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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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
@TopNotchLawns6 жыл бұрын
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.
