I meant Agri Fab.


does that thing really work? I've been needing some
kind of tool for fall leaf pickup. for years I've mowed
them and let the mower bag them. with high lift blades
and slowing down to 2nd gear I get a clean pickup, but
the bags get full really quick.


Managed to buy one used..it works so well it's breathtaking. It picks
up pine needles like the rake never did. I can sweep a load of
needles, & drive it over near the hedges to be used for mulch, and
then pick up a load of leaves & dump it over by the compost pile...try
doing that with a rake. It does in 30 minutes what used to take me 2
days.

I only use it maybe 4 days out of the year...I have to assemble it
before I use it and disassemble it when I'm done (lack of garage
storage space)...and even with all that it still earns its keep.
