Looking at starting a solo lawn care business, soooo glad I found your videos, going to mimic your trailer just a bit smaller. Well thought out and very neat and most importantly functional.
This is the best looking landscaping trailer I have seen . Well done!!
Thank you! We wanted it to be perfect for our target work scope!
You can add custom trailers to your business. Nicely done! Very impressive Kevin.
The thought has crossed my mind!
Just short of genius Kevin! Now you're making my mind go crazy with 12 volt ideas. Awesome job and thanks for the new channel once again. 🎉
Thanks! Glad you like it! I had to limit myself to what I was trying to accomplish with this! You could very easily spin out of control and keep adding!
Thats one great-looking Tralor and Ford Work Truck
Always a great looking work truck!
Wow! That is one fancy, decked out trailer! Great job!
Thank you!
Install a fused master switch right after the battery output. You'll protect the battery and be able to kill all power when not in use. Very nice!
The battery is protected by the low voltage protection component! There is no need for a switch to kill power output!
I love learning new thing. Great videos. It makes me think outside the box on some of my projects!
Thanks!
You could go solar like the RV life..single solar panel on the roof, lithium battery connected to the junction box and there you go....A stand alone, unlimited power landscaping enterprise....Plus, you could put battery chargers in there for battery powered items if you go that route in the future. Thanks for sharing.
The system could easily be changed to run off a 12v battery in place of the dewalt and you could wire it up to also charge off the truck when towing it!
@@OffThePathWithKevin Did you consider a portable power station, like a Jackery? You could charge it from roof top solar panels. It has several output capabilities including 12 VDC and 110 VAC. That would give you almost unlimited options of what you could do with its output.
We have one that is how we run our portable 12v cooler for drinks throughout the day!
Very professional Kevin. I wish you were close to us for work I'd have you working for me doing landscaping because if the quality of your work is one halve of this it's 10 times better then most of the people we have. Good job.
Thanks! I cut yards pretty good also!
Great video! Thanks. And wicked truck!
Thank you!
Have you ever thought as a side business to customize trailers for people? Horse trailers, landscaping, motorcycle, etc. etc etc I would pay 100-150 an hour plus materials for that kind of work easy.
After this series of how I built mine it has been brought up several times! I would gladly build someone a trailer if they were intersted!
Great job.
Thanks!
You’re incredibly smart id pay you to do my trailer because I know I would definitely mess something up
Thanks! Once I decided I want to do something, well I try to do it the best I can!
Nicely done 👍🏻
Thank you!
Wow That is amazing! Great job 😊
Thanks!
Props you you going the extra mile even thinking of the low voltage shutoff. I’m lazy would have put a Milwaukee top off on the bench and plugged a power strip in. 😂
Thanks! I wanted to build this trailer and set it up to help us be successful!
Now you need to install a remote hidden camera for security.
We have security things in place but those are a secret!
Nice!
Thanks!
Awesome trailer and all your mods are first rate! Love the lighting!
Thanks! We tried to plan it and execute it to be the best setup for our needs!
Will the led display drain the battery when not being used? I think the dewalt battery will be fine, maybe just a high amp hour. Nice job otherwise
Yes the LED display does use power even when all other things are off! So far a 4ah battery covers me for the day!
Nice job
Genious!
How long does the battery last? Wonder if you decide you need more power if you could put a solar panel on top and use the extra power to charge up your batteries for your tools too?
So far a 4ah battery last me a whole day of mowing! The system is set up to where I could change just a few things and run a lithium battery and I could wire it up to charge off the truck!
This turned out great bro. Nice work!
Thanks!
👍👍👍
Thanks!
Great job!! I don't have Dewalt batteries, i have toro. I tried to find the toro battery holder to step down converter on Amazon but couldn't find it. Do you by chance have a link for it?
Sorry I did some looking and can't find anything for the Toro batteries, even tried to find just the batter output device and then you could wire in the step down converter! Do you know if any other brands of batteries are also compatible with the toro stuff?
@OffThePathWithKevin oh ok, thanks for checking. I can't find anything compatible for Toro. I may have to just break down and buy a dewalt battery. I do have Kobalt battery equipment also and Ryobi.
You lost me at this wire. 😂😂😂
Alecia said the same thing!
Nice!!!! How long does the Dewalt battery last when your using the trailer all day? Ryobi is a lot better than Dewalt. Love the led lights. How much did all the things you bought for this project cost? Over all it looks great! Thank you
One 4 ah battery last all day! But I am only using it as needed it's not on running all day! I have a how much this whole project cost coming soon!
What is the purpose of the terminal strip? Why wouldnt you just go directly to where you want to go? It feels liek the terminal strip is just another component that could fail? (Not sman expert, just curious)
The terminal strip is there so there is a positive connection between components and not a splice!
Terminal strips are used in all sorts of places, including industrial and military applications. As Kevin said, they are a great way to make connections to multiple devices. They are reliable, safe, and easy to work with including initial installation and making changes later. I am a retired nuclear power plant worker (both US Navy and commercial) and terminal strips with crimped connections are everywhere!
I came from offshore drilling and we use junction boxes and terminal strips on everything! A sliced connection is a no no in those environments!
C4YT God Bless
Thanks!
How do you charge that battery up ?
I have a charging station at the house and any batteries I used during the day get recharged at night!
now all you need is customers
We have lots of customers already!
@@OffThePathWithKevin how did you do it? im struggling with my lawn mowing business. help me 😔 i only have 2 customers lol
I go looking for work! Once I finish my work for the day I don't go home, I go looking for yards, knock on doors talk to people!
how are you going to market your business? this is my main question
It's actually very easy to grow a business nowadays! Most of the time just showing up makes you better that 90% of your competition! I go looking for work, I don't sit at home waiting for the customer to find me, I go find them!
