Default My New (used) leaf Vacuum!

Well It's my first year in business and I have been gearing up for Fall.

I got my major piece of fall equipment, a 16hp leaf vacuum! It took a little bit of shopping around but i finally found a good one, it has electric start and a brand new battery and this thing starts up very well and seems to be reliable.

Best part; It only cost me $600. It's a 2008 and man does this thing move some air...

Now I got to figure out fabricate this to mount to the front of my dump trailer.

The red dump trailer is mine and the black one is one that i found online that I kind of want mine to look like, just with the vacuum up front.

for some reason i cant attached the leaf vacuum picture, ill put it on image shack instead!

Lawn care business tips
Hmmm, ...

I caught on fire last year because leaves rested on the engine of my tractor, I'm sure this wont be any different.

Any way you can use the bed of your truck instead, and mount the vac to your trucks hitch?

You can add height to the bed of your truck with some good ol' wood!
