have to agree.

Just out of curiosity, what model trimmers are you running??? My Robins spin around and dont stay in place very well in the trimmer rack.

Come on Richard,....scuffed up whitewalls on the trailer ??? You can do better than that! Get some white or chrome wagon wheels for $20 a pop and a pair of Pep Boy Special tires. Under $100 and your lookin' sharp!

You gotta have a plan and a plan I have!

The tires that are on the truck are Sears Roadhandler 31 10.50-15s with 30k+ miles on them. I have a brand new set of BF Goodrich Radial TA 255/70R15s (I got them on sale at a really good price) to replace the Sears tires. Just as soon as the Sears tires wear out I am getting a set of Radial TAs for the trailer and new American Racing 727s all the way around. And just so that the wheel wells don't look like a black hole I paint a set of pie pans orange to put behind the wheels.

well i dont do pictures but that is pretty much my set up.
except mine is a ranger an lazer.. very hard to keep it looking that clean though.

[vipermanz]

that took some really good enginering to get 3 mower on a trailer of that size, look's like a complete setup:)

[dlandscaping]

is that a 6 by 12' trailer? i need to be able to fit a 48 z with acollection system, a toro 36 and 2 21's and i have a 6 by 12 so i was wondering what sizeu use

[casey]

Nice set-up,
Did you get a pic of that anti blowout baffle?

[dhicks]

I like your rig and the digital camera. You did good!

Richard, (and anyone else)

Just something to keep in the back of your mind... If your trailer is not currently running radial tires you may notice a little "sway" when you go around turns at highway speed. Nothing to worry about, but it does feel funny until you get used to it.

PS. Nice Pics, thanks for sharing!

I have to agree funny feeling and also noticed when I hit the endless bumps that the tires would go almost flat.. I have a 6x12 trailer and had radials. At the end of last season, after I bought a lazer, I decided to get trailer tires, rated at 1800 pounds or so. What a difference when equiptment is loaded. Also what a difference when the trailer is empty, realy bounces.

Thanks to everyone for the compliments! :D

I haven't forgotten you. I'm having a new one bent up right now. Since all it is made of is .027 gutter coil they are easy to make in a builders aluminum brake and come in 10' lengths. You just cut it to fit the mower. I could have used last year's again but since they don't cost me anything what the hey, we'll use a new one.
