Awesome 👍 Nick I'm not as big as you but I have done the same thing. It is important not to work 6 to 7 days a week. I also schedule projects for Saturday. And the mower jack for mobile purpose jungle gym has a nice one
Keeping on clients and employees can be difficult to handle, but the decisions you've got to make regarding you and your business is just as important as your clients and those that work for you. Being that I've worked on the course for 4yrs, I've seen 3 assistants and 12 coworkers come n go, my supervisor has a difficult time finding those that want to work and take pride in their job. The equipment we use is only Toro equipment, and costly equipment to keep running. We've got three tri-plexes that're over 20yrs old still going. I enjoy your videos!
Nick you have the right idea keep the best customers keep it small as long as you’re making a lot of money less employees less equipment breakdowns less equipment I’ve been through the same thing keep it really comfortable if someone quits you could do it yourself no worries you’re number one is your wife and child that’s the goal in life have a happy family a good income and stay healthy
2 man team is essential in landscaping, I’m with you on that. If the third is necessary then great but as long as you can do it with 2 people save some money 💰
Would you please do a vid giving your advice on how to start your own lawn care business. Any tips on what you’ve learned over the years would be great!
Sassy worth 2 of some of those other guys you have had. Keep grindin Snow in Michigan Sunday !!! Enjoy that mid south weather bro! Sassy the man!!! #loyaltyiskey
Best jack is a forklift lol that's how i do mine. Before I had a forklift I just ran the mower half up on the back of my trailer. Another option is to mount a winch in the ceiling of the shed or garage should work nicely
Was wondering when you'd do this one! They'll also tell each other when they're getting eaten and the others will increase the acid in their leaves to protect them!! Nice one Sassy! 🇯🇲🇯🇲✅✅
Scag makes the strongest mower for mowing industrial properties. Not Wright, ferris, gravely, or exmark will hold up mowing what we mow. We mow scrap yards. Scag is the only one that has stayed together. All others get demolished on our accounts. To each his own tho. I really like the green and white one they made for you. Greens my favorite color lol. Thanks for the vidja bud! Have a good day!
Jungle jack or a small gurney with a chain pulley. You could build a frame around the inner structure of your shed with 4x4 or 6x6” and drill a heavy duty eye hook(supporting mowers full weight so you can lift the back as well if need be). Then hook a chain pulley to that. Replace anything from blades to engines using that with little hassle. You guys are a cool team. Love the mower branding.
no need for a jack. park the trailer close enough to the compressor if tour using one. put trailer gate down and pull mower off trailer put one mower on right side of trailer with just the left caster wheel on the edge of the gate 3-4” from the side pull up enough to drop the blades. put one on the other side as well. just before dropping blade closest to the ramp rotate it by hand so it doesnt hit the gate and drops down to the ground
You need to Work on your business not in it. I owned a cleaning company. I started will 1 worker. After 5 years of working on my business i had 163 staff. I sold on my 10 year in business and retired at 50. Im now 60 and just might get into the lawncare buisness. Love your channel and Sas is a blast
You can get some quick jacks they can be moved around and put in different places. You have to have an air compressor thats how they work but definitely check the quick jacks out. They hold cars so they should hold a ninja mower. Keep slicing and dicing and making every thing nice keep up the good work c- ya
Nick, I made an attachment for my engine hoist. It's a 1.5" round tube with an eyelet welded to the center. It goes under the front caster arms behind the caster wheels. Gives you full access under the deck to change blades, scrape the deck, change spindles, etc. Harbour Freight engine hoist-$179, metal and welding-$25. It's rock solid. I can text or email pics if you want, and if you like it, I'll make you one and ship it to you.
Check this out! This jack is awesome for mowers. Harbor Freight 750lb mower jack. www.harborfreight.com/750-lbs-heavy-duty-atvmower-high-lift-jack-63298.html
Best strategy... Do less work while focusing on better paying contracts. Great to see. Good job. We do the same job in Montreal. You learn these little lessons with time. Less work, more money... Get rid of the weeds.
Mount a come-along winch from the truss in you shed to lift you mowers that is what I have been doing for years. Use a 1in tie down strap and wrap each front tire and lift from the center with the come-along.
Get the Fischer Lift for the mowers from Harbor Freight. I know Harbor Freight stuff is iffy....this lift has worked well for 2 seasons, and I see lots of others use it as well.
How about the old school metal ramps that are used for cars or most auto parts stores sells a set called the rhino ramps which have two different weight limits on two different sets. Around $40 a set
My. Front deck flips up. And on my zero turn i use a air powered motorcycle jack like musty1 uses.. Mine is a Black Widow Extra Wide Air/Hydraulic Motorcycle Lift - 1,500 lbs. Capacity
Take some 6x6 and some pressure treated 2x10's and build your self a ramp to pull the hole mower up on it so you can crawl up under it to change or clean your blades and under the deck
Just go to harbor freight and get a hydraulic jack. Hell, I've even just lifted the mower and prop it on the catcher. Although I see you dont use catchers 😂
Get a mower jack that you park both front or rear wheels on and is powered by air or manual power they work good and they are solid and safesince the wheels are locked in no chance of rolling or sliding off and causing injury
Why do you need so many standers my opinion is you need one stander one zero and one pusher and a 4 wheel drive for bad weather and big hills and stuff like that
I made my own mower lift that fits into my folding engine hoist and i put an air over hydraulic cylinder on it and it works great i can stand my mowers up on their hind end!
Love the brotherhood, no competition when we are all out to make a living. I enjoy helping companies when they request info on my equipment.
Wow, he hasn't heard of the Wright mowers... He obviously doesn't have the Wright mower!!😂
Great video! A lot of very good points with battles I have been fighting as well! Thanks Nick

