Leaf baler Ford 532??

[gordon21]

I saw a leaf baler yesterday in action. It was picking up leaves on a large lawn and baling them into 6' long bales about 2'x2' on the ends. I recently spent the last 20 years in south Florida, so this was a new sight for me. Are leaf balers common?? It said Ford 532 on the side. There was a pickup truck in the yard with several bales stacked in the back. I don't ever remember seeing one before when I used to live in Maine.

What would you do with a tightly packed bale of leaves??

Compost maybe? Get back at your jerk of a neighbor , maybe? When I work nights or weekends, I have to drive through a pretty well to do part of town, and usually the bags of leaves are just lining the side of the streets. I stop and load up my pickup on my way home, and dump them in my garden spot.

Can't say I have ever seen one before. They are welcome to come to my place and bale all the leaves they like.

I've never seen one. I would be curious. Any chance of getting a picture.

It's not a leaf baler, it's a regular old square baler they are using for leaves. Here's a picture:
