I'm a little late to the party, but nice build! Not sure if anyone has mentioned this yet, but you could reduce the chance of clogging if you used high-lift blades for the mower deck. They are specifically designed to move grass and such into the bagging systems you can buy. It basically creates a stronger vacuum under the blades, and stronger push above them. Love the videos, keep them coming!

You've got the tools, the knowledge, but most important the skills! Respect 🇳🇱

Nice work, you may not have had as much clogging if you had the crimped ends of the piping facing away from the mower

Audience, Mr CAD and laser design. Good job on the project. I had a 13 hp Craftman II mover since 1996. It was a little beast for gathering leaves up in the winter. I just recently sold it to a co-worker. She wasn't the prettiest mower, but was a hell of a worker. I purchased a commercial zero turn snapper from a small engine store in Nashville. It was closing the doors, and it cost $7000, but the guy said just pay me $3000 and it's yours. He said it was the last one after a full day sale, and he was closing that day permanently. I was visiting my sister in law, and had to rent a trailer from U-Haul to tow it back home. At least I drove my truck down, or I couldn't have got the deal of the day. That thing shreds grass and leaves without bogging down the engine. My yard stays clear of ALL leaf invasions from my neighbors trees. Merry Christmas and Happy 2020 New Years to you and your Family from the Tate's.

Thank you for the Happiness meter. It always frustrates me with videos like this when they don't have an objective measurement like that.

Great video, my favourite part was when you added the brackets, it was riveting!😂 just found your channel and binge watching.

I've made my own as well. It has taken me a few years to work out some of the problems. The main problem with DYI leaf removal system like yours and mine is, there is no extra vac motor and mulching blade to help pull and push the leaf debris through the debris tube. To help solve this problem, the debris tube must be as straight as possible from the mower deck to the trailer. Your debris tube entry was mounted in the middle of the trailer which caused the tube to make a bend. You need to mount the tube entry to the far right side of the trailer to align more to the mower deck to achieve the straighter line. Good luck.

Cool. I dont have the room in my yard,although its big, to turn that around due to trees etc. I bought an old rider with mulching blades that's the way to go as far as i'm concerned.

Made me smile, looks like you had a lot of fun!!

Nice job Big thumbs up for proof of principle!!

So i found the 1/4 inch chicken wire works good for a screen and unloading the collection trailer or cans/bags is definitely something to design for easy use less sharp angles on the schute improves clog free performance because any edge collects it and always face the output of leaves away from you don't wanna be riding with a back full of dust and the flexibility to manuver around obstacles is great because happening to run into stuff because you're not used to your length :) fun shooting a plume of leaves though

Make a hitch that has the ball offset on the right to move the trailer over so the left side can be used for edge work.

Really awesome! Going to check MK II now 😋

That will be great mulch for a garden.

Great job, thanks for sharing your project - I am getting inspired from the several videos that I have watched by other D-I-Y Hacks. I must say your voice reminded me of a great Asian American actor James Shigeta!

Nice build a few things to reduce clogs. 1. reverse the direction of the pipe crimps (this is huge issue) 2. move the exhaust port from entering the middle of the trailer to the right side add a small kicker to the very end of the pipe if need to more evenly distribute clippings( this will allow you to 3,4,&5) 3. decrease the rise angle of discharge pipe 4. use as much smooth rigid pipe as possible. 5. eliminate as many bends or turns as possible

Love the energy lol nice

Unsure if another mentioned this, but are you running mulch blades on your mower deck? That might help out a bit.

Good job

Ok I never rake leaves. They provide a protective layer from the snow. And turn into food for plants.

Great video

Love it

doing this! Bad Boy mower baggers are crazy $$$

Cool buddy 👌✌️

What did you use to mount the duct to the mower deck? Looks great by the way, planning to do this too, I hate raking leaves lol.

I am super happy for you. I have to make one of these!! Interesting that I was already subscribed. Great video. I would have thought it needed a helper fan to keep the leaves from getting unstuck.

Nice build. Another Pro (over buying a lawn vac) would be eliminating additional storage footprint. You already have to store the trailer.

What did the pieces do to stop the jam up ,would a battery vacuum help the trailer suction issue ?

