That is a lot of leaves. How about one of those house size tarps. push them on and then drag it away. That's how I do it.

THAT is a possible alternative!! I can rig up a lightweight "boom" on the FEL...blow them into a LARGE sized tarp...gather it up and lift it with my "boompole" ( not that its heavy or anything..but that way I wouldnt have to "drag" it)..and haul them off to where I want to deposit them.

In a post some time ago, I saw where a guy had built a large extension out of thin plywood for his fel. Since leaves are so light, it can be made quite large, and move a volume of leaves for very little money..... just a thought.

If you have the FEL power, that would be a great way of doing it. 1000lbs of leaves is A LOT!! of leaves. Glad I could help. I you need any other cheap solutions, I am your guy.
