[Roadkill95]

Anyone know of a leaf vac system that will work with a 3pth and rear pto.?

Trac-Vac Model #854 is what you need.

I only looked at the one for a Massey (almost bought it). Roadkill95 didn't mention the tractor make.

There's several out there, but it's hard to make a recomendation without a filled in profile to know what he's going to use it on.

Its on the site don't know how much yet comes with the wagon. I need something that has the remote feature for flower beds and such.

I have the Swisher model that I bought at Northern, I don't use it for leaves but instead to collect grass for weed control in the garden/compost. It works pretty well once you figure out its little idiosyncrocies. It's not PTO driven but starts quickly....pretty loud too!

Speaking of Leaf/grass catching, I nailed this photo off the web some time ago...perhaps got it here. This looks pretty slick and more manuverable/unloadable than a trailer set up.

Having been a carpenter, this thing looks pretty easy to duplicate (out of plywood and Gorilla Glue for the box and angle steel for a mount for my old 5 hp leaf blower and the frame). I would only have to buy the "boot" and hose and rig hose connections to the blower.

Anyone know anything about this grass catcher in the photo? It sticks in my head that it was a kubota accessory from the UK market.

If I built this would the assist from a 5hp blower be enough to handle the output from a 60" kubota MMM deck? thoughts?
