6 Key Factors to Consider Before Purchasing A Trailer

Professionals in the landscape industry know that when you are in business, time equals money. The only true valuable resource we have in life is time. Every investment should be about spending our time wisely, in every facet of our lives. In our businesses, investing in quality products and equipment not only allows us to spend our time wisely, but creates a healthier work life environment. Purchasing a trailer should not just be looked at as a business investment, but a quality of life investment. With over 50 years experience in this incredible industry, it is our pleasure to team up with the Lawn Care Influencers Summit 2019 and share 6 things to consider and look for before purchasing a trailer. As a trailer manufacturer, in the production of the trailer, it is easy to know where to cut costs to keep the prices low and push more sales. In our experience; however, this does not serve the end user for the long haul. It increases sales for the manufacturer but the end user gets a lower quality trailer that is not built to last. When you’re in the market for a trailer you want to look for a manufacturer that has you in mind. Here are some key factors to consider.

Quality Lighting Systems: There is nothing more frustrating than a trailer with poor wiring that is not assembled properly. Wiring that is dangling and clipped along the frame is easily damaged and once damaged becomes unusable and costly to repair. When looking at lighting make sure that the wire is encased and protected to ensure dependability everytime you hook up.

Heavy Duty/ Replaceable Fenders: Dents happen; it comes with the industry. Fenders welded directly to the trailer are not easily replaceable. They are costly and eat up time in the work day needing repair. Once dented, the overall value of the trailer is also depreciated. Visual appeal is diminished and user value decreased. Look for heavy duty and replaceable fenders that bolt to the trailer. That way, when dents happen, fenders can be easily and quickly replaced.

Quality Attachment Systems: Cheap ball hitches are to keep the cost down, period. They ensure a future purchase of a better quality hitch later on. Professionals know how important a quality adjustable quick hitch system is, so get it from the start. Focus on quality and functionality.

Sturdy Sides, Floor and Tailgates: It is common to see a steel frame with light duty wood or tin side panels. Look for a trailer that is constructed with tubular steel and dimensional sheeting. The trailer will weigh and cost more, but will be stronger, more dependable and last longer.

Secure Tie Down and Safety Gates: Trailers that are constructed with the end user in mind are constructed with functional side rail tie down capacity and secure rear door locking systems to eliminate safety concerns. Spending time trying to secure things is time wasted. Look for trailers with quality side rail tie down capacities and safety gates. Safety mechanisms in place minimize work hours and costly accidents.

Attachments and Storage Locations with Locking Systems: A well organized trailer tells customers they are working with a well organized company, as well as being a great marketing tool while out and about. Time spent looking for unorganized equipment is time that can be used doing the job. Look for a trailer that combines storage for all of your tools, liquids, and safety gear in strategic locations with locking systems to keep your equipment safe and your work day flowing.

At Green Valley, we believe being in the landscaping industry is one of the most noble professions. We strive for efficiency, function, quality, and versatility in our products because we know the value of a trailer that is built for the end user. We hope you’ve found these factors to consider beneficial when you’re in the market for your own trailer. See it as a life and time investment and not only will your business flourish, but your life will prosper as well. As part of the Lawn Care Influencers Summit 2019, we wish you a safe, productive and enjoyable season ahead! #LawnCareInfluencersSummit2019#LawnCareInfluencersSummit2019

Water spots?

How frustrating is it to wash your car on a beautiful sunny day only to have it dry with MILLIONS of water spots?  You think to yourself, this doesn’t seem to happen when I take it for a car wash at the gas station.  Most people think its an issue with the soap they used or how dirty the car may have been to start with.  GUESS AGAIN: It’s the water, yes that’s right, the water.

Water has minerals in it and these minerals are responsible for the spotting we see when our car dries in the hot sun.  When you go through a car wash, you drive past the blower at the end, the purpose is to blow the water away from the clean surface so that there is no water left to dry and show spotting.  Shammys are used with the same intention, to remove the water from the vehicle before the water dries.

Depending on where you live, your tap water produces water with a range of minerals mixed into the water source and this range is measured by parts per million.  For me, my tap water is roughly 200 parts per million.  To be able to clean your car and have it dry spot free, you would need to filter the tap water and remove the minerals to a calculation of 10 parts per million or less. 

If you enjoy washing your car at home on a Sunday afternoon, make sure to remove the water with a shammy or other lint free towel before the water dries and use any soap recommended for cars.  If you can park in area that receives shade, it will give you more time to dry the car without the spotting.

Window Cleaning makes home more Efficient in [Cambridge]

Did you know that cleaning your windows will actually make your home more efficient??????

                Most windows have coatings on the glass to make them retain heat in the winter and keep your home cool in the summer. This coating can break down if left dirty over a long period of time. By cleaning your windows on an annual basis you can preserve this coating and make your home more efficient.

How often should they be cleaned?????

                This is a tricky question to answer. It depends on where your live. Here in Cambridge we are an aired climate. This means we have a lot more dust blowing around. We also have quite a few new housing developments going on, which means there is a lot more open dirt constructions zones adding to that dusty air. We would recommend 2 times a year to make sure at least the outside windows are kept clean and the dirty dusty air will be kept off the coated windows for a long period of time.

Window Cleaning Tip's in [Cambridge]

After the long winter months, we love nothing more than opening the windows to let in the crisp spring air here in Cambridge. We don't consider the fact that the dirty and dingy screens mess with the air quality not to mention the dirt and debris stuck to the screens that can blow into the house. Clean screens will help keep coughing to a minimum and let in all that fresh air we have been missing. Here are some tips on how to clean your screens. Techniques differ depending on how dirty they are.
If your screen is only slightly dusty with minimum debris I would recommend keeping the screens on and using a lint brush, this is a gentle way to clean them with minimal work involved.

If your vacuum cleaner has a soft brush attachment you can run the brush softly along the screen to suck up any unwanted dust.

 if this doesn't work  it's time to remove the screens

If your screens have dirt caked on I would recommend taking them outside and wetting them first with your garden hose then using a soft cloth and a mixture of vinegar and water to help remove any debris, for harder to remove gunk you can use a mixture of water and dish soap, don't push too hard though!  Then rinse the screen and lightly tap it to remove access water. allow to dry completely  before you put them back on the windows.
