- Simple, efficient, solo-operator lawn care trailer set up! After pulling landscape trailers for 32 years, this maybe my best one! Work smarter not harder! And don’t put your spare tire at the back of the trailer!!!!!
Im glad you made this video what you saying makes the most sense to me thats now ill copy your setup.i will just have to get used to working off the left side 🤣🤣🤣 but i understand why tho
Great point about backing I very nice
Nice 5ft side barn door. Loading a pallet, depending on weight .at exceed your tongue weight.
nice set up
Love that 5ft side opening . That is the way to go👌I demoed one of those B27i's. Fantastic mower👍Great setup 💯
Thanks. I spread 2 tons of lime last week and didn't have to handle the bags but the one time putting them in the spreader. I love the B27i. It is now my primary mower.
I’m older too. Work smarter not harder. That’s my motto too. Really nice setup. New sub here
Thanks man, hopefully we've got several more good years in us
Thank you Keith! Your experience is shown in your setup! Thank you for sharing, I will definitely take a few of your ideas!
Thanks
You sir are proof that OCD can be a positive trait. Great video. Great set up. Your customers are lucky to have you as their provider.
Thanks, I appreciate it
New to enclosed trailers and as a solo operator efficiency is key for me. I thought the same thing about backing in mowers and seeing everyone's videos I kept asking myself why they didn't back their mowers on too haha. Definitely like the gas cans on the floor with the wood holding them in. Taking that idea from you. Also like the trimmers being vertical vs horizontal. Have you noticed any issues from the engines not being supported by the engine supports being that they're vertical vs horizontal?
Nice video, has given me some good ideas to set up my new trailer
Good deal, thanks
Just a tip I have those same gas cans and if you want to make them last I suggest venting them with a drain cock valve! Keeps them from getting pressurized.
Thanks for the tip
great video! Got a few ideas that I didnt think about and its good to see someone "my age" still doing it. Thanks alot.
GO TIGERS!! 🐯 . Great video brotha. I'm in the upstate too. Have a great 2023 season .
Thanks, us tigers have to stick together. I can't wait until college football season. I hope you have a great year too. Some folks say it will be a down year because of the inflation, but I'm staying optimistic.
Stander mowers, we pull them into the trailer. Sitdown mowers, we typically back them in!
Good luck on the channel. It’s hard to get started.
Thanks, I appreciate it
You got some good points man , great video
Thanks, I'm new at making videos but i'll be making some more, there kinda fun
Cool video, i am gonna change my rack set up.
Thanks, I have a video focusing on installing the rack vertically. I've got several guys that has went vertical with their racks
This is a great video
Geeat video thank you!
Thanks
I love this so much! You got a beautiful set up there Keith!
Thanks, Devan
This was awesome! You really covered everything. 2nd year in business here in Alabama. I’m pretty sure I’m gonna buy a 7x16 enclosed so this REALLY helps. Thanks so much. I wasn’t thinking about all the storage possibilities there were. You have opened my eyes.
Thanks man. More videos coming soon
Love the clean setup
Thanks
Really nice set up well organized I like the idea of hanging the weedeaters like that
Thanks, I appreciate it
Wry nice setup Keith! Definitely great placement of equipment. New to the channel and looking forward to more videos!
Thanks, I've got more videos coming soon
Well thought out efficient setup👌🏾
Thanks
Looks good!
Thanks
Nice trailer setup
love the video i own a lawn care business 3 years running and there are some things i also don't agree with but all in all i learned some very helpful tips that im going to use on my rig here in florida, f-150 with a 6x18enclosed trailer.... my goal for 2024 is to upgrade to a dually though
Thanks, I think you will love towing with a dually
Awesome trailer and video Keith.
Thanks
nICE SETUP
Thanks
Great setup! Loved the logic behind your setup. Gave me lots of ideas! "Work smarter not harder". Liked and subbed. Good luck this season!
Thanks I appreciate it
Awesome set up! I'm looking at getting an enclosed trailer next season!
