DIY Leaf Collector with Tarp 

The smartest solution I have seen so far concerning this problem. And the least expensive. Well done!

I am so impressed! If my lawn sweeper breaks, I will copy your idea!

Ingenuity at its finest. Material wise, about as cheap as it gets. Function wise, looks like it does a pretty good job. What else could you want... Thumbs Up!

Very Well Done Sir. Great Property, Great Tractor, Great Idea. Mulching leaves first allows them to be compacted so much better.

Fun fact: if you put another tarp underneath this tarp the ground will eat the other tarp up and keep this tarp more tarpy. Tarp.

Excellent use of 'materials at hand. Good one. Jim

Fantastic simple concept !

Thanks for sharing! Looks good!

Love the ingenuity. I have a 3 bag bagger on my tractor and 1.5 acres and that works very well for me though. Two bags would fill up too fast and be frustrating but 3 is effective.

I've been trying to figure out something like this ! Thanks !

Beauty! Well done!

Lawn sweeper works pretty good too.

Good idea and easy instuction!

Great idea! You are a genius...

Pretty amazing job !! When u get after market bag system it’s a game changer !! I made a bag out of burlap for my push mower it is at least 3-5 times the size of factory.

I like it!

Thanks for the video. Nice and simple idea that works.Is the exhaust pipe just a short flex drain/pvc held in place by the clamp? Is it somewhere screened? If not wouldn't the clippings go straight out the exhaust?

Smooth

A very clever concept, however, it didn't work for me.........the tube kept getting clogged even with minor leaf debris and I have a 28 HP Kohler engine.

Works well till the tarp wears out on the bottom, my 3 acres is ruff in places that why it probably ripped on me worked well for on just the grass

THIS , IS WHAT OUR PIONEER FORE bearers, D I D. GOOD CREATIVE, thinking and DOING, Daisy-Mae; greetings from east central Alberta. i am of the same, creative mindset. Good for you, not buying expensive, plastic battery operated junk. DIY'ers.....unite for the clean clear former planet earth... ! You never spent more than, probably 60 bucks, i would guess-timate.

What's the mower piece called?

Great job!
