You are right, I've thought about this. I did just buy a wood chipper to reduce volume of branches and will build a leaf shredder. That's sort of where a trailer would come in handy. I know I'm limited to about 1500lbs if towing with a Prius. So I would give up the ability to most stone landscaping, sod, or other heavy work.

My business model does give up some things though. I just can't see driving a full size truck and trailer, getting 10mpg every day.
