Winter Project

[Lawn Tek]

Two weeks of setting arround and man I gotta do something . So , I built a 750 gal. Hydroseeder . Took arround 4 weeks . and yes I went over budget , {Valentines day will cost me } , but I still saved a bunch of money .

First Pic The beginning
Second & Third Finished Project

I made the wheels so they fold up so I can just roll it on my 18 ft trailer . :)

[Lawn Tek]

Finished:)

1 question. Will those little tires hold all that weight?

[Lawn Tek]

Now I need to go make some money

[rodfather]

You didn't mention what your budget was...care to fill us in? Nice looking rig though.

[Lawn Tek]

Hoss , great eye , The small fold up tires are just to load and off load the skid empty . No they would not hold at all loaded . :)

[65hoss]

Oh, I thought it was a trailer you built to pull it with the truck to jobsites. Thought about just putting axles under it and pulling it?

[Henry]

You've got about 6500 lb. riding on what looks like wheelbarrow wheels. And I hope your 18' trailer is low because I think your gonna bottom out.

[Gravely_Man]

That is a sweet looking creation. Please let us know how it works out and get some pictures of it in action.

Lawn Tek - Kerry,

WOW dude that looks great. I think you have way too much time on your hands. Let us know how it works.

Now its time you build a mower that will work on hills.......hahaha :D

[Lawn Tek]

Hoss , yea I thought about a set of axles , but you have to haul bales of mulch , seed , fert to the job . So I have a 18 foot trailer
already , so I will just roll it on that .

Henry , no I don't have 6500 pounds riding on what looks like wheel barrow wheels . It rides empty up and down my trailer ramp . And also it does not hang up at all I got a 2 foot dovetail on my trailer . and like I said earlier the wheels fold up and down:)

[roscioli]

That looks excellent.. very professional. I know someone else asked and you didnt answer, but feel free to share the cost! Good job on it!

Gotcha. It looks really good.

Rod father . It started out 2200. I had this money stashed away from an earlier family deal , wife said you could use that to build your hydroseeder , enuff said ! Now I havent totaled all the invoices yet but Its gonna be between 3 to 3500 . Those big plumbing fittings , valves etc are real expensive . not to mention a 4 inch trash pump .:)

[rodfather]

Not to mention 4 weeks of your own time. How much do you think you saved building it yourself?

That's the key.:D Good Luck with it.

[PR0 TURF]

Very nice setup. Did you have plans to work off of?...or was it all from just seeing other models? Nice work...let us know how it all works

:blob3:

[Lawn Tek]

Pro Turf .no plans just looked at whats out there .


Rod Father , models like mine go for arround 10 k

[lawncare3]

Real nice setup I wish i had 1

Looks good Lawntek!! When I use to work for a landscape company in the late 80's we did a lot of hydro-seeding. We rarely used our tower though. The only time I remember using it was when installed a golf course. If you ever need to use it I guess you'll have it. I am sure you hydro seeder will make you some money.

Great Job! we will probably see you on Monster Garage Next. Can you get me Jesse's Autograph?

[lawnworker]

Man, that looks great. You did a excellent job. Let us know how it works this year.

[Henry]

Well then I have to say you did a great job.

[worthbrown]

Nice job. I have a 600 gal hydroseeder with smaller pump and engine. Paid $5000. I make money even paying $5000, you will do really well at $3500, with a larger tank no less.