Thanks
Nice Set up Keith new to the channel💯👍🏾
Thanks
_I've got to wash my enclosed before the season starts I never got around to it during last year because too many lawns lol._
Yes Sir back mower in is the logical way to do it
Thanks
Stihl has something like the hedge sweep. You've got a nice setup bud.
Thanks and thanks for the tip about Stihl. I'll see if they have one for my Stihl hedge trimmer
Excellent video!! I copied your layout for the trimmer rack and blower being on the same side. It opened up more space in my small 6x10 trailer. I'm planning to upgrade to a 7x14 next year.
Good deal, glad it helped
Awesome video! Are you using this setup for 2024?
How expensive was this trailer? It is a very nice trailer.
Please comment back, thank you for this video.
Yeah, especially if you don’t have a huge business your don’t need an expensive holder for your gas cans.
Hi Keith, my name is David Jeffries from Jasper Indiana tomorrow actually I’m picking up my 7 x 20 trailer enclosed. I like your set up this is the I’ve always used. I’ve only been a business for this is my third year and I am also solo solo 52 years old so I know what you mean, but you know I was I like your set up is green touch better than equipment defender and where and how do you screw these things on the walls? I haven’t looked at it yet. Have a blessed day bro.
nice video remember your as young as you feel ...... 😀
Thanks, some days I feel 45 and some days I feel 75 so i guess it averages out.
@@keithlindsay funny i turned 60 in December
Nice equipment where did you get that channel holding the gas cans in ? I love Walker mowers wish we had a dealer I'm 68 and still going strong 39 years in the business 🙂
I got the metal at Lowes. Thanks for viewing. I'll be making more videos soon.
@@keithlindsay thanks 👍
Neatly organized, 👏 👏
I didn't notice a push mower for smaller grass areas... I'm just curious.
I have a Honda but very seldom use it. I don't think I used it at all last year.
@Keith Lindsay very good 👏 👏
Hi Keith, could you do another video on just your trimmer rack. Focusing on how it’s mounted. Thanks
I will get one done in the next couple of days. It works great that way. Thanks
Hey Ron, we made a video today focusing on the trimmer rack. I hope it helps, if you have other questions just let me know
How bout them Clemson Tigers!!!
Yes. I am looking forward to football season
I love that you’re able to run old equipment (old leaf blower) while still optimizing near perfect organization that works for you! Great setup. What redmax trimmer is that? I have a redmax Gz23n that’s an older one but runs great. Yours looks bigger.
I wasn't sure which one you was asking about. The small grass trimmer(weed eater) is a TR2350S, the medium size is BCZ260TS, and the mid length hedge trimmer is SRT224. I had a Red Max long reach hedge trimmer I sold last year that was all metal. I think it was like a 95 model and it still ran good. I have some very old equipment. I have a 93 Walker mower that still runs good. I try to take care of my stuff. Thanks for watching
@@keithlindsay oh ok great yeah I was just wondering about that bcz260ts thanks for clarifying. That’s decently a larger engine size than mine.
Great setup!!! Just curious if you strap your mowers down at all??
Wow great video man keep them up learned a lot. I been doing it for awhile not as long as you but very good points. Any advice for someone starting out that wants to make this a career?
Honestly, if I had it to do all over again I would choose another career. It's too hard on your body and the profit just isn't there like it use to be. Back in the 90's and early 2000's was probably the prime time for landscaping and lawn maintenance. Now at least in my area there is too many folks doing it too cheap, people that just work for cash with no insurance or license. My son helped me for 10 years and I encouraged him to do something with his brain instead of his back. Expenses keep going up like crazy, equipment, maintenance on equipment, insurance, gas etc. I honestly netted more money 20 years ago. I hate to discourage you but i'm just being honest. If you do go into business as a career, buy a Walker mower. The most versital mower out there. If you take care of them they will last a long time. I have a 93 model, and a 2000 that is still running. Not my primary mowers but still
@@keithlindsay thanks for the great advice man mowing lawns is my passion I never had a love for anything besides lawn care but I do understand why you said that to your son and the mistakes I made in lawncare since i was 12 you can write a book on it. I don’t know anything else besides mowing lawns like fertilizer or hedging bushes or landscaping iam not very familiar with other services and I think that’s what holds me back from making the bigger money.
