Now that I've picked up a large commercial account, I plan to purchase my first backpack blower (probably the Stihl BR400). For s/m residentials, the handhelds have been just fine but now I'm going to need the added power.
Back to topic, the added piece of equipment coupled with my already expensive, and fairly new, Stihl stick-edger & trimmer, has got me thinking of better ways to protect my investments. I've been looking at the Gear Caddy by Jungle Jim and can order that through my local dealer. The list price on this baby, from Jungle Jim's menu, is a whopping $289.95. They had it on sale for $215.00 until December 31st, but I missed that boat.
My questions are, is the caddy worth $300.00? Their trimmer racks alone are nearly $200. Do they normally sale that high, or are discounts easy to find? Finally, how difficult is assembly? I have a 6.5x12 foot flatbed trailer with round metal guard rails. Will it work for me?
