J&J Fall - '08

[nnj18]

Well I figured I'd might as well take my camera with me and take some pix.... so here...we...go! lol

(btw sorry for it being a little blury, my camera lense wasn't clean and I didn't realise it :hammerhead: )

1st Pile of the day! Will @ Lakeview Landscapes picks up my leaves more me and is a GREAT guy to work with! Without his help I would be screwed.


http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/nn4/JJLMC/JJ-Fall08002.jpg

and the backyard, which was a HUGE PITA because the customer wanted the entire property cleaned, and she has ton of plants and forsythia bushes + ivy and pacasandra wich holds the leaves like a magnet !!!.....she paid dearly for it though lmao!

http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/nn4/JJLMC/JJ-Fall08003.jpg

same prop, other side of backyard.....oh and these two parts are connected by a 40" strip of grass (a little stream on one side and pool on the other....I'll get pix) and there is ONLY one exit :hammerhead:

http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/nn4/JJLMC/JJ-Fall08004.jpg

company shirts on 24/7.....this is my best guy

http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/nn4/JJLMC/JJ-Fall08006.jpg

look close there's 3 guys here...wind was against us 100% on this prop. so we were blowing the leaves into piles and tarping...

http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/nn4/JJLMC/JJ-Fall08007.jpg

the AMAZING, MUST HAVE JRCO leaf plow.....my dealer screwed up and got the 48", not the 60" I wanted but oh well.....tiny little pile

http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/nn4/JJLMC/JJ-Fall08008.jpg

the wright....guys were onto another job and I went back to mow.

http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/nn4/JJLMC/JJ-Fall08010.jpg

http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/nn4/JJLMC/JJ-Fall08014b.jpg

thanx...wouldnt have it any other way! lol ........eh its getting revised there are some flaws + some ppl might not like it because it, "doesn't look like an 18 year olds website"....even though my work and equipment speaks for itself...

[Lawn Freak]

Everything looks good from the truck and equipment to the properties. I love my hoodies

[G-Chop]

Nice work!

[RedMax Man]

Yeah you gotta pretty legit operation under control for being 18. anyway i'm only a year older so i can relate.

Just curious is your truck paid off? would you like to put a dump insert in the bed?

[honeydopm]

No spraypaint way too professional haha Got leaves

[nnj18]

thats cool man! kinda figured you were close to my age from your thread....no the trucks not paid off and I might but only if I bought myself a strictly personal truck first....I'm looking to get a 12-14' dump first though....theres alot of stuff up in the air as far as trucks right now....so anything can happen lol...if yah wanna know pm its np.

No spraypaint way too professional haha Got leaves

haha yah I mean I don't want to jump on people but come-on, how in the heck do you feel good about yourself and people hire you? IMAGE is EVERYTHING, thats from the way you carry yourself, to the way you maintain a property, to the way you install mulch or a landscape, to the equipment you own, to the way you advertise.....jmo

[honeydopm]

Presentation is everything. If you dont have the funds at least improvise. Cmon spraypaint? Nice setup and nice work!! Good luck in the future

[nnj18]

heres a pic I forgot to post.....last one for now, I will have more thursday if it doesn't rain or snow, [I]crossing fingers[I].

as you can see about 1/2 the trailer is full of ornamental grasses, thats just from two houses. lol oh and one other thing my truck is looooonger then the trailer wich will change in the spring when I get a 8x18 enclosed...

thanx!

[RedMax Man]

Trailer maybe small but its nice and the sides are perfect hight with the expanded metal.

You don't wanna do any lettering on that truck?

[nnj18]

yah I LOVE those sides! I will keep the trailer, its nice for landscaping and smaller stuff or a small crew. As far as the truck, nah. Once I have a personal truck then yah I would, but also like I said above theres alot of "ifs" right now on trucks.

I really want to get rid of this truck and get a setup like this in all black.

Dodge 2500 Laramie diesel - personal
Chevy/GMC 5500 with 12' dump diesel - work

I don't like driving around in a smelly work truck 24/7 + friends don't like it, and the truck already has 19k on it; I have a few options right now as far as the truck situation goes....

[RedMax Man]

maybe thats why everyone stays outta my truck lol. they just like to see it from a distance.

I like black. its sharp!

