Raking leaves

Our neighbor is an elderly widow, we try to rake her yard in the fall. Had to use the purple B!

Do you compost the leaves?? Mix a little lime in with them and they work well on the garden in the spring

I dumped mine in the garden...... Dumped the neighbor's by the road for the city to pick up, too many!

I wish I could get bunch of leaves but where I am to do so I would have to go out in the woods to rake them. Chopping them up also help them compost down

I still enjoy raking leaves and jumping in the pile! My wife tells me to grow up but it's fun.

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.

Never grow up no matter how old you are!

Nice ,
the goats will love those, thanks for the treat ,they will love them.

I want an small side delivery rake and a Massey Baler to pack them tight some day when I get to old to vacuum them up to take to farm goats s .
Wet them with sprayer and pack bales tight. ,can heat your house from compost bales .

I use a hard plastic, over the rail bedliner to transport yard debris.
I can rake leaves and grass clippings directly into it.
Pile pine needs four feet high.

Even with four feet of pine needs, when I get to my dump site I just lift it from the side to dump the whole load.

Works great to haul stuff too heavy to lift into a trailer too. Just roll or slide it in and drag it away.

Push no marks in the lawn from tires.
