Super huge leaf clean-up part 2

Pretty cool watching your boys in the mix. Not often you see kids who actually want to work. Great job all around.

[@Scott.Farkus]

Debris collectors make leaf cleanup fun; they do a good job vacuuming out the truck to.

[@ronniewayne8681]

Awesome set up i lovd it

[@xysix2548]

Those leaves are pure gold for an organic gardener/fruit-grower. If I lived closer I would offer to clean that all up for your just for the leaves and pine needles. BTW, pine needles are the very best thing for blueberry mulch, and oak leaves are the very best thing for strawberry mulch. My leaf vacuum is also a shredder/grinder/chopper.

Just found your channel and just subbed, nice setup 👍

I subscribed. You and your family are good people. Looking forward to seeing more vids. I have 2 boys and 2 girls all young. They already ask if they can come with me. But maybe I'll wait a few more years. My oldest is 8 so my other ones are baby's. Good job out there guys👍

[@tommymann69]

Keep a rake with you at all times. It will make work alot easier on you

[@ADAVE-fg6li]

[@tommymann69]

I turn leaves into LANDSCAPE MULCH MO MONEY MO MONEY

[@justjacqueline2004]

Here in LOndon,UK,I have a small team of gardeners out cleaning up leaves here in St Johns Wood and Chelsea.It is an expensive event for our customers but the recycling is a huge part of the bill.

[@topflightlawncarelandscape316]

just curious on how you charge , do you incorporate the sucking and dumping into the job price?

[@stevemitchell4205]

We typically chat hourly. All our customers know we work hard and fast. We charge $35 per man hour

[@topflightlawncarelandscape316]

@@stevemitchell4205Here in middle Tn im at 75.00 per man hour for leaf cleanups and 70.00 during the regular mowing season

[@stevemitchell4205]

Yes, I try

[@mikespain8655]

Way too low. You should be at $85 per man hour.

[@rajendrabendale9987]

What do they do with this dry leaves?

[@peterherault]

How many ps ? 6 or 13 ps ?

[@tommymann69]

Mobile alabama in the house

[@tommymann69]

Check out Spencer lawn care for their giant leaf trailer on KZbin

[@Smittyschannel]

When he's almost done with a pile, it might be quicker to lay the hose down, & rake the leaves / pine needles into the nozzle

[@stevemitchell4205]

No. We had to scoop it out by hand. This year we use a stock trailer and have a pull out system.

[@austinsienkiewicz3144]

Does the machine ever get clogged

[@ashlinielson2578]

Details matter! Be more through in your clean up!

[@stevemitchell4205]

Your correct I think you would see how detailed we are if you saw our lawns in Joplin Mo

[@richardbarber4444]

If you ever saw a grain vac in action your leaf sucker would seem a little slow... just saying.. Try a wider thinner pipe end too. Good work boys.

[@MichaelTheakston]

Does that thing dump? or do you hand unload?

[@colebarrett4194]

Did you charge per hour per man

[@richardschaffling9882]

That would be so great to put in the garden I’ll take two truck loads

[@joshuabennett5026]

how many hp is that?

[@davecampbell1452]

Come to new england lol tons of yards like this and way bigger

[@stevemitchell4205]

It is an 18 hp Van Gaurd.

[@mikespain8655]

Seems like a pretty slow process.

[@wadedavis2376]

Did you mulch any leaves by mowing? Or do you just blow and vac everything?

[@elliottfletcher4622]

Put the hose on the ground and rake the leaves to the hose.

[@stevemitchell4205]

I usually do, but on this particular job we agreed on the price before hand

[@wendymorrison5619]

You can do that, but most guys can't vacuum a rug to save their own hides.

[@snoopfurlow1275]

A bush hog will multch them leaves up.they are good for garden

[@dhammon64]

Need a load or two of your leaves...

[@matthewimi]

"You're gonna need a bigger machine." That Billy Goat is only about 18 to 20 horsepower. Right? You need something about 35 horsepower and up, to really suck up those piles in a matter of minutes, instead of the pace your going at. Looks like fun, though.

[@stevemitchell4205]

On this job,. We blow About 75 percent and mulch the rest.

[@hootche1]

try a mini round bailer,

[@djcumminsdieselkingdude4719]

do you need a 15 year old who loves leaf vacuums?

[@stevemitchell4205]

18 hp

[@adrianbroughton9815]

Less talking more vacuuming

[@stevemitchell4205]

no

[@triumphovertragedy7860]

There's about a 300$ job.

[@triumphovertragedy7860]

Leaves are the most BORING part of the landscaping world. I would rather pull weeds lol. And I hate doing that even. Lol. But ya gotta love it to do this work. Apparently where I'm from EVERYBODY does it. I seen someone's grandma out cutting grass. Smh

[@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power]

_maybe_ 300 to pile it ....pickup, haul & dump are anothet matter entirely. leaves aren't boring when you get good money for your trouble. i personally enjoy putting my 8500 on leaves anyway, unless they're soaked.

[@frankieboyo1969]

I'd do it for the leaf mould as well as the money.

[@robertswift6101]

way more than 300 scott for that job....i will hire you all day everyday for 300 to do that job,,thats a steal

[@charlied2449]
