I keep coming back to wanting one of these type trucks. What size and how many mowers do you carry on the back? Can you get 2 60" xtr's up there?

yes if you turn them sideways. the 60s are probably 61"-62" wide with the chute up. so they'll fit

Is the price going up once you get it out the shop? Nice looking truck are you selling bc of the electrical issues or just got something newer?

well, kinda. the electrical issue frustrated me to the point of buying a new one. sounds crazy right!!

i done the loan/paper work for a new one last week. i haven't technically bought a new one yet. will probably change my mind once i go to the dealership friday and see that big $54,000 headache on paper.

i am mainly thinking about going back to an enclosed trailer. which is 80% of the reason i'm selling. the landscape truck is costing me about $550/month to operate (gas, storage, insurance). i bought it with the idea that it would make me 'more' money. instead, it's shaved $6600 off of my yearly gross

price will stay the same....

UPDATE: truck is fixed (or will be in the morning). shop said that i had a "frayed wire in the cab wiring harness" and was certain that this would fix the electrical issue

Wow!!!! $54 g's. Imagine how much that will shave off your gross. The payments alone will be more that $550 a month. But hey we all need write offs. Will you be driving the truck around to see if the problem has been fixed?