[nnj18]

yah black is really sharp + its goes pretty good with green....only other trucks that good good with green are tan (ugly), white (ugly), silver (ok), charcoal grey (nice), but overall black looks WAY better, throw some tint on them, aluminum rims and some chrome and a nice logo and ur set. :)

your truck does look GREAT though!! I think its one of the nicest fords I've seen on here and plowsite...

haha thanks. I won't buy another truck thats not black unless i can get a very good deal and have it painted.

[wayside]

nice stuff man , keep up the good work!

[STIHL GUY]

looks like you have a well established buisnesss

[nnj18]

looks like you have a well established buisnesss

Thanx! I would like to think so :)

thanx man.....took ALOT of hard work and dedication, I didn't play any sports from sophmore year on and never really had alot of time to go to parties or for girls. lol Like this spring me and my brother handed out around 3500 door hangers and another 1500 towards the fall. But its paying off; next year I'm defaintely getting DIRECT mailers! lol

[RedMax Man]

Thats sick, 3 RedMax 8001's. did you buy em all together?

[nnj18]

Thats sick, 3 RedMax 8001's. did you buy em all together?

Yep! I paid $1605 out the door, I want to get a 4th....

[nnj18]

Sorry about no pictures today guys; I was supposed to work but some stuff came up so I just gave estimates and collected....I should have a bunch for you saturday

[RedMax Man]

Yep! I paid $1605 out the door, I want to get a 4th....

why so many?
one for each guy when 4 are working i assume?

[nnj18]

why so many?
one for each guy when 4 are working i assume?

you got it! sometimes I have 4 guys working + myself so that 4th blower helps....or I may get a 13hp force blower. I'd like to get both :D lol but I have some other stuff I need before I go spending another $2k on stuff just used a few weeks per year...

My dad thought I was crazy because I bought 3 this year (had 2 EBZ8000s but started having some problems so I sold them for $750) , I told him just wait and see. After coming to one of my jobs he agreed that it was good planning and investment, I was like told you so lol

[riverwalklandscaping]

how did that pile of leaves fill a 12 foot landscape dump 2.5 times? does he not use a truck loader? That pile looks like about a 1/5th of a load for my 14foot dump w/5.75ft sides

[nnj18]

yah he has a leaf loader.....I know it was a good 2 truck loads, I think his equipment just hates me (and he'll agree lol)....but seriously I dunno.....its a pretty big pile though, I mean the front pile was 5' tall and the one in the back about 3'.....the picture doesnt do it justice I shouldve had one of the guys stand next to it

[srl28]

Well yea i got a truck loader, 27hp ODB tow behind on my freightliner 12'. The pile was pushed together with a leaf plow, thus the leaves were very compacted and about 2x what ya see in the pictures and there was also a good windrowed amount down the street that we sucked up first. Gotta say Jareds a great guy to work with, does some nice work! Thanks for the kind words btw.

lol thanx man, I try....was wondering when you were gonna pop in and say something lol

[oakwdman]

everything looks nice as always. I'm assuming your goin with a black enclosed? Should look very very very very sharp.






very sharp.

Yeah i'd say add a push blower. Dealer must have liked that sale. I don't need more then 2 backpacks. i have 1 handheld also which is handy (pun intended)

do all 3 get the same amount of use during the year?

[mrusk]

Man can we get some more shots of the 3 blowers from different angles?

[nnj18]

Colin - yah I'm looking at getting a 8x18 black enclosed in the spring with all the extras.

Micah - yah my dealer likes me I think I spent a little over 6500 with him this year so....I try I guess to give them equal use?? Doesn't really bother me I bought them to work and make me $$$$, as long as they last me 3 seasons n I can sell them for a 100 or 2 I'm more then happy...2 are always on the trailer when we mow.

Matt - sure would you also like me to give you a lecture on why redmax is better then all the rest? lmao

[nnj18]

The weather here has been terrible (20 or less + high mph winds) so we didn't work saturday....I should have more pix monday when everything is supposed to warm up an calm down......oh and it doesn't help to much when the leaves are frozen to the ground

[J&R Landscaping]

Nice pictures!

[nnj18]

stopped in for lunch...just have two guys with me and 8 houses to do....some pix I snapped from this morning.

again my best guy...

[srl28]

Oh boy some piles goin on there lol! Lawns look nice, expecting 1 to 3 inches of the white stuff tonight and tomorrow!!!!!!