Good video. The guy was like what is that. The Ninja mower. Good job on that plants job. Looks awesome.
Great video nick. “Never heard of Wright” lol

Shined on him with the SG Wright! Let him know "its levels to this." ha ha
Love your son! Best decision ever, money can't replace those younger years shared.

I been spending alot of time at one clients place this last week.

Now im painting back fence.
Alot of work but good pay.
Lol

If you have a job, you accept anything that comes along. If you are running a business you define the time, clients and size of your operation.
Would you please do a vid giving your advice on how to start your own lawn care business. Any tips on what you’ve learned over the years would be great!
I love your plan Nick . It just happened to me lost 3 guys and we have a 100+ properties time to drop the crap.
Sassy worth 2 of some of those other guys you have had. Keep grindin

Hey Nick it's Rocco another great video as always please keep them coming there appreciated thanks your ninja brother Rocco from ct
You cut in florida?
For just changing the blades, I use my steel car ramps. Solid, sturdy, no risk of the mower falling on you.
Use a Wright jack,
Ed needs to design a Wright jack for this purpose.
GRT idea!😎
Hey spend as much time with your kids as you can. I’ve been down that road I missed a lot. Always working.
Yep, you cant get those years back.

Nick we use a mower jack we got at Harbor Freight for our Hustler zero turn & Wright stander. We've had it for a year now now with no problems.
300 lb. atv/mower lift $89.99 at Harbor Freight.com
Jungle jack or a small gurney with a chain pulley.

Hi Nick
Great video
I use MO-JACK FOR MY MOWERS
I’ve tried regular jack with some stands, securing the back wheels just Incase
I use a fischer atv/mower lift. Got it from harbor freight. Works good and can adjust wheel holder for different size mowers.
What’s up ninjas!! Loyalty is 🔑
Harbor freight sells some nice lawn mower Jack's and plenty of others to recommend checking them out very reasonably priced too
Sassy must be cold he got some witches pointers poking out.
no need for a jack. park the trailer close enough to the compressor if tour using one. put trailer gate down and pull mower off trailer put one mower on right side of trailer with just the left caster wheel on the edge of the gate 3-4” from the side pull up enough to drop the blades. put one on the other side as well. just before dropping blade closest to the ramp rotate it by hand so it doesnt hit the gate and drops down to the ground
Hey nick I just bought the jungle jack and it really great it lifts my 50 zero turn with no issue and it sturdy
Jungle Jack works good for us. Ballard also sells a nice jack too and they’re releasing a version 3 pretty soon.
A 3 ton floor jack from Harbor Freight should be plenty to lift the mowers for service. Could also get a set of jack stands to back up your jack.
We got a mower jack from tractor supply, it's ok, but lately we've been using a 1023E compact utility tractor with buckets to lift mowers
As a plumber i agree nick. Bigger doesnt always mean more money. Less over head less stress, more time with family is worth much more.

I did the exact same thing with my business. The stress of depending on other people is not worth it. Life is to short
Sassy must get turned on
when he sees twilight. Lol
Family first brother!
Ballard innovative products. Super Jack V2. Version 3 they’re pretty good I haven’t had any problem with it since I bought it

Yep, if they don't want to install a bigger gate, they aren't the ones for me.---Quality clientele, not quantity.
We have a large I beam chain hoist we lift the mowers with. Works great and very confident being under the mowers
I would recommend the jungle jack. Had it for 3 years and lifts 15 mowers a day and still solid.
Check this out! This jack is awesome for mowers. Harbor Freight 750lb mower jack.

