We are a lawn care company operating in The Villages FL and surrounding areas. This channel is set up to share some thouhts and ideas on lawn care and some of our daily routines.
I just rented that top dresser this weekend. What a timesaver I used to do it with a wheelbarrow and spreading it with a shovel and then raking it with the backside of the rake.
I possess identical trailers. The cables on both sides are disconnected, but the spring winding system remains intact. To rectify this, would I follow the same procedure for both sides, adjusting tension on the springs last? As the actual spring is not under tension right now. Lowering the door, attaching cables on both sides, eliminating slack on both ends, and then increasing tension on the springs by rotating them. Does this sequence of steps align with the correct logic?
Pro tip here as I have well over a thousand hours in a track loader over my years... Always lift the boom arms all the way up when approaching the trailer and then curl the bucket down sliding the materials in... This will not only allow you to see what you are doing but it completely eliminates the bucket pin point on the arms from hitting the trailer... Then all you have to do is concentrate on the bucket!
Learning curve. Takes time to be proficient. What you should do is practice scooping full and dumping high over the pile and how to guide a load off the bucket.
I also have a custom Load Trail tilt to haul our JCB Teleskid and I love it. Funny because the JD 325G was our second option. We got 102” wide was a necessity for us loading wider vehicles.
I have the identical setup. Loosening the pulleys and taking up the cable slack - that part is completely clear. What's not clear to me is how does simply taking up the slack allow the spring to work when you're actually operating the door.
Tension is already on the spring from winding it in with the tools. I just did some final adjustments to even out the cables by loosening the pulley and making the loose side match the tighter side when the door was closed. It will all come together once you start doing it
Great job showing and telling, learning I am thanks again for showing telling. Toro looks like the winner to me to, cause improved more on the lawnmower. Thanks again for showing telling have a good one day see ya on the next video see ya bye.
I just started making some content, and I'm very impressed with this video. Good shots, great angles, lighting, clear audio, nice music. You're inspiring me! I'd love some pointers or some comments if you ever take a peak at any of my content you clearly know what you're doing! Subscribed!
Could I use this trailer with a leave vac? Hope the vacuum on the front platform and make a box on the trailer. And also have a lawn mower on that front platform. With a bagger, please comment back and let me know.
I do think it was worth noting the cost of both... lol I think most people will say Toro is better but your looking at a price difference of $2,000 for just about everything Toro compared to scag products
@@NE-Explorer Yes, I pulled ours up 1 piece at a time to make sure everything went back exactly where it came from. Just use a small (1/2 gallon size) garden sprayer to applied it and give it time to dry. Then put it back in. Fairly straight forward.
I couldn’t say exactly but we hardly ever have to change the batteries. So at least 6 months if day to be safe but I honestly feel they last longer than that.
@@Oxford_Lawn hmmm, mine lasted thru winter and it's been over a year now on the first set of batteries. I'll probably change them in the fall if they make it.
They do fold in when driving through brush or anything that may hit them. The magnets are strong enough to hold them in place, so its easy enough to reposition them when youre back in the clear.
As I understand it based on our use, F250 super duty minimum but that’s also going to be based on the weight of the materials you will be using the trailer for. We just purchased an F350 as it was a bit heavy for our current truck when fully loaded down
Amazing job but I must ask if investing that kind of money in the mulch mate trailer, topdresser and the truck to haul it. Also not to forget the materials that have to be bought and loaded into the trailer. Is it worth it? No disrespect intended but is there enough customers that will make return in investment?
In our area absolutely!! We did a test run with a regular dump trailer to test the waters before making the investment. We are now running the trailer 4 days a week. The other 2 we are doing the dethatching and shortcutting jobs in preparation for the other work of topdressing. It’s been great but it may not be for everyone depending on their area and clientele and also just a good local constant supply of fresh compost.
@@Oxford_Lawn it’s definitely something I want to do one day but scared to do it at the moment maybe in time I’ll do it but thanks for the reply and take care
My install was harder, I had to buy my door during my coop build to get the hole perfect, no second chances when installing on steel reinforced block and concrete, im building a hurricane proof chicken bunker lol, im test fitting everything now during the stucco phase.
