Frank,
Can you share some of the details of the vacuum trailer you constructed, it
souls like a jewel. I'd sure like to build something like that. How about
posting an e photo? What size and brand mower do you use, does it have
mulching features?
Thanks again,
Scott

I have a vacuum trailer I tow behind my garden tractor/mower. It does a
fantastic job. I built it myself. It holds 44 bushels and just needs to be
emptied once when mowing my 1 acre. The hose connects to the mower deck.
If
the leaves are dry, it will chew them up into pieces smaller than 1 inch
square.

My east Tennessee yard is 1 1/2 acres with too many oak trees. Nice in
the
summer but hell in the fall due to all the leaves.
I have tried mowing them up but oak leaves don't fragment / mow up all
that
well. I've worked myself to near exhaustion raking, blowing and
loading
onto tarps and hauling to the back of the property.

So my question is what is the best way or best equipment to use to take
care
of lots of leaves?

I try to cut 1 or 2 oaks a year but the problem is severe.

Thanks!
