Great tip to get started early! I saw the shortages and decided to start building the same setup right now. Just picked up a 7x14 dump yesterday (8/15). You guys are a huge inspiration to those of us trying to get off the ground! Blessings from out in Utah!

That was a great breakdown for your fall season equipment Shawn. I truly appreciate how you & TQ take everything into consideration (costs,materials,labor,etc.) I’m looking forward to the fall season,& how much y’all progress from last year. Enjoy your Sunday,& have a safe,productive week.💯❤️👍🏾😀🙋🏽‍♀️✝️🙏🏾🇺🇸

You do have an amazing leaf loader set up. Combine that with the Toro 6000 with it's power bagger and ExMark LazerZ if you add a power bagger to it no leaf within 50 miles is safe. You can also use those machines to offer dethatching.

i didnt realise the cost would be that high but it is wel worth it . especially if you can pay for it in 2 seasons. not sure you can include the whole trailer cost in there. it can be used for all sorts of other work from stone and mulch jobs to winter and spring clean ups etc. its return on investment is a lot sooner than just using leaf clean up money to pay for it. your right about the aluminium sides. they will outlast the trailer . wood would be cheaper but you would be repairing and replacing bits of it every year and it wouldnt look at profetional when it starts to rot . you should get a small wood chipper that you can mount at the back and can feed in branchs and small debris . you would fit a lot more in the trailer that way and only have to go to the dump with it a lot less

Awesome info and video Shawn. When you’re dumping with the does it tend to pretty rear end heavy? Seem like it might be to me. Just curious!!

Love the whole leaf box set up and completely worth the cost. Hoping you saw my comment on the last video about the tarp and mesh set up. A bunch of people seem to like the idea and I think we’re all excited to see what you end up doing with it. Thanks for all the videos, advice, and work you show all of us everyday! We all appreciate it!

Great video Shawn, I was expecting more for all that! What are you going to name that unit nickens lawn and landscape is the leaf monster! At least you have Tyler this year for leaves also, can’t wait to see it this fall again!!!

Can you give us an idea of how much we should be charging for leaf cleanups? Just us small business, residential lawn care companies. No fancy dump trailers or Billy goats. Thanks for all you guys do for our community. I learned so much from your channel.

Good evening Mr. Spencer, this is a little off topic, but, I am 17yo and was looking forward to the demo area at GIE expo this year!!! But..... I do not have my licence yet (parent rule) and I saw when I purchased the tickets that you have to have a valid licence in order to enter the demo area; which is frustrating 'cause I have logged many hours on a zero turn. Do you find that they adhere to that or is it overlooked? Any info that anyone can provide would be appreciated!!!! Thanks!!!!

Im wondering if for that money, you could have gone to a state auction and picked up an f450 or f550 chipper truck and mounted billy goat on that. Still be in the 26k range

...I'm a retired Plumber and I'm still watchin' y'all do yard work. There are a lots of smarts involved in running a business like yours. Quite honestly I think Savannaha might be the real brains of the outfit. As you say quite often " Just kidding"

Ok, run a roll off dumpster system and looking to move into debris/leaf removal, how many cubic yard is your set-up? And what is your suggestion for a good size?

Some thing I am considering that you might also is… Not sure if this would be beneficial for you, but my business is primarily planting gardens and pollinator gardens and Meadows, etc… but I think you should take all of the leaves and pile them up and compost them, then sell the leaf mold back to customers or use on installation jobs. composted leaves are top notch compost just my two cents

They're the baddest ass method for cleaning up leaves you can't get any better than those. I'll still be rocking the echo 90/10 this fall

Any equipment that can save an extra employee or 2 is worth the investment..... Your biggest expense is labor costs... Also the largest headache

Welcome back Sunday evening👍 August 15th 7:30 p.m.⛈

You need to put some kind of casters on the bottom of that hose to manuver it a little easier or your back will be toast in no time

A great "leafy" video as always. Glad you were able to take a day off over the weekend

Very informative! Good video!

Great info. Thanks for sharing

I think all the equipment that y'all use is awesome I like the leaf trailer that y'all got setup just let y'all know I watch all the videos I'm from Florida

Does that 10 year plan include the money needed to replace it all at year 11? Or is that going to be another 1.75 seasons to build that equity

That thing I'd amazing, love the top. Looks really functional, and great for driving it around!

Love your videos keep it up

Better be planning a year ahead now. I picked up 3 new Ferris mowers this March and ordered a 4th in early May. That 4th mower still hasn’t arrived. It’s so hard to predict lead times anymore.

Only thing that I would have done different. Was the way you mounted the leave vac on? I would have had something mounted in the front. A tray because when you dump The trailer, the oil and the gas move around. That's why I would've made a tray up over the box. Where the back is stationary? It is not going to go anywhere. That's the only thing I would have done different. I had a 14 foot trailer by 5 and I had it mounted in the front. Never had a problem with the vac, and it worked fantastic.

