nice stuff!

[Junior M]

Nice trucks!

Why did you choose a metal floor trailer, I've always disliked them because you put a bucket on them and they slide all over like there on ice..

[newlooklandscp]

This will be my first steel deck floor. Gonna try it out, if it is slippery Ill Rhino it, like I do everything else lol. I was just sick of replacing the wood floors every few years.

[duke99]

someone got a good deal on whelen mini liberty bars

[STIHL GUY]

nice looking trucks

[murrayslandscaping22]

man you got a nice set up here they are some sweet looking trucks

[RedMax Man]

looks like everything was bought yesterday. all nice and clean.

"snow relocation" very professional and educated sounding haha

[buffalonick]

Your trucks and trailers look real clean, i like it

[Jayson_109]

Nice Nice... gotta love the Fords! Noticed that you upgraded the 06' mirrors to the 08' model! that must have been a little salty??? Think I was told one time that it was like $600 or so??? sure looks good tho!

How do you like your wells cargo? I've been looking between wells and a Pace, but can't decide... How bout some pics of the Wrights! Standers I persume?!?!?!?

I agree with Micah (Redmax Man)... very clean... and very professional and educated
sounding... even kinda sounds funny... well us saying that. Everything looks great, I'll be looking for more to come!

[OrangeToys]

Nice Pickups, but where is all the working pics and equipment at?

[LR3]

Badass man! I love it. I am looking forward to the day of getting my second set of everything so that I can give what I have now to a second crew. Where did you get the poly half fenders for the 550? I need some for this winters plowing and can only find SS and aluminum.

[2brothersyardcare]

a awesome y dont u get stake body's?

[Collegepro]

Hello Money bags!!

[scagtiger]

nice trucks! how are the 6.4s doing for ya? we have a 6.0 f450 and lookin at getting a new 550 dump

[Junior M]

a awesome y dont u get stake body's?
why stake bodys?

They both work, its just personal preference. Imo, the stake bodys are uglier than sin..

[old oak lawn]

a awesome y dont u get stake body's?

All looks very good, very professional. I was also wondering why not 12 foot stake body's, the ones you have look like 8 ft. contractors dump? There is a company in my area that has the same dump body as you and they have 8 of them i think. Not putting them down just wondering why. thanks

[joef450snowplow]

nice trucks is that mack yours

[MileHigh]

I love it...:drinkup:

[Lawn Freak]

Looks good. I bet it looks pretty when all the trucks are at one place with the lights on haha

[2brothersyardcare]

i was thinking because you can put more crap in them and you can take them off to plow thats why i was wondering

[grassman177]

very clean, and of course that goes with your name. also, snow relocation, a job i never want.

[newlooklandscp]

looks like everything was bought yesterday. all nice and clean.

"snow relocation" very professional and educated sounding haha

That is that University of IL Edumacation working right there lol

[newlooklandscp]

The upgrade wasn't terrible. I have a friend lol. I looked a trailers and researched for ever. My final decision was the Wells due to the dealer service, and since I have seen brickman, acres, etc using them for 10-15 years at a time when they have employees that dont care, I figured mine would last until I die. The trailer was expensive tho ..... out the door with that just over $8200.00

I will try to take some pictures of the inside of the Wells Setup and yes of coarse wright standers it is.

Everything gets washed every other Saturday by two of my laborers. Trucks, Trailers, Mowers, and even the handhelds. Takes two guys about 8hrs.

I got them from AutoTruck Group, the company that built my trucks. I will look into the make/model and get back to you. Send me a pm to remind me. I want to say they run about $550 installed but you can install them yourself if you have a big enough drill lol

[newlooklandscp]

why stake bodys?

They both work, its just personal preference. Imo, the stake bodys are uglier than sin..

The dumps are fold down sides, the steel angle is only held on by a pin, they remove the pin, the side and then fold down the body. Plus I like the look of these dumps better.

