Just bought a new Echo SRM-230 at my dealer a couple weeks ago and I absolutely love it. Cant say enough good things about it, super powerful
I have the same exact setup,only my truck is black and my trailer is gray. I put a rectangle box on the tongue of the trailer for fuel jugs to keep it out of the trailer. Got it at Tractor supply
U can clip the string on with a carabiner so u always have some on u
I bought a few pairs of fishing pants at academy this year. They are light weight, cool, and dry really fast. Plus they have cargo pockets so i just cut a piece off and stick it in there..seems like every time i wash them though there is string in the pocket..lol. Thanks for watching
Nice Stihl stuff. Nice Echo PB8010 blower too, I have that one and the air streams about as wide as a freeway.
Helps a lot with those leaf cleanups..thanks for watching
Nice set up. Those are two of my top 3 brands. Between the lazer and the tt2, watch the weight of the scag. It will track/rut softer customers yards, but is unmatched when it comes to acreage mows. For me I’m too obsessed with clipping size and dispersion, so my scags stay at the shop on my residential days.
One of my tie breakers was how the lazer z did on wet grass. I try not to mow when its wet but you and i both know sometimes you have to. Both are great machines but since i can only have 1 im still thinkn scag. Thank you for the tips and for the view. Have a great season
Cool the special effects when you opened trailer door! 👍🏼 Good setup
My daughter films and edits almost all my vids. Thats where that “my dads idea of being funny” came in. Thanks though and thank you for watching
Lol when I use to have lawn service no time for cameras and u tube to busy lolol
Thats exactly why i dont do more of them. 1 guy trying to mow 12 yards/day plus the landscaping etc. i need to make $$ and il make vids later. Thanks so much for watching
Like your setup, nice to see a trailer interior painted in white, really helps with the light reflection.
Yea but after a few months it needs a fresh coat..lol.. thanks for watching
Hello sir i hope you are well and staying safe during there crazy times. I work and live just over in Asheville NC. I'm now into my 3 season of lawn care and landscaping and find your videos very helpful and inspiring. I like how you mix and match your set up. That's kind of what I do to seeing is how I'm still growing. Thanks for the videos again very helpful.
I have a great dealer who has become a buddy and he knows my yards because he mowa on the side as well. He always gives me great advice on what i should get. Good luck, i hope you have a great season and thanks for watching
thank you sir you as well and I'll take all the advice I can take. :) I definitely need to become friends with a dealer. My biggest problem is being nervous and am not really feeling comfortable talking with folks. It's a huge flaw sadly
NGL, I much prefer hand held blowers over backpack ones. The backpack works better, but you feel better at the end of the day using a handheld.
Besides my criticism, that's a great set-up! Thinking of starting my own lawn care business next year. worked 7 years in the industry and this is an amazingly organized setup. Love it!
Ive been running with that 580 instead of my 8010 and it feels a lot better. Im with ya on weight. Im getn old and anytime you can be easier on your body you should👍
Great looking trailer, both inside and out! Very organized with great company graphic's.
Thanks. I appreciate that👊
that turf tiger 2 really is a beast 1600 lbs worth. buddy has one--- very limited use machine. get a nice 61" stander- you can do so much more with it. I really like your trailer setup. try turning your edger racks 90 degrees so the equipment hangs down. you wont need those darn engine supports. have a safe and prosperous 2020.
Crazy, I’ve never seen anyone do that with the Green Touch Racks. 🤯
With those blocks you really dont even need those engine supports i just put em on for the heck of it. Its way to hilly around here for a stander imo. Thats why i have the walk behind. I have some big properties that i want the TT for. Thanks for the tips and for watching
Excellent video. I am getting spun up to start a lawn service and I picked up a lot of good info here.
Glad to hear it. I hope to put another one out soon
For dump insert you want a truck craft it’s 100% aluminum indestructible you can leave grass in it for a year with no issue and the tailgate is the bomb
Il look into that, probably gona wait on it till i can get a 2500 though.. Thanks for the tip
Hey Nick,
My trailer is gone getting done now. I think you and I had a similar mindset for spring and fall. I also Incorporated leaves. Yours is the only one I've seen with them in this style. I told the designer what I wanted them to look like and he nailed it. Started looking for trailer work on here and realized that never seen your trailer up close. Just when you were working around it.
It looks great.
