Not trying to hijack the thread form the OP but thought I had a photo to give and idea of one type of 3pt blower.
Here is the one we use at the house. It is on the MX5100, that is next to our BX25 for reference.


Thats it

1 year of leaving them and we have a dead yard around here. We are THICK with leaves - some spots get deep enough that if you don't keep cleaning them up you can't just drive through with the mid mount deck because they pile up in front and start dragging a big pile around.

I guess that makes sense. We just mow what’s on the ground and don’t think anymore about it. Doesn’t sound like anything y’all get though.

Around here the county can fine you for an unkept yard .

What in the world can the county fine you for?

Yeah, OK. I've seen a few of those before. I guess I just never thought about what they were used for. I assumed parking lot cleaning. Never put much thought into it. Had a home with lots of trees when I lived in Mississippi but, I just kept mowing over the leaves and chopping them up. Don't have that issue in Kentucky, every home I've owned here has younger trees. Thanks for providing that picture. :thumbsup:

<snip>He tries to get me to let him do the leaves for $ 300 bucks . Young guy well spoken ,he tells me it will take me ALL day with that tiny blower . Even said something regarding my age that I may pull my back . So I have a bit of fun . I say " I think $300 is a bit steep for a half an hours work dont you ?"
He laughed "This will take the 2 of us at least 2 hours , no way we could do it in a half hour " <snip>.
4 hours of untrained labor ? $300!!

Need some pics and closeups of this. Until this thread, I have never heard of a tractor mounted blower. Sounds like something we could all use.
