Wait until you see this

I was driving the other night close to dark and it was raining very hard. Look what drives beside me. I had to take a pic with my camera phone at a stoplight. My wife was mad that I took the pic, but I was like I have to. This is crazy. I love how the spreader is upside down on the mower seat. Sorry pic isn't better. I was I had an actual camera and the rain didn't help.

[thu cutting edge]

got to love it i like how the trailer is extended with plywood

[SC Irrigator]

we all better watch out now......he might put us out of business lol

[DRBLawnBuster]

HAHA that is great, first why is the push mower in the box lol, second he did a weird extend job on the floor of trailer, and he just needs a bigger trailer.

[deere615]

HA that is a great picture!

[mowerdude777]

why is the 21 in a box lol

[jg244888]

mabe he just bought it and its for his own home?

[Lawn Freak]

He's got a slick operation going there haha

[PLS-Tx]

Whats so funny, maybe it's just a man trying to put some food on the table.

[chrissmart123]

could have at least put the spreader in the back of the bronco?

[KCfireman]

Hey guys, I know it's not much but I had to start out with something!

[riverwalklandscaping]

someone just robbed a sears

[whoopassonthebluegrass]

That's awesome. I love how much class there is in this industry. :laugh::laugh::laugh:

[stroker51]

Haha, thats funny. At least it looks like his lights on the trailer work. We were mowing on the University of Kansas campus Tuesday, doing a bunch of rental properties I take care of and two doors down from us was an older guy and his slightly overweight kid mowing 18" tall grass with a 30" Craftsman rear engine rider and el junko 21", in the time we unloaded my Z, mowed trimmed blew off and loaded back up the kid had killed the mower three times, and daddy had took back over mowing. I have one other job a block away, can still see the yard they were on, got it mowed and left they were still there. I only hope that the guys mowing might have been the owners of the property, cuz if they are getting paid someone is getting ripped off. Oh well, as long as he wasnt spreading any kind of pesticide with that spreader, maybe someday he will work his way up to a real rig.

[2brothersyardcare]

dont make fun of my rig

[HappyGrasslawncare]

could have at least put the spreader in the back of the bronco?

[LewisLawn]

i wish i had my camera with me last night...walking home from the neighbors i was passed by a late 80's monte carlo with the trunk open and in it was not a push mower but a craftsman riding lawnmower...i'd like to see the guy or guys that lift that in and out of the trunk.....

[EagleGrounds]

haha thats like the pic i stoped in the middle of the road and threw it into reverse the other day to go back and look!

I had his handhelds on the passenger seat with a cub cadet residential ztr. lol.

Whats so funny, maybe it's just a man trying to put some food on the table.

Yeah, you are right. He is probably just trying to make a living like the rest of us. He probably is just getting started and that is all he can afford or maybe he is just moving for all we know. It might just be that he happens to be moving all his lawn equipment when I saw him.

[Jimslawncareservice]

what i dont get is people loose thier job take thier life savings and go buy lawn equipment then have to hussle like crap to put food on the table. weather thats the case with this guy or not.

I have seen several people do it and loose everything. I know people did that this winter because of all the calls i got in the end of dec. when thier guy was no where to be found.
I aslo shake my head when guys go buy a 5k plow to do 10 drives at 20 bucks Just to (make extra money). 200 per snow x 11 pushes we had this year = 2200 we had 11 or 12 last year and 8 the year before. It takes them 3 years just to pay for the plow beside the cost of fuel and repairs.

[fl-landscapes]

mabe he just bought it and its for his own home?

Thats what I was thinking. Lets hope so.

[mowerdude777]

Lets just leave him alone he is trying to make a living any way

[Toy2]

Whats so funny, maybe it's just a man trying to put some food on the table.


WTF, idiot should consider all other people on the road, that crap falls off and causes a major accident all to get food on the table????

Doubt it, just a freckin' loser.............$15.00 a yard.........welfare next time.........stay off my roads.....

[MileHigh]

o wait...

that's the guy I sub all my crap to.

[Runner]

It is obvious all that stuff is brand new and hasn't even been used, yet. He is probably on his way home to let his Sears credit card cool down. Whether it is for his own home (probably) or for an "instant lawn service" remains to be seen. I cn't believe how defensive some of you guys get when you see stuff like this - thinking the worst. Now THAT'S the part that is funny!
When you are in a business that includes an operation(s) that any moron, including the 8 year old kid down the street can do, you have to expect to see much of this "entry level" stuff.

[George Mason]

I can't believe how defensive some of you guys get when you see stuff like this - thinking the worst. Now THAT'S the part that is funny!

Ditto that! I hate to chime in on personal things but man, aren't we a little sensitive? My grandfather is a master farmer and he has always extended the bed of his old flatbed trucks with plywood to haul more hay and he has NEVER lost one bail! I was driving down I64 last year and there were some young "pros" with their brand new set up, nice goose-neck and all, and people were serving left and right to avoid the fifty or so bails that were out on the interstate. He just shook his head and asked me if we should stop and help them get it up.:laugh:

I am all for the nice set up, they look good, they look professional, some are really cool to see, but since we did being humble become such a foul and especially in a self-admittedly "conservative" industry (refer to your free magazines from the industry and owners of this board for references, I am not going to go cite pages.) A hack is a hack, but judging a book by it's cover and being so harsh on a man for working just isn't right.

[bd44]

I just cleaned out my in-laws shed. Seriously, you don't know what the guys doing; if he's working, good for him. He could be at your house stealing your stuff.

[93Chevy]

could have at least put the spreader in the back of the bronco?

Looks like the back of an old 'burb to me...could be wrong...

[BGClawns101]

ok just to make sure you guys know me and Eagle Grounds live right by eachother and went to school together and i saw this guy another day and he was mowing a different house it was funny i think he is just trying to put food on the table. I kinda feel bad for him.