I hope your wife is doing better my friend.
God bless 👊🏼🧔🇺🇸
She is doing much better now, Thank You. I still stop and look at my trailer sometimes and cant beleive i finally have it. Id like to see yours when it gets done
Nice rig,can tell you enjoy what you do. Keep it up and be safe!
Thanks man, i do enjoy it. Check out the newest video for the new truck
Hey bud make sure you check those bolts on that Challenger Series trailer. We have had to tighten every single one of the star headed bolts that hold the siding on and even the plastic bulb covers and everything like that
Also our door on the back of the bar that holds the door shut has bent keep an eye out for that
Im going to do some preseason maintenance on it il be sure and check it out. Thanks
Im an echo guy. My step brother is a Stihl lover he owns a small engine shop and most of the equipment on his bench is Stihl that's why I don't own Stihl. He said older stuff good newer Stihl junk. I love all the 2620 echo stuff.
Ive had a good experience with allnsthe stihl equipment i have but they do say the older stuff is better. My echo ppt2620 is awesome and i love the blowers. I just dont like the way echo sticks feel in my hand, ive tried them just not a fan. Thanks for watching
I just picked up the same pair of fiskars couple weeks ago.
Really didn't think I'd use them. Last weekend I used them enough i finally started carrying them on my side.
Handy lil things, the reason i like the old ones better is the fiskars tend to pinch smaller stuff and get stuck but overall theyre pretty good. I found mine at Ross for $5.99. Weird place to find them..lol..thanks for watchin
@@pandhlawncare
Wish they had a curved blade.
Really nice trailer and setup.. well done. 👍
Setup looks damn good man! I just posted my setup for my open trailer but am in the market for an enclosed trailer. I have the KM111R Kombisystem trimmer with the articulating hedge trimmer. I love the thing but was also in the market for a handheld gas trimmer. Didnt use the things enough to buy the high dollar trimmers, so I keep an electric one in my truck with 3 extension cords. If I cant plug it in at a customers house, I have a 1000w power inverter that hooks up to my batteries. I totally here ya on doing it the best way as cost effective without being cheap! Might look into the residential model like you said. Cheers
Caplan Landscaping i bought the stihl hs45 and have used the heck out of it, very pleased. Thanks for watching
Caplan Landscaping I have a Stihl hs45 to and love it I have had it for 4 years no problems love it And if you are looking for one I totally recommend it.
Stick with the turf tiger. Any little moisture clumps up. I've had both walk behinds exmark and scag
Yea, i plan on it. That turf tracer clumps but i just have it fir the hills around here and i dont get on them if its wet. So its a non issue. But after demoing the turf tiger😍
Jason Simmons cheetah is more compact than the turf tiger, an faster. But the turf tiger is better for trimming an hills. My turf tiger has nearly 3000 hours on it. My cheetah is just over 1000. Also have a 2003 tiger cub with 1800 hrs, an a 52" tiger cat plus 52" v ride. In the past I have had a Dixie chopper, exmark, toro, ferris, John Deere an a 1996 walker mt. So in my opinion, based on 23 years experience, you can't go wrong with scag products.
Ruth Ford ive had husqvarna, john deere, and this is my 3rd scag. Yea im staying loyal to the orange on ztrs
Im late to the video , it just came up in my feed , Nice set up , that wrap is money ! I run the same Tiger cat 2, 2018 as well . I run a 36 vride and they use the same blades which is handy . The FX 691 is fine if you aren't mowing real tall stuff. Not that it want get it done but it bogs down . I think I'll move up to the Cheeta . I've been slobbering on them some when I go in for blades and stuff . Have a good season ! Tennessee , what a place to live , you guys have some sweet fishing holes !
