My names Ryan i'm 25 I've been into diesels for about 10 years now, got my first diesel at 19 built it some had fun with it and crashed it not even a month after I turned 21 on labor day, parted it out made some money, bought another few 2wd cummins and sold the last one in march of 2011, went registered my landscape company with the state of ct and bought my first ford 7.3 diesel after searching craigslist for about 4 hours a day for a month. That truck has made me some serious money, It has gotten me to where my business is today. and 5 days ago I purchased my first "new" truck a 2010 f350 diesel fx4 lariat crew cab short bed, with navigation, black interior, sunroof, back up camera, audiophile sound system, factory 20's keypad entry, the only option it is missing is the flip down dvd player for the rear seats. my plans are to do the dpf and cat /delete spartan tuner, egr delete a little later down the road, then do a 3" lift with a 22" bmf novakanes with 37" toyo open country m/t's paint the grille to match the body of the truck, buy oem harley davidson headlights, install my recon smoked cab lenses, order a set of the recon smoked mirror lenses. And I plan to upgrade the stereo system too, I want more bass, factory sub is not enough. and now for some pictures!
started out mowing lawns when I was 15 I used to walk down the street and cut the neighbors lawns with the walk behind in the middle and had only a handheld blower.
then in spring of 2005 when I was 16 and had a drivers license my dad sold the walk behind, and co signed for a zero turn rider, and he took the 1000 he got for the walk behind which was also a scag and hydrostatic and put that down on the new rider which was only a 48" cut but it would cut much faster and I went on to use this mower 7 years with no issues, then I decided to trade it in with 985 hours on it still looking new. the dealer gave me 3950 for it. I only paid 6300 new so I figured that was pretty fair, and took their offer. I bought a new scag 61" cheetah with a 34hp kohler motor in june of 2012 it now has almost 500 hours on it a little over a year old. no major issues yet.
here's my 97 powerstroke the day I bought it with 238k on it, and its been a ct plow truck its whole life. If that doesn't say built ford tough I don't know what would.
here's a picture of the trailer I used from 2005 until fall of 2011.
my truck lettered up with some 33's on it.
my cheetah setup for fall clean ups, with my newly purchased bagger system and 60" tine rake for it, talk about a money making machine, that whole setup is an animal!
