This is depressing, we are already talking about leaves. GROSS. Don't even mention the 4 letter S word yet.

Like it or not, it will be here soon enough. I saw a Cotton Picker on CL this week, you don't see them advertised in the dead of winter--just saying......

Used to use a tow behind vacuum but with 5 acres it fills too quickly. This set up is what I use now and it's really awesome.

I use my fan assisted bagger most of the time in the fall and it works awesome.

I hate leaf season. rake and rake and rake, have had a few sweepers, have tried bagging, did have a trac vac for a while, mower I had it with just kinda plowed the leaves instead of going over them.. 0nce it did finally decide to go over the pile it plowed itself into the deck would clog....
rake em into the ditch then go get some gas and a match, and watch. |

I usually take the burning approach for larger piles but if you can work just alittle at a time I have been known to blow them into the nieghbors yard

I use a TracVac. Many trees(160+) on 4.5 acres. I only pick up when the leaves are dry. Many long days of effort as if the leaves are permitted to accumulate too deep, then I'm plowing, unclogging the mower deck and hose. The leaves are abrasive cleaning the underside of the deck.

Thanks guys. I ended up picking up this vac over the weekend. Starts right up, but has a slight miss at full throttle. Runs fine at full throttle if the chock is about 3/4 on. The guy said the gas is probably a few years old. So I ran it out and filled it up with some 91 octane and sea foam. Also replaced the spark plug and dropped the carb bowl and cleaned it and the main yet (there was all kinds of crap in the bowl). I'm going to run it for a little bit and see if it clears out. If not I'll probably take the whole carb off and redo it (motor is a Briggs intek 900.
I also need to figure out how to take the plastic grass flap off the mower deck so I can figure out how to mount the boot for the vac. |

Be sure to pick up the sticks or avoid them as anything larger than the diameter of your thumb will jam in the hose and cause a clog. I hate shutting everything down to remove the flex hose, shake it, reach in to pull out leaves, sticks, then reassemble to start sucking leaves again. But, without the TracVac, the leaves would be impossible for me.

Thanks for the heads up. I was surprised that the hose is smooth on the inside. That will probably help it from clogging up some. I'm ready to figure out how to mount the boot and give it a try.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
