Hey guys & gals,
Brian here with Shaney's finally making a thread for all the 2012 work, it will be slow going at first. This spring/early summer we are starting it off with 5 new lawn installs,3 all new landscapes, a lot of little freshening up jobs such as new mulch or just some added stone. Along with this we still have 2 full days of mowing and a half day every other week. Also 5 times a year 9 full days a using that wonderfull applicators license this state makes us get. This thread will be developing, from stripes, to landscapes, the progressing lawns, 2 ponds, and an occasional surprise. I have no idea what this will include but I'm sure I can think of somthing.
Have a good summer look forward to talking to you all and getting to know you!!!!

It happens to have become a rainy day .
Picture #1, Is the Kubota on the F-350 This was taken just leaving the shop
Picture #2 Is the Deere 925A, x340, and wg32 hiding behind that, This was taken after just arriving at a clients house to mow.
So here is the only pictures I found but as soon as we go back to mowing (Tuesday after memorial day) I will take a picture of the mowers trailers, and trucks.
Here is my favorite account, we are just waiting upon approval of changing the landscaping around front sign. Property was core aerated and over seeded last fall, it was getting a little thin. I think its looking pretty good!!!
What do you guys think!
Thanks, the website was about a 2 month project during this terrible winter we had. But I have not been able to get the webstore up and running yet, its going to be for selling T-shirts, and sweatshirts stuff like that. The community I am in stands around company's that give back. I like to donate items to fundraisers and raffles all the time its probably one of the best advertisements.
I love my 6.0, problems 2 injectors went out on me, but I know that engine inside and out so it took me about 3 hours to get them out and about 2 more to put it all back together. And go figure one injector on each side. lol but all fixed and runs amazing.

The welder and some big flat washers might have been added to the egr but shhhhhh , I did pull the cab when I welded the egr up, didnt want to worry about stupid head bolts, they are now arp head studs. This is also why I love the 6.0 it only costs about $680 if you know how to do everything your self to make the engine last forever, head studs are $465, egr delete (my way is about $3.00) and the tuner to get ride of the egr code was $215. But any shop would be like $2500......so not worth it
Also I never worked on them at a shop but, when I was younger I worked on a farm where we fixed the 7.3's all the time so I like to tinker. My philosophy if you can take a bolt out you can put it back in.
What I dont even understand is they had to drive through the blaze orange flagging tape, ran over a wooden stake, and the exit/entrance is about 20' to the left......UGH
Amazing news in an email after seeing those tire tracks earlier today. We will be doing all the prep work for a 18000 sq ft lawn that will be sodded. This is on the schedule for June 7th! Also on Tuesday, we will be finishing up an 11,000 sq ft lawn that has 2 duplexes on it. and after that, on Thursday we will be putting in 2 lawn areas around 2 ponds which is about 16,000 sq ft. And following this will be a few small landscape jobs, oh and one large landscape, also during this time a crew will be out mowing and taking new pictures of all the properties we maintain. Following all of this will be a 37,000 sq ft lawn we will be maintaining after it comes in. Oh, I almost forgot, sometime in there we also have 2 walkways to put in 2 fences, and 1 large patio.
Some stripes from the first cutting this spring I found, this cut as first cut with 925a, then bagged by the x340 which for an unknown reason pulled that brown stripe up , the 925 cut at 3.5 then the x340 did a 2.75 which is my final heigth then the 925 which cuts much better went over it one last time with a clean up pass
These two are of a lawn we recieved this spring and when we first got to them they were nothing but weeds. This has gotten one weed controll treatment along with crab grass preventor on the long straight section. The other larger portion will be treated with momentum Q if and crab grass decides to show up. This was what the client requested. So what the client wants the client gets.
The X340 is a good mower, its primary use is a snow blower in the winter, and spring dethatchings. it has I believe 350-400. If you are looking to upgrade go to the X500 series, it is a much better mower, the chasis is a million times better. But the only reason I keep getting one is for weight concerns in some locations at one account if it hasnt rained even for 2 weeks and we get 1/4" of rain you can not even walk acrossed it with out it feeling spongey like. The x340 floats right acrost it.
