The company that did the cleanup before us used 4 guys and it took them 8 hours to clean up that yard.

[@superior3384]

Marksmisfitworld ... yeah. Your lawn mowers with the baggers really help. Very good investment

new sub here. GREAT PROFESSIONAL job. Thanks for taking the time to share. God Bless

[@LestatTravesty]

i just complete my biggest of the season. 2 acre wooded lot. bout .5 acre open for the yard, house and drive. actual cleanup acrage was 1.5, wooded... 9 loads removed with a 14 ft trailer with a big net cage over it. its like a big sweeper bag. i back my trailer up to the front pile and usually the back pile as well and blow them straight into it. my 8500 Redmax blows more leaves in a minute than a city vac can suck them. so i load a 40 pile in 20 minutes. pack it and load another 15 ft, pack it once more and load another 15 ft. making it load a total 70 foot pile per load. so that job was around 550 foot pile. haul off and unload round trip took 1.15 hours. 8 hours of cleanup time. total time was around 24 hours. $1,200 plus $300 to gather up all the down branches and sticks... made me one happy camper lol.. 1 8500 RedMax. 1 man. 1 14 ft landscape trailer and my good ol Jimmy 4x4. total rig cost with the 02 Jimmy is about $4,200...its amazing people will put out years of work to pay off their business equipment just to avoid any more "actual" work then they have to. but i am beast with a blower. 3 times faster than any body else and i make sure of it. i see peoples philosophy of buyer a stronger blower so they can work easier. i say "what the hell? work easier just make the blower work harder? how about bot work max speed and both bust ass and get a job done the same speed as a 3 to 4 man crew" ..i remember a client telling me "you know?.. last year the guys did it with a walk behind and a back pack. 2 guys one with a walk behind. and you did it alone and 4 hours faster and charged me $60 more" lol.. i laughed abit and said.. you see who is showing up this year to do the job? exactly. 11 hours for two men for $180. they probably just took up a burger flipping job this winter bud lol (he was feeling bitter about paying 1 guy considerably more than 2 guys lol)

[@antonioblocker3292]

Looks like a house across the street from my job off 96

[@KeikoMushi]

All of the mulch, compost and leaf mould that could be made from those leaves.

[@dannyd5697]

Way cool video. I came here as I was looking at possibly buying a leaf vac of some sort. I take care of my folks yard for em. 1.5 acres. Trees similar to what's in this video. I currently have a bagger, but it's not the best set up. Two bins in the back. 20 trips to dump and I still have a long way to go. Plus the leaves aren't done falling yet. Beats raking though. What I'm wondering is how many times did you have to empty?

[@t69gto]

Have you tried the cyclone Rake system? Their commercial grade system would be an upgrade from what you have. Especially when you are doing these heavy jobs..

[@Marksmisfitworld]

My buddy has a Cyclone rake and it does not work as good as the DR does.

[@t69gto]

@@Marksmisfitworld Thanks Mark, I was going to buy my son the Cyclone Rake until I saw your video and feedback. I'll lean towards the DR.

[@Robey1Kenobi]

@@Marksmisfitworld What is the big difference? The DR dumps easier doesn't it?

[@Marksmisfitworld]

The DR dumps easier and it also spreads up the leaves smaller.

[@Robey1Kenobi]

@@Marksmisfitworld I'm gonna have to get one for next year.

[@rpsimoes1382]

Great work but no music,please! Congratulations from Brasil.

[@ninerbug]

It looked like I was watching a game of pac-man

[@Th3Riddick]

This isn't criticism, just curiosity. 1. Are these machines mowing and mulching at the same time? 2. Why do you dump all the mulched leaves in the backyard? Is that typical for every job instead of hauling off, I guess the customer does something with them instead?

[@Marksmisfitworld]

With the amount of leaves in this yard hauling them away would double the cost of the cleanup. They have a compost pile in the back of the yard that we just dump on so it save them money and saves us time and they also get more compost to use around their property.

[@Th3Riddick]

@@Marksmisfitworldahhhhhh, makes much more sense. I recently moved to a more rural location that actually has leaves, it seems like most people here just do burn piles.

[@urbanawoodproject3123]

Hi Mark, based on your experience with the DR, where would you draw the line in terms of mower weight and power? I've used that same leaf vac and I think with wet leaves it can probably weigh over 1,000lb (maybe 1,200?) total. Shopping for a new mower now and worried the lighter hardware store models wouldn't be able to safely tow such a heavy collector up and down steep driveway skirts.

[@paraglidersean2698]

I'm planning on getting a Scag TT & a Walker. I don't want to take the bagger on & off every time I switch from maintenance to clean up. How long does it take?

[@Marksmisfitworld]

About a minute

[@alan30189]

Good job. That will make a HUUUUGE compost pile! A mulching blade on your mower would make it compact better in your container. You should seriously wear ear protection though, even on quieter mowers, or you are going to be hard of hearing.

[@Marksmisfitworld]

I am wearing ear protection all of the time. Never start any equipment without my ear plugs in.

