Well here are the pics of my trailer that ive been promising,what do you think??

[bigw]

well here you go!!!!

[BUCKEYE MOWING]

WOW !! Looks pretty sweet !! Do you have the inside of it decked out with shelves and racks ?

[mower&more1986]

getting their but the racks were all wrong so have to go in a different direction.

I find most senior citizens to be impossible to deal with. Too much time on their hands.

[CandCLandscaping]

how does your 250 pull that empty? it has the 5.4 right?

Thats ok someone has to help them,ive been dealing with them for years selling cars. You just have to know how to talk to them and besides their money is as green as anyone else's and they are much more appreciative when you do a good job and usally pay their bills on time! Oh and dont forget you will be a senior citizen yourself one day and then youll see how they feel when they are disrespected by the younger generation...hey leave them all for me!!!!

[CandCLandscaping]

everything matches, love it. Are they going to replace the racks?

[Runner]

Wow..Geez oh Pete, that is not money spent,...it is money invested. you have purchased yourself ALOT of advertising. you have a big mobile billboard. On top of that, it is well done. The layout and design, the fonts, the colors, the whole 9 yards. There are two key ingredients (among others) that really stand out...First, it is very EASY to read, and comfortable to the eyes. Second, and even more so, it is attractive to the eye. It draws to you, and makes you WANT to read it's contents. It is not often when something turns out this nice in a well rounded way. Good luck with it!

Looks good.

[Az Gardener]

You are a bright guy you know it looks good. You just want us to all stroke your ego.. :o:o well that's OK that's what we are here for when it is deserved (and it is so rarely deserved)

Actually Runner hit the nail on the head it is probably the best looking rig I have seen, ever, anywhere. :weightlifter: Congratulations.

PS you don't have to tell all your secrets. :nono: Keep the seniors thing on the down low. There is enough competition :) .

[ProTouch Groundscapes]

Looks absolutely amazing!!. Very ,very nice layout. I love your slogan also. very catchy. nice work.

[Lynden-Jeff]

I agree, and I plow and old folks home. What a PIA lol Nice trailer.

yeah i guess you are right but after all the work and thought i put into it, its nice to hear it looks good,you can know it looks good but its always better when your peers tell you. Hey thanks for all the compliments everyone!!

[PerfectEarth]

Nice trailer! How long have you been in business?

[mowing grass 1111]

looks good ....... i bet your business card looks just like it... btw is that a 18 ft trailer

[DBL]

sweet trailer...everything except the senior citizen thing

[lawnscapesLLC]

Nice looking set up! I'm guessing you had someone design it for you? How much did it cost if you don't mind me asking. I agree with you about old people tho--I have a number of customers who are senior citizens and on a fixed income and none have ever been late with any of the payments. They like good workers and some even gave me a nice x-mas gift!

[bigw]

Nice trailer! How long have you been in business?

35 years...no this is going to be my first year and yes im going full speed ahead. I was always taught if you are going to do something do it 100% or dont do it at all,i usally do things 110%! I am determined :weightlifter:

[bigw]

exactly!!!! oh and my truck and my shirts and my sign...lol Looking to get my logo reconized as much as possible.

Nice lookin trailer

[juspayme]

looks good. i got mine 3 years ago. real good advertising. its way better than those bunk phone books
put a couple lawn chairs inside (folding). when it rains you can go in there wait out a storm. i put a frig in mine. run it off a side battery. keeps your drinks cold. keep extra shirts in there. put a fan in there too.

[Big C]

It looks awsome....with the effort you are putting forth you will not fail!!!!! GOOD LUCK!

[Az Gardener]

i put a frig in mine. run it off a side battery. keeps your drinks cold. keep extra shirts in there. put a fan in there too.

Is your a frig like you would find in a RV? I was shopping them a couple of years ago they seemed to be very expensive. Even at the RV bone-yard 6-700 bucks as I recall. After buying ice daily for this time it probably would have been money well spent.

Vintage,

Not to drift too far, but I don't see a BU # on your rig. Are you a certified pesticide applicator?

If not, your not too far from the testing facility, and in order to apply this coming year, you should get their testing schedule.

Hey BigW, Nice rig, what size trailer is that also what make? I am adding lawn service this year to my business as well. I am looking at a 8.5x20 Express trailer, do you have any photos of the inside? looks real professional, enclosed is the way to go, traveling billboard you cant beat the exposure. Best of luck to you, i can tell you are a driven individual just buy your equipment, and your potential customers will see it too.

Very Nice, what did they charge you for the trailer wrap if you dont mind me asking. I believe they charge by the sq ft. What size trailer is that?