[nnj18]

lol yep! I ran it over with the mower to help more fit in your truck.....I have 3 more piles for you. :)

And yah the lawns look nice, that's why they hire me!! lol

[Dodge Truck]

Man those are tiny lil jobs lol....but I'm sure they still pay just like everyone else....whats an average cleanup like that running the customer?
Are you just doing one cleanup per prop or multiple cleanups?

All pics looks nice, like the signs and sweats

[Green Team Landscaping]

Do those leaf rakes touch the ground or not? And if you pushed a big pile, would there be any leaves that slip underneath the bottom? In English what I mean is are the plows to push the majority of the pile or can they get it all w/o leaving any behind?

They get the majority of the leaves, save a helluva lotta time on a job. Whats left can usually be quickly blown or simply mowed

[newtostone]

Your doing some great work. You should be proud, just keep hitting the doors and doing work like that and your going places. And get a PUSH BLOWER you will wonder how you did without it. With those backpacks and the push blower you'll save so much time. It comes in handy when you have large open lawns with large piles on them. I need to get a lead plow like that, i have just been pushing with the mower but its slow. And for the trailer I was going to go with an 18' and ended up with a 20'. Very glad i got the 20', with the two mowers blowers and all that stuff in there it gets tight. Once again your doing good clean work, be proud of what you've got going. Best of luck and keep up with the pictures, love seeing your work.

lol yes they're small but we can bang out a house in like 30-40mins :D I'm getting around $250; 2 cleanups per fall. Some houses are more and my higher-end prop.s are 3-4 cleanups. thanx!!!

[srl28]

Ouch! well sorry lol! Yea shouldve brought mine, but i learned the hard way that Kodak cameras dont float well lol. long story!

Liked that little strobe in the rear window who makes it?

[nnj18]

Ouch! well sorry lol! Yea shouldve brought mine, but i learned the hard way that Kodak cameras dont float well lol. long story!

lol np jk....um not sure? I'll check for you, I know its a dual LED with like 20 something flash patterns :D (or pretty close) Im going to put 6 hide-away strobes in the '08.....oops wasn't supposed to let that secret out yet!! oh well, anyway I'm putting 4 in the tail lights and 2 in the head lights...maybe a backrack too with a min-led :)

yah, people say my prop.s are small, BUT I will put $$$$$ that my piles will compete with theirs.....and I know you'll agree lol btw you should wash your FL and wax it as a thank-you for loving me tonight..... :cool:

oh and I just added you as a friend on here....

[srl28]

Haha wash and wax! you wanna do it be my guest. All the trucks get washed at least once a week, wheels get cleaned and so on, idk like keeping my stuff clean

gotta say for anyone interested or curious after seeing these pics that these cleanups are darn clean! they are some really nice looking properties by the time Jared and his crew are done and its done well. And yes your piles are without a doubt the largest! its that leaf plow! packs em in there well!

[Petr51488]

Lookin good.. Got any pics of the loader setup?

[Green Team Landscaping]

So you can adjust the height of the leaf rake? I think I'm sold on it for next year.

[Dodge Truck]

So you can adjust the height of the leaf rake? I think I'm sold on it for next year.

you can, but there is no reason to be adjusting the height

[nnj18]

Lookin good.. Got any pics of the loader setup?

thanx...no, its "srl28"- Will's truck and loader. I do know that its a Freightliner FL40 w/ 12' landscape dump and he tows a ODB 27hp Kawasaki leaf loader....

So you can adjust the height of the leaf rake? I think I'm sold on it for next year.

um like said above there really is no reason to adjust the height at all....

[nnj18]

so are there any suggestions, thoughts , comments? I'd like to hear what you guys think......good and the bad...

[Green Team Landscaping]

Thanks a lot!

[srl28]

Actually is an Fl50 12' grain dump with a CAT in it. Heres a pic i took tonight of the leaf vac from the back since people were asking :waving:

[nnj18]

oh sorry man

[srl28]

ha no problem! at all, fit so many leaves in that truck today, did 4 huge cleanups and never dumped, we mowed em first thats why. Works well in tandem with the hustler and bac-vac

[Green Team Landscaping]

Why do you guys buy the trailer leaf loaders over a mounted one that you can have swing away? That way you could tow a trailerr over having 2 trucks

[srl28]

Once you own one, I doubt you will go back. I have 3. The one tow behind pictured and 2 stationary ones, one is mounted under the bed of my chevy. The other is a tailgate type. The tow behind has larger intake and exhaust tubes which prevents clogging and allows more material to be moved. That whole trailer weighs just 800lbs so one guy can unhook it and move it around some and get it in some tight spots and back up to it and hook up again, I personally think its almost easier than the swingaways to unload. Also allows me to use the truck for other things when we dont need the vac. Each one has its place and with some of my larger accounts with long driveways and also big piles I think the towbehind is best. More power by far and works better. Also slices and dices the leaves quite nicely when running at full throttle allowing more material to be packed in the body.

eh I think that thing shreds like shyt...imo it should fit in alot more then it usually does.....I wish these vac guys would use their brains already and make something with carbide teeth and dual impellers so it double shreds and doesnt get destroyed if you suck up sticks or rocks....when I buy my own I may buy 2 and have a professional welder work something up that does a much better job....

[srl28]

Haha we ll funny story, ya know how the throttle control got busted of the control panel, well if u tweak it right and throw an extra spacer in there it holds at a much much higher rpm and shreds like u wouldnt believe!! wish i realized that sooner but now over the winter ill get a new control panel and install it so we can really use it to its fullest capabilities.

[nnj18]

ahaha are you serious!! lmao! thats too funny.....I'd still look into getting some carbide teeth put on that. Maybe in the spring I'll have you come down and we can try it out :D

[srl28]

yea we got a kick out of that, all it took was an extra 2 washers and it held the throttle enough to give ya about 1200 rpm more than we were workin with. Really shreds em now. Sucked a tarp full of leaves, tarp and leaves and all from about 5ft away today, right thru the vac and into the truck b4 we could blink lol. That was some noise lol!

That things gonna need a new impeller soon anyways we ll see, works fine without the teeth and theres gotta be a reason why they dont come like that so I'll stick with what I know for now i guess

[nnj18]

Well its ur machine...I know on stump grinders they put on carbide teeth because of rocks and dirt so they last a lot longer...jmo but do whatever you want.

[srl28]

Just worried that overtime the extra weight will wear out the shaft and bearings in there thats all. If they had replaceable carbide teath that would be awesome, sticks would be no problem, even rocks that get in there. Would grind it up real nice. Ill bring it up to a welder/fabricator buddy of mine and see what he says

[02DURAMAX]

Looks Great!

[Greenboy24]

Everything looks good jared, I was starting to wonder where you were. lol
I like the new company gear looks pretty sharp.

You're getting a new truck?

[nnj18]

Thanx! yah I'm probably getting a brand new personal truck in the spring and a slightly used F-450 or larger dump truck.

[Surf'n'Turf]

jazak, they let you back in? *trucewhiteflag*

[riverwalklandscaping]

ha no problem! at all, fit so many leaves in that truck today, did 4 huge cleanups and never dumped, we mowed em first thats why. Works well in tandem with the hustler and bac-vac

That's exactly what we do and the end result is double shredding.

[nnj18]

A few small landscape jobs I've done over the past two years or so....

[srl28]

haha oh yea, sold those 2 off lol, made the deal even sweeter! Thank you! Yea never liked the sentar design thats why i was askin. stick with standers and all.

Once you own one, I doubt you will go back. I have 3. The one tow behind pictured and 2 stationary ones, one is mounted under the bed of my chevy. The other is a tailgate type. The tow behind has larger intake and exhaust tubes which prevents clogging and allows more material to be moved. That whole trailer weighs just 800lbs so one guy can unhook it and move it around some and get it in some tight spots and back up to it and hook up again, I personally think its almost easier than the swingaways to unload. Also allows me to use the truck for other things when we dont need the vac. Each one has its place and with some of my larger accounts with long driveways and also big piles I think the towbehind is best. More power by far and works better. Also slices and dices the leaves quite nicely when running at full throttle allowing more material to be packed in the body.
Oh, alright. Thanks for all of this help!

[Lawn Freak]

Everything is still looking good. Where is the hitch on your Dodge on the last pic or two. I would also like to know some info. on your L.E.D. light, I have thought about something like that maybe in a few years

[kps2389]

I like your Dodge. What year is it? 5.9 or 6.7 cummins?