I LOVE the trailer setup!!! I'm needing to make something for leaf an debris removal...Ivys Yard Service

Hi Shawn, I am from the same area as you and was wondering were you took your dump trailer and leaf loader to get modified. I picked up a dump trailer at the beginning of the year and just got my Scag leaf loader.

How do you no how to pay yourself and what to keep as for company money? You are such positive people to watch keep up the great work.

I just can't believe how many leaves you can get in that trailer! Wow!

Good job guys be safe out there

Are you billing per hour on leaf cleanups or by the job (flat rate)

That is sweet! I bought a smaller one for my facility before I retired and it was money well spent!

I am saving up for a fs 94 and br350 I am so excited! I am 13 btw! Not to brag!😂😂 great video Spencer!!

The time you make your money back is when everything is paid for. Great video and have a great evening 👍.

Thanks for the info.😊

Hey Sean my lawn brother 👍on all the information.? With your new mower do you plan on getting the plow blades for them for winter

Ya btw don’t buy a dually with that trailer that’s my problem right now I’m 20 years old from Buffalo NY and I bought a new dually and have a suretrac 14k 14-7-4 trailer for landscaping and junk Removal and now my combined GVRW is 27k which really sucks honestly because I spent so much on the truck and trailer so ya gotta watch the weight I’m going for my CDL now because I want to keep my truck

I looked it up today and the liberty dump is 14.9 and the billy goat is 9700. Yikes! The material to build the box is probably 20 percent higher. im thinking about 35k

I put a wooden box together on a 1 ton dump giant vac twin kohler 12 inch hose cost $3,500 every thing but the dump . Mounted it to the front of the dump the best !! 39 years ago and still works better than your $28,000 dollar unit all day long.

Nice equipment and breakdown Spencers! 👌

Fantastic job on the trailer!!

Man I like that set up 👌 that dump trailer is awesome.

Great video I love the leaf setup

Awesome video bro 👍

Great information and well done video.

Great breakdown, thorough and super helpful :)

Just with the logo for the backing have you thought of black wrap in stead of paint

Knowing your limited space, could you pick up your road salt and store it in the trailer?

Thank you this was helpful. I plan on doing something like this but it will be a year or two before I can.

Great job and Hello from Southern Oklahoma!

How’s it going Spencer lawn care

Love the content! Keep up the great work! 👍

Are you geting pallets of salt or piles of salt this year?

Are you going to use the baggers this year and the debris loader set up?

Will y’all use your zone tern lawn mowers this summer

One of the nicer setups I've seen.

Just a wee idea. The leafs you pick up rather than throwing them away you could crush them and resell as fire logs. Hey presto money out of waste.

Keep up the good work!!

Yeah that trailer sick man,awesome breakdown thank you

Wonderful video today love it

Very cool video Shawn have a great week most respect you & your family

Cool video I like that leaf trailer

Great video

How much was your utility trailer? How big is it?

Ty for a great video alot of great information hope you all have a great nite n a wonderful week take care later

Loved the video 📹❤👌♥

But your trailer can be used for other things all year to help on the cost. Good info thx

Thanks bro

Is that a pj dump trailer

Yyyeeeee yeeeeee. Thanks for the info. Love the work u guys do

Great video guys

Hi I watch your video everyday tell the team I said hi and I watch their video everyday I love you guys I love the video it is Hanley

Great job

10k trailer or 26k combined, you DO need a CDL as per federal regulations!

Where do I get those hoops for the top made? Please respond. Thank you.

That is awesome!

Great video. Do you think the Billy Goat would vacuum up pine straw?

For those of you that pray or do whatever you do, could you pray for me because I am really really sick and have to get a COVID retest tomorrow and I have a strong feeling that I have it. I got a test Thursday and it was a rapid and I didn’t trust it so now I have to get a retest and I have a bad feeling.

That tax write off over the next ten years will really help you. you should see some refund years if you make your quarterly estimates properly and have a good CPA. keep buying things so you can work smarter!

That cost isn't really that bad for what you got

Make a video for the ones asking about commercials and how/when/who to approach to find the RFPs

What are you guys going to do another giveaway

Nice haircut!

Hellos

Greatest KZfaqrs on earth

Hey Spencer do you get payed monthly payment for your commercial properties

Where is the store bro? I'm interested in one leaf vacuum!!!!

I have been wanting a mower

hey spencer

Can y’all please do a shed/equipment tour of everything y’all have

I’m sorry about last time

That really cool I never new they had that before And it also a tax write off

What happened to the pink trimmer for tq

So it will take you 5-6 seasons to pay for it. I will just take a few extra trips to dump my side dump trailer.

This leaf box is worth every penny you paid for it.

Scag would of been to heavy to hang on back of truck. Billy goat is only brand that's large with low weight

And i have being wanting a backpack blower too

Sorry...$26k id not worth the investment in my eyes. Not worth it when you could be doing something else like irrigation repairs and winterizations with nearly $0 investment. It will take many Leaf cleanups to pay for it.

My grandfather used to say if it doesn’t make dollars it doesn’t make sense
