  • In this video I compare Green touch trimmer racks with equipment defender trimmer racks. I've had the opportunity to try both products and I only have a few complaints.

    weve got greentouch racks from 1999, still holding up strong and never had any issues.

    Finally a review that has meaning instead of trying to get kickbacks. Thank you, its been a while with all the lawn care stuff I'm watching its crazy. As one guy put it pimping yourself out for a free gas can.

    I absolutely love my Green Touch racks including their new BPS100 blower rack. It’s so quick to use and looks awesome. I like the equipment defender locking mechanism and color scheme, but I have no need to switch as I’m completely satisfied with Green Touch.

    • @TopNotchLawns
      @TopNotchLawns  Před 6 lety +1

      Hard Knox Lawn Care I’m looking forward to installing.

  • @changingseasonslandscape6142

    I have been debating for awhile between the 2.
    I had decided on Green Touch because they have a attachment for my pole saw that attaches to the trimmer rack. And most of their Rack systems take up the Least amount of space. Not crazy about the color but that’s why they make spray paint

    • @TopNotchLawns

    Great comparison! I am really looking forward to having racks this year, much better than sitting in the back of the truck! Look forward to watching when you get the new green touch racks!

    Thank you for the honest review. I actually emailed Equipment Defender two days ago. I was asking for information about their products. I never received an email back as of yet. They look like a good idea, they need to be perfected. Im now really thinking about going with green touch. Thank you

    Hey Brian, we actually just got those brackets in and have them available. We are in the process of adding pictures of them our site and they should be on shortly. The same bracket will work with the trimmer and blower racks allowing you to mount them to the outside of the trailer.

    I ran trimmer traps for years, then a few years back I went to the Xtreme series trimmer racks from green touch. Love them, had them on several different trailers since I bought them. For my handheld blowers I seem to prefer the racks that are made by Jungle Jims, and for the backpacks I still seem to prefer the trimmer trap style. Purely came down to ease of use.

    Just ordered the equipment defenders. 3 Space rack but I also have 2 ft trailer sides. I'll see how it goes, hopefully they work out. Problem is my main guy is pretty short so as Brain said, might be an issue

    • @luckylandscaping
      @luckylandscaping Před 6 lety

      Matt's Lawncare Green Touch may work better because of the option to mount on the side of your trailer

    • @MattsLawncare
      @MattsLawncare Před 6 lety

      Yea I thought about everything before I ordered them. I asked him before I ordered and they aren't much taller than what used to be on there. The 3 space was a lot shorter than the 4 space.

    The green touch racks you have are only the 3 position racks vs the equipment defender which is four so it will be taller😉. And I have the equipment defender backpack blower rack and if you turn it sideways it works very well and doesn’t take up much space. Love the racks

    • @TopNotchLawns
      @TopNotchLawns  Před 6 lety

      Tony's Lawn care I give you an A for effort Tony. Both racks are 4 position and I even moved the blower rack closer together before I shot the video. My blower prob wouldn’t even fit in it now. Either way I didn’t like them as much as greentouch for those reasons. If it works better for someone else then great for them.

    • @tonyslawncare
      @tonyslawncare Před 6 lety

      Top Notch Lawn Care gotcha i guess i couldnt see that 4th trimmer. And with the blower rack i just mean it shouldnt stick in the trailer much it should mount just like the trimmer racks it almost looks like they changed the design on the blower rack

    • @TopNotchLawns
      @TopNotchLawns  Před 6 lety

      Tony's Lawn care it’s up against the rail. It is what it is. At the most it might by an inch or two and still stick out 8. It’s hard to judge on camera. A few degrees of angle can change the perspective. That’s why I brought out the tape measure.

  • @tonyslawncare

    Your green touch was a 3 trimmer rack and equipment defender was a 4 trimmer rack so it will be alittle higher.

    @adamlesandrini312 Před rokem

    so because you went from a 3 trimmer rack to a 4 trimmer rack now your guy can't reach. it's not because of where you mounted them, though I understand mounting them to the outside would allow you to reach easier, you also went to taller racks. That's not really equipment defender's fault.
