OK I bought a 2014 permagreen triumph and the first year it had some problems but they warranted all problems. This year it is running great and no problems. I also got it because I have a 2500hd GMC and put a b and b rack on the back and works awesome. The rack saves me a hour a day vs pulling a trailer. A LT rich is just to heavy for my setup. So to get to the point I kinda like the triumph now and was thinking getting another then priced the 2015 and was floored by the new price. 8499 that's a 1100 dollar increase. So thinking about a ground logic now. Anyone have any thoughts.

I just went from a permagreen magnum to a z spray.

Best decision I've ever made. I agree that the hitch rack is nice and it was a concern of mine as well. That concern was overcome after about an hour of using the z spray.

When I can afford a 3500 box truck then I will get a zspray. I am super small for a fert and squirt company. 600 accounts only. Till then a rackable machine on my only truck will have to do.

It is 581 to be exact. 600 sounds better though lol. Round one is easy in Pennsylvania as there is no spraying weeds. Just barricade and fertilizer. So 40 lawns in a day is doable. Round 2 is much slower.

Man paper work is the most time consuming part of lawn applications. I use Clip and haven't properly setup the chemical side with that program yet. I will THIS Winter. Right now I print a route sheet with the EPA registration number of the products I am using for the day on it. Then fill in at each stop how much product I used at each stop in the address block. Next year I will work with clip to cut down my time filling out paperwork.

I would like to cut my paperwork load to 2 minutes each stop then I would be good to go

With you on filling out app records. Paperwork is a killer.

Wow. A GL is a better machine than a Triumph anyway. Rod C on here sold me one for $7k flat to my door.

Is financing available on those? I'm looking at a couple used Perma Greens but really just wanna get a new Ground Logic. Did you get the spray bar and the spot spray wand?

Just bought one. My dad who is also in this business as well as a golf course super for 35 years also only uses GL. He loves his. To each his own kind of thing really. I've used Z's, PG's, GL's and Turfco. I choose Ground Logic. The only way to know for sure is to have a demo come out and test one.

We have a Triumph from last year and a GL we bought earlier this year. Honestly it boils down to personal preference. I take the PG while my tech takes the GL. He loves the GL and I'm the same with my PG. they're both good machines and get the job done. I will be looking at a Z later on mainly because of the volume it puts out as opposed to the ones we have.

I looked at the new model before buying the GL earlier, yeah the redesigned hopper is nice but I've had several problems with my PG, including them replacing the engine and pump assembly, and with the down time I had because of it I chose to go with a GL mainly because we can do all of our warranty work in. There won't be 1-2 week down time with the GL. PG was good about fixing everything that broke but the warranty shop here for them always dragged butt and took forever.
