:54 the impeller is custom built. I'd love to see it!

I used to run my mower and chop them up... then leave as mulch over the winter... I like his idea of collection and composting. Very nice.

Seeing all theses leafs getting sucked up leaving a nice green lawn gives me a strange satisfaction

I own a lot of leaf removal equipment. There are two ways to do this, build it your self or pay for commercial grade equipment. You did a great job. Congrats!

probably the most efficient systems I've seen on KZfaq...

Depends on your perspective. The trees want the leaves on the ground to help suppress undergrowth. But some of us like grass under the trees.

Damn I'm just now getting this after 8 years, I could've had one built by now.

You did a great job with that set up!!! I'm doing the same with my scag mower, I got the blower for it and the trailer and leaf box. I just have to bye 6 feet of cyclone hose then I'm off to the races!!! Thanks!!!

Yes. It collects clippings as well.

Thanks for sharing this video with us. I think it's the best one I've seen home made.

This look great and fun to work with, I'm sure many will love to own one. For my suggestion is that, Vacuum Bag. Like those use in home vacuum, reusable or replaceable.

Watching this on a rainy day makes me want the summer back

I did this a lot today with my agri-fab sweeper. It's not nearly as industrial as this, but also works well.

Shades of my youth. We bought our blower and mower deck adapter, but everything else was adaptation using ply and 1/4 inch screen. The back door on the plywood box was just two pieces of angle iron set off the back of the box half an inch so the door would slide in and make a tight fit. Leaves looked the same - pull the door off and they were packed tight and you had to fork them out. The leaves come out so packed tight and heavy that they don't blow anywhere when the wind blows.

Now, this is what I'm talking about. I've watched numerous videos of people shredding a couple handful of leaves. Give me a break! I have 18 enormous trees on a 1/3 acre lot! I need a leaf collection and shredder like this with some balls! Nice video!

i like the simplicity of your trailer the whole rig loos thrifty. GREAT

Amazing how effective it is. You need to patent this thing and sell it as an attachment to any standard riding lawn mowers.

If theres a better leave vacuum video on you tube i have,nt seen it..went until the rain come to wet your leaves and then throw coffie grounds over them you will have the best of compost in a year. ty for a great video...frank in ireland here.

Extremely effective! Nice design.

Badass man, awesome build, great video! I will be making one of these!

It also compresses the leaves. Love it.

Omg! I want your leaves for compost, great invention by the way.

Simple idea, very well executed. Well done indeed.

This is amazing and awesome blower !!! Thanks for this video !!!

Thank you for not putting stupid music over your video, awesome build and video.

Wow man you beasted that lawn, nice innovation

Insanely cool and fun to watch!

Did you notice the URL at the end of the video?

This is awesome, nicely done. Looks like it works very well.

This was really great. I can see you doing a channel of other people's home built machines!

Works better than the $1,500 one! Well done.

It's the best way to pick up leaves!

My two year old son's new favorite video. "Mama, can I watch the machine?" The Village Garage by Brian Karas has an elephant truck. We had never heard of that before and so we found your video to show to my son to help him understand. "It's really cool and I can't believe it happened. It sounded really loud like a motorcycle." (Eva, age 5)

Good video from the start of the year

You know what would make this even better...Turbo... !!

Great build. I will be doing the same shortly.

Amazing!! Congratulations!

The trailer impeller can be simple paddle type less efficient than a carefully made centrifugal but easy to repair as it wears or gets hit by stones or larger bits of wood/sticks.

Nov 2019 still amazing

that's the darndest thing...my dad would love it!

One of the best ones I've seen yet ! I still like mine better but this one is GREAT ! Damned good job ! If you could make the trailer higher you could add a dump feature to it ! At any rate, beats the HELL out of raking don't it ! Nice job !

I believe this embodies the phrase "Work smarter, not harder!".

Could you show us the custom made impeller? I'd like to make one like it. This looks great. Especially how the vacuum helps offload the trailer.

ah ha ha ha, sitting here randomly clicking videos about making a leaf vacuum attachment for my mower and didn't realize where I landed. I should have known you would approach this already. thank you.

