Nice vac...from where did you source the blower?

[tjboop]

@sierrahotelmike - The power vac is from Deere and is recommended on decks 48" and up.

Id mulch that few leaves

[tjboop]

@jdiep78 - that's just a very small section of the yard. i need to empty the container 3 times by the time i finish.

[tjboop]

It's about 18sq ft. I have the z425 w/ 48 inch deck. Power bagged is essential, especially with the chute extension.

[waddupboston]

What model and deck size is that? i have the eztrak 225 with a 42inch deck and the power bagger isn't available for it. Thanks

How many cubic feet do you think your compartment is?

[tjboop]

Got the tubing at the local hardware store.

Pretty cool!!! Where did you purchase the 10" flexible tubing?

[tjboop]

yea, just heavy-duty screening.

what is on the cart like screan or what?

[MrFastrev]

awesome I built one kinda like this but I dont have a blower to help shoot the leaves up into cart

[tjboop]

10" aluminum flexible tubing wrapped in duct tape so it won't rip. the cart dumps and the rear door is hinged at the top, so it opens like a dump truck.

[phonebluejob]

What type of flex conduit did you use?

How do you empty that?

[thechaseih]

nice

[MrJohnjake]
