Default Lawn vac motor tune-up

Jim Ledford said:


tried the process out this morning and it worked so well I
thought I'd share.

vacuumed leaves off the lawn this morning with the riding
lawn mower baggier attachment. the blades on the rider do
a slight shred on the leaves with not a whole lot of reduction
in volume though they do a fine job of capturing and placing
them in the bag. then using the Stihl BG85D vacuum shredder
attachment the leaves were vacuumed from the mower bag and
shredded again reducing them by at least a 14x ratio. the
result was a finely ground product that ended up being spread
over the garden and then cut into the ground.

if you've got the equipment, you've got to give this a try.


Be careful. It's just like when you get your first powerwasher. EVERYTHING
gets power-washed. Then you look around, and there's nothing left to blast.
*That's* when the severe depression sets in. Wait 'till you start blowing
the leaves out of trees, 'cause you don't want to wait for them to fall,
just so you can vacuum them up. =P

Glad it works for ya, man.

Photons have mass? I didn't even know they were Catholic.