[@alan30189]

Marks Misfit World - Cool! Sorry, Couldn’t see it.

[@Marksmisfitworld]

alan30189 not a problem. A lot of people think I don’t have hearing protection because can’t wear earmuff hearing protection.

[@Robey1Kenobi]

This is a huge yard, how big is it, a couple acres? Great setups you guys have.

[@Marksmisfitworld]

It is about 2 acres

[@jonboyer4058]

How big is your trailer? And how many times did you have to empty that DR vac?

[@azimmey]

Ummm did you get all those leaves in that vac DR type vacuum system ??

[@rizzo600]

Need to learn how to mulch the leaves, then pick them up with the bagger system, you'll pick up a lot more/dump less and be more efficient.

[@Marksmisfitworld]

Going over the same area more than once is not productive. Especially if dumping on site.

[@billkerry2120]

What is name of music or music link @ 1624?

[@robertsmith3518]

I was reading the posts and the info on DR Power products #1 the overall reviews suck ,#2 You cant use the leaf vacuum below 40 degrees bc the cheap plastic hose will crack .That per the folks at DR Power . Not sure what genius thought that leaf pickup would occur any time but the fall and it will drop below 40 . I will keep looking but DR Power equipment will not be on my radar

[@Marksmisfitworld]

The DR does what I want it to do, but you are right about the cheapest hose to put on it.

[@marshallcollins8634]

How many times did you have to empty the DR ? I know it didn't do all that on one trailer load.My property looks like that at 17:40 ( without the stump) After 27 years of backpack blowers I'm getting to old for that nonsense/and I have better things to do. This seems to be the ticket. Thanks for the video.

[@Marksmisfitworld]

I have no idea how many times I dumped. I know it was a bunch of times.

[@danhuff7133]

When I was young I loved having trees in my yard now I would like to have them all cut down their just too much work for me to handle

[@fredkaminski6138]

What do you do with the leafs after they are vacuumed up? Also, you don't chain or tie down your equipment? WTF!

[@Marksmisfitworld]

Leaves go into a compost pile. Trailer has sides on it, not required to be strapped down. If a mower comes off of the trailer I have bigger problems

[@curtc3321]

About how many times did you have to dump the trailer for this yard? Is it something like 5 or 20?

[@FishFind3000]

Marks Misfit World still pretty sure you need to secure your load.

[@Marksmisfitworld]

As many times as I have been pulled over by the DOT officers I would have gotten a ticket for insecure load by now if they needed to be strapped down on a trailer with sides.

[@stevenclark5450]

I realize that the prices for leaf clean-ups vary around the country, but would love to know how much you charged for this job. I believe you said it took 2 of you 3.5 hours or 7 man-hours in total. Great job!

[@Marksmisfitworld]

We charge $50 per person for the cleanups.

[@bikes7777]

@@Marksmisfitworld $50 for all that? I would charge $700-900!

[@Marksmisfitworld]

That would be $50 per person per hour.

[@bkipme3766]

Not to be rude, just curious. In your area what does a job like this pay?

[@Marksmisfitworld]

With cleanups we get $100 per hour. The cleanup takes an average of 3 hours so it would be $300

[@super20dan]

make one pass and mulch -then vac .

[@Marksmisfitworld]

Making a pass to mulch up wet leaves then try to pick them up don’t work. Been there tried it we are not amateurs. We used to maintain 195 yards.

[@super20dan]

@@Marksmisfitworld you had to set deck height for wife. . have you ever seen a snapper hi vac at work on leaves with a gator blade? that's how you do leaves. cheap and does a better job than a z with expencive blower catcher.

[@wyattslawnservice7212]

Wow nice work! What is the leaf bagger on wheels attachment called? I really like how it could store so many leaves!

[@Marksmisfitworld]

It's called a DR Leaf and Lawn Vac. it is the biggest one that DR makes.

[@lechandler4041]

It is a shame the customer waited too long to mulch up any of the leaves.

[@wyattslawnservice7212]

Marksmisfitworld thanks for the name of the vac!

[@Marksmisfitworld]

This is a fall cleanup and spring clean up only on this yard and they don't want the leaves mulched into the yard.

Money is money, but I am suprised you have time to schedule them. Looks like a nice house/neighborhood. Hope you make them pay for your time.

About how much do you charge for that fall cleanup if you don’t mind thanks.

[@Marksmisfitworld]

$350

[@DmacReviews]

Just got the older version DR vac! Noticed you have a scag bagger as well.. which do you prefer?? obviously the dr has more capacity, but was curious since its also more cumbersome

[@Marksmisfitworld]

I like the DR better just by the volume it will hold and the speed that it picks up and chops the leaves. The clam shell works best in those tiny can’t turn around in yards.

[@easyouts3252]

I got rid of my john deere dump from seat collection system because it clogged all the time in heavy leaves. Do you notice anything similar woth the scag system? Is that why you used the DR where the leaves were heavier?

[@Marksmisfitworld]

The Scag clogs up all of the time too. DR works the best on the wet heavy leaves.