I recently demoed the lazer z, turf tiger 2, and the cheetah 2. Im looking to upgrade to the turf tiger 2 very soon. Hope you have a great season as well and thank you for watching
I have the same setup 52 tiger cat and 36 vride
I’m about to trade the tiger cat on a 61 vride
Looking to do larger yards scag is a great mower
i’m just starting out and i have 10 yards in kingsport i live in gatecity virginia
I got a few buddies that live over there. Good luck to you. There is a lot of competition. Thanks fir watching
My buddy has green touch, I have equipment defender. We both agree equipment defender is better. Spend the extra $25 or whatever for the combo lock
Thats what makes the world go round. I prefer the greentouch. I added a GT blower rack since the video and i just like it better. A lawn crew here in town had a string trimmer come off a ED rack. But im sure there are 100s of stories like that for both brands. Use what makes you happy. Thanks for watching
that why i love the echo 8010
Yea, its awesome. Thanks for watching
I love that echo pb8010t. But now my wallet is broke. THAT AMAZING PIECE OF EQUIPMENT COST $600!!!!!!!!😱😱😱
Trailer looks great👍
I have an hs45 hedge trimmer works great and I also have the ms170 great little saw to have around
Glad to hear something else positive on the ha45, hope to pick it up tomorrow. Thanks for watching
Awesome setup, love the trailer decals as well! New subscriber here 👍🏻
Thanks, i appreciate you. I dont put out many but im gona try to start doing more. Thanks for the sub
Everything looks fantastic. Great set up.
Thanks! 2021 set up will be out in March
I have a Lazar Z and wet grass clumps do bad with it. Amazing how many people swear by them. I'll never buy another one. Great set up!!!
Thats my thoughts exactly!!! Hey man thank you so much, you are my 500th sub! I really appreciate it.
@@pandhlawncare that's awesome. I'm in middle TN. Always happy to support TN company's
Hey bud scag turf2 will not hold hill like the first turftiger so if you have the option between 1 2 get the 1 don't get me wrong both good mowrs
I purchased a tt2 last summer. My dealer is a buddy of mine and he told me the same thing. We searched for a 1 for a few months but couldnt find one that wasnt ate up with hours. I have about 200 hours on mine now and have been happy. I always have the walk behind if its real steep. Thanks for the info. 2021 setup vid coming soon
I would recommend just get a dump trailer and use it for when you're doing fall clean up and spring clean up and when customers want you to bag and haul their grass which you will charge extra for. Dump insert to me is a waste of money.
Ive been considering both options. I have found this season that much of the week my truck bed is full of some kind of debris, clippings, grass, trees branches etc. from where im doing my routes and people say “hey while youre here can you...so im thinking about a dedicated 3/4 ton work truck with an insert and having a different truck for personal use. Ive been fortunate to experience a lot of growth this year but that means i have much to figure out this off season. Thanks for the input👍
You are in my area.supprised never seen ya around.cox tractor is a nice dealer for sure.
Yea, ive actually became buddies with those guys im there so much. Thanks for watching and have a great season
Do yourself a huge favor!!!! Run to Home Depot and grab one of those little blister packs of the echo black diamond string!!!! Doesn’t matter which one... I use the .90 but I don’t eat it up on fences. The stuff spins up sooo fast! You use less throttle and it’s soo sharp it cuts cleaner then most mowers! I went from weed eating a street in 2 hours to finishing in an hour or less! Trust me after you try it you will be online buying the 3lb spools!
My dealer carries it and there at least once a week. I was there today actually..lol. Thats what im getting as soon as this spool is gone. Ive heard tons if great things about it
P & H Lawn Care once you try it you will never look back! Nobody around here sells it so I have to order it. I always order two so I never run out!
I picked up a 3lb spool of it and it is awesome..thanks for the tip
Very nice set up
Thanks. I appreciate that
Im landscaper im french i like watching different methods to work i love landscaping and i love speak with professionals stay safe my friend
I trust me dealer too. Who would say the home owner STIHL hedge trimmer is not good when a lot of the you tubers are pushing battery operated hedge trimmers.
WildCardMMA that is so true. Il never go to a battery until the govt makes me. And i hope i never see that day.
Pretty nice setup man 🤙. As everyone says the decals on the trailer are perfect definitely goals
Thanks man, and thanks for watching

If you’re going with the dump insert get a 1 ton
cool another local guy! I'm about a hour from Kingsport over in VA bout 30 minutes from Harlan
Thanks for watching man, hope you have a great season. Ive been getting a lot of support on here and instagram from locals..pretty cool
Kingsport tennessee??? That’s where I’m located!!!
Yes sir, born and raised
Use velcro to attach extra trimmer string to the weed water shaft. Weighs nothing and works for me!
