Ofcourse I never ment to imply that I had invented something here. I built my own for two reasons: (1)Total cost to build was $100

(2)Mine out performs the commercially available ones by a huge margin. Thanks for your comment.

wow..cool i want one....how much

[maxdecphoenix]

nice vac. i will be building one of similar design soon. my only observation would be to line the inside with fabric. i'd just use old cotton sheets or something. i have a much larger yard (2 acres) i'm trying to reclaim after years of neglect and i don't particularly care for thatch.

what is the name of the blower, or where can you get it at. I understand everything else, just can't seem to find the blower.

Nice job, it's great fun doing these kind of projects, But FYI, there are about 10 different companies that already offer this product & functionality. And actually already a produced and marketed attachment for deere.
