Hey! that guy in the red truck just drove away with a roll of your trimmer line!!!!!!!............... What no gas cans???? How you going to fuel all that equipment???:D
Seriously, Nice Set-up!

Profitable mowing to ya this year!

I think what everybody is saying is that it would be safer if you turned your hitch over. The trailer should pull level. I like the shelves inside, everything has it's own place. How long is the trailer by the way?

If you notice the size tires i have on this truck that is the reason for the lift in the hitch the truck calls for 275r15 but to help with the pulling power i'm running 235r15. This is only a F150 and as most of you know not really the right truck for a 8*18 ft trailer with a load like this. I will get a picture later today with everything loaded to show you how it sets. My truck also has a kn airfilter and flowmaster exaust i can pull this trailer loaded down the interstate in overdrive and it only turns 2000 rpm not bad for a little 351.
Lookin' good there, bobbyb! :D
Have a great season!

Bobby, I'm not trying to be "naysayer", but your transmission will last a lot longer if you keep it out of overdrive when pulling your trailer. Experience talking here............Lynn

A transmission cooler would be a good idea too. BTW, has the K&N and Flowmasters helped with performance and fuel economy? Without pulling trailer that is. Been thinking of putting this same set up on one of my Bronco's.

Toslc the echo stick edger is the only type i have ever used so i can't compare it to anything but i know it does a awsome job this will be the thrid season for it no brake downs what so ever. AVRECON my truck has a trans cooler on it i have always thought about going to a larger aftermarket cooler just have never got around to it I got about a 2mpg improvement with the kn filter and flowmaster ext. I'm a lead foot from way back wish i still had my 71 couger i believe my truck would give it a run for it's money. gorrell if idon't let this truck go in to overdrive she's pushing 3 grand on the tack at 65 mph. It doen't get drove on the interstate to often only when the mowers come out and the dirtbikes go in for a weekend get away.
What no gas cans???? How you going to fuel all that equipment??? I could be wrong, but isn't that a gas tank in front of the trimmers (to the right of the sidedoor on the bottom)?
By the way, great pics:)

0ryan0 You are right the box were the can is holds 2 5 gallon jugs the smaller box in front holds 1 2 and 1/2 gallon mix jug then the box in front of thats holds trimmer line with a small section for cutters and 2 stroke mix
I see the trailer does level out when loaded................... looked a little lethal in the 1st pics...............(sway,sway,sway your trailer gently down the, OH!@#$+= I'm on my lid in the median)
Correct me if I'm wrong 235-vs-275 only applies to the width of the tire,(235 narrower than the 275) thereby the overall ride height is the same. I'd consider an add-a-leaf.
I'm with ya on the dirtbikes!!!! CR250 here.
Not trying to AIR anyone out...... just shine a little light on the situation.
Oh yeah! the gas cans....ha,ha
Have a good one!
Dont know but it appears that their's a rise in the drive about where the equipment is setting and then the drive drops off at the front of the truck and at the back of the trailer elevating the hitch. or is it level on the drive. Looks as if you took the loaded picture in a level parking lot. I like that tiger it looks just like my 2.

Looks like you need a Bigger Truck. A Black colored Truck would look nice. (my 2 cents)

Nice setup Bobby,your rig sits perfect whe its loaded down,perfectly level.It sounds like you have 4.10 gearing from the 2000 at 65 mph,thi no doubt helps with the pulling power.I like how organized everything is in the trailer,not much can fly around and hurt itself.

Rodney with the 4 wheel electric brakes on the trailer it's not a problem to stop . stslawncare i will get some pictures to you sometime this weekend. jjhon I'm hoping the boss "my wife " will let me order the new F350 cab and chassi once the season gets rolling good. Thinks everyone for the good commints makes a guy fell good later, Bobby

Bobby- Nice setup. I can't quite see the mower deck size..what size is it?
Also, in the big truck trailer photo I see that the front of the truck is still up in the air some. For that size trailer i would definately recommend a set of snap-ups. If you don't know these are bars that attach from the hitch to the trailer tongue and distribute the weight. These really make a big difference with the feeling of bobbing (no pun intended) up and down when going over bumps. I think it helps swaying as well. This is really important when using a truck that is too small..like I do.
Without the snap-ups I sometimes feel my wheel jack hit the pavement when going over dips in the road etc. With the snap-ups no problem.
Everyone should check into them.

Shadetree... nice rigs, how do ya like the Wells? I just picked one up myself.

Shadetree-
You're obviously brand particular :rolleyes:
LOL... I don't know of many people that have 3 different brands. 2, yeah, but not 3. There is nothing wrong with it, they're all good looking trucks, but kinda funny. It seems like most people get a brand an stick to their guns....
Nice rigs, guys!
I'm ashamed to post my pics, so I won't :D
Later,
Eric
