i don't have a welder, yet , and can't afford one, yet...

but i did have some 3/4 plywood laying around and some black paint...

this thing will be temporary, as in probably a year at least. i wanna go metal after i buy that welder...

anyway, let's begin...

i got 1 coat of black paint, then realized after putting my saws away i forgot to cut the lid at a pivot point :laughing:


oh well, i will catch that tomorrow after mowing...

Another thing you could do instead of welding one is buy a toolbox thats made for the bed of a pickup truck. I recently rebuilt a trailer and I used one of the toolboxes made for a pickup truck bed and it worked great. I used one of the ones that are supposed to be kind of hidden in the bed so it doesnt have the "wings" its just flat. The one I used is similar to the one in the following link.

Ya something like that would definatly be good for a 5x10 trailer. My brother has one very similar to that one on the trailer he uses for landscaping and it works out good. It has plenty of room for stuff and you can put stuff under it. The trailer that I put one on was a 16 foot trailer so I had plenty of room for the other kind.

Yeah, that would be a good setup, plus some trimmer/blower racks like you mentioned before. It would look REALLY organized then!! :thumbsup:

Browns Lawn Service said:

yea, my push mower and/or rider would slide up under something like that nicely. thus i wouldn't lose floor space...


Yeah definatly would be saving some floor space...could you post the pictures of the one you made when you get a chance...im curious to see what it looks like.

it's still under construction and i have worked 2 - 12 hours days in a row, so all i have done since these pics are put the first coat of black paint on...

Looks like a nice toolbox. Definatly a good thing just to put some things in and keep everything neat. Where that box is is where i put the toolbox on my trailer. It hangs over the edges a little but the way we have it mounted it is secure. That tube would be the only problem for you. Mine did not have anything there. You did a nice job making the box around that tube. Looks good:thumbsup:

thanks... and yes, the bar right in the middle forced me to make something custom, otherwise i would have bought a tongue toolbox... and it will be nice to get my oils, tools, maybe gas cans (that will be a close fit) and orange pylons off my trailer floor...

it'll do until i get a welder and make something a little nicer. after work tomorrow i am headed out for a long holiday weekend so construction on this little toolbox will continue next week sometime...

You should get a trailer like this: It has trimmer racks, a blower rack, and a little toolbox thing. Check out the picture on this website: Lawn Care Trailers :thumbsup:

That is very similar to the one my brother has when i said something before about that toolbox.

D2hornets58 said:

Yeah its a nice trailer...those style trailer with the racks/toolbox are perfect for landscaping

Browns Lawn Service said:

it is perfect for a one man show, which i am. but i do intend on growing and more need more mower options in the future. i could probably get a nice walk behind on the trailer as is, but not a second ZTR.

but if my business grows to the needs of a second ZTR i will gladly upgrade my trailer. in the meantime i wanna customize this one to fit my needs a little better.

blower rack

trimmer rack (used, broken 3 unit, with engine supports) purchased. modifications and welding required. coming soon...

elevated tool box...

Browns Lawn Service said:

ok, i finished up this toolbox... it's ghetto, but effective...

i decided to go without hardware and just use bungees for now.

plus i really want a welder which would mean this box will go when i obtain one...
