Do you have a leaf loader? It looks like a hose under the dump bed in the first pic.

Also, how did you post so many pics in one post. Guess it's the size of the pics? I can only post 5 per post.

Best tool for cleanups, Walker. Also like how the top of the leaf box is angled in the front. You have nice equipment and truck.

What did the Walker cost if you don't mind me asking?

Walkers may not be real fast, but they sure leave a nice cut.:)
Looks like a good set-up.

Thanx for the replies, the leaf loader is located on a swing away mount on the back of the truck, it has a receiver tube welded about a foot above the pintle/ball hitch

It looks like the loader is hanging on the back of the tailgate with the "suction" hose stored under the dump body.. Very smart way to keep everything organized..

also note that I had to relocate the trailer jack further back on the tongue to get this to work, I went with a bulldog one that folds upwards. Also, to make this work efficiently without having to remove the trailer all the time you need to have the extended tongue to be able to hook the hose up and have room to work

Micah, The walker cost $12,300 with RI sales tax

Your really looking good! That is a very nice dump! I too also like how the box is angled, it makes it look nice rather than just a big wooden box

Who makes your swing away hitch? I used an extended receiver tube so I could pull my trailer and still mount my loader on a dual receiver mount.

Why does the wheelbase on the dump look so far apart, or is it just me?

I believe the swing away kit is made by Salsco, the company that makes Lesco leaf loaders. The wheelbase on the truck is longer, you are correct, it has a longer dump body on it, 10ft not 8ft. im not sure the wheelbase, but its factory.
I angled the top of the box to try to make the truck more aerodynamic going down the road, hopefully saving some fuel, it works.
Thanx for the replies

Getting back to you from your post on my thread. Yes this weather sucks. I really wish I had all my cleanups done before the snow and cold wether was here. I'm leaving a lot of money on the table for the cleanups. Hopefully we'll still get a break.
