Hi guys, I saved all summer and went all in for a leaf loader and a walk-behind blower. I see instant production with the walk-behind blower over backpack's (money well spent). Now the leaf loader (18hp Little Wonder) I have mixed feelings over tarps. I guess time will tell with the loader as I get to some of my customers I have done before. I really thought I could do the you rake em' I take em' and be gone in 20 minutes but as I get to using the loader it is taking more time then I intended....Any tips or tricks on making leaf rows so I can just drive along instead of piling it all in one spot and trying to break though monter piles. Seen some people put up snow fencing but I see that putting another 30 mins dinking around. Thanks for any advice. :usflag:
Thanks Corey, I actually spent a couple hours tonite and ditched the tarp, boxed it off and put chicken wire vents on top. Thanks Orangemower, I started out with a push mower 3 years ago and paid cash for all my equipment, next year when I get a lazer it will definitely be time to upgrade. In the meantime I am very proud to be this far along.
Thanks for the support P.Services. I am going out to Boathouse Lake to do a cleanup in the morning, I would be more then happy to get you on the list next year.
try the old pallet standing up with a little chain on it. Load the leaves and then when your ready to unload back up to a tree and wrap the chain around it and drive forward to pull out the pallet and all the leaves.
I actually started out in the Fenton area 15 years ago mowing for Mansour Developments, Georgetown Park and Sub off Torrey & Lahring. Then went on to Good ol' Grandscapes and White Pine, got bored with the work and became a mason for 5 years, then the bottom fell out in fenton. Moved up here to get out of the rat race, obviously no work up here so I had to create my own.
I would love a dump insert one day, my 1/2 ton is maxed out. All in due time. Thanks newguy, all these guys had to start out somewhere to. I see so many brand new rigs sitting idle, I have no clue how they are making it.
How are these guys making nice rows of leaves, I have a cemetery I maintain for the township. I want to be able to blow everything to the road in the middle in a nice row and drive along and suck it up turn around and do the other half the same way. Trying to get away with as minimal raking as possible.
This 10hp Billy goat throws them 20ft.....almost impossible to control, that's where a leaf plow would be nice to help move the bulk to the truck I guess. Thanks guys, I appreciate any positive input.

There should be a lever on that billy goat called a throttle! Lol! Just messin with you. When I get leaves to area I want them, I back the throttle down to get the pile tighter. If these rows you speak of are nice clean rows, I'm sure there was raking involved. Posted via Mobile Device
