trucks look good next too each other have any idea what plow you will put on the chevy?
id like it to be red and have a chain lift :laugh: too bad western doesnt really have a nice plow for a 1/2 ton. but i think ill most likely go with a snow dogg v like jeremy's or a meyers. we will have to see what my money situation looks like at the end of the summer

gotcha you could put a western midweight on it probably be a tad heavier than a Meyer but it should be fine. The v would be nice for those big storms just gonna be a little rougher on your truck

hmm i didnt even consider that! i know that they have the smaller western plow that has a cylinder like a boss but i didnt know the midweight existed. I might go with that if i can get one for the right price! Id like the trucks to match. plus this plow has been really reliable

Out of curiosity, How big was the tree? What do you charge for such a clean up if you don't mind me asking? Pm if you want. Thanks

Nice size tree. I send those big trees to a tree service. By the time I cut it up and fill two p/u trucks and trailer and unload it, pay dumping fees I'd have to charge way more than a tree service.
yeah its bigger than i thought. but it still wasnt too bad. i rather do the work and make some money than have no work at all!

well there were a couple changes this past week. I sold the toro 44" and bought a hydro cub cadet 36". I will post a pic of it now but I will have more over the weekend after I start mowing. Work has been pouring in at a rate almost more than I can handle. I have already picked up roughly 10 new yards this year and the season has not even started :dizzy::dizzy: This should be a good year!

What do you find is the best way for you to get those customers? Fliers?
no ive never handed out fliers. I had a few WELL WRITTEN detailed ads on craigslist which said what I did and also pointed them to my website to see past work. That got the work flowing and I had to take them down because I was looking at too much work with school. My area is flooded with work even though there are a ton of landscape companies. Word of mouth has also been the best. I just landed a high paying wall job and an even better patio job from a current lawn client and a neighbor of a client. word of mouth is still the best but I will take whatever I can get
