Dons Lawn Care of Gaylord

Don’s Lawn Care- My little one man mowing and snowplowing business never made it in the Gaylord Herald Times for the last 18 years . I have always worked alone in my little lawn care business . No-one else has ever drove my equipment but me . I had too many friends that hired too many workers who destroyed their machines in just one season. I used these machines for 10 years and sold them for top dollar to replace them with new machines. They still shined like new. I climbed up on the roof of the house to take this picture and Deb thought i was a little crazy, ha,ha. But now I look back at this picture it is pretty cool to see. You can see my home made cab , the front loader I converted to fit this tractor and a home made two bag vacuum system I made for my front mount mower. I always enjoyed trying to cut costs making things myself. So I wasn’t always just making toys, ha,ha.
Mack Truck Progress- I am busy working on the last parts this week. Next Week I will start the body work and get everything primed.
Gaylord Snowmobile Trails 2011- No big snowstorms for Northern Michigan this week mean no snowmobilers coming up north.
Greenbay Packers – LOSERS !!! This should be a wake up call for the Packers, three of their last games they came close to losing but they got lucky . Their luck stopped yesterday and they better regroup because the next three games are going to be their toughest yet !! Still love the Packers !!, win or lose !
Have a great Monday !