[nnj18]

Dodge is a '07 with the 5.9l. Thanx for the comments! Keep them coming! :waving:

The hitch is off in that picture. Also my LED was only like $80 its a dual amber dash light with 3 suction cups. I'm going to be putting some hide-aways in the truck soon.

So does it have all the emissions crap on it?

No! :D but the new 6.7l's are a lot quieter.

Nice work and pics. wonder how many canoe rides your guys took while your were gone:laugh:

If that Freightliner was mine, the wood leaf box part of the body would be taller.

[Lawn Freak]

Looks good. Why don't the Freightliner have clearance lights?

[Greenboy24]

Pics look good....I have had a few cleanups in the past where they were't a reg customer so I was not responsible for the mowing....when it came time do the cleanup the grass was so ling....I went straight to the door and told them it was going to be x dollars more than I had originally told them because of the length of the grass....the next year we got the mowing contract lol....

[nnj18]

Thanx! lol, my guys are great and work their butts off, I'd trust them with a truck and trailer and 2 more guys with NP. PREACH ON! I've been telling Will that for a while. lol

Looks good. Why don't the Freightliner have clearance lights?

dunno, not my truck....wish my dodge had them though!.......and towing mirrors, and mud flaps, and a back rack, and strobes, and, and, and......lol

Thanx! That cleanup was like $475. I think it covered the grass fine and yah I got them as a maintenance customer for '09. :D

[RedMax Man]

Leaf boxes are never big enough.

Might wana get some mud flaps for your dodge. just a suggestion. looks good dirty though lol

[nnj18]

Mine hasn't been washed in like 3 weeks. way over due.

[srl28]

Ugh some one else griping about how "short" my box is there. Works for us, complain all you want but that box and setup has made us an unbelieveable amount of money this past month or so. dont wanna go too much higher for a few reasons. Small tunnels around some accounts locally, pain to get to the top to put tarp on or work on box, the leaf vac only reaches so high so it can only fill so high to begin with, if that makes sense. Maybe next year but we ll see. Had every intention of makin it larger we just ran out of time.

Truck had a visor with clearance lights on it but last year we had a wind storm and a tree branch fell on it, cracking the fiberglass visor so we took it off and never got it fixed, looks fine without it, can see better too actually lol

[nnj18]

lmao!! Can't say I didn't warn yah Will! lol it worx fine, its ur truck...so you made an unbelieveable amount of $$$$ with that truck, huh?! I think I'm going to have to drop my price from that $14 to $10 lmao!!! (Inside joke) lol

[mrusk]

pictures from today....this was the only job that I was one, dropped the guys off at the others and ran errands,



Man you are always out running errands when your guys are working? What did you go pick up milk and eggs?

[srl28]

Yea works well for us, your piles, idk, hates em lol! Wish that last one there was run through with a mower, then it would be done 1 shot. Oh well now we know, and by next year we ll have the 2nd vac truck back in action lol and maybe this one will go higher. We ll see

ha fine meet ya in the middle- $12

[nnj18]

Man you are always out running errands when your guys are working? What did you go pick up milk and eggs?

lmao! Nah, estimates, gas, drinks, needed a new tarp and some rakes (btw if u want pix of the stuff I'll get them for you, these weren't those shyt rakes! Top of the line commercial!! LMAO!!) and some other stuff. lol

...Atleast I can trust my guys and don't pay them $20hr to phuck up or b-tch...oh n I don't play that, you're hired/fired game. lol!

White Meadow Lake in Rockaway. Yah I'm done, but if some more people call I'll go out, can always use more $$$$.

[Supper Grassy]

Shirts and Sweatshirts look great!

I have always wondered if its legal to put hideaways in in NJ, i saw that you were putting them in so i was seeing if you knew


oh yea both of your opperations are looks great

This year it was just Rockaway and Mountain Lakes. Im looking to expand into Denville, Randolph and Boonton in '09. Not sure about the hide-aways, phuck them if it is illegal. I'll only be using it when working at night or when I'm on a busy road.

Thanx! Also if ANYONE in NJ want the guys info who did my shirts just PM me. He does everything from business cards to websites and has great prices and AMAZING work.


btw my name's Jared, where are you out of?

[G.M.Landscaping]

How did I miss this thread? Sweet stuff. looking good.

[Supper Grassy]

I am in burlington county...i will do some reaseach about hideaways

[nnj18]

I dont know. lol Maybe my title isn't catchy?? lol thanx!

I am in burlington county...i will do some reaseach about hideaways

Oh, OK cool. LMK what you find out....I don't see the problem and already bought them so I don't give a shyt. lol But LMK either way, its good to know.

[srl28]

Ive heard numerous things about the legality of strobes and warning lights. Ive got them on ever truck I own. I feel that 99% of police officers will not bother to say anything about them. If you wanted to get technical and legal there is an amber lighting permit that the state of NJ has. Basically they say you can only have these lights, and need this permit, if you have a contract with the state for plowing, roadwork, etc.

All in all i wouldnt worry about it, and if a police officer is going to give you a hard time about that chances are that he or she will find plenty of other things as well. Your being safe and maintaining a proffesional image I personally dont think either is a bad thing

[mrusk]

Now all you need is a enclosed trailer to put all your schit in.

[nnj18]

Now all you need is a enclosed trailer to put all your schit in.

funny you should mention it :D theres most likely going to be a 8x18 sitting on the side of my house by Monday....

[BltFordTuf]

NNJ, i saw your from morris cty...post 45 looks really really familiar to me..at least from the front view of the houses...where abouts is that?

BTW..really nice equipment and work

Doug

[nnj18]

Doug, its in rockaway, white meadow lake. Thanx! Everyone of my customers told me they were very pleased and asked for cards to give to friends and family. Good work paired with great customer service = phone ringing.

[BltFordTuf]

Hmm...musta ben past there for soccer or something...

btw...i looked into strobes a bit. In NJ technically they are illegal. Can't be in headlights, i think they actually hafta be below the headlights. Some cops will pull you over for anything tho.
I actually have the Whelen 90 Watt system in my truck. only 4 heads right now. Blues in the Headlights and clear in the Tails (like i said..illegal...no one cares...just dont tell the old people on my FA squad..they like to complain bout everything). It's a really nice set up actually. Has like 10 or 15 patterns. Very useful

And for whoever was asking it looks like the amber led is either the whelen slim miser or the mini phantom. Both very good lights. i have the miser in blue on my dash.

Doug

[nnj18]

I don't think you've ever passed this road, its not a main road and is kinda out-of the way.....

yah I'm putting a 6 head in my dodge, like I said I'm only going to use them when needed, not run through town with 'em on. lol I'd like to also get a backrack and through a mini - led on it :D

[BltFordTuf]

Yea, i almost got a back rack for my truck..just cuz i like them, not really for function...but my toolbox has the temporary mount kit...i wouldnt be able to take it off if i got one.....

I don't really use them much..just the back ones if im on a road, or all of them if im responding to fa or fire depending on the call...

[nnj18]

well someone stole my 6x12 trailer with the stander on it right out of my driveway today around 6:00pm!!!! I know he was driving a 2005ish GREEN F-250/350 with back rack. I believe he live in sussex county but not sure......please keep on the lookout! thanx!!!

Terrible!!!

Sorry to hear that bud. did it have a hitch lock on it or anything anti-theft wise?

[nnj18]

I think he's followed me around too in a large white dump truck with UGLY green lettering on the hood???? I heard from a customer that as soon as I was done he'd knock on the door and talk mad shyt about me and then say he'd cut my price by $10 per cut??!! wtf is that?? Hope he hasn’t seen the inside of my garage full of stuff....maybe I'll put the dog in there tonight.....I hope she's more viscous then she was tonight when he was here....

[srl28]

HAHAHA very funny Jared!! Thats great, everyones freakin out thinking someone stole ur stuff. Well for anyone worried, Im the one with the fugly green lettering and white trucks lol Didnt steal a thing, although I like this trailer I may keep it lol! Once Im done fixin it for ya!

[nnj18]

well I got my trailer back and Will did a great job, I'll snap some pix for you guys tomorrow.

[Greenboy24]

What was he fixing?

[srl28]

The mesh on the rear split landscape gate was terrible thin cheap stufff, some welds came undone on it and a few sections were so bad you could loose an ankle through them. Took the mesh off and also reinforced the two gates with some flat stock 10 inches apart and redid the mesh with thicker expanded metal, raised so it provides better traction. Looks great, just sucks these trailers are being sold with such cheap stuff on em

[Greenboy24]

Sounds pretty good. It does suck that they sell them that way. Its pretty easy to do it right the first time but all they care about is the bottom line sometimes

[nnj18]

Yah, I actually did slip on it one day and sprained my ankle and a few days before Will took it to fix my brother actually got his foot stuck in that hole Will mentioned. He was lucky he was wearing pants and boots otherwise it would've been really torn up bad.

[srl28]

Ha we cut our hands up pretty good just takin that crap off lol, nothing a 15lb sledge wont take off lol. Glad its all fixed now. Looks better too! Get some signs on it

[nnj18]

oh trust me they're coming....dont worry bud.

[nnj18]

Here is what Will did to my trailer, all new mesh and horizontal supports

Is that a sprayer mounted on top of a blower?

[nnj18]

Thanx! And yah that's a tank on the 420, a line runs down in front of the tube so it gets "shot" out....you can control how hard of a stream you want or a very light misting...its a SR 420 they call it

[mrusk]

WTF MAN some of those tools like the stuff I had stolen off my trailer in denville. Whats up man????? You boost my tools?

[nnj18]

....ummm can a mod please delete all the last pix...."mrusk", or whoever you really are I don't know what you're talking about or who you are........

[mrusk]

I am tracking your isp # right now.

[nnj18]

look dude, I bought this stuff off a LEGIT guy named Eddie, he drives a toyota tudra...grey in color....said he used to work for a hack or something, nice guy. Anwyay if you have anything else to say you can contact my lawyer. I'm sorry for you loss but you've got the wrong guy.

[Junior M]

Woo! Rusk are you serious? you actually think he stole your stuff?

[newtostone]

Nice snow blower, what size is that and how many hp?

[nnj18]

Its a 13hp with 32" intake

[newtostone]

Please keep me informed on how it works out, I just bought a 36" ariens and am hoping for the best with that.

[nnj18]

I'll be sure to.

[LawnTamer]

You have a nice set up for anyone. To have a set up like that at 18 is outstanding.
Good work.
:clapping::clapping::clapping:

[nnj18]

Thankx man! I'm very proud of what I do and where I am...but I'm not any where close to where I want to be.....I'm never satisfied. lol

Thanx again!!

[nnj18]

its snowing here! :clapping:

[Lawn Freak]

Snowed here yesterday, if its the same system we got about 4-5 inches. Have fun plowing!

[slamjamrockinman]

Wow you have some really nice equipment. Awesome truck too. I remember your old posts on lc when you had the snapper, and then you got the 36. You have come a LONG way. I hope to be that far when I am 18. Nice job!! BTW, what brand of trailer is that?? Thinking about selling??

[nnj18]

Its a carry-on and no I'm not selling it. Thanx!

[nnj18]

Calling for 4"++ tonight!!!! :D

[AndyTblc]

Calling 6-12 tonight

[nnj18]

lucky you! didja put on a plow on your truck? I was thinking of putting one on the dodge, but there is NO way I'm gonna be able to plow with it on small lots or resi's how looooong it is.

[South Florida Lawns]

I like it especially the fact that its dirty not clean and waxed like a lot of people on here, gives me the feeling that you keep busy and actually make some money. Looks good to me Dodge Wright and eXmark, very commercial looking setup in my opinion.

Thanx! The mowers got washed right before I put them away for the winter and they're still not that clean. lol I buy my equipment to make me $$$$ not look pretty. I try to keep it clean and stay on maintenance but there's only so much you can do.

Going to probably be a nice, new, shiny exmark 60" lazer come spring! :)

I know a good deal on a used one.

[nnj18]

You've been saying that for months now! Are you gonna sell it or what? If you're serious I'll probably take both that and the trailer off your hands towards spring....

[Lawn Freak]

I really like those last pics of "How the season ended" I would love to have a slit seeder but I just can't really justify it right now.....I hope to be as far as you when I turn 18

[PerfectEarth]

....I guess hoodies, t-shirts, and sweatshirts are more important that DOT numbers and business name on that truck... Or does Pop not want them on there?? You have your Med card yet Jaz??

:) Merry Christmas!! :waving:

[SNAPPER MAN]

Perfect Earth, Its a 3/4 ton with a 12ft trailer, he doesnt need a DOT number. Will you guys chill out.

