Default Plowed the leaves today

We don't get much snow, but I have plenty of leaves. A couple of 2X boards and a piece of aluminum flashing material laid over the blade to give it some extra volume. Cost - 30 minutes and zero dollars. Result - priceless!

Looks like a mini version of a Cat D-11 with a coal blade.

Don't waste them! mulch them with gaters on your deck, makes wonderful soil enrichment!

Sam Mac -- that moving coal looks like one of the dirtiest jobs I can imagine.

George -- I pile them up in the woods behind the house. Keeps most of the undergrowth down and turns into rich compost in about a year. Then I dig it out and replace with new leaves. I have a really productive little garden doing this.

Be careful don't let them get up in your grill. My brother-in-law was clearing some paths the same way for deer hunting. Got up in the grill and caught fire. Could have been real ugly and ended our deer hunting season.

I watched a video of someone using a cub with a snow thrower on it moving leaves and said, I'm going to try that, so I did. and it works, blows leaves just like snow.

Not to derail this thread..... but snowblowers will also blow grain. So, for you farm boys that but up in grain sheds, or in piles outside just remember that. LOL.

Leaf plow. Is there a market for that?

Could be?

But what I need and I mean really NEED! Is an 3 point, pooper scooper!

My 4 legged pup is a beloved member of the family, but at 138lbs, he poops like a full grown man. All over the yard!

Gets in the treads on those turf tires and dries up like poop cement!

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.
