In Reply to: Raking leaves posted by grandpa Love on December 04, 2021 at 14:52:36:

Our house is on 3 acres on the east side of the road. We have many trees that shed leaves in the fall, but I also get a lot of leaves blowing from neighbor's woods.
In years past, my granddaughters would help me. They pulled the Agri-fab lawn sweep behind the golf cart, and we shoveled leaves into my 6 by 8 utility trailer that has 20 sides. We then hauled them to the township compost site.
5 years ago, I bought an Agri-fab lawn vacuum. Youngest Granddaughter (older one is college grad now) still pulled the lawn sweep but would just dump them whenever it was full and then we pulled the vacuum around and I walked with the hose to suck up the piles.
When vac was full, I could back it up to the top of a 30 landscape retaining wall and dump them into the trailer sitting down below.
Now, no more helpers available. Youngest granddaughter is in college and working at Cabela's. Last year, I bought a Gravely zero turn to mow with instead of the Jubilee and 6' Woods.
I now pull the vac with the Gravely and catch the mulched leaves exiting the mower. I keep the deck at 4 to minimize grass clippings. I dump all in one area and use my sons Jubillee/loader to scoop them into the trailer.
I may have to either get another loader tractor or build a ramp to get the Agri-fab vac high enough to dump into the trailer.
We haul about 200 bushels of mulched leaves to the township.
To be continued next year.

Today's Featured Article - Talk of the Town: The Saga of Grandpa's Tractor - by The following saga is from the Tractor Talk Discussion Forum. Someone. The saga starts with the following message: Hey guys I have a decision to make. I know what you all will probably suggest and it will probably agree with me way down inside, but here it is. I have a picture blown up and framed in my "tractor room" of a Farmall M. It was my Grandpa's tractor, of which whom I never got to meet. He froze to death getting this tractor out of the barn to pull a truck out of the ditch before I was born. Anyway my dad and aunt had to sell it at the auction, ... [Read Article]