Theres an idea, thanks and thank you for watching
Beautiful set up brother .I don't have any of those fancy backpack holders or weed eater racks I used all hooks from Lowe's in my trailer everything's mounted on nothing falls off works just fine for me and you could use PVC pipes to hang up rakes pitchforks and shovels it keeps everything nice and tight to the wall. that echo 8010 I just got it myself it's a beast for sure. Great set up !!👍👍
I did the hooks for years amd still have some. Just been putting it together as i can. Thanks for watching i really appreciate it
Excellent video and great setup! Go Vols!
Thanks, lets hope we have a great season if we even have one
Great setup, where did you find the vinyl grass around bottom of trailer?
A guy here in town did the whole thing. I designed the logo a few years ago and emailed it to him and he copied it the best he could.
@@pandhlawncare ok, I'm being looking for vinyl grass online and couldn't find it. Probably will try Sign First
@@precisioncutsandtrimslawns6645 where are you located? There are 2 didferent vinyl guys here that use that same grass
Mississippi
@@precisioncutsandtrimslawns6645 if i can find it out il let you know
Nice setup!
Thanks Man, this years will be out soon
A very nice setup young man!
Thanks You Sir, and thanks for watching
I am taking it the "Almost" part is because you added Beach River sticker..... Wally is a weirdo.... I think you can peel it off and then it will be just perfect
I dont know them personally but we have DM’ed on instagram a bit and they both seem nice and do a lot for the lawn care community. I actually just won one of their give aways. Thanks for watching my vid, i try and be informative and keep it light.
Nice video!! Taking notes for my new trailer
Thanks man and thank you for watching. Theyre fun to do
Nice man
Thanks, and thanks for watchin
Nice setup. Thanks for the video
Thanks man, I appreciate it
Love the setup man! Keep at it 💪🏻💪🏻
Thanks man, it has taken a while. Thanks for watching
Glad to see you don’t buy stuff bc it’s what everyone else is buying, I buy what works and what’s affordable or I make it myself
My daughter reminds me all the time that at my age im not cool anymore so who cares what everybody else buys. Get what works for you and your budget. Thanks for watching
I got those same glasses 👓 on Amazon last year
Those prism lenses are 🙌
They make a world of difference! I’m lost without them!
Nice rig and graphics.
Thanks, and thank you for watching
Dude I was really, really looking on seeing a solo setup since I’m Han SOLO on everything I do! I can’t hear shit! My tv was to the max and nothing. Maybe I’m deaf due to all the power equipment or something 🤷🏻♂️
Yea sorry about that i didnt record it in HD the 2021 setup video is though. My bad
Nice to see another east tn guy 👍🏼
Thanks Man
Great set up Nick
Thanks, took a long time
Nice set up pal.from across the pond.

Good video I got my first customer try to get a few more and the ball rolling what would you suggest any tips ?
Go for quality over quantity. 10 really good clients will make you more than 20 bad ones. Provide excellent service to the clients you have and they will take care of your advertising by word of mouth. Best of luck👍
Awesome setup!

Hey p&h lawncare we are C&R lawncare and we just subscribed
Thanks so much, hope yall have a great season!
Do you think a 61 inch mower is too much if you are only cutting 1/4-1/2 acre residential yards? Do you think having a 52 you can maneuver better especially in sub division style yards?
JCraven i think the 52” would be better. I now have a 61” turf tiger 2 and on some of my residential i use the exmark because the scag is just to big for it
@@pandhlawncare That's what I was thinking too...which one cuts better in morning dew grass, Exmark or Scag? Thanks
JCraven exmark WILL NOT cut wet grass..anybody that says it will is full of it..i have a couple vids showin how bad it clumps and its barely wet..that was the deciding factor between turf tiger and lazer z. The tiger cat 2 is a great mower
@@pandhlawncare Thank you very much for that info! I am trying to make a decision between the Exmark Lazer Z or Scag Cheetah II or now maybe the Tiger Cat. I am located a little south of Pittsburgh but I'm sure the grass is pretty similar where you are...
I demoed the cheetah and loved it especially with those cool led lights..and i am loving the 37hp vanguard engine it is a beast. I ran the tiger cat 2 for 3 seasons and it is a great mower..imo, if i had the money i would get a cheetah if not the tiger cat will be great as well. As long as you have the velocity deck you will be set👍
Looking good!
