Nice set up, to say the least. Now if I could get that puter setup on my DC, I'd have it made. :D

[HOMER]

Everything looks good to me but........................what kind of mower is that and what do you mow with it!

Is that an equipment trailer with a tailgate added?

I have used mobile puter mounts for a few years now.
the setup used to mount it is made by gamber johnson
they specialize in mobile communication mounting equipment.
here is there address, http://www.gamberjohnson.com
it has pics of mounts and has a catalog you can look everything up in.
most of there products are used in police, fire, and similar vehicles.

Homer,
That unit is a hustler hillsider (6400)
you mow anything you want with it !!!!
if it can push it over it is coming down !!!
but it is made to mow hillsides primarily
cab and engine tilt into hill, and it is 6 wheel drive.
The trailer is made by moritz, it is a 5 ton equipment trailer with landscape ramps. I also have a wieght distribution hitch, so that baby tows great.

[HOMER]

I gotcha now, our Dept. of Liesure services has one they use to mow around the softball fields. I like the trailer because its lower to the ground(it appears) than my utility trailer. Your scrubbin' pretty. I like a clean setup and you have one. If I ever make enough to get a digi-camera I'll put some of my pic's on here!

Homer this guy is NOT a LCO.

He is a Hustler Mower salesman.

BTW real LCO's have greedy boards on their pickups.

[mowerconsultant]

I do not sell hustler mowers myself.
I used to.
I do work with hustler dealers.
And I do a good bit of mowing (demo work)
I was a LCO at one time........

[BUSHMASTER]

What's a greedy board stone?

[ant]

mowerconsultant: Nice set up! Have you used any other slope mowers? Is the Hustler 6400 easy to manuver? Will it stick to a hill as good as Hustler claims? Thanks

[chrisbolte]

what are the costs (initial and monthly) for the connection for the laptop.

[mowerconsultant]

Anthony, the gps system I use is for tracking and mapping, for travel use primarily, and plotting loacations when I travel.
You need to have a computer to use the program I am using.

Gene Gls, I have used all the brands out there execept the power trac unit, and I find in my experreince that the hustler is the easiest to use and most comfortable on the hillside, best traction too. (6 wheel drive)
As far as manuevering goes, it has a feature that lifts the outside sets of wheels and lets the unit pivot (zero turn) on the middle set of wheels.
It will stick to a hillside better than hustler claims.

Chrisbolte, When you say connection, do you mean mobile connection through the cell phone ?
if so, I bought a kit from motorola for my star tac phone, it was 100.00, pretty much for software and a cable that hooks to your serial port.
It turns your star tac into a modem, works ggreat, but kinda slow. I use my internet provider, just find the best number for where I am at the time, to dial into.
as far as the cell service goes, I use verizon wireless here in the northeast, and they charge a additional 6.95 a month to use data service. no extra charge other than the minutes you are using in your plan.

Greedy boards are made wood or steel mesh that increases the volume of the bed in your pickup.

I use them to hang trimmers, edgers, and can caddys.

It is a cheap way to increase the amount of clippings, thatch, or mulch you can carry.

My boards are old and completly shot. A carpenter friend
of mine is going to help me build a new set up next month.

I will be able to enclose the truck for security and with a
special tarp I already have I will be able to keep any fertilizer thats in the bed dry. There will be two pieces of plywood that are hinged to the sides so the truck will be open for ease of access to the equipment and closed when
security or rain is an issue.
