Thanks!

I installed the mulch kit this fall, I went through 4 belts before I had the mulch kit put on

@@stiehllandscaping9768 strange. Something definitely wrong

Agreed. The other thing is grease. I’ve come to realize you can not grease the decks enough.

@@CountyCorral I grease the spindles around every 30 hours. They spin fine and there’s no tension. I really believe it has something to do with the clutch

That’s what I got it works very well

You’ll love it!

Appreciate it!

Buried to the balls in debt

Haha that was my dream man. I told myself that i'd have a 6.7 by 18 and I worked my butt off to make it come true. Keep it up!

@@stiehllandscaping9768 hell yea brother proud of you keep it up 👌👌👌

Yeah mines basically unusable now

Appreciate it. Yeah echo x series are the best

Thanks! You as well

Thanks!

Appreciate it!

I’ve been liking it so far. Time will tell

I love the power I just can't stand the tube on the 9010s. I'm going to look to see if I can put a stihl br800 tube on the 9010

@@stiehllandscaping9768 let me know how you make out.I have nuclear duct tape on mine cause it was coming apart.

Go for it

@@stiehllandscaping9768 do you think you would watch it? lol

@@2Years2Farm I watch all of em 😂

This is going to be a great season! Wish you the best

It’s a lot easier when your daddy buys you a $60,000 truck.

@@Tannerbaker3331 title and loan are in my name, idk where you get your information from bud.

@@Tannerbaker3331 yea true

I plan on scaling up to several crews and moving into tree work / land clearing.

@@stiehllandscaping9768same as everyone else.

Scag is pme pf the best brands no doubt. The turf tiger was way too heavy for me so that's why I traded it for a cheetah

@@stiehllandscaping9768 Well, the Cheetah is awesome, but it’s more expensive. It lives up to it name though. I’d probably get my lawn done in a 1/3 if the time. Haha

@@tigergreg8 I’ve already cut my mowing time in half on some of my properties

@@stiehllandscaping9768 👍 Nice

I had the dealer do a detailed look over it and they couldn’t find anything. 4/5 times the belt broke was when I engaged the blades so I think the clutch may be engaging too hard

@@stiehllandscaping9768 honeslty i would try and get in the habit of turning your blades on at half throttle if you dont already do so

@@AwsomeMinecrafter651 I need to be doing that more often. I do when im thinking about it but it’s not a havit

Appreciate it, I try to buy everything I can in cash, my truck is the only thing I have taken a loan on

His dad paid for it goofy we all know he didn’t pay for this stuff lol

@@Tannerbaker3331 wouldn't say that so fast, ofcourse parents might have helped but lawncare business pays well to buy new tools. I started with only small leaf blower, now got multiple weedeaters, lawnmowers, saws. So its not really impossible, its hard work

March-Early November

lol nope

I've run the curved and straight shaft Echo 260 and 2625 edgers. I prefer the curved shaft It's more efficient, easier to maneuver on smaller lawns

I like walking beside the edger rather than directly behind it

Piranha line from Green Touch. I bought it at Equip expo but you can buy it online.

The belt is a pain to take on and off but besides that no issues out of the bagging system

For sticks and shrub trimming I have a burn pile at my house, for leaves and grass I dump at the woodline of customers properties

Honestly both are great. It comes down to what your dealer sells. You can't go wrong either way. I've personally never used and extension but it would handle that no problem.

@@stiehllandscaping9768 this other KZfaqr landscaper puts on multiple extensions (like 2-3) and trims trees 25 ft+ and profits A LOT from it. He says it voids the Stihl warranty, but he says it’s worth it because IF the powerhead dies, he still profits a lot from it. He says not a lot of landscapers in his area do trees that high, so he gets a lot of clients that way since customers like their trees small

@@FixItWithMe doesn’t void the warranty If Stihl doesn’t find out 😂

I’ll make a video on how to do it, it’s just a car magnet.

All me, all parents have given me is work ethic

Appreciate it. I have been running at 100:1 for around a year now with zero issues. I am going to try 50:1 and see if there are any differences

@@stiehllandscaping9768 great I've used both can't tell the difference 🙂

Work of mouth is number one but I also get some business through the sign on my trailer

Reinvesting throughout the years

If I did it over again I would’ve gotten the 16 but the 14 is perfect for a 2 mower setup

@@stiehllandscaping9768 thanks for the response! I’m gonna be solo so i went ahead and bought a 14ft tandem! Seems like it will do just fine

The one that broke was almost 4 years old so I doubt they would do anything. I have a replacement now though

I got it from tractor supply. I'm not sure what the exact model is.

Absolutely!

I've thought about trying battery products out, I just don't know if it's the right product for me or not.

@@stiehllandscaping9768 They also have the business version of the EGO products , I enjoy them alot . The first few years i would not had recommended them but now since the batteries have gone up to 12ah they last alot longer.

Use family and friends to help you spread the word. When I started my business I lived in and HOA. My customers shared my business in the HOA pages and Facebook groups which really helped. Word of mouth and networking is key.

Your jealousy is poking out. Better tuck that in.

Appreciate it. Keep up the hard work!

Life of the machines!

61k

Appreciate it, definitely rare these days haha

Those 18 years olds usually get help from parents to fund all this.

Hard work and determination

@@Pantera972 only thing my parents gave me was a good work ethic

@@stiehllandscaping9768 could you elaborate though. You’ve got 30-60k in equipment there not even including the truck. I’m just curious how an 18 year old was able to acquire all of that so quickly in life. Did you not have any help from parents? No shame if you did.

@@levichoward6795 I been at this since was 14. I reinvest into equipment that makes me more efficient. I’m on marketplace a lot and look for deals. Vride was bought brand new. But the other mowers were bought on marketplace. (All in cash) I bought the truck when I was 17 so of course my parents had to help me co-sign. When I turned 18 the loan was completely transferred to me. Co-sighing was the main thing my parents helped me with but that was just due to my age so everything else was gotten on my own.

I buy everything in cash so I had no debt for one thing. I had enough saved up to put a decent down payment on it as well. The payments made sense and were easily affordable with it being the only thing I have debt on. Of course my parents had to cosign since I bought it when I was 17. When I turned 18, they transferred the loan completely in my name but they did not put a dime into the truck.

@@stiehllandscaping9768 nice man congrats 💪🏽

I switched to online school in order to grow my business which has helped tremendously. I wouldn’t be at the point where I am now without doing that.

@@stiehllandscaping9768 Well you have to understand the curiosity. I wish you well hope you have a great season!

I manage around 60 account and run pretty high profit margins.

@@stiehllandscaping9768 nice stuff

I’m daddy

I agree. Been to the dealer twice but they can’t find anything, they’ve covered 2 of the belts under warranty so even my dealer knows something ain’t right

Nope
