Now I’m going to drive down road and let the wind take care of the trailer full of leaves😂😂😂😂

@kennethricher45 Год назад

You would defined get done 3 times as fast if run over and mulch your leaf pile. I have this same setup on a toro 5000 series zmaster zero turn. I can fit twice as much inside the container and destroy huge piles of leaves just by making a few passes with mulch blades first then turning on the vac.

@j.w.3345 24 дня назад

That looks like a 6" hose. I swapped mine to a 8" hose and it made a big difference! Honestly, I use my garden tractor to mulch most of the leaves, but the vac is great for getting close to the stone walls.

@wheelie642 Год назад

It’s so much better to mulch the leaves before vacuuming. They won’t clog the chute.

@GoodmanLawnCare Год назад

We have a new attachment that goes on the mower and I will have an update video soon!

@cheezedoodle8356 2 месяца назад

Just picked up a 2017 in great condition on marketplace for 500. I found just placing the hose on the ground and raking the pile towards it is the quickest for me and least chance of clogs. It loosens up the pile before the suction and you dont have to worry about the length of your hose not reaching far enough. Also easier on the back holding the lighter weight rake. Grab yourself some of the green 60gal Landscape Barrels to dump your leaves right into and a little cover for the barrel so you can keep your leave situation much cleaner and ready to dump. If you pull the agri fab all the way to the front of your trailer and put the barrel on the ground between your truck and trailer you can rake the leaves out into the barrel sitting below easily.

The Agrifab comes with an adapter that attaches to your mower deck and attaches a larger diameter hose that takes the mulched up leaves from the mower deck and allows the Agrifab to suck them up into the grinder and get blown into the trailer. The larger hose hardly ever plugs up unless the trailer gets overfilled or the leaves are wet. I think you would get done faster and easier if you used a lawnmower setup and drove over the leaves instead of the hand held hose. I have the hand held hose attachment and only use it near buildings, trees, window wells, etc.

@perrinayebarra 2 года назад

Take a few minutes to chew them up with the mower first and they’ll suck up better.

@roysoliz3610 5 месяцев назад

I can image what it was like when he left. If he left those leafs on the trailer like that i bet most flew off the trailer on his way home. 😂

@robertf7982 Год назад

i had bought one from sears craftsman 16 years ago my came with two hoses the one you got which is about 4-6 inch and the other one is 8-10 inch hose which is what i use and then rake the leaf's into it and im still using it. get a big hose and yes it came with a bigger manifold attachment. its acttaly the hose to the lawn morrow that i use

@aprilgeneric8027 Год назад

keep an eye on the axel and the wheel bushings. even replacing them with bearings every yeaqr doesn't help when you're doing 25-50 acre properties the wheels fall off and the axels bust.

@chuckgilbert2035 Год назад

I use a 6" hose. The wand is 5" . I may expand the metal end to keep the clogging from happening.

@robertslawnservices4317 8 месяцев назад

Instead of buying the hose accessory. If you just buy a 20 foot 6 inch diameter hose. It works out way better. Just use the hose. That come with the Mower deck.

@goaheadmakeourdayscooterpe9644 2 года назад

Mine works really well with hardly ever a clog unless I run over bigger sticks,but I pull mine behind a JD rider mower with gator blades that dice them up first pretty good and you won't have to empty trailer near as often either. Factory hose is junk, just need to upgrade to hd hose, my deck adapter had a big dead air space in the front which would build up with leaves and break loose and clog but i filled it in with blocks of wood bolted in to smooth air flow and no more clogs ever even when wet.

@GoodmanLawnCare 2 года назад

Awesome! Thanks for the comment!! Very informative!!

@sandytyrel4104 9 месяцев назад

Hello great video but i have a question how to do you keep grass from building up in the Chute

@zachdavis2641 Год назад

It’s definitely suppose to suck up shredded leaves that’s already process by a mower. You need a debris loader for this instance here. Curious to see it operate off a commercial mower. I bought a unit that’s used but minimal hours off of fb marketplace for $380. Intake valve was stuck open. Easy fix. Oil still looked new. I’m going to somehow rig to my pro stance or Worldlawn venom. I mainly purchased for my 2 acre wooded lot. Wont use it too much for my biz.

@GoodmanLawnCare Год назад

Wow you got a great deal on that unit for sure! I have the piece that connects to my zero turn now and I plan to install it soon and test it. I will film it all and upload it! Awesome comment and thanks for watching!

@caseyhardison4320 Год назад

I have been plagued with nothing but problems with my Agri-Fab Chip-n-Vac since the day I ordered it. Personal use on my 2.5acre property. -7 weeks to get it delivered -multiple poor fitment areas, chute to the box, etc -1st engine failure happened at 4 hours (under warranty), 2nd engine failed at 13 hours (outside warranty) -dump latch metal split, had to add a piece of angle iron with my Welder I've contacted the manufacturer several times to no avail. As a side note, my model doesn't have the safety start preventer yours has, which perhaps is a new feature. Thanks for the video, it definitely has kinks that need to be addressed.

@jeffmiller8762 Год назад

I have the same leaf vac system, it does not have chipping ability, it only vacs the leaves. Agrifab had a different model that was a chipper/shredder. Wish I had it..