[PerfectEarth]

Perfect Earth, Its a 3/4 ton with a 12ft trailer, he doesnt need a DOT number. Will you guys chill out.

Haha, ok. You have no idea what you're talking about. His combo is over 10,000#...do the math. It's obvious without knowing the GVWR of each unit.

Anyway, just giving Jaz some grief.... It's all about running a legit operation, isn't it??

[SNAPPER MAN]

Ya it all about running a legit operation. I guess things are way different here in Texas. The only people sporting DOT numbers are semi's. Tons of people here have F250's with 16ft trailers with no DOT numbers because they arnt needed. The highway patrol has bigger problems to deal with. Merry Chrismtas by the way lmao.

[nnj18]

ahaha thanx snapper man for the support, but do't mind him he's a waste of time.......DOT here is a joke and like you said has better things to worry about. Guys here pull D4 dozers with their F550s.....thats more of an issue.

[PerfectEarth]

No, they ARE needed. Just because you see what you see, doesn't make it legal. But I hear ya...I'll assume a lot of guys in TX have farm tags (just like a lot of guys here...which you're still not supposed to run a business on). I hope you and your family have a great day- and best of luck in 2009! I don't want to sidetrack his thread anymore. :waving:

Oh, I ramble on a lot?? Hahahahaha. Ok. At least my ramblings are honest....love ya Jaz!

[nnj18]

thanx...lol yah I'm probably going to add a 4th 8001 by this coming fall. overall this was a great year and am looking forward to even a better one! :waving:

[Scag413]

I am very impressed with your work man. To be 18 and already have 3 employees and so much work is something to be very proud of. Keep up the good work.

[Lawn Freak]

you got it! sometimes I have 4 guys working + myself so that 4th blower helps....or I may get a 13hp force blower. I'd like to get both :D lol but I have some other stuff I need before I go spending another $2k on stuff just used a few weeks per year...

My dad thought I was crazy because I bought 3 this year (had 2 EBZ8000s but started having some problems so I sold them for $750) , I told him just wait and see. After coming to one of my jobs he agreed that it was good planning and investment, I was like told you so lol

Hey Jared how DID you convince your parents on stuff like this when you were younger? Mine have pretty much realized that I'll do what I please anyways.

[nnj18]

I am very impressed with your work man. To be 18 and already have 3 employees and so much work is something to be very proud of. Keep up the good work.

thanx man!! :waving:

Hey Jared how DID you convince your parents on stuff like this when you were younger? Mine have pretty much realized that I'll do what I please anyways.

Um they've never come out and flat out said "NO", but that have questioned me and doubted some of my decisions. But now since I'm 18 and since I've never lost a dime on what I've bought (I buy/sell equipment on the side too), I guess I've proven that theres no need to question or argue with me about stuff. It is MY business and I do as I please basically. lol

[Lawn Freak]

That must've been nice. My parents always object to everything it seems like. But now I just pretty much buy what I want/need. The way I look at it is, it's my hard earned money and I should be able to spend it how I want it to be spent.

[nnj18]

yeppp, thats basically the way it should be....next time they argue with you ask them who made the money. Now of course if you think you're going to go buy that Ford dump or 16' trailer I'D tell you, you're CRAYZ. :hammerhead:

[Lawn Freak]

No I don't plan to buy another truck for probably 3-4 years. My current truck will do me fine for plenty of time.

[South Florida Lawns]

well lucky you guys i'm 24 and my mom still tells me what to do.

[nnj18]

lol that blowssss

[South Florida Lawns]

post pics of that new purchase!

[nnj18]

ok ok its dirty....I'll make a new thread?

Hey really nice stuff! What do you prefer, a stander or midmount Z I do residential/ commercial and a cemetary PITA but big $$$ I only want 1 mower so what would be the best choice.

[nnj18]

If you don't have to bag and have a lot of hills get a stander. Otherwise get a mid-mount 'cause the little 4cu ft baggers are a PITA. haha Personaly if I were you I'd buy one of each but used and it won't be much more then a new stander. That way in case one breaks down you have a backup.

And thanx! :waving:

I'd really like to buy a used stander and my buddy I work with wants a mid mount ztr so it would work out good. Thanks for the advice!

Do you still have the 3 redmaxes? And the 2 stihl blowers?

[nnj18]