You should check out Walker 's 45 inch deck. It lifts up to a 90 degree angle dor stowing and cleaning.
I also had to add shear pins to all my spindles to keep the comp's rebar from trashing my mowers. play it safe, dude
Mount a come-along winch from the truss in you shed to lift you mowers that is what I have been doing for years. Use a 1in tie down strap and wrap each front tire and lift from the center with the come-along.

Very Very Nice! Its crazy how the company made a special mower for you. Fu@k!n? ninja Batman shit. How many yards do you cut?
I structure my jobs with weekends free, but the weather wreaks havoc on that sometimes. No way around it that I've found anyway.
Harbor freight Fischer Jack.. best lawnmower jack under $200 especially if you use the harbor freight coupon on the app or catalog.
I second this comment
I use an ATV/riding mower Jack for my stand-on
Nick I would invest and go with the MoJackPro 750 best thing I ever bought. I feel safe when I use it.
Get yourself a motorcycle jack I use it on my big ferris mowers to change the blades and clean out the mower deck
Family comes first.. I work to live not live to work..
To do blades get chassis stands. Jack it up put stands under it.
Sometimes u make more money on paper. I think it’s better to try and consolidate to a smaller area to cut down gas and travel time
I never hate on any lawn care i respect them and sometimes admire their setup, you Always Got to remember you cant cut "all" the yards
Jungle Jim’s jungle jack it hooks under the front of the deck then just push down and lifts the deck up can do blades that way too
Ninja Mike in the house!!!
When you started your landscaping business was it hard to get up and going because I want to start my own landscaping or lawn care business
David Craver was t easy that’s for sure
How about the old school metal ramps that are used for cars or most auto parts stores sells a set called the rhino ramps which have two different weight limits on two different sets. Around $40 a set
Jack.. kabota bx FEL bucket. Drive front wheels in and up she goes.
Nick how about a motorcycle lift for your mower maintenance?
My. Front deck flips up. And on my zero turn i use a air powered motorcycle jack like musty1 uses.. Mine is a Black Widow Extra Wide Air/Hydraulic Motorcycle Lift - 1,500 lbs. Capacity
Back your lawnmower up on car ramps and then jack up the front to get to the blades
Take some 6x6 and some pressure treated 2x10's and build your self a ramp to pull the hole mower up on it so you can crawl up under it to change or clean your blades and under the deck
Just go to harbor freight and get a hydraulic jack. Hell, I've even just lifted the mower and prop it on the catcher. Although I see you dont use catchers 😂
Get a mower jack that you park both front or rear wheels on and is powered by air or manual power they work good and they are solid and safesince the wheels are locked in no chance of rolling or sliding off and causing injury
I know I'm a little late but get a engine host and a chain works perfect
Go to Ballard equipment great simple jacks just for mowers
i own a few wrights, still havnt found a good way to jack them up
Wow sassy you are 100% correct I looked it up on Google and the tree does change its acid content to deter the deer
Use the gate of the trailer save money save time
Get the harbor freight jack 3 ton $80.they sell the ones that bolt right to the mower also Milwaukee impact gun blades are off in less then a minute
Hey nick I'm retired from Texas. I like watching my grass grow instead of mowing. What happened to James. I try to keep up with your videos.
I use a chain hoist that hangs from a truss in my shed for changing blades.
Daytona brand car truck low profile r 200$ jacks are sweet at harber freight 100$ small big r 200$ great video
At my work they have winch on ceiling and they just hook to front of mower
Hi Nick, I use car ramps for my 60" exmark and 54" kabota
THIRSTY THURSDAY!!!!
Green touch makes a jack.
For energy, try a bulletproof coffee. 450 calories.
Habor freight 3 ton floor jack best bang for buck and muilt purpose for stuff like flat tires on your truck or trailer
Mowjack is the real jack and safety 1st. $200 is not bad for a good jack.
Why do you need so many standers my opinion is you need one stander one zero and one pusher and a 4 wheel drive for bad weather and big hills and stuff like that
We stack two oil changing ramps and put it against a pole it works pretty good
I use a floor Jack from harbor freight....use it on the truck and trailer too....
mow jack works for me real good
I made my own mower lift that fits into my folding engine hoist and i put an air over hydraulic cylinder on it and it works great i can stand my mowers up on their hind end!
A mower jacket!