Your trailer set up is very neat! Are the Walker mowers comfortable to operate with the position of the handles? Also, is that a phone pouch on your side? I like it.
No problem for me, I have longer arms than a lot of guys. Yes, it is a leather custom made phone case that I have had for years. It's very durable. Thanks
@@keithlindsay I have an open trailer that I try to keep as neat as possible. So far, so good. But, as soon as the height of the season is here that's out of the window. Partially!😉 I do my best to keep it clean though. I believe a nice presentation is appealing to clients and potential ones too. So, I recently re-painted it and added new racks and tires as well. The down side is that I have to unload it EVERY evening which is prompting me to either buy that trailer or pay for storage.
Good video ( if only it was shot in _landscape_ 😂 even when I watch videos on my phone, I prefer watching in landscape view ), nice setup. What were you saying about diesel vs gas? Echo made a sweep accessory for their hedge trimmer years ago; it's just wasn't standard 🤷♂️ I don't know if they still offer it. Oh, and there definitely is a difference between the 9010 and 8010.
I have a seperate video on gas vs diesel. Basically that most guys pulling just mowers don't need a diesel, unless you are towing more than 10,000 lbs. I think some guys just have a diesel because of their ego. There is NO way you can save money with a diesel truck, even if it gets twice the fuel mileage vs a gas truck which usually they don't. When you consider the extra cost upfront, then the extra finance cost, the fuel being $1.50 more a gallon, the extra cost of maintenance, the extra cost of the DEF fluid, and when something breaks the REAL EXTRA cost. My 6.4 gas Dodge pulls a 10,000 lb. trailer fine and I live in the mountains. I'm not a big Dodge fan, this is my 1st one, the main reason I bought it, was it has 120 more horse power than a 6.0 GM. I also have a video on my open trailer..Thanks
I went from gassers to diesels for my business for the pure reason they don’t hold up at all. Was getting 6-8mpg hauling 4 mowers etc around on both gas trucks, and would have to borrow a buddies truck to haul dump trailers etc for hurricane cleanup or landscape install jobs. Yes they cost more up front but I cut my fuel bill by 65%. Both trucks run on a full tank pulling 6-8k lbs of equipment and people 6-7 days a week at $140$ per tank. The gassers cost me that every other day almost. I bought brand new trucks and while the financing was higher up front, I got the extended warranties so I’m good for 200k miles out of each. They are paid off already so it’s not a concern of mine for any repairs further down the line. Have 30-40k miles on each truck and they’ve been flawless as compared to the gasser fleet I had. Not to mention resale value. I got about 25% of what I paid for for 2 low mileage gasser trade ins, and they are offering me exactly what my order price was that I paid on my 2022’s to get me in 2023’s. Small time guys could use gassers but they definitely aren’t for me anymore.
Also. Also that I’ve got a gallon of paint I can’t remember what it is and I got some black sand that I’m gonna throw on top of the paint. Keep it from non-non-slipping so I’ll be getting ideas I mean I was thinking about painting my floor on the inside of the trailer and then painting it painting my walls. Can you help me
I like it all besides the walkers. Forced into bagging its not efficient at all. Nice setup
Wow ur setup is next to non
Where did you get that weed eater rack at?
Equipment defender.com
Any problems with starting the trimmers hanging them that way?
No problems starting when hanging vertical. I had them that way in a box truck on cheap individual racks for about 8 or 9 years. The equipment defender or green touch racks keep them from rotating when racks are hung horizontally but with the cheaper racks, the trimmers will rotate and flood when hung horizontally. I just like it because it takes up so much less wall space. With the 5' side door I knew my wall space would be limited. Thanks
Thanks for getting back to me. I’ve just moved up to a 6x12 enclosed trailer and have the defender racks. I’m going to mount them your way to save room
how many yards do you have i
25 residential and 1 big commercial