Great little project, I'm glad someone did the video. Love the shame dance after the field test and the neighbor wave. I have some experience with design simulation, dry bulk handling and dust collection - simulation can help visualize what's happening inside the system and design out flaws that cause flow jams, improve efficiency and maximize suction. If you ever want to take your shameless dorky project to the next level, let's collab!

tks. some useful ideas. i am getting more motivated to build one

Would that work for grass clippings as well ?

Hello, what type of mower did you use to attach yourself to the mower deck? thank you

Love my lawn vac. $230 for a new bag? Dayummmm. I hate my rider bagger system. Hates wet leaves. Clogs a lot.

Cool. I like your home build CNC more. haha

Best part about the collection is if you have a compost pile the leaves are the best fertilizer.

hey will like it but i think i otderd the bagging chute kit jusr the chute its stronger

Dude, you sure you're Canadian? That looks like some good ole Southern Redneck Ingenuity. Well done

I’m more interested in the “happy meter”. Where might one purchase that? Not to shappy!!!

at the end with the tool box and the thank you for watchign name dam hhahahahahahaha i love it 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Just mow the leaves. Done :)

Ahhh yesss... the music loop click. I'd rather rake leaves.

KZfaq algorithm brought me here, expect a channel up tick....

What type screws did you use see you drilled straight into

Why rake them, leave them to protect lawn in winter and add back to ground in spring when mowed.

We had a commercial leaf vac trailer that had a 5hp briggs motor/vac. I'm surprised your mower has enough gusto to get the leaves down the tube.

I'm very impressed by the simplicity and speed of the build. My only comment the section that bolts to the mower needs to be a lot tougher after just one use it's covered in dents.

Leaf Plow video by Tim from Tractor Tim with Tim showed a commercial by Terra King and they seemed to have solved the clogging problem by putting vents at the location You added the forward metal extension, plus they use an additional blower at the trailer off a PTO, but a small lawn mower engine could be mounted on the trailer to drive a blower to suck up and blow it way far into that trailer If You try it please post it here Thanks Ken PS How much fun is it unloading Your trailer?

Can just add a smaller unit on the back...like a plastic trash can on big side wheels. Trailer was overkill with the amount of leaves u will need to bag at the end

i like it but youmight see if you can find tractor tires of get wide can be bald less grooving

Great music - what is the title of the song ??

My man where on earth did you get that circle to rectangle adapter from I cannot for the life of me find something like that. Not even on the internet!!

Wonder if these would pick up those pesky sticker that we get in our yards here in north TX?

Of course, everyone has a cnc plasma cutter in their garage.

You forgot to add a pusher and shredder to push the leafs up and shreds them…

I really just need a metal peace cut to block my shoot for 42 x John Deere 2021 model

If you in GA I'll pay you to build one for me

get yourself a hysunfa 50cc back pack to blow it into windrows like the

Buy a lawn sweeper it is a lot more efficient and cheap

If you could reverse the plumbing, you would not be blowing into a sharp edge that causes the stoups.

Mulch blades keep you from raking, like your music on your vids.

Can't we buy from you

Silly me, I just mulch mine.

hey viny can you help me build my kids a toy that i have for real

I would lose the music

i like these kinds of videos but the damn music is unbearable

Turn Off the Music!

loose the music. too loud and distracting.

Or you could just cut the trees down

Dude the music is just TOO MUCH. Turn that shit down. Congratulations, you've just invented the Bagger attachment

y can't we remove our dashboards and have them scanned into a pc program and just pop out dashboards for car replacements? Better yer, y are manufactures replicating dashes or recording parts for forever replication.. This is insane? We need a national car manufactured or just take over the next defunct car maker! ...I dont understand y we can't make a replica dash for cars to pop right back in??

Need to pull all the free nutrients away from your property? Sick of not giving money to fertilizer and pest control companies!? Need that boring lawn back to that same shade of green everyone else has?!? Boy have we got some more things you can waste your money on...

cut out the crappy music.

Get rid of the annoying music.

Well I would have thought a ride-on mower with a catcher would do exactly the same thing and you would not be dragging a trailer around.😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫
