Leaf Vacuum

[crazyal]

I have an Agrifab leaf vac I pull behind the riding mower. While it doesn't mulch the leaves it packs them in tight into the trailer. I'm often surprised at how much work it is to get them out. It does dump but because it's so low to the ground there's not much dumping action. All dumping it seams to do is make it so I have to bend over to get the leaves out. The only time it plugs is when I get a stick that was buried in the leaves stuck either at the adapter for the mower deck or where the hose mounts to the blower. The hose was too short so I just bought some urethane hose on line. The vinyl hose never liked the occasional cold weather so urethane is a good upgrade.

I have a DR pull behind and use the vac with the hose most of the time. Yes, it will jam with sticks. Not hard to clear. And it does mulch the leaves, a lot. Enough that they are so small that they rot fast. I and my wife likes mine.
