Homemade leaf bag extension in use - bagging leaves

[@davel1044]

I have a toro grandstand with accelerator bagger and I made one from a harbor freight 8x10’tarp today before I went out and did leaves looking for a easier way too bag and found these videos. It worked great! Awesome idea

[@CountrysideStrong]

Thanks glad it worked for you

[@rhoderickbarnes5769]

Thanks for the info did exactly as u said and works like a dream!! I use it on my old girl Gravely 50 Hydro-Pro with accel bag cage for leaf clean-ups. Maintenance keeping ol girl running too with over 1080 hrs. Thanks again for the help.

[@CountrysideStrong]

Awesome glad it helped

[@happysfamilywnc]

Oh Very nice! Looks like it works great! I guess I know what the boss is making me do this weekend! lol

[@CountrysideStrong]

It's awesome. Saves tons and tons of time

[@jeffpratt3707]

Great idea I love and hate my grass gobbler this should make me love it again.

[@CountrysideStrong]

Makes a huge difference

[@bubbafudpucker397]

Small engine guy here. Lucas Red and Tacky is my favorite grease also. Following a maintenance schedule is the only way to keep machinery going year after year. Some people just don't get it.

[@chriswhiteside9071]

I just made one and discovered the same size issue. Off to get a 9x7. I need just over 7.5 ft around to fit on my grass gobbler opening. I’ll fold it the shorter side and use the 9ft side. Thx for idea man.

[@CountrysideStrong]

No problem glad I could help

[@tgray8593]

Love the idea...what size tarp should I get from Harbor Freight?....I see you used zip ties too.

[@CountrysideStrong]

I don't remember exactly but I'm pretty sure I mentioned it in the video

[@josephhallahan3527]

Nice video I put it on my Wright 36i works great

[@CountrysideStrong]

Awesome

[@keithdougherty1584]

I had 2500 hrs. On my old mower b4 I sold it, and I only had to replace one spindle because I ran over a stupid rock. My current mower, has 1200hrs and no problems so far. I've been using marine grade grease, because I have a boat with trailer and I just buy it in bulk. Seems to be working out fine. Plus, keeping sharp blades puts less strain on spindles.

[@CountrysideStrong]

All very good points

[@jmlawncarelandscaping9676]

Going to make this. Two questions: Is the 5x7 not the recommended size any longer? When running this, are you mowing at a higher setting or lower than normal?

[@CountrysideStrong]

All different heights and the tarp size depends on what grass catcher you're using. Measure the catcher

[@jmlawncarelandscaping9676]

@@CountrysideStrong Thanks. What size do you use for your accelerator? I'll be using the same Accelerator catcher, but the standard size instead of the 6.2 you have.

[@happysfamilywnc]

I like greasing all my mowers, I'm not very good about the trimmers but mowers are always done!

[@CountrysideStrong]

I forget to grease my trimmers someone's but I try to stay on it as much as I can because I run them without the guard

[@srcae82]

Great idea! BTW what was the name of the music you had on the video?

[@CountrysideStrong]

Thanks. I just use random KZbin music

[@josead2506]

What kind of blades you are using their? And why you dont use the walker ghs? I also have a old johndeere quiktrak looks just like the grant dane.

[@CountrysideStrong]

G6 Gators

[@daniellindstrom9002]

Yeah, why don't you use the walker ghs?

[@CountrysideStrong]

@@daniellindstrom9002 I've explained it in a few videos. This system holds more, I can mulch what I need to and only bag what I have to, and the muddy, nasty wet conditions beats the hell outta the Walker.

[@daniellindstrom9002]

Got it. Makes sense. I'm excited to use my new (to me) walker ghs this fall on my heavily wooded lot.

[@CountrysideStrong]

@@daniellindstrom9002 they work phenomenal

[@slowrider30]

Thanks for the vid

[@CountrysideStrong]

👍👍

[@fabriciorodriguez6099]

Hey bud what size is the tarp ??

[@CountrysideStrong]

7x9. The video I made about a month ago on how to make it, that was a 5x7 I believe and that's too small to for over grass catcher

[@brianbuzzell8848]

No, I've never tested it yet, back to the drawing board....7x9, here we come, ideas for the smaller one? Sleeping bag?

[@CountrysideStrong]

@@brianbuzzell8848 lol, maybe

[@edboy343cutgrass9]

I made a bag last year and the ingredients less then 20 bucks lol. Instead of the twist tie or bungie I actually use a tie down

[@CountrysideStrong]

That's a great idea I may try that. Thanks for the idea

[@RedRockMaintenance]

That looks like it works good. The only hard part I see is getting them back out of the bag. LOL

[@CountrysideStrong]

Lol, it's actually easier than I showed. I forgot to take that strap off I had on it

[@rolytech212]

CountrysideLawn you don’t forget to grease but forgot a bunji cord.. LOL just kidding.

[@CountrysideStrong]

@@rolytech212 lol, I had one in the trailer. Keep watching it shows. I just wanted to see if the other way would work. Apparently I was wrong lol

[@mystorymylife9998]

I love that saying

[@CountrysideStrong]

Amen

[@georgemyers6518]

I’m surprised that bag fills up without being ventilated with small perforations like a bag on a push mower but I saw it with my own 2 eyes on the video that it does

[@CountrysideStrong]

Lol, I showed in the other video how I made it, I space the zip ties about every 3" or so.... It breaths out of those gaps enough without letting the leaves out

[@georgemyers6518]

I went back and watched the video on making the bag.absolutely amazing how easy it is and economical as well

[@CountrysideStrong]

@@georgemyers6518 that's why I showed it. Insane what you can do with very little

[@detailedlawnservices3971]

What height is your deck at?

[@CountrysideStrong]

3"

[@GreenworksLawnandLandscape]

Genius!

[@CountrysideStrong]

Thanks brother. It really is amazing and cost about $15 to make vs $200+ for the Giant Green Bag they sell online

[@GreenworksLawnandLandscape]

Sounds like a business opportunity to me!

[@CountrysideStrong]

@@GreenworksLawnandLandscape there's already 2 companies that make them.

[@GreenworksLawnandLandscape]

@@CountrysideStrong but not at a reasonable price point.

[@CountrysideStrong]

@@GreenworksLawnandLandscape very true

[@RandyOrton21000]

what happened to your T model?? O:

[@CountrysideStrong]

Still got it

[@RandyOrton21000]

oh good just giving it a break?

[@CountrysideStrong]

@@RandyOrton21000 yup, it isn't going anywhere

[@RandyOrton21000]

haha good kinda figured you'd use it for leaf pick up

[@CountrysideStrong]

@@RandyOrton21000 I did last year, this is a better set up and I need that MT more for Spring so I don't like beating the hell out of it doing leaves

[@gregstickler3798]

So you picked up all those leaves then drop them on the footpath so they can blow all over the place ? I don’t understand

[@CountrysideStrong]

Nope. Once they run through the machine they're mulched, compacted so they pretty much stay in place. Within a day the town picks them up. And pay attention, they're not on the "foot path", it's a side walk by the way, they're on the grass between the sidewalk and the road.

[@gregstickler3798]

Countryside Vlogs no in Australia we call it foot path and wow your clippings get picked up Not here you either mulch or catch then remove and take to dump or tip which you pay for

[@CountrysideStrong]

@@gregstickler3798 ouch, ok I'm sorry I didn't realize where you're from. Most townships here pick up leaves, debris. No grass tho.

[@triumphovertragedy7860]

My quick cat is sealed spinals 🤷‍♂️.

[@CountrysideStrong]

Allot of mowers now are....