Zelo inovativno. Bravo!

just amazing, 2 quick questions.... 1) do the blades of the lawnmower run when you suck the leaves?? 2) how can you find the time to think about, create , build all these wonderful tools. I would love to be leaving close to you to learn. Congrats Pat

Not exactly elegant but apparently does a damn fine job, especially considering the length of the hose and the amount of power on that vac set up. And I like how you elongated the cart; that is the drawback in most of the OEM designs, they have to top-feed a short load bed and with the limited throw space they stack up very fast inside. Looked like it was really functioning at the peak of the configuration. Wild stroke, neighbor...well done...

Look, he's helping the environment...

Wow. Now this is a great idea!!!

Smart man!! Great invention

That thing is cool as hell. Bet it works great for regular grass as well, keeping the clippings off the lawn. Kinda like a bagging lawnmower on steroids.

I love this so much that I also built one....I already had the yard cart and spend 42 bucks on lumber and made the carts walls and back...I happened to have a friend with a used wood chipper that needed an engine....I took it a part and removed the cutters. The shafts were different but I had bushings....I mounted the motor , but had to put the motor on the other side of the chipper housing as the motor tuned in the wrong direction...Some reverse wood engineering solved the problem.....It works great and I'm waiting on finding some hose....But for right now I just rake the leaves to the cart.....

Hell of a great job!!!!

Genius! I love it!

Semplice ed intelligente!bravo!!!

That is very cool. Wish you lived near me. I haves tons of Oak Tree Leaves all over my Lawn.

this is practical and genius!

love to see the custom impeller.

Extremely satisfying

I look foreward to going to the cinema to watch "Leaf Vacum", because I like the trailer.

Those ground up leaves make great compost.

Love this video, thanks!!

i like this and its simple , great job and ty for sharing ! :) , gonna build same thing now

Wow, it works perfectly!

Nice work, I would make something as well if I had that many leaves

Cool! You really cruise along at a good clip too.

Interesting, nice build

When the blades on that lawn tractor and the vacuum trailer are on, it sounds like the lawn tractor at my cabin when the blades are on.

looks really awesome

thans mike! this got me goin to make me one !

Great (Impressive!!) job! Thanks, Jim in Ohio

CLEANING THE YARD! - Like A Boss

Man that looks like fun.

Awesome work

That works better then i tought it was going to.

helo guys,,you are the greatest im gona build one very sooon,thaks for the idea keep the good work

Leaf it out, that's just brilliant

Wow, very nice!!!

wow that's great! Thanks for share.

When I seen the title saying "trailer" I thought you were making a movie about a leaf vacuum, LOL.

Dam nice set up.

Nice Job! I was going to say that too bad the blower couldn't mulch as well, but from looking at the finished pile I guess you wouldn't need it

A boat propeller of the right size would be rediculously heavy, never mind expensive (even at scrap metal prices). If you don't want to make an impeller, this project is not for you.

FANTASTIC

@wvb93 it's that, but not entirely. grass tips are actually very resistant to damage, it's more the roots that are the weak part. as the leaves break into smaller peices they start to form matted up sheets that suffocate the grass roots of air and water. (even grass roots need oxygen). it's why "paths" form in grass after being walked on excessively. the loose top soil becomes so compacted that voids holding oxygen and water are collapsed and starve the root.

I didn't know john lennon was still alive.

Pure genius !

Wow that's awesome 😊

Thats fantastic!

im curious on the impeller, id love to be able to build a version of this but building a impeller for that motor is so beyond me

this is the best idea i have ever seen. is lawn mower working like if you mow?

Nice, comes in handy with that big yard. I would use a dust mask.

Click the link in the description

Guess it's cheaper than buying the one they show on TV. LoL 😂 I can sure use one

Love it bloody love it.

I sure could use this!

Dear Santa! I want you to steal this for me! Yours sincerely, Rasmus.

Sweet Jesus, this thing is awesome !

@chubeviewer YES, It blends!

Nice job
