- We are a local lawn and landscaping company based out of Freeburg IL. Family owned/operated and started from the ground up. My brother (Nic) and I (Alex) are doing our best to build a company we will be happy to work in. It has been an adventure and a struggle at times but I wouldn’t trade it for the world! We began our journey on youtube to document our company history and we would be happy to have you along for the ride! We have big dreams and have hardly scratched the surface of where we want to be.

11:16 thats one one reason to tongue mount the loader. But ours is on a mulch mule. Slightly different setup
Looks nice man
The bracket was built out nicely 👌🏻
Thank you!
There's only audio coming from the left speaker for this video
Huh, I will look into that. Must have been a problem with the upload
I am glad you back on you tube ... Good lucky with your marriage and Live.....
Thanks gene! Glad to be back
Just a suggestion, get a binder folder, and a few 100-clear sheet protectors.
Keep each letter in its own sheet protector, keep the envelope on the back side of the letter.
If it has an item, quick picture, and put it in the same sheet protector.
Nothing fancy, just organized, so it's out of the way, and doesn't get file 13 by accident.
My father delivered over 3,500 babies, he had an entire HALLWAY wall covered with babies and/or children's pictures of children he helped bring into the world.
To those particular writers, it means you care.
It is well worth your time, and it keeps a bunch of GREAT/GOOD memories in the same place.
Take Care
Wow great video, Ramsey was an inspiration and I shed a tear 😢 wow, that kid is awesome made my day, congratulations Ramsey 👏 💯👍👍Nice trailer setup!!
That package from Ramsey was cool man. Good to see you take the time out of your day to encourage him and give him some great advice! 💪
Glad to see you are back
Glad to be back! It’s been to long!
Great video. Awesome set up.
Thank you!
A quick video showing your process when you dump leaves would be appreciated. Thanks for the video!
that set up is perfect on that swing gate
Cool game glad y’all are back
Glad to be back 💪🏼
Ramsey - good stuff young man! From Dependable Lawn Care LLC. Nick- that setup is Sweet! Future goals/ideas right there.
Good to see you are still out there kicking butt. Congrats on getting married.
Thanks man!! Trying to kick butt, sometimes I feel like someone is kicking me haha
Our leaf vacs are mounted off of the tongue of the trailer. That gives my guys the ability to dump leaves without having to move a leaf vac. I can see the advantage of having it one the back as well. There is always more than one way to skin a cat. You have a good setup there!
When it’s time to dump we simply open the door and dump. We did not have to modify the factory pin system to hold the door open.
Yeahi like ours on the touge too I can see the guys better too
Glad your back ... looking forward to that big winter ❄️
What’s up Chris. I hope we get a big winter! We deserve one 🙏🏻
Well welcome back Alex.... Slacker! Haha.. Great box from Ramsey I love those young startups! It's our responsibility to help these kids out. Glad to see you back bud.
Haha, what can I say 😂. I totally agree man, we have to help pave the way for the next generation of young landscapers
instablaster...
Fantastic setup 👌
Dope setup. I was thinking about buying or fabricating my own leave vac system to town around with my mower
Where did you get your sign made?
Total Eclipse Accessories, Red Bud IL
Dude thanks a lot for this video! I just bought a dump trailer and the same billy goat loader for this leaf season. I planned on building my box and welding a mount like yours this week
No problem Karl! Happy to help! You will love this loader 😎
Love the ingenuity Alex. Great work!
I am surprised you didn't make the leaf loader removable for off season. You carry around the bracket on the back of the dump trailer all season?
Removable would make it weaker. It was a consideration but we hardly use this trailer in the summer so we decided to weld it solid.
Welcome back, Congratulations 🍾 💍 & growth on your future business chapters.
Thanks Wilson! It’s good to be back!
When I was 10 (4 years ago) I wanted to get business cards for going door to door but At the time it was quite a bit of money for me so I made flyers and my dad printed them out at work and it was the best feeling ever I got two costumes and I only went around the block I don’t know why I don’t go door to door every year but I want to next year
Nice! That is a great way to gain new customers! Do what works for you and that is all that matters. Lawn signs work great as well!
