I hope you post some videos this year man. You are one of the very few channels I watch.
Thank you I appreciate that. I’ve had a rough year.
Johnny Mow!💪🏽
You should suggest to your local bulk salt places that they put in a self service hopper for the salt. My local yard put one in a couple years ago and it's fantastic. No more bagged salt for me. It gets a few loads from the loader, and it has a lid on it to keep it dry. Ya just drive your truck under it move the lever to open the hopper, fill up, close up, weigh out and pay. It's been a boost to their business.
Great video! Times are changing and very critical on how you run your business. Please pump out more videos Johnny! I miss ya big guy! You are by far ny favorite channel/mentor. Be safe and god bless brother. 💪
Thank you. I will. And thanks for the blessing
🌺🌺🌺Wishing you and yours the best this year, Johnny and even though I don't comment on your videos I watch all of them and learn a lot from your content. Now go plow and make that paper! 🌺🌺🌺
Thank you Johnny means a lot
Good to see ya Johnny! I miss my old tgs1100 only when I am hooking and unhooking the snowex1075. Hope you and the fam are still doing well man. Going to be a fun year to say the least.
I actually hit a Jersey barrier and my tags 1100 is sidelined now.
I'd love to see a video on the ss100 48 looks like a great way for people to get into lawn care
Johnny! Let’s Go!
These times are a nightmare. Going to be a difficult year for expanding the fertilizer route. Great video!
This fert thing is over the top. I’m really struggling with it
@@JohnnyMow I'm looking at almost $70 per application 😳 for 10000 square feet. How do you sell that?
@@bladezllc I’m at 65 I may lose quit a few but it’s what it calls for now
Always looking forward to a Johnny Mow video.
BTW, are you still thinking about publishing a manual for all things lawn/landscaping/snow? I would be the first to purchase at any price
Good video. Real talk about real issues facing business. Costs, profitability, parts, supplies, etc. No nonsense, no fluff like some of the others out there. Be safe out there tonight!
Thanks my man
Jonny get back to review I found stens 340-099 blades blades cut the best in spring or thick for icd thinner blade but wider less stragglers but is softer and needs sharp more
What’s up Johnny! (Johnny mow salute!)
Will you be testing the new Milwaukee lawn mower this spring?
Great to hear from you Johnny! Hoping the 2022 year is a great one for you and the business. Stay strong and god bless!👊
Thank you
I was just thinking about you. I hope and pray everything goes well for you. Thanks for the update.
Thank you my friend
Get creative. pre-emergent is 10$ an acre for a season load when sprayed low volume rather than rolled onto prills. 24d Ester is still 60bucks a jug. If you have been keeping up with Fert previous seasons, you should be able to get away with N only and lower rates for a year or two especially if you aren't bagging. By regular 46-0-0 Urea and run it 2lbs per k. You can spray merit low volume for 10 bucks an acre. No reason to raise Fert prices more than 5-7%. Too many people are panicking.
I’ve never sprayed pre emergent out of my low volume machine. Mine does not have agitator. 45-0-0 is still really expensive hear even at half rate as you suggested. Hear is the bottom line. I paid 14.25 last year for a bag of premergent this year 24.75. Regular triplet 64 now 90. You add insurance rates and gas to the cost your looking at a devastating year.
@@JohnnyMow I hear ya but I disagree. Going to be a fantastic year for guys who know their numbers and their chemicals. 24d ester will do just as good a job as triplet at 7$ an acre. Maybe throw some triclopyr for an extra punch at 4$ an acre. We took out all luxuries and will come in well under 1.5$ per k averaged out.
Did you get use for that salt? New price plan video would be interesting 👍
Great video Johnny! I was looking for a truck like your ford and I can’t find one for a reasonable price even used. It’s crazy
It is nuts
We had all kinds of plans for 2021, then Texas February hit us. Our phones were averaging 16 calls an hour. I had just replenished our salt inventory when it hit. Other landscapers started buying from us as we were the only ones with salt. Shrubs dead everywhere, turf slow to come out of dormancy, Covid hit staff and no-one wanted to work unless it was under the table. We kept the mow and shrub trimming trucks running with our fertilizer crew. A "fall back and punt" mode. This year its a numbers game and who has the inventory/equipment left to do the jobs. I have already had others ask if we could help them with their routes as their machines are down with parts backordered. Its another storm, just different elements.