@lucychillery-watson7861 11 месяцев назад

Great power blower for leaves and cottonwood

@newdefsys Год назад

Ive got this very problem at my new (to me) townhome. It was built in the 1960s and it looks like it went unoccupied for 3 or 4 years. The lawn is covered with layers (seasons) of leaves and sticks that are clumped into a mass. Its like trying to peel the peanut butter off of the bread after its been spread on with a knife.

@stevegann3251 9 месяцев назад

@jasonharris6397 Год назад

What if you mulch them up first with a mower and then used the vac?

@apotwin 8 месяцев назад

Do you still have this unit and do you still like it? I just ordered one.

@kr5289 Год назад

you need it hooked to a mower I have one just like that and I could run across those leaves in no time, and it mulches them, and you get lot more in your trailer. I bought a tractor type cub to keep hooked up all time. didn't want to use my ZTR

@GoodmanLawnCare Год назад

I ordered the connection piece for the mower and hope to try it out soon! Thanks !!

@frios011 7 месяцев назад

Do you have any idea the size of the engine needed to be able to successfully suck up anything through a hose larger than 5” diameter? You are talking about a very large, powerful and expensive unit!

@jondeer5239 Год назад

Why did the guy with the backpack keep blowing leaves under the trailer?

@black12212 Год назад

Lol

@kennethricher45 Год назад

Because he’s special and they get a tax credit to keep him employed. Hahahaha

@driftracing08 Год назад

I used these machines all my life and I know when you pull in on the mower you can bring it to the leaves instead of bringing the leaves to it and the ones with the bigger impellers suck up the leaves faster

@GoodmanLawnCare Год назад

We ordered the connection price for the zero turn and hope to try it out soon! Thank you!

@Sreka2144 10 месяцев назад

i bought this model a few years ago used it once and it sat in a shed for 2 years and a mouse chewed through the white cord coming off of the impeller. i for the life of me cant find the other end or where it goes if i was to buy a new adaptor. Google youtube and facebook groups have been 0 help . Anyway you or anyone reading this be able to show me at least a general area where its going to or point me to somewhere other then the parts diagrams that show nothing. I would appreciate it so much

@indoorracing7128 Год назад

Hose looks more like a 6” I have a 8” and looks much fatter then that

@patriciareynolds2729 8 месяцев назад

they are cheapos, mine plugs up andits hooked to mower. may try raising deck to leave sticks dust is very bad where grass is thin.

@lisagolish4163 2 года назад

Does a zero turn pull the leaf collector ok?

@GoodmanLawnCare 2 года назад

It will pull it but my mowers don’t have a hitch on them to pull it yet. And on this particular job it was a little bit easier to leave it on the trailer and just bring the leaves up to it. Thanks for the comment!

@benpracht2655 Год назад

I have acorns, will it pick those up too?

@GoodmanLawnCare Год назад

It should be able to pick them up I suck ip pine cones and small sticks with it so it should be fine for acorns!

@mw3designs Год назад

I have the same leaf vac, and the trailer packs so full of leaves it’s a pain to dump it. You have to shovel/rake them out, and tilting it does nothing. Anyone come up with a hack to get the leaves out easy?

@GoodmanLawnCare Год назад

I haven’t found any better ways to do it yet!

@lisagolish4163 2 года назад

Why not mow them and pull it?

@GoodmanLawnCare 2 года назад

Great question! I would have pulled it behind the mower but I do not have a hitch on my mowers yet. And I don’t have the adapters for the deck hose yet. Thanks for the comment!

@josephshaffer6521 2 года назад

It’s been my experience mowing the leaves with the leaf vac will help illuminate some clogging. The DR leaf vac has an 8 inc hose will work a lot better however it has other issues. I had one, company was kind enough to take it back. I could not overcome those issues.

@GoodmanLawnCare 2 года назад

Thanks for watching ! Awesome comment!

@dh4094 Год назад

What issues?

@josephshaffer6521 Год назад

@@dh4094 plenty, in my opinion are engineering problems. I see on Utube lots of folks make adjustments here and there to improve the vac. I am referring to a major problem and I don’t see anyone pointing this out.

@michaelknowsstocks5170 Год назад

what do you charge for a job like that

@GoodmanLawnCare Год назад

Awesome question. I think that job was about a $300 job. It was probably a little under priced but you live and learn!

@NeilLB7 Год назад

I don't believe the chipper side of the flywheel does anything on the leaf suction side. The chipper for sticks is the back of the flywheel. The leaf side is just air paddles that create the vacuum. It's really designed to vacuum up things that have been mowed up. The vacuum is for a few leaves here or there...not huge piles like you're doing. My opinion. I have the chip n vac 8HP model.

@GoodmanLawnCare Год назад

Thank you! We actually ordered the connection piece for the zero turn and hope to try out out soon and see how it works !

@brentphillips262 Год назад

I have one. Stupid design. Engineer that designed it should be fired. Only good thing about is how easy it is to start. Blows way too much dust out the back when hooked to my zero turn. Clouds the whole neighborhood. You could have bagged those in half the time with 3 of ya. Have you found a solution for the epic dust cloud they put out ?

@GoodmanLawnCare Год назад

Yes sir I would have to agree with you on that one! And we definitely didn’t do this job the most efficient way possible! And as for the solution to the dust cloud… I haven’t had any luck 🤣 it definitely produces a lot of dust! Thanks for watching and commenting!!
