Assemble and use a Agri-Fab 44" Lawn Sweeper with a Honda Rancher ATV to deal with the leaves falling off the trees. Theres some video near the end of sweep passes, and then some video after that of dumping a few times.
It does a decent job, but its not perfect. I'll still have to do leaf raking days to get the yard clean. But this will probably take that down to once a month instead of having to do it almost weekly. This gets the worst of the worst up so that you can have your weekend back instead of having to rake leaves all weekend.
The bag fills up FAST, and will jam the broom/wheels until it gets dumped. It would be nice if the broom was super heavy duty, but it seems a bit delicate for what it needs to do. Theres complaints in reviews about the gears in the wheels stripping out.
I'll still need a plan to dispose of the leaves. This time I dumped in the woods and will mulch them with the mower, but a better idea is probably a burn cage. That will make the job take longer though. Interested in what others do with their leaves.
Lots of the reviews complain about assembly. Its not terrible. Fasten the bag arms to the unit, and assemble the bag frame.
The front edge is pretty banged up already. It would be easy to bend enough that it would destroy the unit if you hit a stump or something. Storage is going to be a pain. Need to come up with more efficient dedicated storage.