Yes it’s difficult to navigate sometimes but there is the sun after every storm
I went last week to get blades and they told me get as much as you need now cause belts, oil, gas mix might not be there when you need it. Great video Johnny 👊🏼
Thank you my man. I’m hearing the same thing
He's back!
Look out. Lol
🍿
Good stuff buddy
Thank you
Im in southern New England and we’ve had 1 plowable event this season in my area. 3-4 salt runs which is way below the norm. My bulk salt price went up 30% since last March. This inflation is a real problem across the board. Im already dreading what the spring season is gonna bring as I know I’m gonna lose some customers when I raise the prices again for this upcoming season.
I completely understand. The good thing is that there is a shortage of us. This means we can replace pretty quickly
Did a horseshoe shape here in Louisville Kentucky. At least we got some pretreat down lol. Hope for the best for you, too make that extra money. Stay safe and thanks for an update.
Thanks my man.
We got 14.5 inches from the last storm here in Des Moines. Ive got the TGS600 and it works for me, I can fit 7-8 bags. It’s easy to get on and off, I need to remove it at every account to get the blower out. I don’t like how low it hangs, my western 1000 had much more clearance.
Do u remove it with salt in it?
@@JohnnyMow not with more than one bag in it. I fill it up for each property, not ideal but it works for my solo operation.
@@zepplin810 thank you that makes sense then.
Let it snow. Thanks for price increase info. I figured this would happen.
It’s a shame what’s going in
💥🇺🇲🖐😎 good to see Johnny is doing well! Its been cold in MI but not much snow at all. You rocking the SureCans now? You can thank Joe Biden and the Democrats for the inflation.
We’re getting ready in Rochester NY. Good luck on the storm. Question, do you have a back plow truck or do you just rely on the one truck?
Right now one truck. But it’s in my thoughts about a back up.
Long time no see 😎good video man👍The inflation is crazy and it's gonna get worse ! We went up 33% on almost everyone for 2022. It sounds like a big jump for our customers but, it's really not that bad. Basically, our smaller property clients are paying about $330 more per year for mowing. We are still cheaper than most of our competitors even with the price increase and we only had one cancellation so far🤷♂️hope your storm event went well😉
This was the worst storm I’ve dealt with
Can you do an update on how the 60v is holding up for you? I know you mentioned battery life was an issue, did you end up getting a couple more to make it last?
I bought three all together. Battery’s can get me through a storm. It’s not commercial use tho
@@JohnnyMow awesome thanks for the info. Be safe out there tonight/tomorrow roads are nasty on the South Hills
Dam 12-18 I like snow but not that much
It’s been a while since I’ve seen those numbers
You got a vibrator on the 1100?
I do but it’s really not needed
@@JohnnyMow that’s good bro just incase you got it, mine doesn’t have one yet. 2 days ago I put bulk salt through it and it spread it just fine but it definitely looks like a vibrator would do amazing for bulk salt, at times it would spread less and a little nudge on the brake would get it back and running so a vibrator with this spreader would spread bulk salt so easily. Love it. Also love how stable it is, I’ve seen so many ppl with other tailgates and that thing be moving around so much it looks so bad. This is my first tailgate spreader, I run vbx on my other trucks but I got this one for residential
Hows it going dude!! Oh man gettin salt on that brand new truck lol :)
Fuel is 375 here now dude..common uncle Joe open the pipeline back up lets buy American!!!
Buy some Silver Johnny!!! Great for retirement!!!
Weed Control went up here 10% and fertilizer 52%
My weed control went up 43%. Hope you do good my man
@@JohnnyMow I’m ok. Good to see a video from you
what setting do u have the spreader on?
Man 6-7. It does not spread well below 5 for some reason. I do adjust it for road ways.
@@JohnnyMow ok this is my 1st year doing snow and i got the same spreader …so im looking for all the tips i can get …thanks 💯
@@mack_landscaping412 after the insusp blast is over I zero it out then put it on 6-7 in open lots and 4-5 on roadways so it stays on the road.
I wonder if it's because You didn't clean the motor
I always cleaned it in the past but we had four events this week so. I left it.
You don’t need to put out one video a month these days? Come on man I thought she was a coach and a harder worker than that?
