    Thanks for the video!
    And if you're on the fence about placing an order for one of these, don't be. This thing is well designed, high quality, and reasonably priced.
    I bought a Kart Mate Pro this summer and can't imagine doing business without one. The efficiency is crazy - I get more done in less time, with way less fatigue, increasing my volume and profitability.
    The team at Dawson is outstanding - terrific communication, above and beyond customer service, and most importantly they're professional, reasonable guys with integrity.
    Highly recommended product and highly, highly recommended company to do business with. Pull the trigger...
    Thanks again SLC Landscaping! You informed my purchase decision!

    If you had a mini skidsteer to load the mulch instead of hand loading from the trailer, it would save time and energy. I think I'm going to get one and one of these carts!

    I like it but not being able to get a full dump of the material is a beating. They need to improve the design so you don't have to move again to get the last bit out.

    • @ArbitraryLifestyle
      @ArbitraryLifestyle 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Right? That's so annoying. Also, I would suggest a tailgate style front side so you could rake the material out as needed instead of having to dump it everytime.

  • @firstname6208
    @firstname6208 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    The problem with front mounted accessories is they are too far from the drive/steer tires. It is so much better if they are mounted behind the mower. Turn faster, no spinning, smaller turn circumference, and much less stress on the transaxel mowers. Pump and Wheel motor mowers can handle more stress, but very few small mowers are equipped. Stand backwards on the platform and reach behind to drive the mower. The issue is building a custom rear hitch for every different model of mower. I have a pr of z2s and built one hitch that fits both and it was a game changer. I have the blower buggy from jrco and i built a small frame to swap out the blower for a rubbermaid 10 cu ft dump hopper for mulch, pine needles

    Dylan, how many pitch fork scoops fit into one load? We are looking at condensing mowing routes to 3 days and opening a day or two for landscape enhancements.... Trying to boost profits, use mowing to get into the property and then upsale to make the property pop

    Not a bad product but it’s only good for mulch if you put RCA in there or topsoil it’s gonna be way too heavy for one person to dump it

    Seems like a great idea but at I'm thinking due to the distance from where the front castor wheels are to the working hydrostatic drive wheels on the mower, this puts a ton of wear and stress on those pumps. Unfortunately a no go for me but thanks for the video.

      Actually it handles it quite well. We’ve ran 4’s, 57’s, 411’s, topsoil, etc. it does fine. You just have to have a strong enough machine to run it. The kartmate holds up just fine
