So I've been using a custom mower rack on my hitch for the last few weeks and really like it. I have a folding ramp that comes down off the right and if I park well, lands on the curb for a very shallow incline. It makes loading and unloading my mower super easy and fast. With this setup, I have no desire for a truck or trailer for my mowing jobs. I still may eventually get a trailer, but not sure it's needed if I just bag yard debris and leave at the curb for city pick up. The trailer would be useful if I do landscaping, but I don't want to rely on it every day.
A hatchback car is all that is needed for the rest of my tools. I would consider a Volt, but they still seem quite a bit more expensive than a 2nd gen Prius. Same with a Leaf, which I am more Interested in than I was before. A new one can be bought for 11,500 with this group buy deal and fed rebate. If only I was in the market for a vehicle in that price range....
Still I'm hoping to find a Prius with minor rear damage at the auction site. Would have to apply for a rebuilt title.
My rear rack setup is faster than any other pro setup. Fast no hassle parking, unload in 15 seconds. Highest mps.
