Also love the Dodge... Own Fords now, But my 91 Dodge Ram 250 was the best truck I've ever owned. Good luck with the rebuild.

That truck was my dads, he passed away June 1 2008 only a few months after I came home from active duty. He left me the truck, so far I have redone both front and rear brakes ran new lines and all. I've also done plugs wires cap rotor oil filter coolent new top end gasket on 316 thats in it. I even have redone the factory hydo pump that runs off the belt took me almost 3 months to find out how the system works. the truck came from factory with a second power steering pump that is what runs the plow its a pretty slick set up. so that system has a new pump new lines resevor sanded and painted the 7.5 plow got an 8' to put on also. The bad is the floor is rotted out and we are having title issues my mom cant find the title and they wont issue her another one because my dad passed away and in Ohio he could only leave her 2 vehicles and it would be the 3rd one. but we are working on it. most people ask me why have I put some much money into it. As a kid growing up I spent hundreds of Hrs pushing snow with my dad in that truck and i wont get of it. I would get rid of my house car everything I own and live on the street before I get rid of that truck.

Thanks to everyone who has checked out this thread I'll keep it updated as much as I can and I hope to keep getting feedback from others.

God Bless

Thanks for all the pros and cons of my items. I read this site almost everyday and take many ideas and consider them for my business. The $30 price on the door hanger is just one of the prices I use for a few sub-divisions around me. I make all of my door hangers at home, everything from printing to cutting even putting the hole and slit in to place on the doors. I like the look of being able to put a price already on the door there is no need for me to come back and figure out the price if it is already there for them.

The name I came up with myself and I though it was pretty catchy I talked it over with friends and family and everyone that I have asked liked it that is why I went with it. You always see the names A cut above, Sharp Edge, there is a bunch of name that are used all over the place but I have never found another one named the same as mine.

As for snow removal/snow relocation that is just a technicality because if you are loading up the snow and moving it to a different location you are still just "relocating" it. But when you think about it if i am taking it off of the drive way and pushing it into the yard your still removing it from there driveway.

Mowing some might have to be down with a push mower but i have a 36" wbm, and also have a 60ztm so its not really pushing the mowers its like walking with the mower. But when I think about it when I use my tractor to do driveways I use the back box so I'm pulling the snow, oh well ill keep my name and keep driving foward with the service that i provide. thanks for your comments

Nice to see a local guy. What areas do you service? Looks like your off to a good start, dont let anyone put you down... What kind of mower is that? Do you have any hand healds (trimmers, blowers, ect). Any pics of the jeep? If you have any questions, i will anwser them to the best of my knowledge. Also, about the $30 mows, like others said make sure you put up to _____ sq ft. Or some one may come along, and screw you...

Check out our set up... Maybe we will see eachother around...

Yeah I havn't seen to many people from around here on here. I am from the Perrysburg area. I'm trying to keep my business for now in the Perrysburg, Rossford, Stony Ridge, moving down To BG just a little bit. Where do you get most of your lawns. I am also tryin to stay with the houses vs. business, most people seem to not want to do them so I am having a pretty good market so far. As for a list of equipment

2000 Jeep XJ
5X8 trailer with trimmer rack on front
2-Maruyama trimmers (1 strait, 1 curve shart)
1 lawnboy 21" sp push mower
1 36" lesco belt drive wbm (with bagger)
1 60" exmark ztm
cheep blower
need to buy a edger

everything is paid off except the jeep that is my pov so I dont really count it against my business, My business insurance including a 1,000,000 libality coverage is less that what i was payin for just the jeep it also covers 8000 in equipment, full coverage on the jeep and 1000 for the trailer pretty good deal. so when I am looking at profit vs. loss I dont count the insurance or jeep payment because I would be paying that much anyways lol

here are some pics of my driveway i was putting new stones down.... also some coldpatch in some potholes. I also took some pics of the 36" and some lines when i was just messing around in my yard.

OH yeah a flyer that I hang up at the local military bases I know some people are going to rip me a new one on them so Bring It On!