[Lux Lawn]

Great job on the trailer,if that doesn't get calls nothing will.

[Military Lawns]

That is a nicceeee set-up! Clean and professional, contrary to what some LCO's say looks can be the difference between getting certain jobs or not.

Cleaner,
I have a 7x16 trailer Express Custom made trailer and they are the industry's secret because hardly no one knows about them. They are built like tanks and are well worth the money. I just got it so it is being formatted for lettering and some airbrushing. Soon as it is complete, I will post some pictures. You cannot go wrong with them.

The reason I have a 7x16 is because I only do this part-time and use only one (1) ZTR and two (2) WB's. If I decide to go full-time perhaps I will upgrade. For now that is all I need.

10-4 i am still out of town until Monday

[EhlingerLawns]

It's a wrap and was done about four years ago still looks as good as new .

At the time cost around $2300.00

[packey]

That trailer is realy nice. I wish I could say the same about mine. your sign shop did a good job on the layout and that is a lot tougher than you may think

[CandCLandscaping]

is the logo on the trailer gold leaf also?

[Synergy Ground]

BigW,

If you don't mind me asking, what was the cost to have the trailer decal-ed & lettered.

[bigw]

Well the back pack blower rack that they installed did not work nor did the trimmer rack so now i am going to attempt to make some racks of my own tomorrow. The reason the back pack rack didnt work was my echo755 has a plastic grill type surounding the fan which keeps leaves out of the motor and the bar that slides through the back pack to keep it in place will not work unless you punch out the plastic which i am not going to do.I think echo put that their for a reason.Also my shindawia single edge will not fit the hedge trimmer rack do to the location of the grip handle which can not be moved down due to bolt pattern unless you move it almost all the way down which would be very uncomfortable. The racks were made by oh heck ill just show you with pics.I will post pics when i get it done.

[bigw]

Here's what im talking about with the back pack and trimmer. Ok see the slotted black plastic area on the right side of the blower,well that would have to be busted out for the metal strap piece in the above picture to slide through. The forward handle on the trimmer gets in the way of fitting into the hedge trimmer rack,i know it looks like you should be able to move that handle forward but you cant unless you move it about 8 inches forward and then its off balance in your hands.Bottom line wont fit no how and i even called the company of these racks and they are the ones that told me to bust the plastic on my new blower lmao i couldnt believe he said that to me! I will make my own,oh and i got my 190.00 back!

[NSLC]

well here you go!!!!Its all very nice. The trailor is sleek, your name is unique and your logo and ad are top notch! Is everything protected? Trademark and registration?

Trade mark on the logo in the works.

Very nice trailer. I'm extremely envious. However only being 17, I dont want to spend as much as you did. Lol

Nice job, Glad everything is working out.

Go to Home Depot and check out what they have in the closet asile. I got some stuff from there for my garage. Works well. Think maybe I have 50 bucks into it. I dont really see the need to get locking racks in an enclosed, you can just lock the whole thing up.

You've only posted a few times but for the life of me I can not understand what some of your posts have to due with anything.

[davis45]

Love the truck and trailer bigw.

I did not read through this whole thread so sorry if its been asked, but do you have any pics of the inside?

[South Florida Lawns]

Very nice looking setup. I like the L.E.D lights thats one thing I would replace mine with. I also wish I went with the 8ft wide instead of the 7. CargoMates are the best enclosed for the money these days.

NICE WORK, Looks great, you should get alot of responce from that!

[toddy204]

What kind of mowers do you run? It looks like what ever you use stripes very well. Are you using striping rollers?

[TGK]

Seniors are a bad business plan. 1. like my college stated earlier they have all sorts of time on their hands so they want friends and call to make trouble. 2. They are on a fixed income so you could pratically be "like their grandchild" (hand over my heart) and they will still pay the kid next door for 5 dollars less per week, and laugh about it. 3. Once they run up a bill and buy the farm you have to work OT for your $. 4. You have just eliminated everyone else who sees that truck because if im a young doctor and need my grass cut, im going to think its NOT OK to call you.
Do yourself a big favor NOW and take that off everything! The rest looks Ok

[ryansbob]

BigW - vintagelawncare nice setup, only thing I don't like is that the axels on your carmate trailer for a 16ft trailer are really far back, that will be putting plenty of extra tounge weight on the hitch and the back of the pickup truck, you might want to install air bags or add a leaf springs on that truck. make sure all your heavy stuff goes in the back of the trailer over the axels. My heavy work bench and tool box is in the front of my trailer and my axels are centered in my trailer and I still carry plenty of tounge weight. I'll post some pictures of my rig soon, I'm local in warminster pa.

[bakerc8]

looks nic get more pics of the stuff
