I guess that just proves I purchase cheap duct tape.

Very nice. I really wish PT would make a leaf-vac attachment. Seems like it wouldn稚 be too difficult. Maybe I will make my own one of these days.

Sounds like a great idea. If you find a good source for a fan, let us know.
All the best,

I have a tow-behind Rubbermaid cart. I've been contemplating finding an old Snapper 28" ish round mower deck and suspending it under the cart, and powering it with a hydraulic mower. Those little Snappers were great for picking up leaves. They blow almost straight up, so all I'd need to do is put a hose in it and run it straight up to a canvas bag-topper for the Rubbermaid cart with a 1X3 frame for support for the bag. Someday....
Sign me up, id buy one as well. Going to go at it myself this spring (buying a cyclone rake). I lined most of my finish mower deck with a rubber skirt. I'm thinking i will notch out space for a regular lawn tractor adapter, mount it up and give it a try. Based on the spitting of leaves this fall I think the best spot to suck from is the back left or front right.
IF / when I get it all rigged up I will take some pictures and report back.

I think they used to make a blower. I don稚 know why they stopped. Does anyone else remember this?

Could be a bad memory on my part.