Thanks man, i consider that a huge compliment coming from you. Thanks for watching
cool setup I just put out my setup video today thanks for the motivation
Il go check it out, thanks for watching
@@pandhlawncare no doubt just subbed looking forward to seeing the action this season
Quality Lawn Care i dont post a lot but since the covis my daughter doesnt have much to do so maybe i can put out more. She does my filming and editing...lol
@@pandhlawncare same here I guess it's the first steps to a long journey I see the hustle bro
Sweet setup!

Good setup man I’m in east tn over here in Hancock county started a channel myself 👊👊
Good luck with it..il check it out..have a great season
I have the ms 170 or 180 stihl. Its been great. My stihl weed eater kills my back. I need a better ergonomical weed eater.
I dont have one but have you heard of the darwin grip? No point in getting rid of a good trimmer if you can fix the problem. Thanks so much for watching
Great setup
Thanks, thanks for watching
does your setup have commercial plates or a DOT # I'm trying to figure out if I actually need commercial plates..as well as weather not I need to be USDOT compliant. curious your your situation
My truck has a commercial plate amd the trailer has a lifetime trailer plate. They told me in the state of TN if you make $1 with your truck you have to have a commercial plate. Since Im licensed I figured they know i make $1 with it...lol
@@pandhlawncare I think that’s similar to NY as well or if you have a logo you have to have commercial plates. No dot# tho?
@@matthewvanderjagt9758 No

I’m looking at a Shindawa hedge trimmer are they the same as echo or are there little things that distinguish one brand from the other in the hedge trimmers other than the color
I just checked with the ECHO product managers. Only difference is labeling and factory where they are made👍

How far apart do you have the trimmer racks? I unfortunately mounted mine up on my trailer without taking a measurement of my HL94K hedge trimmer and they’re too far apart to get the HL94K to go on. Where do you have the 2 block mounts mounted on the shaft?
Do you have the shorter shaft or longer shaft?
I didnt even read the instructions when i installed mine i pulled, i think, dans vlog and watched it and did what he did. They are 37” apart. I put the first block 1” in front of the throttle grip then i loosley put the other one on and put it in the rack then slid it into the holder and tightened it up. I have the longer one. I bend the head downward at a 90’ angle and it works fine...hope this helps and thanks for watching. Anymore questions just give me a shout
P & H Lawn Care I think the fact that mine is the shorter shaft is the main issue. The longer shaft HL94 is just fine with the racks 37” apart (which I think is what the instructions say and it’s what I have mine at also).
Great setup. Is this your main job or side hustle
It was a side job for 13 years and i finally got the courage up to go all in feb 2019. Thanks for watching
Good video brother
Thanks man👍
What kind of brand is the weed eater rack?
Greentouch industries. I love them
What kind of paint did you put on the floor and how did it hold up?
Valspar anti skid patio paint. Lasted all season last year but i put a new coat on this year
You're good with the TRUCK you have to pull that TRAILER with I know a man here on YOU TUBE that pulls a RACECAR TRAILER with a RACECAR in it with a TRUCK just like you have & it does fine & it never has let him down you probably know who I'm talking about GUITARMAGGADEN
No but i will check him out. Thanks for watching
Have you considered a stander like a Vride 2
No they cant hold a hill like a walk behind. Procut lawn care has a video where he flipped his amd he lives near me. Id rather sit when i can and use the walk behind when i have to. Thanks for watching
Very nice

Nothing wrong with the trailer in beginning.....
No, its a good little trailer. That was my bad attempt at being funny on video
😂😂 nice set up 1:07
Just tryn to lighten things up, my daugter was rolling her eyes. Thanks for watching
whats the size of the trailer
7x16
What size is the trailer that you use?
7x16
I run solo, revelationlandcare.com, is it annoying at the pump to fill up the big mowers?
No, i put the scag in first and i can fill it up and both cans through the side door and if i get lucky it will reach the push mower too. Then i just fill the exmark up with a can. Thanks for watching
I have a yard in Gate City and more than welcome to take. I run a lawn care and detailing business, so it’s hard for me to get there. PM for the details
The only problem is that you got a Chevy 😂
Well i cant push the trailer and a ford im just solo😂
P & H Lawn Care ok buddy
Terrible sound, can't hear a thing.
That is a great setup! Just subbed! Check out our channel if you have time! We run a 6×12 enclosed but we will eventually have to move to a 7×14. The 6×12 is getting a little small.
