New Jims Setup???

[4 Gardens]

Saw a Jims guy today dropping off green waste, and earlier in the week maybe the same one. I tried to get a photo but couldnt work out my phone

It was a toyota hilux ute with a green Jims cage on the back - NO trailer. Are they trying to save some cash?

No, u will still find 90-95% will still have a trailer. I make all my money by filling my trailer with green waste(trees etc)

Dont know why I didnt do this yonks ago, its brill!

Wide dual cab tipper, alot of gear is carried in the second part of the cab.
I still carry more than enough gear & plan my day in advance. Sometimes that means a little switching in the evening/morning, but that is far outweighed by not having the inconvienience of dragging a trailer.

I agree dean...for 15 years I pulled a trailer and used so much fuel and trying to park in courts and hard to get at places..last five years with the ute is bliss..plan the day ,i carry two mowers ,two whippers , two blowers , one chainsaw , atom edger ,hedger and pole as well plus heaps of room for bagged grass.....I only use the trailer for the ride on which has a spring ramp ...planning the day is the key and this spring will test it well with heaps of grass bags
