Aaeolien Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Whoops. Gave up on what's left of the leaves a couple weeks ago. Will get them in the spring. Too much in the yard now. lol. In another couple of weeks it'll al be snow out there anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
portcity_gt Posted November 30, 2014 Author Share Posted November 30, 2014 Well i have 23 trees in my front yard....and we dont get any snow, so the leaves are definitely my biggest problem. I guess ill just have to blow them away from the props and burn them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TGabriel Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 I thought that why you use a blower instead of a mower this time of year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
portcity_gt Posted November 30, 2014 Author Share Posted November 30, 2014 I have a Commercial mower that turns them into itty bitty pieces, much easier than blowing raking and burning. I just have to stay away from the wires lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max-Paul Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Some blowers also double as a vac / shredder. Where the output can be directed to a can with a yard bag inside. Or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
portcity_gt Posted November 30, 2014 Author Share Posted November 30, 2014 Yea max, i had a small one of those,it didnt work too good,granted we're dealing with a lot of trees on a 2.5 acre yard lol.This was actually just a last minute (bad) decision when i was moving the mower into the shop today. I dont plan on getting it anywhere near the display again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max-Paul Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Not pointing fingers. Just trying to help make a suggestion. As you say, a small unit just aint made to handle such a large job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
portcity_gt Posted December 1, 2014 Author Share Posted December 1, 2014 Hey, at least it was just one zip cord and not a data cable lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Simmons Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 I guess that's one problem we don't have this time of year. I once caught a cord in the snow blower auger though. Made one helluva mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
portcity_gt Posted December 1, 2014 Author Share Posted December 1, 2014 ^ you can have that white stuff! It was almost 80 degrees here today lol. I can probably count on one hand all the times ive seen snow on the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Simmons Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Yeah - that's about the same number of times I've seen leaves on the ground this time of year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Sarge Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 I know the feeling.... I did it last year but it was elec. my hedge trimmer getting the lights I forgot was till in a hedge...lol after I took down my Halloween display i went over my grass with my new Troy Built riding XP Horse with it set on like number 3 to give me about a 2 inch high grass cut..... Pulled a Yard sweeper behind it at the same time all over my 2.5 acre yard cut my yard pretty close so it got all the leaves and twigs etc. I am surrounded by large pine trees and plenty of needles and cones, as well as leaves from some others. Hopefully with the water rationing we have in Cali right now it will not grow so fast that I have to trim it before January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
