    Trailer floor (and walls) look great! So are you leaving the ranch to concentrate on your new lawn care business?

    • @OffThePathWithKevin
      @OffThePathWithKevin  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      No never! The ranch is part time 2-3 days a week and the rest of the days I am running the landscaping trailer! At some point as it grows I may have to reduce my ranching days but we will deal with that when the time comes!

    Add the horse trialer mat material for the flip down on the door at the back. It will protect the door when open. Loved the video.

    I have always used coppertox It’s a good treatment for wood. Used it on shrimping trawl boards on small boats. Any wood that will be subject or submerged in a wet environment. It can be painted over. Good on decks, docks, piers bulwarks, fence post basically any wood that is in wet conditions

    I'd put a rubberized material on the small piece bottom that flips on the tailgate to protect the side that touches the ground/concrete. That should help save that extend the life of it. The flooring solution looks great. Just hope it's lawn mower/equipment friendly over time.

    Hey hey my brother, looking awesome. Great video. I'll give you a little pro tip if you ever decide to do it again. Take a hand held fertilizer spreader, toss your flakes in it and boom, super easy and awesome control over the disbursement of the flakes. Can't wait to see more my friend.

      We have been running all summer and so far we haven't had any cracking or damage to the floor yet! I will say when it's wet it can make the ramp a little on the slippery side even with the flakes! But it makes for easy cleaning of the floors each week when we clean the equipment!