@@nickenslandscapingexcavating yeah they do but I don’t have a means of transportation so i don’t really want people from the other side of my city calling me
Glad to see your back, I used to watch you all the time back before I got started on lawn care myself. Congrats on getting married, can't wait to see your next videos 🤙
What’s up Alex it’s been a long time only follow you in CZcams and I wait for these videos thank you be safe God bless you
What’s up Alfonso! It has been to long, thank you watching! We will hopefully have more videos soon! God bless
You’re a good man Alex, taking the time to acknowledge the young fella from Arizona. He’ll never forget this I’m sure.. Thank You Sir... And congratulations on getting married.!!
He gave you guys one hell of a tan Lol...congrats on the wedding and can't wait to see leaf vac vids
He knows how tan we get in the summer haha! Thanks man! Those will be coming soon I have a feeling. Looking like temps are dipping pretty low this week.
Awesome set up man!
Thanks man! We love it
Welcome back!! Missed you guys! Go get'em!!
Thank you! Feels good to be back 👍🏼
Glad to see you back on youtube... I follow you on Instagram but enjoy video more. Glad to hear your company continues to grow...
Good to be back! Video is always better, I agree! Thanks Bobby! Appreciate you watching 👍🏼
I just did a mount on a leaf vac just like that.
Nice! It works out really well this way 👍🏼
What about dumping ?? I’m always down for a better way to mount, but I have never mounted to the actual trailer in fear of oil and gas mixing together and choking it out..??? Mine is currently over the tongue
We simply open the door and latch just like it was designed from the factory. We were fortunate enough to not have to modify that part of the door. As far as oil/gas mixture the trailer being dumped is no more of an angle than a mower on a steep hill or trailer ramp. I thought about it initially but don’t see it as an issue.
Hi Alex, Great video! I've had a great season as well in the midst of a global pandemic. Currently in the middle of leaf cleanup. Lookin forward to seeing yours as well! 😎
Glad to hear it Ben! You must be doing something right 👍🏼 Cleanup videos will be here before we know it
14:36 thats just too much weight swinging out on that gate imo. Asking alot of those hinges. But if it works, thats all that matters 👍🏻
The entire door is a hinge basically. The door is more than strong enough for the 520 lb loader.
How much was the debris loader? $?
$8,500
Me and my brother have a business card just like that we are 13 and 15
That’s awesome!! I hope you guys are doing well. Remember to always work hard and be honest 👍🏼
Congratulations on the new marriage and business success!!
Good luck with the business
I still wish ours was mounted on the back, just couldn’t find anyone experienced enough to do it
Great set up. Based on your video I just bought the same trailer and loader, I remember you said you bought that mesh cover on Amazon I believe could you share that information for me I’m having a hard time finding it? Thanks much
Just search mesh tarp. The one I selected let me customize the size 👍🏼
🔥🔥🔥
Great video Alex, i created a similar setup on my trailer and cant wait to see how it does. My issue is with 400 lbs on the tailgate, the tongue of the trailer is very light. It wants to bounce and sway going down the road with out weight in the front. Did you have this issue or do anything to add counter weight? My trailer is only a 6x12 so i think that could be some of my issue with the wheel base being shorter.
Awesome setup man, so did you just hook up your spotlights to the loader battery?
Congrats on getting married!
Thank you 🙏🏻
whats it look when attempting to dump it? can you get door latched open still?
Ayyye, brother. Congrats on the progress, especially the family related events. 😂 I see you and Nick are super tan in that drawing. That's ok, we all need sunshine and that immune boosting vitamin D these days.
Haha! Thanks bro! Means a lot. It’s been a long time coming. We get real tan in the summer lol.
Please start posting regularly again! Lol
I really hope to! I plan to!
Sooo, how far will your rear door open to dump.
Hey Alex
Howdy 🤠
Dang buddy Ramsey - u dont watch Ray Rays Lawn Landscape!
Haha, he will now 👍🏼👍🏼
man thats nice
Thanks Ray Ray! A lot of years in the making
So you still only mow 1 day a week and do landscape/hardscape the other days? I assume this set up is not just for those lawn customers that you mow that one day so do you see it just as profitable to advertise/do leaf clean ups in the fall as it would be to keep doing bobcat work/hardscapes instead? I use to be more into the whole leaf game but as I got my bobcat business going like you have I can bring it a lot more in the fall doing that kind of work over leaf clean ups

@@nickenslandscapingexcavating, If you ain't first, you're last !
TOOOOOO EARLY
What’s to early??
Lol
You should concentrate on cash not on likes or clicks. Grow that business and good job getting married.
Congrats on getting married!
