I put the 90 to work last night, does an excellent job pulling the lawn sweeper. The lawn tractor bogs down when it gets about half full, the little 90 can keep going until its nearly full! Makes for a quicker cleanup not having to keep stopping to empty it when you can do half the yard before emptying, you can see the big pile from one dump in the picture.

Still working on finishing up the cheap dump trailer i got as well. Will be great for cleanup, for both the 90 and the lawn tractor. Which brings up a question, anyone tried those spray cans of bedliner? They work as good as say Herculiner that you brush/roll on?

Thinking of using bedliner in the little dump trailer to prevent future rusting, i had a lot of cleanup and priming time to do when i got it. I have a friend that does spray in bedliner but he has been so busy he hasnt had time to get to small projects.

No feedback on the liner.....but I do the same thing when I sweep my lawn (just did it yesterday). I used to use the BR but now I use the KLT185. Both have reverse and make it easy to dump just where I want it. 185 is smaller and even easier to manuever in forward and reverse.

I sweep with my 200ES sometimes too, but the 90 being smaller works better in some of the tight spots of the yard and inside the fenced front yard. Either way, its more fun then doing it on a lawn tractor!! LOL

Now all you need to get is a 70, sorta like a dustbuster!

Oh man i know, i would love a 70... They are rarer than diamond and twice as valuable here. I saw a beat up one on Craigslist for $600 a week ago, first i have seen in a while. I can have my pick of 200's, 185's, and 110's grow on trees here. But the little 70's are tough to find.

That's pretty neat, kb. I could just imagine myself on a 70 (if I could even find one)... I would look like an elephant riding a flashlight!

I've done that before. I use my Fourtrax 300 to pull my bush hog.

Elephant riding a flashlight... Yep, i would probably look about the same... LOL!!!

I wish i had one of those trail mowers, i could make money all week long with that and my 200ES mowing down some empty lots and fields down here.

My mower or well anything without knobbies and solid rear axle can't get to where i dump my leaves so my ytm200 had been serving the purpose of pulling the yard trailer. Now i have a 4x4 pickup

My 85 110 doing some work, The one with the torch and spray tank is when we were burning ditches, gopher trapping, fencing, and then one is the water that we had to go in with the 110 to use it as a platform to pound in posts. haha

Not really relevant but I have noticed when using a normal rattle spray can with special things inside such as a thicker paint it tends to clog up the sprayer nozzle more. Someone told me to heat the can up a little. My girlfriend says heat makes paint thicken or clump or something, so I personally would go for roll on.

Thanks Worden, that 90 has been a labor of love getting back to this condition!

Fencing and gopher trapping, sounds like the same daily chores i did on trikes on the farm myself. At least it was semi fun getting to ride the trike!!

I think i will go with the rollon bedliner. The local hardware store has cans of the Herculiner for like $25, which isn't too bad and comparable in price to what i have found online. That and a small roller and pan and i can have it done in no time. Just have to get motivated and do it!
