[@edwardgarea7650]

All these guys have to do is call you and say, “Stan. We have some toys for you to play with.” And you say, “I’m there.” But I’m kidding. I admire what you do, helping out some local guys and using the reach of your site to give them a boost. Not too many people would do that, so more power to you and God bless.

[@stephentietz2144]

Brings back memories of doing clean ups at my old job. I miss doing lawn care. Was by far one of my favorite jobs I've done. N this is pretty cool, I can think of a few jobs we did where this would have helped a lot. Great job, you should sell the design. I bet people would buy it.

[@VowellVentures]

Where is the LOVE IT button!!!! Like is just not good enough!!!! I was thinking I would end up dreading leaving the large birch in my 2.5 acre lawn cut I just did, but with a bit of creativity and fabrication I now think it will just be an excuse for more seasonal outdoor fun!!! This is so awesome on so many levels! Thanks for the post!

Really enjoyed watching all the neat tools in action. I'm slowly learning that the right tools are always a good investment, and even make grunge job's a pleasure.

Who else out there hates it when they do a great job of raking their leaves and their neighbor does NOTHING and in the first Highwind it all ends up on your yard?

[@4sl648]

Very ingenious! I had a house that had mostly oaks that held their leaves until just before the first big snow. I hated having to do the leaf cleanup of wet matted leaves in the spring if I missed the tiny fall raking window

[@cycleandhide]

nature is why that window is so short, it's unpleasant to remove but the soil needs leaf litter during the winter to protect your soil biome.

[@4sl648]

@@cycleandhide makes me feel better. Viva la Biome!

[@aprilgeneric8027]

@@cycleandhide it doesn't need 6" to 2 feet of leaves. that's plant warfare preventing seeds from making soil contact and poisoning/conditioning the soil so that nothing else can grow there except that type of tree. an inch or two of leaves will help insulate grass from a hard deep freeze, but leaving that wet leaves there under the snow will kill the grass by cutting of air from reaching it and keeping it all fungus rich and acidic poisoned top cover. UofMinn land management program teaches such things as well as the ag program and horticulture program. your soil biome should be made up of what you want growing in that soil, not of what you don't want. the difference between a weed and a plant is a plant is what you want growing there, anything you don't want growing there is a weed even if it's a fire maple or a rose or kentucky blue in a pine forrest.

[@rerolley]

This is clearly from a previous year, leaves here in southern Wisconsin are barely turning now and the Twin Cities area is not that far ahead of us.

Impressed by a guy who’s adult kids will not return home to visit a 58 yr old dad and 52 yr old mom in the fall.. 😁 We have 3/4 acre and same Amount of leaves. We use 2 backpack blowers, a large tarp, 3 adults,3 rakes and dump the tarp full off the edge of a steep ravine. This has been the most fascinating video to me of all of Stan’s. I am sending it out to the family around the country.

[@charleswise5570]

Those guys were pretty cool! Maybe do a collaboration with them Great video Stan!

[@EddieSchirmer]

i can imagine having some air barriers. maybe using a light mesh that will still catch leaves but let the wind through, that you could line up along your work zone, to minimize leaf into the road issues. maybe have 6-8 or 10 foot sections that could easily be set out along the job site, or to help contain leaves in a certain spot for collection like next to the leaf vac. then each panel could be set on the side of a work truck in custom brackets and each of the panels have their own mechanism to stand them up on their own. so like two folding legs with wide foot pads for stability on maybe uneven ground, and a light aluminum frame with adequate supports. then i think depending on their overall length, or whatever was most convenient and efficient, at least three to six of them could fit on a truck or in a truck bed in their own spot. i was thinking they would be very nice for a homeowner too, for helping them contain piles as they went so instead of having to chase around so many stray leaves when blowing, you could funnel them where you want them to go with such panels.

[@joerapo]

You could make them out of PVC and fill the bottom parts of the frame with sand for some weight. I like the idea.

[@stanhensley3082]

Wow,that thing should really help rake in the money!! Thanks 🙃.No, really neat idea 💡.

[@creamysbrianna]

@Stanley "Dirt Monkey" Genadek Yes municipalities across the country have been using sidewalk tractors with a leaf pusher for decades on roads to clean up leaves.

