ignor it. Seems pretty fast.

Last year i left my 3 maple trees and 2 other leafy trees go all fall and winter. by the time I got to it the wind had blown about 90% into all my neighbors yards and my whole leaf pile was up against a fence and it took about 10 mins to clean up.

I let all the leaves fall then I aerate and over seed with rye for the winter. Then in four weeks I cut and mulch everything.
In the spring when the Bermuda starts to green up the rye dies off.

last year i used an old Craftsman leaf blower with all of the baffles removed, it shreds everything in its path into little pieces, don't get in front of the shoot or you will be sorry, it will leave a nasty welt on you from the acorns or gum balls. :laughing::laughing: i now have a Billy Goat by Parker i will try out as well.

my father in law uses his MTD rider mower in 6 speed and muches the leaves up in little pieces starting from one end of his yard and going to the other. he destroys his blades, deck, belts etc but does not care, he has me to fix it.:eek::eek:

This is an interesting way to reduce fall clean-up time! But it is $80!

Today I had a big leaf clean-up job. First I used the blower on the backyard (which was the worst part). I blew the leaves into a big line (see the DURING section of the following picture), and then I raked the leaves on to tarps and put them in the street. Then I used the mower to vacuum up the rest of the leaves from the backyard, and then the rest of the yard. Attached is a picture of the BEFORE, DURING, and AFTER of the backyard. Also, these are the leaf piles that I put in the street....3 HUGE ones!! They spanned the whole length of the property (minus the driveway and drain).

The 3 bagger Craftsman Intek 24 will vacuum under suitable conditions. Leaves that are half dry will vacuum up with a "partial bite" of just the outer blade (closest to the up-duct). Dry thick leaves can be removed with full (3 blade) passes going SLOW. Also totally freeze dried leaves vacuum up as well or better than dry. Patience is required due to rapid fill up and some plug -ups. Best feature on this rig as it doesn't overheat due to light work and cool ambient. :smile:
