Gents,
As some of you know, me and a few other sub compact owners have been racking our brains out looking for a PTO driven leaf vac (there are two brands out there for SCUTs but they hook up to the MMM which some of us don't have).
I called BXexpanded and Harry says he has a prototype nearly finished and will be available soon. Ballpark costs will be around $1,700 which is a lot cheaper than what's out there. It'll be a nuetral finish color (silver, sorry fellow orange lovers but Harry's trying to appeal to those green tractor guys as well as the blues and reds.
He didn't go into details but said that it will weigh between 300-400 lbs and will attach to the back of the tractor (not the 3-point hitch). Nothing touches the ground it simply "sucks" debris into the hopper from the intake.
He also said he could expedite the leaf vac ahead of his other 41 protoypes if there's enough interest. So I'm asking, if you are the least bit interested in an attachment like this then make a post. The leaves are already coming off the trees here and I'd be the first one in line to buy one. Your thoughts ? ? ?