[@jamespapandrea8979]

Spencer Lawn Care has a great Leaf loader that thing is a beast

[@alisciamarotta3888]

They do, but their vac needs to be turned to where the inlet is parallel to the curb, this way straight shot/vacuuming instead of intake hose bending at a 90°, restricting the flow of leaves and blocking it.... especially on wet leaves.

[@olivercurren35]

Is this from last year?

[@pammager7135]

Great job fellas! Remember raking leaves long ago. Never ending process. Always someone in the neighborhood that wouldn't clean their leaves. Then we'd hope for a good snow to freeze them on that property!

[@philliprickman1394]

Nice. Many years ago, I made one out of an old water heater cut in half. Saves lots of time.

[@Derf1313]

Wonder if they can market that, or at least collect some royalties! Although, there's probably some offshore group, watching videos & stealing ideas that will be here prior to next season... Nice work Stan! & Kool playtime, haven't been able to launch into leaf piles for some decades, lol! Thanx !

When I was a kid, a long time ago, growing up on the Jersey shore, the town had a leaf vacuum trailer blowing into a dump truck. The top of the trailer was all expanded steel. It would rain down leaf particles but so what. It worked well and breathed well too

Greet video Stan. Clever pushing device on the Toro. Saves lot of time and fuel. Noticed they had a little walk behind Toro could almost replace that with a billy goat wheeler vacuum for the tidying up bits? Just a thought. Better bagging than a mower and bigger bag.

Just to give you a heads up put broom heads on the bottom edge bolted to a p 3 inch angle across the back you won’t leave one leave when it’s very forgiving over roots ,I have five of them ,go broom not conveyor belt

[@CDLund.]

Was think the same thing. Definitely a productive lil unit tho.

[@bat__bat]

The leaf bulldozer is great. The shredder trailer is great too. What do they do with a full trailer? I guess they could burn it or reuse it for mulch? Beats the heck out of raking.

[@Morning.Coffee]

Bagged mulch would be great!

[@steveg6060]

I live in Ocala Florida, do you feel that fall came early for you? My weather is f-ed this year since the hurricane and weather changes. My yard isn't doing what's normal. I've only got a small 14 acre farm

[@rosemarierubano5894]

Worked for a Municipality and we had Bat wing mowers we used in the parks . I would push piles and lift the deck and mulch them out. Fun times.

[@SeattlePioneer]

I get most of the leaves from three big oak trees. Over 35 years, I've developed some pretty decent methods of cleaning these up. 1. An ordinary rake to gather leaves. 2. A tarp on which to move leaves, and then slide them to their destination 3. A compost pile which is the destination for the leaves. No machinery required, and it's really pretty fast and easy. One advantage of this is that there is very little actual work involved ---that is LIFTING of material. nIt's mostly pushing the leaves around with the rake, which moves a lot of leaves and doesn't take much work (in the sense of physics) to do.

[@bruceprosser4283]

This is why I like watching Dirt Monkey, You give credit where credit is do!!! Peace

[@erichodges3043]

This leaf pusher is a cool idea and very lightweight well put together. I saw one from the other guy in Iowa husband and wife team? Them using a purchased leaf pusher and it tends to clog up?

[@richardpickell8062]

Simple, smart innovation.

[@Ragnar1822]

That's some cool toys But see I did bulk leaf clean up the first year I moved to Indiana.. I said to myself that's the last time.. So I built myself a shoot blocker. I had to cause I purchased a mulching kit for my xt1 52" cub and it was plastic.. It broke.. So even when the grass is dieing I still go out once a week and mulch leaves. If the the leaves are really bad I go over it twice. And it looks like some one came and sucked the leaves up..

[@royaldesignpythonsorionjon720]

I feel like the little metal flexible fingers that are on those old school** leaf rakes would be a great addition to the bottom of the bucket

Definitely didn’t invent it. There are nice aluminum leaf plows on the market, but they’re north of $600

This isn't something new or revolutionary. Leaf pushers have been in use by Major municipalities across the US for decades to clean leafs up off of streets.

I have a parking lot sweeping business and do commercial and hi tech buildings in San Jose. We use Masco sweepers but so many leaves we just use the head (part that sucks all the debris) as a plow and make mounds of leaves. Got to check the screen doesn’t plug up or it will not suck up anything.

[@John13Edge]

Wondering if you added a broom off of a lawn sweeper to the bottom if it would improve leaf pickup….

[@Jacked97Ram]