The 6.4s are nice, quiet, strong, but suck the fuel. F450 - 6.5mpg, F550 - 6.1mpg, and the new F350 (Black) - 11.5mpg. The 6.0L gets about 13-14mpg. I like them, the earliest motor I got had a few re-programming issues and I dropped the trans in that truck at 5,600 miles (F450). Other than that I like them, easy to maintain but I cant stand the exhaust cleaning bs, you lose tons of hp when on the road.

[J&R Landscaping]

Nice fleet!!

[Marek]

Glade my new 450 is a v 10 . Nice looking trucks.

[murrayslandscaping22]

nice fleet any updates?

[mowerdude777]

Sweet trucks

[Z-master man]

Any updates? Really would like some equipment pic's...

[newlooklandscp]

some updates. Another wells cargo trailer, same as the one I have now .... so a twin. I also added this truck before winter. Since then I have tinted the windows, new chrome bumper, headlights, and I just had the slanted steel sides added and painted the other day so I will get new pictures up asap.

[KrayzKajun]

i love the fleet of fords!! hope to adda F750 dump this fall if this new home builder keeps me busy!

[bobcat48]

Looks good,nice trucks.

[JFGauvreau]

Sweet trucks man, keep the pics coming!

[MLAWCARE]

Very nice fleet of Fords!!

[JRP LLC]

I'm not a Ford guy but those new trucks pulling the wells look great.

[M RASCOE&SONS]

looks real good.

[SIWEL]

I love the set up you have there... trucks look great and pictures of whats inside the trailers?

[newlooklandscp]

I will try to get some pictures up early this week. Looking to get rid of (2) standers and replace them with Wright ZK's

[Oakleaf landscape]

The wright ZK's are an excellent choice. Built like a tank and mow like a champ. Love mine, wouldn't trade them for anything.

[Graveslawncare]

GOOD GRIEF!!! You must make friggin' bank! How on earth do you afford all that brand new equipment, at one time, AND afford 6 mpg???!!! Everything looks great man don't get me wrong, I just cant get past thinking about all the overhead lol

[olaf valle]

I will try to get some pictures up early this week. Looking to get rid of (2) standers and replace them with Wright ZK's

I'm looking for a 52. Let me know when you are going to sell them I'm in bensenville.

[SchnabelLawnCare]

I will try to get some pictures up early this week. Looking to get rid of (2) standers and replace them with Wright ZK's

Please let me know the specs hours pics etc. Very interested if it is the right deck size choice. JPSchnabel@comcast.net

[newlooklandscp]

I have (2) Standers right now #3 and #4

#3 - 4 years old 1300 hrs, motor is getting rebuilt as we speak, 23 hp with heavy duty air kit, 52" Deck, new rear tires, just put 3 new spindles on plus all new belts on last week, flat free soft foam front tires, under deck baffle kit, side discharge flap.

#4 - 3 years old 1200 hrs, 19hp with heavy duty air kit, 52" Deck, new rear tires, brand new clutch last week with new belts, flat free soft foam front tires, under deck baffle kit, side discharge flap.

Both are in good shape, no deck cracks or problems, overall when they are washed they look great, just getting older and the amount of time we spend on them are beating the up with break downs now and my routes are so tight I can afford machine down time. Im waiting on demo prices on 2 ZK's so if I can swing it I would like to sell the ones I have. But if I cant I will wait till next year to get new mowers.

I will get some pics of everything asap.

[newlooklandscp]

ALOT of overhead. Most of the time the work just keeps coming in but sometimes you have to make it come in. But it is getting bad around here, I keep telling everyone ... I only do landscaping to keep my snow customers happy. If the trend of pricing keeps going the way it is we will all be working for free.

[newlooklandscp]

The wright ZK's are an excellent choice. Built like a tank and mow like a champ. Love mine, wouldn't trade them for anything.

That is good to hear. There are not many out over here at all right now. I was also looking into the scag v ride but they are new and no one has one either. The toro is way over priced now and the regular stander is just not big/tough enough anymore for the sites I have

[oakwdman]

This is a picture thread. We need new pictures!
lol

[newlooklandscp]

Kiss me ..... well you get the picture. haha Love, Ken

[Jayson_109]

Just a quick question or 2 for you then one out there for the ZK lovers.

I also need to rebuild my 23hp Kaw and curious how much that is going to run. Doing yourself? I've looked around a few places and what I've been given the price of a new engine is only like $200- 250 away from parts alone.

ZK related... anyone running a 52"? and is that what you are looking at purchasing? Still undecided on just the RH model stander or just go all out for a ZK. The RH just can't hold the hill like a ZK, and speed and engine size blows it away. I have demoed a 61", but its not what I need to replace right now so give some reviews on a 52" please.

Thanks
Jason

The RH model sucks. The rebuild is about $810 in parts. I can do it myself but I gave it to the mechanic that does most of my stuff an he said about 3hrs in labor. I would like so ZK feed back as well.

[M.A.Landscaping]

you have some really nice looking trucks!

[Jayson_109]

For your Wright parts do you go to Russo? I'm thinkin' that Franklin Park is around Chicagoland. I really need to make a trip up there to see. At least that is what I've been told. I know of a company that out of Indy area that deals with them on all their Wright products. Even tho we "have" a dealer in Indy.

Russo's is about 3 minutes from my yard/shop. They mostly have everything in stock all the time but if they need to order it, it takes about 2 days to get it in. They are the cheapest for me at least but I do buy a lot of stuff from them.

[bobcat48]

Wow real nice.

[Jelinek61]

Very impressive fleet you got yourself. Which trailer do you like better the haulmark or the wells cargo?

[newlooklandscp]

Very impressive fleet you got yourself. Which trailer do you like better the haulmark or the wells cargo?

The Wells for sure at this point in time. The Haulmark was a great trailer for a starter and smaller company were, I myself, was working out of it daily and watching it making sure things werent getting broken. But it is just not built to be used by a crew and beat to death.

The Wells on the other hand, is built like a tank. Wells put a lot of thought into it to make it idiot and break proof, if you know were Im going with this point .... lol

Haha, for sure. Not meant for the guys who don't give a crap. A company I work for sometimes has three Haulmarks. One 22' used for landscaping and 2 16', one for fertilizer and one for aerating and overseeding. They're nice trailers but the ramp on the back of the 22 footer sees a lot of abuse from things like a pipe puller and little JD 2520 tractor. Its been in the shop a few times for things like the flip over ramp coming off and a cable breaking a couple times. I just wanted to get a comparison between the two from someone who has both. Thanks

[lawnpropm]

Hey man nice looking fleet and that's hard for me to say being a chevy man but i gotta give props when due lol.

[lawnpropm]

The black at the bottom of your trailer what type of paint is that and did you do it yourself or did you take it to an autobody shop.
Posted via Mobile Device

[oakwdman]

I believe its actually a different color skin.

[lawnpropm]

Oh almost the same material as the graphics, your company name. Some kind of vinyl i believe. You ever thought of add bullets like a list of services on that part of the trailer?

It is actually a seamed black skin, I ordered it from Wells that way. My trailers are all custom ordered, no run of the mill stuff here.

As far as the bullets, no way. The services types are listed on the side of the trailer ..... land development - maintenance - snow relocation.

Simple, Clean, Profession. I cant stand seeing trailers with a list of crap all over it, a landscape does landscaping stuff right? No need to list it, plus you cant read it fast enough as the truck drives by. I have even begun removing the phone numbers off the trucks and trailers. References here or if you see us come up to one of the crews and they will lead you in the right direction.

[newlooklandscp]

Wow real nice.

Thank you thank you. Tinley Park a bit south for me but you may see us in Bridgeview lol

[lawnpropm]

Wow not sure about removing the phone numbers lol you buts must be putting down 50 hr work weeks. The reason I asked about the bullets is bc I get numerous calls asking do I service yards or do I landscape, and my co name is Lawn Pro Property Maintenance. I thought it speaks for itself. I see what you're sayi.g a out to much crap for people to read.

[The LawnRanger]

2010 Isuzu diesel 4 door 5.2 liter going to have business logo put on door tomorrow

[newlooklandscp]

very nice. no one around here really uses trucks like that. everyone is a truck and trailer. dump or pickup/open or closed.
