landscaping accessories

reffug · 07-01-07, 04:45 AM

Looking for a source for good but not overly expensive landscape accessories to put on my trailer. I have searched the web but really not come up with much. Want weed eater racks and a lock box to mount on the front of the trailer to hold blowers, tools, etc.........

Also looking for a source for a trailer or truck bed mounted gas tank with pump but have found that to be extremelly hard to find as well.

Any help would be appreciated.

Everything I have seen on large landscaping utility trailers as far as racks looked to be simple custom fabbed stuff. If it is an accessory, I'd assume places that sell utility trailers would have brochures available.

does the trailer have sides? if so, grab some quik fist clamps (someone on mud is selling em too): http://www.endroad.com/page/page/675042.htm.

there's also a thread about aux tanks that might have some ideas for your fuel.

Yaa if you have the ability to fab with metal it would be simple unfortunately I don't have the tools and my local fella (master welder fab man) died about 3 months ago due to cancer caused by welding fumes and gases over the years. Yes the trailer place sells racks and boxes but there prices are crazy stupid for something of that simple. Just thought somebody on here might no a cheap route to purchase some. I have the ability to mount them just don't think $200 bucks is reasonable for something like that. Heck only paid 1K for the trailer and its big enough to haul 2 scags.

Try Northern Tool. They carry racks like what you want.

Unistrut you should be able to bolt something together. It is sold in home stores in the electrical dept.

Or you could get a little MIG welder and teach yourself how to fab stuff. It only takes a few projects to pay for a little welder. It looks like most of the landscape trailers around here use home built stuff.

I'd look for a local Delta truck box dealer to find a fuel tank. They sell a nice tool box fuel tank combo which would also give you some secure tool storage.

A farm & ranch supply store should sell fuel tanks for truck beds.

I'd try a farm/ranch auction for a used fuel tank.

Go to muffler shop sometime that fab simple stuff. There are several muffler/tire places in our area that fab stuff up at a decent price.

reffug, dunno how much stuff you have in mind, but I'm a bit cash poor and wouldn't mind doing some fabwork for money. Let me know if you'd be interested, maybe we can work something out.
