Hey steve i think this would be a good topic to do a podcast or video topic on. Whats good to use to secure your equipment. Meaning like keeping your mowers in place

Lawn care business tips
Absolutely!

Did you decide on any specific product yet? If so why did you choose that one?

Can you show us a picture of your new straps in use?


Also, what about these jungle jim mower holders?

It's in the link on the post there. I think you ride your wheel into the device. It snaps up and locks. You can then put a pin in it to hold it secure.

Check it out and tell me what you think of it.

I do mower delivery and service not mowing so my trailer is busy right now but as soon as I can I will take a picture and post it. I should have posted that when I posted what I use as well considering I have to load different sized equipment all of the time it affected what I have to use.

But do remember you have to tie down a mower in 4 places to be legal in most places.

I was just looking at this .

That one device is designed to hold a mower to the trailer? How does it work?
